God wants you to be in a good mood.
If the Spirit is in you, you should radiate positivity.
Jesus came into the world to affect the collective mood.
Joy to the world, the Lord has come, let Earth receive it's King.
vs 3 of Joy to the World
- Genesis 3 - the Curse
He comes to make his blessings flow
The shepherds returned praising God.
Angels - Always happy
- singing the announcement of Jesus' birth.
Luke 1:41
Unborn John joyed to be in the presence of Jesus
Herod lived his life in imagined threat and grumpiness
Being critical of oneself
- Anxious mulling instead of joyeous giving.
Thank the Lord - His mercies are new every day.
Long lay the world in sin and ever pining
Till He appeared and soul felt its worth.
The great value God sees in you.
Hebrews 4:3
The Israelites fear prevented their entry into the Promised Land.
Come Thou long expected Jesus born to save
Worship Jesus in your problems
Joseph - Mary was pregnant!
Mary - Pregnant out of wedlock
Jesus - Herod trying to kill him.
James 1:2
When problems come - say 'Problem! I consider it all joy in Jesus' Name!'
Jesus has overcome death.
O Little town of Bethlehem
