Complete Joy vs Temporary Excitement

Speaker 3 0:55

Hi there, may the God of the Bible bless your life together once again with the fast of Daniel. I have separated for you this Bible verse about joy. Let us read it together. Jesus said these things I have spoken to you that my joy you see, capital M refers to Jesus my joy may remain in you and that your joy may be full. What is a full joy, or complete joy? It's the joy that God gives to you.

Speaker 3 1:49

You don't need a drink, you don't need drugs, men, women, parties, entertainment to feel good, to feel good. I remember that some weeks ago they showed on the TV the breaking news the first time a child went to Disney World and they were showing the excitement because the child's dream was to go over there and this child was overwhelmed, smiling, crying, laughing, all the above. Then I was thinking this joy or this happiness, which is good, is a child going to play to have good times? No problem, there is nothing wrong in it. But I'm talking about the excitement. When this child grows, become an adult, or if he goes there repeated time more than once, he's going to find no, nothing new, no more entertainment, because he knows everything. So that excitement is quented, is gone. Now this child will need something stronger.

It's like drugs. They say, praise god, I have never done drugs. But they say they start smoking, uh, vaping. Then they start going to marijuana. They want something stronger. They go to crack cocaine, k2, k9, k10. They go to PCP, to heroin and many other drugs and they don't stop. They are never satisfied. But the Lord said I want to give you my peace, and my peace in full. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of joy. You are going to be always joyful.

Speaker 2 4:00

The Holy Spirit is joy that remains Fast of Daniel 21 days pleasing the Holy Spirit is joy that remains Fast of Daniel 21 days pleasing the Holy Spirit.

Speaker 3 4:17

Well, 10 days seeking the Holy Spirit, the full joy. You are going to be joyful and no one will take this joy away from you. That was the message God said to Mary, to Martha. Mary has chosen the best and no one will take it from her. Joy, joy from the Holy Spirit. Tomorrow will be day number 11. And we are going to be back with the fast of Daniel.
