THE KEY TO ETERNAL JOY #1377/ WITH DR GEORGE WATKINS

THE KEY TO ETERNAL JOY

We used to sing a song in the church: "It is joy unspeakable and full of glory, and the half has never yet been told." And another song was:
"Joy bells, ringing in my heart, Joy bells, ringing in my heart,
Take the savior here below with you everywhere you go,
You will have the joy-bells ringing in your heart,"
Joy and a life of peace have always been the theme of the Christian message, as well as the lifestyle of a believer in Jesus Christ. That's one of the reasons we sing about it and teach it from the word of God.
So, what is the key to eternal joy? How do I, as a believer in Jesus Christ, maintain a lifestyle that is void of depression, fear, and downright unbelief?
The Scriptures tell us that in the presence of the Lord, there is fullness of joy and that his right hand pleasures forever more. ( Ps 16:11)
It's my experience that you can't dwell in depression and be in faith at the same time. The scriptures tell us bitter and sweet water can't flow from the same well.
I also know that if I am in the presence of the Lord, depression can't stay with me because, in his presence, there is fullness of joy.
So, how do I enter his presence?
Psalms 100:4 gives us a clear diagram of the doorway into his presence. I like what it says in the Passion Bible.
"You can pass through his open gates with the password of praise.
Come right into his presents with Thanksgiving.
Come, bring your thank offering to him and affectionately. Praise His beautiful name.!
How much do we praise him? And for what do we praise him?
First, in Thessalonians 5:18, in everything, give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus."
So there you go. Praise and worship God all the time for everything.
Enjoy the journey.
