Joy of the Lord

😁 Joy of the Lord 😁

WoW, there sure has been a lot of Praise, Proclamation of Truth and Prayer that has gone forth in the fellowship this week. Thank you Jesus!

Last night I met with a group of young folks in my home as I do every other Thursday. They all come together because they want to know the Lord in a more intimate way. We eat together and fellowship, just desiring to follow Him more closely.

It’s a sacrifice to set aside the time every other week to meet together but they do it. And I always give them homework so it’s not a group that you can hide in. We also meet around a YouVersion devotional daily and I hope that one day those who have not accepted my invitations to participate with us will.

The Holy Spirit fell last night on these young folks and they will never be the same. Abby was miraculously set free and the change on her countenance from before the sisters prayed for her until after they returned from praying was dramatic. So dramatic that her brothers were greatly rejoicing in the Holy Spirit in a new manner themselves. As was everyone else. Thank you Father. This is a Testimony of the Greatness of God!

I’m sure that some of you were surprised when I began to ‘Raise a Hallelujah’ this past Sunday—as well as what He did in the midst of it. I was a little surprised myself as ‘Raise a Hallelujah’ was not on the song list.

On Saturday I attended a conference (via the net) and it sure appeared that Johnathan and Melissa had no intention of sharing the song ‘Raise a Hallelujah’. When they did I was immediately soaring into the Spirit realm as was everyone else in the conference, just like our meeting Sunday. Pretty cool.

We were already planning to introduce ‘Praise is a Highway’ to the fellowship last Sunday so I was planning on waiting until this Sunday to share ‘Raise a Hallelujah’’ I hadn’t even shared it with the minstrel team, just Debby.

On the way to the meeting Sunday I couldn't stop ‘Raising a Hallelujah’, it was just in my heart and on my lips. During our time of Praise on Sunday, when ‘Raise a Hallelujah’ began to arise, the Lord moved in a powerful manner. When that happens He’s planting Himself in a new way in our lives. You will never be the same, I will never be the same again. Every day can be like Sundays. The easiest way to grow is in His Presence and He’s always ready to come on in:

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’” — Revelation 3:20-22

The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord is my strength
In the darkness I’ll dance
In the shadows I’ll sing
The joy of the Lord is my strength

I Raise a Hallelujah
Heaven comes to fight for me!

❤️ Jesus! ❤️
