What Revival Is 6

Revival is recovered joy.  Far too many people today are looking for happiness.  The problem with that is that happiness depends upon stuff or circumstances.  What people need is true joy.  Joy is a result of our relationship with Jesus Christ.

If I know Jesus Christ as my Saviour then I should be filled with His joy.  This joy does not depend upon what happens or what does not happen.  Joy comes from Jesus.  It is produced by the Holy Spirit of the Living God.  He lives in us and so that joy should flow freely from us.

Look at Psalm 51:12, “Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.”  We have to be careful.  We can allow too many things to cause us to surrender our joy.  Nobody or nothing can take our joy away from us.  We willingly surrender it.

As you go through life do you have the joy of the LORD?  It will be obvious if you do.  It will just radiate from us like sunshine.

So, how are you doing?
