John 15:11 (NKJV) “THESE THINGS I have spoken to you, that MY JOY may remain in you, and that YOUR JOY may be full.” Joy is a fruit of His nature, spiritual in its origin, a product of Heaven, but it still has to be yielded to. Remember, Ephesians tells us to put on our new man.

John 15:11 (NKJV) “THESE THINGS I have spoken to you, that MY JOY may remain in you, and that YOUR JOY may be full.”

When God Becomes the Source of Your Joy and Peace you have complete and total freedom. You no longer need certain outcomes or answered prayers to have joy and peace, You no longer have the pain of the ups and downs of having your joy in circumstances and outcomes. The joy of the Lord is something nobody and nothing can take from you once you have it. But the only way to truly experience it is to walk through the not having certain prayers answered and surrendering your desire to God, trusting Him through that and experiencing HIS peace and joy in the face of it. When you get everything you ever wanted in this world you never get to experience the gift of having God be your everything and having God be the true source of your joy and peace. That is the gift that comes from full and complete surrender of the outcome to God. Any blessings from Him and answered prayers from Him all become a bonus in life, but you're free from needing anything to give you joy and peace when God is truly your source for that. Today we cover how to get to that place and how to experience HIs true freedom.

“One of the great pleasures of owning my own business has been building relationships with my team members.”Women consultants fall into different camps when building a team for their consulting businesses. Those who are doing everything themselves because they either believe they can't afford to hire team members or that no one else can do things as well as they can. “I'll figure it out” camp. And they probably can! Women are amazingly capable. They can multitask, are multi-passionate and multi-talented, and are also interested in learning and challenging themselves. But those ideas can keep us small, overworked, and frustrated.In today's episode, I'm sharing practical tips along with some philosophical points of view that can help you think better about building your team. People can be the most joyful or the most stressful parts of our businesses (and of our lives, btw). My intention today is to provide you with the most important principles to remember when building your team.Key Takeaways: 00:00 Intro02:50 Work in Your Joy & Genius Zone™04:33 Hire with Bench Depth06:19 The Tasks You Need to Delegate10:40 Who Do You Need on Your Team?14:15 Leader VS Manager: Which Are You?16:57 Hire a VA or an Expert?19:10 A Business Partner Is Not the Answer22:24 Why You Shouldn't Do It AllIf you're ready to make the people piece of your work energizing and fulfilling, take a listen to this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, available on your favorite podcast app and YouTube.

A lot of energy sensitive people right now are feeling the need to cocoon and go into hermit mode. We all come to points in our spiritual journey where it's time for a change we just may not know what it is yet. Moving through those shadow aspects of ourselves is what we need to do to step out into the light again.  Today we have Malena Crawford, a reinvention coach, with us, to share her expertise on how to take those first steps out of your shadow.  What Reinvention Is  Reinvention can look different for everyone. It can be from completely broken down to a chronic feeling of “stuckness”. Unfortunately the need to reinvent comes from times of crisis. We will reinvent ourselves hundreds of times in our life as we grow and evolve.  Steps To Reinvent Your Life  Reclaiming your life is a decision. Taking the opportunity to look at our shadow selves and learn how to embrace and integrate it. It's all about getting to know who you are and probably more importantly, who you're not.  How To Know It's Time To Reinvent Your Life  You know it's time when you begin looking at the places and situations in your life that aren't working. These are the areas that will give you the signals , and continue to give you signals. It's when we don't heed these nudges that they tend to get louder and demand our attention.  Simple Steps To Move Through Your Shadow  Probably, the most important thing is to get all those thoughts and feelings out of your body in some way. That may look like asking yourself tough questions.Malena shares some great examples of how this can be a good opportunity.  How To Connect With Your Joy Again  Being in tune and in balance with your whole self. Body, Mind, & Heart. Malena shares exactly what it looked like for her. Your Joy will always be in your past, you just need to find it again.  We hope your reinvention comes with as much ease and grace as possible.  Here's to staying Spiritual & Ambitious    LINKS:  Free Gift!

We glorify God by making disciples of all nations. ========== Connection Card https://istrouma.org/myinfo March 12, 2023 | Tim Keith John 15:1-8 ‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭1‬-‭8‬‬ “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. Every branch in me that does not produce fruit he removes, and he prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without me. If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown aside like a branch and he withers. They gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this: that you produce much fruit and prove to be my disciples. When Jesus says "Remain in Me" Who is Jesus talking to? “every branch in Me” v.2 What does He mean? Stay close to Me v.7 When do I remain in Jesus? Every Day Where do I remain in Jesus? Everywhere Why Remain in Jesus? ​* God's Blessing (v.2) ​* Be Fruitful (v.2 & v.5) ​* God's Glory (v.8) * Your Joy (v.11) How do I remain in Jesus? * Keep going back when you stray (John 21:7) * Keep reading His word and praying     (Istrouma.org: Devotion and Prayer Guide) * Remove Distractions Why do we spend so much time trying to grow fruit that isn't going to remain? Is your fruit going to remain? ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭22‬-‭23‬‬ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The law is not against such things. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭3‬:‭8‬‬ Therefore produce fruit consistent with repentance. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭3‬:‭3‬‬ But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

Your Joy no Man Taketh From You

How is God jealous for you today?We tend to think of jealousy as a momentary feeling, but the Bible says in Exodus that God's name is Jealous. He does not fluctuate. God's jealousy is not the same as human envy in which we covet what someone else has. He longs for you to worship Him and delight in His presence. He delights in you and He wants to give you the desires of your heart. He wants to give you Himself. The God of the universe wants YOU and He is jealous for you.We hope you are left encouraged and inspired to delight in the Lord and find joy that can only be found in Him today. He loves you more than you will ever be able to comprehend on this side of eternity.Episode Highlights: God's jealousyGod is yearning for youTrue joy is found in HimDelighting in the LordFind more on Mr. Pen products:Amazon.com : mr. pen storeInstagram: Mr. Pen (@gomr.pen) • Instagram photos and videosUse ABIDING10 at checkout for 10% off Mr. Pen products!Find More on Abiding Free:Instagram: @abidingfreeFollow us on FacebookCheck out our Website HEREContact: abidingfree@gmail.comGod is Jealous for Your Joy article*Disclosure: Some links are Amazon affiliate links and a small portion of your purchase will come back to us while your cost remains the same.

Episode summary: If we've lived long enough, many of us have gone through difficult friendships. Sometimes, we've endured friendships where we're just not appreciated as much as we give out and others seem to die way too early. Some of those relationships can be some of the most painful experiences that we go through. Join me for this replay of an author interview with Mary DeMuth about her book, 7 Deadly Friendships. Quotables from the Episode: There can be redemption in a relationship that's hard. No one should demand that you forgive on their timetable. If someone is really angry at me, I have prayed a lot, Lord, deliver them from their bitterness and give them the power to forgive me. Forgiveness doesn't mean reconciliation. I believe that life is, life really is boiled down to our relationships. If someone is bringing you down and it's affecting your relationship with God and your relationship with others, it's important to recognize that for the sake of your own soul.

Dr. Gibbs - How's Your Joy by West Coast Baptist College

Imagine God's Spirit flowing in and throughout your body like rivers of living water. That's the very image Jesus gives in John 7:38. Christians Meditation is a quiet time for you to re-integrate and re-calibrate your mind with your body. And re-integrate and re-calibrate your mind and body with God‘s presence with you and in you. Remember the quote from the apostle Paul in Acts 17:28 – In him you live and move and have your being.If your podcast app is set to skip the silent sections, disable that in your podcast app for this podcast.John 7:38-39 (NIV)“‘Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.' By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.”Jesus said something similar when he was speaking to the woman by the well…John 4:14 (NIV)“…The water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”Psalms 16:11 (ESV)“In your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”Imagine the fullness of joy being in the presence of God‘s glory and God‘s beauty and God‘s perfect love for you. Seeing the one who created this entire universe with your own eyes. Resurrected eyes in a resurrected body. Imagine this reality and feel it now into your body. The Bible's bigger story is that Joy is the ultimate experience when Heaven returns to earth when Jesus comes back — we will have resurrected bodies of glory and power and true spirituality and immortality and we will live in the amazing presence of God forever.Jesus said all of his teaching has Joy as its ultimate goal…John 15:11 (ESV)“These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.”That's why in John 17, the night Jesus was arrested, when he is praying for his disciples and he is summing up the purpose of his entire life on earth he says…John 17:13 (NIV)“…So that they may have the full measure of my joy within them.”In the final words of the epistle of Jude in the New Testament, Jude says that the ultimate ministry of Jesus in your life is…Jude 1:24 (ESV)“…To present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy.”Joy is the ultimate reward in the kingdom of heaven. The joy that comes from being fully in the presence of God.Infinite pleasures in the hand of the infinite God. So using your imagination, take his hand now as your greatest possession. Take his hand now as your security. Your calm confidence. Your peace. Your Joy. Feel this into your body.Even now, consciously knowing that you are in God's presence will begin to replace your worry and fear and anxiety and self-protective reflexes with his joy and the security of his presence. Use your biblically guided imagination to know and experience that he is at your right hand and you are at his right hand in Christ. Knowing right now in this moment that the forever God is your God forever and you are in his presence right now in this moment. He is the fullness of joy right now. In his hand is your greatest pleasure forever.So take hold of his hand right now in your imagination. Enjoy his presence right now and feel it into your body.What is it that you think you need right now that you don't really need? Let it go. It's just giving you anxiety and stress and anger. Let it go and take the better possession of God‘s hand. God‘s presence.Remind yourself that you are in the presence of the forever God and his presence is fullness of joy and pleasure forevermore. Forevermore. The forever God is forever more! More than whatever else you think you need to have to have joy. Imagine this. Feel this – sense this reality – into your body right now. And find rest in his presence. Joy in his presence.

What Happened to Your Joy? Randy Rice_ 01.03.21

This message is from Luke 1:26-38 and is titled, Where's Your Joy? Joy is a response to God's grace, God's message, and serving the Lord. You can

Today, we are studying the seventh chapter of 2 Corinthians. Paul went through a lot. He discussed how he had no rest. He was harassed at every turn-conflicts on the outside, fears within. How could Paul find joy amid his trials? Your Joy is not dependent on your circumstances.  Your joy comes from within, regardless of what is going on around you. The Joy of the Lord is a fruit that the Holy Spirit wants to cultivate in all our lives.  On this podcast, we go through the Bible one chapter at a time. I love to read the Bible out loud. Many years ago, after I had my last child, I was feeling overwhelmed, trying to balance it all. I remember seeking God about how I was feeling. He led me to start reading the Bible out loud. Everything changed once I prioritized reading the word of God out loud.

Comparison steals Your Joy, Your Peace and It is Emotionally Draining!

Power words: Psalm 118:24 New King James Version (NKJV) This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. Philippians 4:4 King James Version (KJV) Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. Mind reset quote: Don't wait for your life to change, but accept that everything that you're experiencing right now is shaping you into the person who you are today, it's also helping you to become someone who has an unstoppable and relentless desire to overcome challenges. Whenever you find yourself in a non-inspiring situation, just stop for a moment and remind yourself that your joy is important. Declare to yourself: I'm grateful that God has given me this new day, I will rejoice and not complain. With this perspective, you'll find your joy renewed as we continue to rejoice in every situation which takes practice and patience. With a clear focus on God's destination for your life. It's imperative that our joy stays congruent with His promises. With God's presence infused in you, you're like a plant with distinct sweetness, that will eventually start flourishing with fruits of God's love. Your JOY is not for sale. LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE!

Episode Summary:   Today we’re going to be talking about the pain of the friendship relationships that steal your joy. Specifically, toxic friends. Have you ever struggled with a friendship that has gone array? Perhaps you invested yourself fully into a friendship only to find out that the relationship was a bit one-sided, or perhaps even a toxic friendship? If so, then today is the perfect show for you.   There's something wrong with your friendship, but you can't figure out what. Is everything in your head? Unfortunately, most of us have a few toxic friends over the course of our life. Toxic friendships happen to everyone, but we seldom identify the underlying issues while we battle confusion or the friendship breaks up. Friendships can be hard but breaking up is even harder. Maybe you're left bewildered in the friendship's wake, paralyzed to move forward. On today’s show we are going to be talking to Mary DeMuth. After wading through several difficult relationships with toxic friends, Mary reveals the seven different types of toxic friendships and empowers you to identify the messiest relationships causing you the greatest anguish.   I had the pleasure of reading an early copy of her book, The Seven Deadly Friendships and offered my written endorsement: "In 30 years as a mental health practitioner, I've had the privilege of working with patients who have struggled with and suffered because of toxic friends, akin to those detailed in The Seven Deadly Friendships. Mary helps us identify those toxic relationships and then points us to seven life-giving practices to help us receive and extend healthy friendships."   Quotables from the episode:   Have you ever had toxic friends? If so, you’ll want to listen to this episode of Your Hope-Filled Perspective with Dr. Michelle Bengtson. The toxic friendships are based on the seven deadly sins listed in Proverbs 6: haughty eyes, lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent, a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong, a false witness who pours out lies, and a person who sows discord in a family. Almost all sins are relational in some sort of way, whether they are relational toward God or toward others. The difficult relationships we face that coordinate with the seven deadly sins are: Narcissist Nolan, Unreliable Uma, Predator Paige, Conman Connor, Temptor Trevor, Faker Fiona, and Dramatic Drake. For each of these types of relationships, we need to know what the scriptures say about them, but we also need to ask ourselves the question, “Am I like this?” Relationships are built on two or more individuals, and we each play a role in their success or their failure. We need to examine our hearts and become better friends, because the stuff of life is built on friendships. There are a lot of divorce recovery books available, but until now there wasn’t a friendship divorce recovery book to guide us through such relationship breakups. Friendship breakups can be even more painful than a romantic breakup. Part of the reason for that is because we don’t expect it. When you are dating someone to find a mate, you anticipate kissing a few frogs before finding the prince to spend your life with. But especially as women, we tend to look at friendships and expect them to be lifelong and not just for a season. When they break up, we are left wondering “what’s wrong with me?” The deadly friendship that seemed like it would be the least common was actually one of the most common: Conman Connor. When you have equated a relationship with finances or money, which can be as simple as someone friending you on facebook only to turn around and ask you to buy their awesome product, that is quite common. Just about everyone has experienced that kind of a relationship. That is a transactional view of relationship and we need to be super cautious about that. When that happens we are left feeling dirty because we were used, and our relationship is undervalued because they only want you for the dollar sign. In today’s world, Faker Fiona is common. That’s someone with cameleon-like tendencies because we present one way online but often different in person. Narcissistic personalities are often difficult to identify because they present as charming and engaging, rather than controlling and manipulative. It can be hard after a friendship breakup because we blame ourselves even when people with predatory or narcissistic tendencies are skilled at preying on others. It helps to ask, “Why was I attracted to people who are so self-absorbed, or who were preying on me?” It often goes back to childhood, thinking that if we could just get those personality types to love us, then they would complete our incomplete story from childhood. The Lord has to be the completer of our story. He is perfect, He is loving, He loves me no matter what. He can complete that love need that we have. This is not meant to just point the finger, but to help us grow and change and become better friends to others. Relationship is a good thing. God said it was not good for Adam to be alone so He created a companion for Adam in the Garden of Eden. But sin has come into the world, so now it’s a matter of learning how to grow AND how to guard our heart. Jesus had very close relationships with twelve, not with thousands. He modeled for us how to choose good relationships and invest in relationships that want reciprocity. If we imagine the freedom to walk away, and think about how God may heal us, or heal the other person, that can truly be healing to know that things will be okay even if we walk away. It also helps to consult an unbiased party who is not involved in the relationship to get their perspective; either a trusted friend or a counselor. Whether you rely on a couple of close friends who have your back but will speak the truth in love, or a therapist who is unbiased and can offer an unbiased perspective, a neutral third party can reflect the truth back to you so that this doesn’t have to continue as a lifelong cycle. Therapy helps you determine why you continue to choose the same behavior repeatedly. If you feel like you are the one contributing to a relationship, we always have the opportunity to apologize, and repentance does amazing things. But it takes two for reconciliation. If God removes someone from your life, don’t go chasing after them. There is a reason He removed them. It’s not up to us to change other people, we are responsible for our own behavior. Don’t let past pain embitter you to future relationships. If you never open your heart again to safe community, you will spiral down in bitterness. Our prayer for you is that you might identify relationships that are truly not healthy friends, so you can do something about them and remain in community.   Scripture References:   “He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.” (Proverbs 13:20) “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.” (Proverbs 27:17)   Recommended Resources:   7 Deadly Friendships: How to Heal When Painful Relationships Eat Away at Your Joy by Mary DeMuth https://amzn.to/2xI5bL Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No To Take Control of Your Life by Cloud and Townsend https://amzn.to/2SorqAi https://drmichellebengtson.com/10-traits-grace-based-friends/ https://drmichellebengtson.com/ask-dr-b-surviving-a-friends-betrayal/ https://drmichellebengtson.com/who-is-your-best-friend/   Social Media Links for Host and Guest:   To contact Mary: Website: MaryDeMuth.comPrayEveryDay.show: https://www.marydemuth.com/category/pray-every-day-podcast/ Book: 7deadlyfriendships.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AuthorMaryDeMuth Twitter: https://twitter.com/marydemuth Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marydemuth/    For more hope, stay connected with Dr. Bengtson at: To order Hope Prevails: https://drmichellebengtson.com/hope-prevails-book/ Website: https://drmichellebengtson.com/ Blog: https://drmichellebengtson.com/blog/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrMichelleBengtson Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrMBengtson (@DrMBengtson) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmichellebengtson/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmichellebengtson/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/drbhopeprevails/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/MichelleBengtson Radio Show Host: http://graceandtruthradio.world/shows/your-hope-filled-perspective/    Air Date: July 15, 2019   Guest: Mary DeMuth Mary DeMuth is a writer and speaker who loves to help people live re-storied lives.

Enjoy the Rebroadcast of the Wait on the Lord Prayer. According to the Holy Scriptures we know that those who wait on the YOU Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. Help us to remain steadfast and unmovable as we wait patiently fully expecting our deliverance to come. Strengthen us with YOUR Joy so that we do not lose heart.  YOUR word assures us that our momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison no matter how it seems. 

In this the 6th and final week of our study of Galatians Paul gets much lighter in his tone as he discusses Walking in the Spirit, Sharing Each Others Burdens; Taking Responsibility for Our Choices, Doing Good because It Is The Right Thing, LIVING THE CROSS DAILY, Taking No Glory for One's self, and Letting No Man Take Your Joy Away.Click for ScriptureWatch on Facebook
