What is happiness? Have you attained true happiness? These two simple questions have plagued people

Posted

And to have the Joy of the Lord (the knowledge you will spend eternity..with God), bears you up through the hard times and can give one a peace, in times of total disarray and turmoil. I have seen this with my sister, who suffered greatly but has a peace and joy only obtained through having the Joy of the Lord....

Being content 

For me I realize that my happiness comes from not living above my means, by acknowledging and thanking the Lord for what he provides, I came from a bad family life where I lived on the street starting at the age of 18, I never had much and never unpacked my things thinking I would have to get up and move at any moment.

I now have a job that supports me and pays my bills I only have to work 2 twelve hour shifts a week, the rest of the time I use for Bible study and working out

My relationship with my dad is the Best because we both admitted we made mistakes and we both love Christ

I don’t live like a rockstar, but I don’t need for anything ( the Lord provides) and as he says “ I knew you before I put you in the womb”)

God has a plan for my life as well as all of us., Happiness to me I’d being content with what I have and in my Fathers Embrace.

That is happiness to me

SHALOM❤️

Our happiness centers on Jesus Christ.

These two questions can make all difference in our life. And I add two more question:

  • If you aren't happy, who or what are precluding you of reaching the joy? 
  • Why are you doing what you are doing if this don't make you happy?

Happiness is a little butterfly that flits around you and occasionally lands on you. You could spend your life chasing it, and if you ever did catch it, you would just end up killing it

Much more sustainable, and enduring is the Joy of the Lord.  Enjoy the happy moments, but dwell in the joy of the Lord

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
