God rejoices over us with delight and we have to live a life of rejoicing, not focusing on doing the right thing but living in your inheritance. We need to repent of ‘woe is me’ as we get caught up in the difficulty of the task instead of looking at the source who can help us with the task.

We need to be dogmatic against the kingdom of darkness as God says He is the kingdom of light. Refuse to dialogue with the lie and battle against every area of darkness in our lives. Deception & darkness go hand in hand and we need to be able to identify the wolves who want to keep you in the darkness.

God is sending a revelation of His light into the Christian church. Jesus taught us to walk & fellowship in the light.

The spirit of religion forbids the joy of the Lord and focuses on the negative. Fill yourself with the word and truth of the bible. Say to yourself: ‘I am not going to allow the darkness to penetrate me’. God wants you to recognize that you have an authority over lies and darkness.

The Lord wants to expose the lies that intimidate you, stop you and give you a new story line for your life which will cause you to change and those around you will have to change too.

The joy of the Lord reacts to faith. Faith and joy operate together and God gives life and faith through His word. Faith comes by the word of God.
