John 15:11 (KJV)
These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
There’s a common expression that says, "Hurting people hurt people." The flipside of this is also true: joyful people make people joyful! Joy is God’s perfect will for your life. He’s given you joy that isn’t dependent on the happenings around you; joy that flows from your spirit and rubs off on everyone around you.
Now notice today’s verse says: "… that your joy might be full.” This implies that there is a joy that is not full. It’s possible to have a form of joy in you but it is not the same as what the scripture above describes. A sad fact is that some Christians are depressed all the time because they’re operating at only a small fraction of joy. Today they’re full of joy, tomorrow they’re crying a river. The Word of God has been given to you so that your joy is at full capacity at all times!
When things get tough, instead of wallowing in self-pity, declare, “I refuse to be confused and depressed! I have full joy and victory after victory. The greater One lives in me! His joy is my strength, and I prevail gloriously in Jesus' Name."
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My life radiates joy! I prophesy that everyone I encounter today shall experience FULL JOY in the Lord! Hallelujah!
