Just For Joy - Perpetual Real Joy, Gladness, and Happiness

Many try to separate joy, from happiness. I think that's a mistake and why many don't experience a continual, perpetually increasing joy, gladness and happiness.

Joy is a fruit of the Spirit of Christ, and gladness and happiness are products of joy. In the presence of God's Spirit is the FULLNESS of joy.

Psalms 16:11

You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for ever more.

We are to always remain in His presence. Though He is Omni-present, even in Hell itself, because of free choice, we can choose whether or not we allow our spirits be One, of, and drops of water of Water, and our souls and consciences dwell in Him.

Psalms 91:1 He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

When we freely choose to dwell, we then have the fullness of joy. And hear what it means to make this choice. Many think they have, but consider other scriptures that also result in a fullness of joy, and so they are the equivalent and how you know you are truly dwelling in His presence.

It is written about Jesus that He loved righteousness and hated iniquity or injustice, and therefore God anointed Him with the oil of gladness above all His equals.

Hebrews 1:9

You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

That word anointed is more than simply given. It means that gladness is actually rubbed into the skin, and now apart of Jesus even as one would rub in any lotion or oil, but this doesn't come off as long as you stay loving righteousness and hating iniquity.

We are no different than Jesus to God. We are sons, and joint heirs.

So, we see the importance of righteousness and justice in our ability to experience joy. There is an order, not that we are subject to time, but in a moment we get righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost, or presence of God, and that's the Kingdom or ability to reign.

Romans 14:17

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Drop the first two; righteousness and peace, and joy will be intermittent or non existence. This is depression. This is when you can't figure out what the heck is going on, and why you're sad, when sometimes nothing has happened or you can't get over things.

Let us see some other scriptures about this:

Psalms 16:8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

Psalms 35:27

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yes, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

Psalms 32:11

Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, you righteous: and shout for joy, all you that are upright in heart.

So, in conclusion, real joy, gladness and happiness comes from righteousness and treating others justly, loving justice and fairness for all above all, sometimes seemingly to your own detriment. And also, we do all the above by remaining in the presence of God. It is important to know that it matters not if the other party is or would do injustice to you. We must do what is right. That leads to joy, and joy will cause you to overcome in justice, and keep morality and integrity, reign and win.

Proverbs 24:17

Rejoice not when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles:

Proverbs 24:18

Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

This last point is very key. Even if you classify some as enemies,the goal is to overcome them and slay, but be more than a victor, but then include as they desire because they see something differently, and reconciliation. Peace.

Remember. The goal is to turn the unjust into wanting to be just; valuing it, and hungering and thirsting for righteousness, morality, and fairness (I am aware that some do define differently), which is beneficial to all of society.

You must be just for joy. You cant be just unless you know what is right and then do it.

Meditate. Study. Shew. Joy like a river, now.
