Shout for Joy!
Some are wondering why they should shout for joy in the midst of calamities (Islamists, Jihadists, and the "demonics", natural disasters, etc). To shout because you have joy is NOT the same as to shout to have joy. The first is spiritual and the LORD's, while the other is carnal and self. These are two different experiential views: the first is the LORD's, while the other is the flesh. Therefore, to shout out for joy is NOT saying to shout to receive joy. It is to shout and release joy from within.
Seeing Through God's Eyes.
When we look through our own eyes into the world, most of the time all we see is doom and gloom. Our hearts become broken and we loose all sense of living. Some then resign themselves to seclusion, wanting nothing to do with the world or the mission field, and only a handful really remain excited about life. So then how does God see?
"He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." (Psa 126:6) ... The blessing is in the SEED! Whenever we sow seeds, we don't have any reason not to shout for joy! You must never stop sowing at all times (war, famine, persecutions, disease outbreak, natural disasters, etc) and season (cold or hot). The blessing of God to bless the whole world was in the Seed planted inside of Abraham.
To God, He had made a covenant with the earth for man's sake (Noah's sacrifice), after He smelled a sweet savour, and then said: "While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease." (Gen 8:22). The LORD said this in His Heart, and established it for as long as the earth remaineth, and here lies the first reason we should be joyful in that the earth will never stop yield fruits and more seeds as we sow. The only time the earth won't yield is when we are all gone from here, and no one to plant seeds!
Seed, why seed?
To clearly see as God see's, you must have a firm understanding of His covenant with man, animals and plants, and the earth itself. If you don't, you can't really shout for joy, instead you will be shouting to have joy. Noah's sacrificial seed, made God bless the earth for our sake's. It's now up to God to not fail us in this when we sow our precious seeds. But can God fail in His part of the covenant? NEVER FOREVER!!! This is the reason you MUST shout from within you for the joy of knowing nothing can change this over your life! "But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee." (Psa 5:11)....and this is the joy of knowing that makes us shout out loud!
To shout for joy and mean it, is the key to a life of abundance even in trials and persecution, because God WILL make all supplies available at all times. This is His covenant to us for sowing our precious seeds on the good ground. YOUR SEED ESTABLISHES YOUR PART OF THE COVENANT TO NEVER KNOW ANY LACK IN ANY SITUATION. Don't eat your precious seeds, put them in the good ground to commit God to do His part of plundering the kingdom of darkness, where riches are stored up for you and I.
Let me end this with a beautiful summary of this with today's facebook post from KCM:
"True, godly prosperity is the God-given ability through faith to meet every need: spirit, soul, body, financially and socially, in great abundance." -Kenneth Copeland.
