Can you imagine coming to a 34 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 6: god who you don't know what he thinks about you, 35 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 6: You don't know how he feels about you, You don't know. 36 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 5: But we don't come to a god like that. 37 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 6: We come to a good God who's already told us 38 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 6: that he loves with an everlasting love, that he redeemed 39 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 6: us for his good pleasure.

Life tries to 45 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 6: tell us something totally different. It tries to show us difficulties, heartaches, hardships. 46 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,399 Speaker 6: But Jesus is saying, I've given you my joy. I've 47 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 6: given you what you need to defeat. 48 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 5: The power of the enemy and stay strong in this life. 49 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 6: Amen, You've got what it takes to stand strong in 50 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 6: the Lord Jesus Christ. 51 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 5: And that's what I want to talk a little bit 52 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 5: about today. I want to talk about staying strong in 53 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 5: God through joy. 54 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 6: The Bible says that the joy of the Lord is 55 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 6: our strength. That's what Neemiah told the people who were downcast. 56 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 6: He said, go eat, celebrate. The joy of the Lord 57 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 6: is your strength. 58 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 5: It is what is going to sustain you. 59 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 6: It's gonna fight off anxiety, it's gonna help balance your life. 60 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 6: And Jesus said, the joy that he had, he gave 61 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 6: it to us. 62 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 5: He said, my joy I give to you, and I 63 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 5: give it to the full. 64 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 6: Now, the joy that Jesus gave us is not dependent 65 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 6: on what is going on around us. See, the joy 66 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 6: that Jesus gave us is on the inside of us. 67 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 6: You see, God does his work on the inside of us. 68 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 6: When you said yes to Jesus Christ, the outside didn't 69 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 6: immediately change, but the inside did you See he put 70 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 6: seeds on the inside of you. He gave you a 71 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 6: new heart, a new start, the ability to take what 72 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 6: He's put on the inside of you and make it 73 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 6: come out of you. See, God's blessings start on the inside, 74 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 6: but they show up on the outside. 75 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 5: You see. 76 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 6: I have a lemon tree, and when I got it 77 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,679 Speaker 6: and planted it, it had no lemons on it. 78 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 5: It was a lemon tree, but it had no lemons. 79 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 5: But I took care of it. 80 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 6: I watered it, I fed it, I made sure that 81 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 6: it was, you know, was in the right soil. I 82 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 6: did everything I could to cultivate and develop the lemons. 83 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 6: And sure enough, that lemon tree that had no old 84 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 6: lemons on the outside produced them from the inside. So 85 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 6: my lemon tree now has fruit that I. 86 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 5: Can eat from. 87 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 6: And do you know that's how joy were. Joy is 88 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 6: inside of us. But we must cultivate it. We must 89 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 6: tap into it, because there is fruit in there that 90 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 6: we have to eat from if we are going to overcome. 91 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 5: The trials of life. 92 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 6: You see, you may be in a trial, You may 93 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 6: be in a difficulty. You may have lost a loved one. 94 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 6: You may have a child who is who is wayward 95 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 6: or far off, and you feel sorrow, but do you 96 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 6: know on the other side of that sorrow, parallel with 97 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 6: that is joy. It's the fruit of joy that you 98 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 6: can eat from and it causes you to be strong, 99 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 6: and it causes you to stand firm, and it causes 100 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 6: you to overcome. And that's why joy is so important. 101 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 6: In fact, the Israelites, when God brought them out of 102 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 6: captivity from the oppression of the Pharaoh, it says in 103 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 6: scripture that he brought them out with joy and led 104 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 6: them forth in peace. 105 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 5: You see, I believe what he. 106 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 6: Was showing us was if you're gonna come out of 107 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 6: these dark places, if you're gonna stand under the trials 108 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 6: of life, you're gonna have to come out with joy. 109 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 5: You're gonna have. 110 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 6: To use the joy to get you out of captivity, 111 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 6: to get you out of those anxious thoughts, to get 112 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 6: you out of that defeat and discouragement. Joy is the 113 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 6: key of coming out. Joy is your key, and it's 114 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 6: inside of you. But it's like anything else, you have 115 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 6: to tap into it, you have to develop it, you 116 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 6: have to use it. The Bible says, in this world 117 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 6: you're gonna have troubles. Jesus said that he wasn't promising 118 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 6: us that we weren't gonna have troubles. 119 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 5: But you know what he said about those troubles. He says, 120 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 5: here's the key. Be of good cheer. 121 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 6: Be of good cheer because I have overcome the world. 122 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 6: Be of good cheer, for I have overcome. You know 123 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 6: what he's saying. He's saying, brighten up, Brighten your face up. 124 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 6: One scripture says, rejoice in the Lord. And again I 125 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 6: say rejoice. Rejoice means to brighten you. See there's a 126 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 6: light on the inside of you, but you've got to 127 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 6: flip it on. 128 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 5: And the key to joy is this. 129 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 6: I really believe this, because some people just seem to 130 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 6: have a different personality. They can just be more joyous, 131 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 6: where some people maybe a little melancholy and they have 132 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 6: to work on this. But the truth is, in a trial, 133 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 6: we all need this joy. 134 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 5: We all need it, so we must develop it. 135 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 6: Listen, I didn't take my lemon tree and put it 136 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 6: in the ground. As soon as I needed lemons. I 137 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 6: put it in the ground, I cultivated it. I did 138 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 6: what it took so the lemons would come out. Then 139 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 6: I could take them. I could use them. 140 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 5: And see, when you need joy, you can't try to 141 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 5: cultivate it right away. 142 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 6: You have to know how to tap into it. The 143 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 6: fruit has to already be there, Okay. So I think 144 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 6: every day we have to practice joy. We have to 145 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 6: laugh in the face of adversity. We have to smile 146 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 6: when there's nothing to smile about. You know, I was 147 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 6: talking to a friend of mine the other day, and 148 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 6: she's been very discouraged. 149 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 5: She's been very down. 150 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 6: She's having some difficulties with her daughter and is going 151 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 6: through a divorce. 152 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 5: And she has a young child. 153 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 6: And you know, as a mother in here, when your 154 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 6: child's not doing good, it's hard for you to do good, right, 155 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 6: I mean, you just worry. And I've watched her just 156 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 6: get more discouraged and more discouraged, and now I see 157 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 6: her health is being jeopardized, and because anxiety and stress 158 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 6: will jeopardize our physical be and so I begin to 159 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 6: talk to her the other day because I thought, you 160 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 6: know what I've just watched day after day after day. 161 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 5: You know, I just want to encourage her. 162 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 6: So uh, she we we've been friends forever, I worked 163 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 6: with her forever. We really love each other, so she 164 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 6: she knows me pretty well. But I walked in and 165 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 6: I just started deciding that I was just gonna make 166 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 6: her laugh, you know, I was just gonna bring the 167 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 6: joy up in her. And so I was like, hey, 168 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 6: can I see your teeth? 169 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 5: She thought, what. The next thing, I know, I start 170 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 5: seeing a little bit of her teeth, and I. 171 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 6: Said, oh man, your teeth are beautiful. Look at your smile. 172 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 6: I haven't seen you smile in a long time. And 173 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 6: so I just start laughing and cracking up.
