KNEES AND HEART
“But he giveth more grace.
Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the
humble.”
James 4:6
The Bible says that we are to bow our knees before God when we pray.
However, if we are just bowing our knees and not our hearts, it is in
vain.
When we come to God in prayer we need to come with our hearts lifted up in
joy and praise. Yes, we might be going through devastating heartache
and circumstances but if we really have the Joy of the Lord in our hearts,
satan can not get the victory over us.
The Bible says that the Joy of the Lord is our strength. There is
nothing that you and I can do to generate that Joy. It is Jesus
living in us Who is the Joy that flows from our hearts.
I was heavy hearted last night about something that I had heard and for a
while I was really down. Then I started singing to Jesus and telling
Him how much I love Him. I started laughing out loud because satan
can not win the war because he is already defeated through the Precious
Blood of Jesus. We may let satan win a battle but he will never win
the war.
I urge you to let the Joy of Jesus in you overflow onto all you come in
contact with and watch how Jesus will heal broken hearts and lives.
