- An Exercise In Connecting With God - Joy #3
Step 1 - Prayer (Begin With Focus And Openness Towards God)
Prayer:
Dear Father God, please connect with us here as we seek in Your Word. Help us to show our Faith. Help us to find Your Peace and JOY. Be with us. Thank You. In Yeshua, Jesus's Name we pray. Amen
Step 2 - Read
Read the Scripture slowly. Be aware of any interesting words, phrases, or sentences. Read over The Scripture a second Time.
Read:
“But the fruit of the Spirit is Love, JOY, Peace, Longsuffering, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
Galatians 5:22-26
“And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of Great JOY which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”
Luke 2:9-12
“Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:4-7
“Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your JOY may be full. “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father. In that day you will ask in My Name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray The Father for you; for The Father Himself Loves You, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God.”
John 16:24-27
Step 3 - Reflect
Reflect on what stands out to you as you read. What is God trying to tell you?
Step 4 - Respond
Respond to The Word you just read. Talk to Your Father about how you feel. Tell Him what is on your mind. Tell him what is on your heart. As you go through your day today keep your eyes open to what you read, what you uncovered, or what you spoke to God about. You may find Him showing up in places you didn't expect.
God Bless Everyone. May The God Of All Good Things Give each and everyone of you PEACE and JOY.
