Let's take a look at what God has to say about joy.
Joy is the solution to our problems, the state of our country and all our fears. Sorrow is something Jesus took on the cross and bore for us. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows.1 We no longer should allow it in our lives. The church should be the most joyful place there is and Christians should be the most joyful people!
Whenever the Bible talks about sorrow, it always relates it to joy. Joy is to replace sorrow. Sorrow in the original language means worry, pain, anger, and grief. These things can break and kill€¦ by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.2 the sorrow of the world worketh death. 3 Joy is from God, and it is more powerful than sorrow.
Therefore the redeemed (that is us) of the LORD shall return €¦ and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away. 4 Joy is our strength. For thou art the God of my strength (joy) €¦why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? 5
This scripture points out that laughter and joy are opposite of mourning, heaviness, sorrow, and oppression. I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow. 6 The voice of joy.7 Joy has a voice! God wants to turn your sorrow and oppression into JOY. From sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: (reason for joy) that they should make them days of feasting and joy. 8
God wants you to have abundance in all areas of your life. The ransomed of the LORD shall return, (God wants you to come out of the bondage that are in the world.) €¦joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. 9 Sorrow flees when JOY shows up. Ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. 10
The devil also uses oppression to bring sorrow. They are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction and sorrow.11 Oppression means misery, a sense of loss, guilt, remorse, or deep disappointment. Our spirit is broken when we are sorrowful. Joy is the answer to sorrow and mourning. To give unto them €¦the oil of joy for mourning, 12 Joy is strength. The Joy of the Lord is our strength. 13
Sorrow is from the devil and is meant to destroy us. The next scripture says that not only is our spirit broken, but a broken spirit dries the bones. We become sick when we are sad. Laughter and joy are naturally healing to our bodies. Doctors say people with a sense of humor get well faster. Some doctors tell dying patients to go home and watch funny programs on TV. Rested from their enemies,€¦ from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending €¦gifts to the poor. 14
Both sorrow and joy are spiritual forces. Sorrow is what the world experiences and is from the devil, but joy is from God and overcomes sorrow. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me (with the spirit of joy) to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,15 All this is action.
When you know the goodness of God and who you are in Christ, you will have joy to walk just like He did. God anointed Jesus €¦ with the Holy Ghost and with power. Jesus was anointed with joy! 16 Thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 17 In the original language, Hebrew, joy and gladness are interpreted from the same word.
The kingdom of God is€¦ Righteousness, peace and JOY in the HOLY SPIRIT. 18 JOY is POWER in the Holy Spirit, which is IN YOU! You have this same power and Joy in you through the Holy Spirit. Now he which established us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God 19 We have this same anointing. We are in Christ and Jesus is our head. The head and the body are the same.
When we are not filled with Joy it affects things around us. The vine is dried up... all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men. 20 If we are in Him, we should be filled with JOY! He is anointed with JOY 21
We are even called God's garden. 22 €¦ the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein,23 (we are to bring the fruit, JOY, to others). In the Garden of Eden there was Joy and gladness.
We should be filled with JOY. When we have joy in God, we have laughter!!
Then was our mouth filled with laughter, €¦ then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. 24 God also laughs, He laughs at the foolishness of evil doings. 25
Because God has done great things for us, we can laugh and have great joy.
Now let's discuss how wine in the natural makes a person laugh and the heart glad. It is a copy of the true laughter and joy, the Holy Spirit. A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit dries the bones.26 God also says that if we have a merry heart we have a feast (we have a) €¦ continual feast. 27 A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes life merry 28 (The Holy Spirit baptism is associated with wine)
These are not drunk as you suppose €¦ but this was what Joel prophesied. 29
God wants us to laugh and be joyful. Jesus is the vine and we are the branches. 30 Vines create grapes that make wine. The Holy Spirit is related to wine in the Bible. The Holy Spirit has joy and laughter. Communion is representative of wine. The Bible says wine is to make the heart glad. Can you see how God pulls it all together? God wants us to be joyful. The world gets drunk to forget problems and have a good time. That is a COPY of what God has for us. We are to get drunk in the Holy Spirit! Everything God has for us, the devil copies and twists. Wine that makes glad the heart of man... 31 (wine is the world's imitation of being filled with the Holy Spirit). A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry.32
The Holy Spirit fills us with joy They were all filled with the Holy Ghost... : Others mocking said, these men are full of new wine. 33 The Bible says new wine for new wine skins so we could be filled with the Holy Spirit.34 Here the Bible compares drunkenness with being filled with the Holy Spirit. These are not drunken, as ye suppose€¦ But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel.35 They must have been acting like drunken people for someone to accuse them of drunkenness. Eph 5:18 says, Be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit.
