The joy of the Lord is your strength
Samuel Acevedo
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The Lord wants justice, peace, and joy in our lives. Satan targets our joy and wants to diminish or evaporate it, making serving the Lord feel like an affliction. Nehemiah Chapter 8 shows that revival can bring tears and sadness but also the joy of the Lord. Satan is an expert at taking sacred things and turning them into something evil. The joy of the Lord is our strength, and without it, we become immobilized and ineffective Christians.
The devil wants to attack our joy because without it, we become immobilized and ineffective Christians. The joy of the Lord is our strength, and Satan would love to fill the world with sour and reluctant Christians. We need to zealously protect the joy of the Lord and remember that Christ loves us, even in difficult times. Trials and difficult days will come, but we should not be surprised and should remember that they are opportunities to see aspects of God's character that we would not see otherwise. Finally, we should celebrate before the Lord as a spiritual discipline, marking a successful life in the Lord. The author shares a personal testimony of how the Lord provided for their ministry during a financial crisis.
The speaker shares a testimony of how God provided for their ministry when they were facing a crisis. They prayed and within two weeks, unexpected provision came that lasted for six months. The speaker encourages the audience to change their focus from petition to gratitude and celebration, sharing their own testimonies of God's faithfulness. The audience sings and praises God for his goodness and mercy. The speaker prays for the audience to recover their joy of salvation and walk in joy before the Lord. The audience gives a round of applause to celebrate God's victory.

Brothers, let's open the word to Romans Chapter 14. How many enjoy being in the house of God? Amen. How many feel joy to be in the house of God? Glory to God. Amen. So, the whole point, the reason, brothers, we are in good hands because that is precisely what God wants with our lives. Brothers, I don't know what brought you to the house of the Lord, and the Lord uses countless ways and patterns to bring us here. But know that the Lord wants something with you too. You want something from the Lord, but God wants something with you. At the end of this process those who walk in the Lord, the Lord wants you to reach a very clear end, that is the desire of your heart.
And in the name of Jesus we ask that all those who are here walking in the ways of the Lord, all those who follow us on the internet, all those who call Jesus Christ their Lord, our prayer is that their lives resemble this word, to this statement. Romans, Chapter 14, verse 17, we'll be there just for an introduction and then we'll move on to Nehemiah, the book of Nehemiah, Chapter 8. But this word declares:
