Joy Culture - Part 1 - Pastor Ayo Ajani

Satan is aware that he cannot defeat you; the new creation in Christ Jesus is undefeatable!

What he does is orchestrate situations that makes you a weapon against yourself. For example, he gets you to begin to speak negativity; he gets you to say what he wants you to say. How does he do it? He attacks your most potent weapon of victory.

The first thing he goes for is the word of God that has been quickened to you in a bid to attack your faith (Genesis 3:1; Matthew 4:6).

The second thing he wants to do is get you into offense (James 3:16). It's never about you or the offender. Satan orchestrates that offensive situation to get to your weapon of victory.

The third thing Satan wants to do is bring you to the point of hopelessness. Satan is after your hope; he'll do all he can to get you to the point of hopelessness. Hope is that confident expectancy for the fulfillment of a thing.

Satan will barrage you to a point where you no longer have an emotional connection with the Word (Philippians 1:28).

One major force that God has given us to keep us believing is the force of joy. Joy is not an emotion; it is the protocol of God's kingdom. It is the only way you can receive anything from God because nothing works without joy. Heaven conducts its most serious business in an atmosphere of joy. (Joel 1:12, Isaiah 12:6)

Some Important Thoughts Concerning Joy:
💥 Joy is the cause of good, not the effect of good.
💥 Joy is one of the forces of the human spirit through which the Holy Ghost exacts dominion on the earth.
💥 Joy is not happiness; it is one of the fruits of the Spirit that is developed and deployed in adversity and contrary situations.

The act of rejoicing is not joy in itself. You rejoice to release joy.
Cardinal Ways To Rejoice:
Singing
Laughter
Dancing

It's important to note that all these are not joy; instead, they're tools by which we open up our spirits to unleash the force of joy. Far more than prayer, a major part of prophecy fulfillment is rejoicing. The missing link to manifestation is joy.
