Jesus PROMISED to RESET our MIND

Just ask!

"and that you be renewed IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND." Ephesians 4:23

In PRAYER is where you find the love OF the TRUTH, and PRAYER is the only place where you will find the unstoppable love FOR the TRUTH. This love is given to those who seek HIM in the SECRET PLACE of PRAYER, Prayer that never stops.

"For the sorrow that is ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD PRODUCES a repentance without regret, LEADING TO SALVATION, but the sorrow of the world produces death." 2 Corinthians 7:10

and,

"with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God MAY GRANT THEM REPENTANCE leading to THE KNOWLEDGE of THE TRUTH," 2 Timothy 2:25

Truth is SUPERNATURAL, a gift from God. JESUS IS TRUTH, and HE DWELLS WITHIN US and we now LACK NOTHING.

What is JOY?

JOY is a way of BEING in the NEW CREATION; JOY is having absolute confidence in GOD's LOVE FOR US. JOY is knowing that no matter what GOD LOVES US, and our JOY is confirmed in PRAYER as we WITNESS God’s love working in and through PRAYER.

"Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full." John 16:24

JOY is letting go of all concern in the presence of God, our Father, who already knows everything we need, want, and desire.

"Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know." Jeremiah 33:3

JOY is BELIEVING God IS LOVE, that HE LOVES US, is always for us, and wants to shower us with LOVE ALWAYS. He will protect us, and He walks WITH US through this life and all its trials and tribulations. JOY is knowing He NEVER LEAVES US.

"for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit." Romans 14:17

When PRAYER is JOY-FULL, FULL JOY is found in PRAYER

"Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Prayer is a state of JOY. Prayer is a supernatural act. Prayer is a supernatural place. Prayer is living “IN” and “FROM” the JOY of the LORD, given to us as a Grace gift.

"Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:4-7

Prayer is living from God’s Heart, His Will, in ETERNAL COMMUNION with Jesus, enjoying perfect PEACE with the Holy Spirit. Prayer is being ONE with the TRINITY. Prayer is being ministered to by the TRINITY.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls. As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries, seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow. It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which angels long to look. Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:3-16

PRAYER is supernatural JOY. Joy not of this world, but supernatural and from ABOVE but accessible at the THRONE of GRACE. JOY has a frequency, a rhythm, a beautiful sound, and a calm, peaceful cadence that is unique and unmistakable---there’s nothing like it.

"rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer," Romans 12:12

JOY supersedes mere human emotions and is well beyond any thought from man or wisdom from humanity.

"so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; JOYUSLY giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light." Colossians 1:10-12

We EXPERIENCE JOY; it is supernatural and above the natural (above feelings and emotions). You know when you are in GOD’s JOY, there is no denying it.

"These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full." John 15:11

JOY is KNOWING and TRUSTING God’s Grace for everything. JOY is knowing that we are SAVED by GRACE, and Grace is a free gift. We can’t earn or merit God’s Grace, but we can go boldly before HIS THRONE OF GRACE and be absolutely confident that we WILL receive Mercy and Help in our time of need.

"To those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust." 2 Peter 1:1b-4

JOY IS TRUSTING GOD ALONE and SHOUTING ABOUT IT in the Trials and Through the Tribulation!

Joy is when we place our total trust in HIM for every situation, good or bad, beautiful or ugly.

"make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose." Philippians 2:2

JOY is knowing that God never leaves us, not even for a second. Yet, God will allow us to hide from Him to practice free agency if we please. In reality, GOD NEVER LEAVES US, but we are allowed to think we can hide, that we can make it on our own, apart from God, which is true arrogance and insanity at the same time.

"Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." James 1:2-4
