When you look across the body of Christ today, one would have to admit that across the board, you do not see "Joy" as being one of the biggest and most outspoken characteristics within it. Why???? In our new covenant through Jesus we have an overflowing, neverending, heavenly-holy, Joy that no one else gets to have!!! But for some reason, people are afraid to be happy and joyful. Instead, I see absolutely pre-meditated serious and sterness and even depression that people call "being Holy". We thank God for his new covenant and freedom and grace, but dont live in it, we would rather live in old covenant curses and laws rather than new covenant blessings and free promises!!! We as humans pretty much complicate everything we touch by relying on our own understanding!! Jesus became the curse to take away ALL curses and restored to us believers the original realities from the very beginning!!! This is the will of God for all children!!The kingdom is made of these three things acording to scriptures, peace, righteousness, and JOY in the holy ghost!!! Two thirds of the kingdom is happiness!!!!! Peace and JOY in the Holy Ghost!!!! the other part is righteousness (which is not by our doings at all, since christ made us righteous) so the entire kingdom being manifest on earth is basically not off our works(your efforts are not necessary) but off our peace and joy!!! so... Dont worry, BE HAPPY!!! CELEBRATE THE BLISS OF HEAVEN!! DRINK BY FAITH THE NEW WINE OF GODS LOVE!!!!!! GULP! GULP! GULP!!!!!! BAMMM!!! I wanna also share some stuff from the heart of John Crowder (a revivalist) with you guys!!! ( You wre created for pleasure, and nothing else will do. There is a yearning inside every one of you to know the source of pleasure, who is ecstacy incarnate. At the core of all mankind, is a desperate craving formed by God himself which only He can satisfy!! There is a desperation inside that will settle for nothing less, because everything else is shakable,un reliable, and hollow. All else is "vanity of vanities". Today the world is in birth pangs, being shaken from a natural perception of things observable and awakened to a heightened awareness of things unseen. We are now being awakened to the GLORY REALM- the atmosphere of God's tangible, manifest presence. The spiritual realm of Heaven is a GREATER reality than the known, material, physical universe. One might say it is a meta-reality, for the spiritual always affects and overrides the physical.(I wish Christians would believe this truth) Things which are shifted in the Spirit bring direct consequence to the natural realm. these are exciting times as God shifts our concept of realit. He is preparing us for a phoenomenal-angelic encounters,visitations of jesus,bizzare miracles,and multitudes of souls coming into the kingdom. the thing which most needs shifting today is US! God will not have an end time church that is depressed,cynical,doubting,religious,or powerless. He will have a church that lives and breathes from a heavenly vantage point, even while their feet still touch the earth. The church will be filled with JOY,Faith,Intimacy,and Power like no previous generation!!! In this day God will not have a "purpose" driven church, but He will have for himself a "SPIRIT" driven church- an intimate bride who is moved and motivated by the cloud of His presence. he is looking for lovers, not do-gooders. A people who are enraptured by His fragrance and lost in the eternal weight of His GOODNESS!!!!!! Like Adam, you were created to experience heaven and earth simultaneously. God made heaven and earth together in the beginning so that we would explore them both in interwoven harmony!! On the cross the veil of Christs flesh was torn reopeniong the heavens and reversing the curse that was on humanity. At the cross, the pleasures of Eden were restored to us. The lifestyle of transcendance, between heaven and earth, is the very inheritance for which jacob wrestled the angel. Jesus is our promised land. he is the land of inheritance flowing with milk and honey. This land is a free gift of grace, but it must be taken and occupied. This is the way of the realm of the Spirit. "the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence but the violent take it by force" Even taking the kingdom is a walk of grace. so lets explore and learn the original paths of eden. nothing more than the BLISS of god. lets get into the heavenlies and not complicate it any more. Let your mind take you there, since its now Christs mind!!!! Hang out with jesus, fell the acceptance and joy of Papa's goodness!!!!!! watch the angels, talk to people, hang out, Study.. then do all of it on earth and let this shape your life in accordance to the word of god. Drink the new wine. the way we drink the new wine is simple, We drink by faith. this is an ecstatic journey of joy and love for and from God. The only way is through Christ, so lets go and allow heaven to shape us and let the fire of passion in our own secret garden ignite a mighty wildfire of revival in the nations today!!!!!!
