IMPARTATION FOR INTACT JOY

1 Peter 1:8

Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy.

EXALTATION

This is our year of divine rising.

This is our month of favor and fulfillment.

What is joy?

Joy is listed as part of the fruit of the spirit

Joy is an expression of the power and presence of God in any situation.

It is the joy of the lord embedded in the heart of David that pushed him to the point of saying even though I walk through the valley I will fear no evil.

His faith in God and the assurance of his presence gives him a joy that cannot be explained.

Joy is therefore sustained by faith.

Joy is something we have not something we feel.

Happiness is a feeling and joy is an inheritance, a gift from God

When you have joy, nothing can phase you.

For example, I was driving one of our trucks one day, and I parked in front of a store in effort to make my delivery to a store, I had to block parked cars.

The owner of one of the parked cars came out and as she was getting ready to leave she saw me and started yelling and throwing insult at me. Telling me to move the truck otherwise she’s going to call the owner of the company and report me.

Naturally I should be upset and respond back to her with the same energy but I had a joy in me because I knew something she didn’t know. I have something she didn’t have. The boss she intended on calling was me. From looking at me she concluded that there was no way I could be the owner of the truck.

So, no matter what she did and said, my joy was intact.

My business wasn’t severed with my client.

There was no boss to report me to – so no fear of losing my job

She took down the number on the truck as I drove away smiling.

My joy was intact!!!

When you have God and the assurance of his presence, nothing can mess with you joy.

Last time we gathered we prayed concerning our joy being made full.

Today the lord is leading us to pray concerning INTACT JOY.

When the enemy can say or do something and it affects your joy, your joy is not yet intact.

When rumors, insults and assumptions can ruin your day, your joy is not yet intact.

When situations and circumstances have enough power to steal your joy, then your joy is not yet intact.

We must come to the point where our joy and I mean true joy is not dependent on any external factor.

Reverend Shirley Caesar said, and I quote” This joy I have, the world did not give it to me, the world cannot take it from me.”

The bible said in Jude 1:24

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,

My prayer is that in this year of divine rising and prophetic month of favor and fulfillment, the lord with grant us exceeding joy in the name of Jesus. Joy unspeakable, joy overflow, in our marriages, ministries, businesses, over every area of our lives in Jesus’ name!

POWER PRAYER

1. Lord empower me to walk in the assurance of my Joy in you not in the world or any external factor but only in you in the name of Jesus- Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. – Romans 15:13

2. Every arrow targeted at my joy this year and beyond backfire by force in the name of Jesus – peradventure the devil is after your joy and he know joy is birth by faith, he knows joy produces positivity and if you stay to joyful and positive for too long you will come out of that situation, so he attacks your joy. Pray now with understanding.

3. Every agenda of the enemy to turn our dancing into mourning or my gladness into sadness, I command such agenda destroyed in the name of Jesus - You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy, - Psalm 30:11

4. From this day forward, I decree and declare nothing shall have the power to take my joy, my joy is intact in the lord in the name of Jesus - No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.”- John 10:18

5. Any junction of my life where the enemy is waiting to cause me pain and sorrow, I dispatch the angels of heaven to go ahead and stand in the gap for me in the name of Jesus - You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. – Genesis 50:20

MSG TRANSLATION Don't you see, you planned evil against me, but God used those same plans for my good

6. this year, this season, I will sing a new song and the devil will not take my joy in the name of Jesus, my joy will overflow, my mouth will be filled with laughter, I will sing, I will dance in the name of Jesus. for our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name - Psalm 33:21

7. Lord, as the heavens are opened, I receive power from above in the name of Jesus! power to trample upon serpent and scorpion, power to walk in the supernatural.

ACT 1:8

But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
