The Bible speaks clearly that we need to rejoice always, under all circumstances. It’s not easy, but the moment we understand Heaven’s perspective, we can make the shift. Speaking these declarations aloud will take you into the journey of rejoicing always.
Any sorrow, sadness, logic and reasoning for dwelling on these will disappear. As we surrender to the reality that our God is Almighty, joy will increase. You will have gladness in place of sorrow. He who made you, loves you as the apple of His eye. (Read these in Deuteronomy 32:10, Psalm 17:8). Father God sent His only begotten son to die in the cross for making us free from every sorrow, sin, sickness, anxiety.
Father God wants you to experience the fullness of joy. Your life of eternity starts here now, the very moment you have Jesus as your savior. No reason for delaying your joy, which depends on Jesus being your Lord and Saviour. His work on the cross for you is a finished work – a work which is complete. Nothing more to be done. That is a GREAT reason to rejoice.
Start with these daily decorations. From now on you will experience victory, in 6 weeks when you do this daily, you will walk in greater joy, experience more victories. All the decorations are based on verses from the Bible. The reference verse is given within the bracket in case you wish to read that specific verse. Some verses are modified to be declarative in nature.
