The Enemies of Joy

Book excerpt: The devil is working intelligently and diligently with near hundred percent precision, on how to steal, kill, or destroy your joy. He is determined to use anyone or anything available that he can. The devil wants you to have everything that is opposite of joy, such as sorrow, shame, depression, and disgrace to name a few. It is your responsibility with God's help to defend and secure your joy against the devil and his agents with everything you've got. Money cannot buy joy. You don't have to be poor or wealthy, old or young, and big or small to have true joy. Though God is the source of true joy, you can promote or limit your joy. You can control what you do, not what others do, but you have the power to control how you accept/react/respond to what others do. Joy works wonders, it is the soul's medicine, and gives life to your bones. The bible says in Nehemiah 8: 10c, that "The joy of the Lord is your strength." You can live a life full of joy, because you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. This book will show you the enemies of joy, how to defeat them, and how to defend/secure your joy. If you don't defend your joy, nobody will do it for you! No matter what you are going through today, there is hope. Trust God, let Him wipe away your tears and help you reap in joy per Psalm 126: 5, "Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy." If you don't want sorrow, shame, depression, and disgrace to rule your life, you must fight and overcome the enemies of joy without compromise, because your life depends on it. You and God forms the undefeatable team against all the enemies of your joy. Talk is cheap, but action is power! You can do this, I believe you can, yes you can!
