Week 4: Distinguishing Marks
Joy is the best sign that Jesus is in the house!
Nehemiah 8: 10, Luke 13: 10-17, Acts 5
Why is joy the best sign of God’s presence? Joy is best because it means we are joined to God. It’s best because it can be expressed both outwardly and inwardly. What does joy do? Look at Luke and let’s see.
It gives us a spirit of strength that can overcome the spirit of weakness and infirmity in others. Joy can be communicated so the one who’s been bent together can be opened up, lifted up, and set free. Joy can touch the person and transfer its power to them. Joy can put to shame any other program or remedy that you can try. Do you need to be filled with the presence of Jesus? Do you need to be filled with joy?
How will your day be shaped by joy? Excuse me, how will you shape your day in joy?
