Call UsBe Known For Unlimited Joy – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional May 9th
(Be Exuberant And Full Of Joy All The Time)
TO THE BIBLE: John 16:24 TPT
“Until now you’ve not been bold enough to ask the Father for a single thing in my name, but now you can ask, and keep on asking him! And you can be sure that you’ll receive what you ask for, and your joy will have no limits!”
LET’S TALK
Wow! These words from the Lord reveal His heart and desire for us: He wants your joy to be unlimited and full always! That’s because being joyful is very important in the Kingdom of God.
The Bible says, “A joyful, cheerful heart brings healing to both body and soul…” (Proverbs 17:22 TPT). Therefore, it makes no difference what happens around you or the situations you face; exude joy and rejoice evermore.
The beautiful part is that our joy is born of the Holy Spirit and, therefore, independent of circumstances: “…The kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Romans 14:17).
We’re full of joy even in the face of adversity and persecution: “…When it seems as though you are facing nothing but difficulties, see it as an invaluable opportunity to experience the greatest joy that you can!” (James 1:2 TPT).
That means there’s no more room for frustration, anger, sadness, or bitterness in your life. Let only the joy of the Lord be expressed and manifested through you.
When others get to meet you, they should immediately note your unlimited joy—joy unspeakable and full of glory.
The Bible tells us about the children of Israel that their joy was heard afar off as they offered great sacrifices and rejoiced after rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem: “Also that day they offered great sacrifices and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; the women also and the children rejoiced.
The joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off” (Nehemiah 12:43 AMPC). Their joy and rejoicing were heard far away! What do you think?
This tells us that joy is expressive. Laughter is an expression of joy. Praising God—being exultant and exuberant with praise to Him—is an expression of joy. Singing songs of praise in thanksgiving is an expression of joy.
Give no place to “gloom and doom” in your life. In spite of the terrible things happening in the world today, be full of joy every day. Generate and release joy and excitement from inside you, today and always.

Speak:
I’m exuberant with praise, expressing joy unspeakable and full of glory, because the joy of the Lord is my strength. My joy is independent of circumstances; it comes from my inner man and transcends physical circumstances. Glory to God!
