We have been admonished by Jesus in John 16:33: that in Him we have peace.

The Spirit of JOY is something much more important. It is an inner strength that is attached to Thanksgiving! If we are Thankful, it will release God’s Joy within us.

The fruit of love is see in the Apostle Paul, as his desire is: "That Christ be magnified in my body whether it be by life, or by death."

Be encouraged as the New Year unfolds, practice His way: Embrace the Spirit of Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance: Let us “Practice” together the Fruit of the Spirit of God, and see if He don’t just pour out His Presence and His Blessings upon us! Let us Practice together, His Ways.

Oh, Church, just as we must go the distance for Him, the enemy of our souls seeks to vex His people. We must press for the prize that is set before us.

His thoughts toward us is: that we might have peace and an expected end.

He is concerned about our illness, the sickness, the physical things that afflict our bodies. He has healed our spirits for the wounds of the past. He has brought great JOY to be our portion in the land of the living.

As we celebrate the third week in Advent, we remember the JOY that surrounds the Lord Jesus' life.

“The Healer Has Come!” Not only is He the Healer of our Soul, but He is also the Healer of our Spirit.

This Advent season we speak of Jesus as the healer. First of all, He is the healer of our souls.
