This Is Going To Be A Good Day...

THIS IS GOING TO BE A GOOD DAY! A REALLY, REALLY GOOD DAY

WHAT WOULD GOD SAY TO US TODAY IF WE WOULD LISTEN? Do we realize the church has quit practicing and has LOST SEVERAL SPIRITUAL ARTS WE NEED IN THE CHURCH TODAY. 1. We refuse to listen to God or to each other. 2. We have lost the art of daily Bible reading and personal devotions and prayer. Do we sing more than we pray? 3. VISION, THE BLIND SEEMS TO LEAD THE BLIND, and we all fall in the ditch.

1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

1 Corinthians 13:12 (MSG) We don't yet see things clearly. We're squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it

won't be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We'll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us!

1 Corinthians 13:12 (NLT2) Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.

ONE OF THE MOST MISS QUOTED VERSES OF THE BIBLE… WE SAY IT SAYS: WITHOUT A VISION THE PEOPLE WILL PERISH. NOT SO…

Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Proverbs 29:18 (MSG) If people can't see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves; But when they attend to what he reveals, they are most blessed.

Proverbs 29:18 (NLT2) When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is joyful.

SORRY CHARLIE… THAT POOR OLD TUNA WAS REJECTED SO MANY TIMES… BUT HE WAS A GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT --- REJECTED, REJECTED, REJECTED… WE FAIL TO REALIZEGOD HAS A PLAN.

THE PLAN IS THAT WE ARE FULL OF JOY.

John 16:24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

GOD’S DESIGN FOR YOU AND ME IS THAT WE ALL DESIGNED TO BE FULL OF JOY… SO FULL THAT WE BUBBLE OVER… MY CUP OVER FLOWS AND FILLS MY SAUCER.

1 John 1:4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A CORVETTE IN A MUD BOGG? IT WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR THAT… NOR ARE YOU DESIGNED TO OPERATE IN FEAR, BITTERNESS, WORRY, REVENGE AND HATRED. JOY! JOY!

2 John 1:12 Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.

YOUR ENEMY IS OUT TO STEAL, KILL AND DESTROY YOUR JOY. HEAR ME, MY FRIEND… TO BE SUCCESSFUL WE MUST LEARN TO OPERATE DAILY IN JOY…

John 15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

LIFE HAS WHIPPED US! THERE IS NOTHING LEFT BUT DEFEAT… WILL WE ALLOW THIS CORONAVIRUS STEAL OUR JOY AND BREAK OUR BACKS? THERE WAS AN OLD PREACHER NAMED NEHEMIAH. ISRAEL WAS IN GREAT DISTRESS, THERE WAS NO HOPE, NOTHING, ZERO, NADA, ZILCH…

Nehemiah 8:10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.

TODAY is a sacred day before our Lord. Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the LORD is your strength!”

COVID-19--- CORONAVIRUS=== You cannot STEAL OR ROB ME FROM THE JOY OF THE LORD… The gates of Hell nor COVID 19 CAN NOT HINDER THE WORK OF THE LORD.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A GOOD DAY, A VERY, VERY GOOD DAY.

There was this lady that had seriously battled cancer several years ago. Life had stolen her joy. The doctor’s appointments. The medical test, the insurance companies. She was so physically weak she could hardly stand. Her mental stability wavered.

One day she was reading her Bible JOHN 14:1, THE IMPERATIVE COMMAND: LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED AND SHE SAID I NEED A NEW ATTITUDE. SGE DECIDED STARTING IMMEDIATELY: “I AM GOING TO HAVE A GOOD DAY! A REALLY, REALLY GOOD DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.”

She went to bed that night singing and praising God and counting her blessings. She had sweet dreams all night. She got up and said: “I AM GOING TO HAVE A GOOD DAY! A REALLY, REALLY GOOD DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.” She looked in the mirror and saw that the radiation and chemo had destroyed her looks: She said: I don’t care: “I AM GOING TO HAVE A GOOD DAY! A REALLY, REALLY GOOD DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.”
