Are You Sad Or Depressed?

Your new life of freedom is maintained by 'JOY', 'JOY' of The LORD, the 'JOY' of HIS Salvation in you.  It is the 'JOY' of The LORD that is your STRENGTH according to Nehemiah 8:10.  This word STRENGTH means, "a place of safety, protection, refuge and stronghold from GOD to you."  It also depicts Healing Heath to the child of GOD, who lives in the 'JOY' of The LORD!  You ask; "can it be this easy?"  Yes, there is no mystery about the 'JOY' of The LORD, it just that the devil has kept you away from the truth for far to long now!  Get your 'JOY' ON!  

Praise, walk, talk, sing, clap, dance, stand, lay down, sit and yell if you want to that from this day on; "I choose to live in the 'JOY' of The LORD."

A few months ago I headed off to meet a couple of Pastors for lunch.  I happen to live about 45 minutes from the place where we were to meet.  When I pulled out of my driveway, I put my favorite 'JOY' Song on my car stereo and made it repeat all the way to my destination.  When I arrived, the Pastors who were to meet me were not there yet, so I just kept repeating my 'JOY' Song for another 25 minutes or more.  I did not keep track of the number of times the song played from my drive way to the moment they pulled up to meet with me.

Over an hour had gone by and I kept playing my 'JOY' Song over and over again. Even though I was parked against the curb, many people starred into my car windows as my car rocked in every direction, from side to side as I was literally dancing in the drivers seat.  

This may sound too radical for you, but to the measure that you walk in your new freedom, will be the power of the 'JOY' of The LORD in your life.

FATHER GOD, YOU sent YOUR ONLY SON, JESUS CHRIST to die for my sins on a cross.  I believe in HIS Name and what HE did for me by saving my soul, I also now understand and confess that HIS death also set me free from sadness and despair.  You are the only ONE who should control my life, the life you have given me to help others escape the evil of this World. Now that YOU have freed me from sadness and depression, please use me to help others like the way I used to be, and help them find and run to the door of freedom with JESUS!  I confess, FATHER, YOU have made me free!  I am free!  Free to live in the 'JOY' of The LORD!

In JESUS Name, AMEN.
