In this episode, “Fullness of Joy,” I share about how we can have joy in our ministry of motherhood and how God liberally supplies and fills us full of that joy as we place our trust in Him.
.
John 16:24 ESV - Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
.
In this verse, "full" is the Greek word plēroō which means "fill to the full, abound, liberally supply, full to the brim, nothing shall be wanting, render perfect, accomplish, bring into realization, to bring to pass." In other translations of this verse, it's written as "full, complete, fulfilled, overflowing, abundant, the fullest joy possible."
.
Also in this verse, "joy" is the Greek word chara which means "gladness, delight, cheerfulness." It's the same word as joy (the fruit of the spirit) in Galatians 5:22.
.
John 16:24 AMP - Until now you have not asked [the Father] for anything in My name; but now ask and keep on asking and you will receive, so that your joy may be full and complete.
.
John 16:24 TPT - Until now you’ve not been bold enough to ask the Father for a single thing in my name, but now you can ask, and keep on asking him! And you can be sure that you’ll receive what you ask for, and your joy will have no limits!
.
John 16:16-24 ESV
.
Romans 10:9-10 KJV - That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
.
Luke 2:40 KJV - And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled [plēroō] with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
.
Acts 2:1-4 KJV - And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled [plēroō] all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
.
Acts 13:52 KJV - And the disciples were filled [plēroō] with joy [chara], and with the Holy Ghost.
.
John 15:11 KJV - These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy [chara] might remain in you, and that your joy [chara] might be full [plēroō].
.
Romans 15:13 KJV - Now the God of hope fill [plēroō] you with all joy [chara] and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
.
Philippians 4:19 KJV - But my God shall supply [plēroō] all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
