You cannot steal my Joy

[Mercy Oyekemisola]

You cannot steal my joy, I screamed.


Satan comes to kill, steal and destroy.
Never be ignorant of the devices of the devil.

The devil is always looking for a way to steal your joy and take away your peace and one of the devices he uses is bringing bad, ugly & negative thoughts into your mind.
...


Few days ago, I was having a happy and good moment. Some minutes later, satan brought some ugly thoughts to my mind. I  began to wallow in that thought. Then, I started losing my Joy and peace. 

Oh no, Holy Spirit, help me, I said. Thanks to the Holy Spirit that quickly snapped me out of the thought.

I began to make positive affirmations and confessions. I backed it up with the scriptures and in no time, my joy and peace was restored. It was so divine.

Blessed be to God for the gift of the Holy Spirit. For real, HE gives joy in chaos and HE gives peace that makes no sense.

Devil will always come, do not forget that. He's so jobless that the only job he has, is KILLING, STEALING and DESTROYING.

Never give him a chance. Do not allow him to steal away your joy and peace. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you whenever the devil brings that ugly thought, whatever the thought might be. Holy Spirit is always there for you.

I love the song FIRM FOUNDATION so much. The first two lines of verse one make a lot of sense to me because I know what it means to have joy in chaos and still have peace that makes no sense.

You see these two; Joy in chaos and peace that makes no sense, you can't get it anywhere, trust me. You can only get it from above. It is so divine.



Firm foundation by Maverick City Music

I've still got Joy in chaos
I've got peace that makes no sense
So I won't be going under
I'm not held by my own strength
'Cause I build my life on Jesus
He's never let me down
He's faithful in every season
So why would He fail now?
