Having a perspective of joy has very special benefits. One of such benefits is that joy helps the human mind to develop staying power, stamina, strength, and stickability in the face of contrary winds and contradictory circumstances. If there's anything that we must master, it is the ability to stand firm, holding out the truth of God's word, with a joy-laden disposition.

Joy represents the presence of faith. It is easy to stay with what God has promised when you develop an attitude of joy.  Believing God's word becomes tangible when joy leads our faith demonstrations and declarations. Joy helps the believer to develop staying power- spine. It is harder to defeat a person who has refused to give up and who has remained joyful in the process. 

God wants you to hold out His perspective in life and have the boldness to not quit until you see the end of your faith.

Joy is in the programming of the new birth. As believers in Christ Jesus, joy is our default setting. Joy is not only how we draw from salvation, it is how we live and demonstrate the life of God that has been revealed to us in Christ Jesus. Your DNA determines and dictates your thoughts, emotions, and health and so since joy is the believer’s DNA, we think thoughts leaning toward joy and peace. Joy is our default response to life's events and circumstances.

The Father's desire is for us as His children to come into an experiential knowledge of joy and release joy from our Spirits into our souls and bodies. When circumstances seem to be adverse and turning against us, we can choose to experience the beautiful emotion of joy, released from our Spirit, drowning every negative emotion.

This teaching episode is designed to let you in on the truth about the programing of the believer that is joy-laden.

Imagine that you assume a disposition of joy whenever you go through trials and tribulations. Imagine that you consider every challenge to be an opportunity to demonstrate God's joy. Joy is of the Holy Spirit and God wants you to learn how to release joy, especially when you go through trials and temptations.

Not many people have been able to stay with God's perspective about their lives, especially when they go through a challenge in life. Not many people have been able to maintain a disposition of joy in the midst of unfavorable circumstances. Not many people have mastered the practice of taking up a perspective of joy in their life's journey. Too many times, people are willing to throw in the towel in the face of challenges. God however would love you to use every opportunity that a trial presents as an occasion for releasing joy.

In this Series, we will sit around this truth, exploring the many facets of beauty and progress that Joy presents when we learn to take every occasion as an opportunity to release joy.
