Rom 14:17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and

drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the

Holy Spirit.

● The world needs to be taught to receive Jesus

● The church needs to be taught to receive the Holy

Spirit

Acts 13:52 And the disciples were filled with joy and

with the Holy Spirit.

1Cor 2:4-5 And my speech and my preaching were not

with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in

demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your

faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the

power of God.

We will not be frozen out by formality, we will not be

scared out by fanaticism.

Psalm 100:1 Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you

lands! 2 Serve the LORD with gladness; Come before His

presence with singing.

● I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle Psalm 27

● Sacrifice is an act of giving up something valued

for the sake of something else regarded as more

important or worthy.

CS Lewis said “Joy is the serious business of heaven”

Joy is a demonstration of:

● The triumph of Christ

● Satan is defeated

● Your Father is greater than all

Acts 26:2 “I think myself happy”

● He could have said:

○ “I am a lonely man”

○ “I am a broken man”

○ “I am a tired man”

● I’m standing in the place that Jesus said I would be

20 years ago, witnessing to the most important

people in the Roman Empire that Jesus is Lord!!

Man couldn’t stop me, the devil couldn’t stop me,

shipwrecks can’t stop me.

You’re better looking when you’re happy...some of you

should consider that.

Really smart people at ORU did a study and found that

chemicals and endorphins are released when you

laugh...voluntarily or involuntarily.

192 times NKJV we see the word joy 127OT 65NT

Joy is accompanied with:

● Singing - a bunch

● Shouting - a bunch

● Dancing - 1 Chron 15

● Giving - 1 Chron 29

● Celebrating - Ezra 6

● Noise - Their joy could be heard afar off Neh 12

● “See his face of joy” Job 33

● Laughter - Psalm 126

● Leaping - Luke 1

● Rejoicing - a bunch

Your demonstration can be out of:

● Appreciation

○ Psalm 150:2 Praise Him for His mighty acts;

Praise Him according to His excellent

greatness!

● Expectation

○ Josh 6:16 And the seventh time it happened,

when the priests blew the trumpets, that

Joshua said to the people: “Shout, for the

LORD has given you the city!

● Desperation

○ 2 Chron 20
