The book of Philippians talks a lot about joy. It’s mentioned over thirty times, which seems strange because Paul is writing while sitting in a Roman prison. Clearly his joy was not based on his circumstances.

I don't know about you, but I am very affected by my circumstances. Whether due to internal or external things, I find that I can be joyful or sorrowful, happy or sad from one moment to the next. But thank God that He has given us a glorious invitation to find the superior joy and pleasure of knowing Him, which can carry us through any storm or trial we may face. This is what Paul tapped into.

So how can we find this joy and live in it continually?

If only

When I was growing up the spirit of prophecy and prophetic singing was kind of ambiguous and random. I would go to a conference and see something and think, “That was the spirit of prophecy.” Then I would go to another conference and see someone else doing something and think, “O wait, that’s the spirit of prophecy.”

I was born in the Buffalo New York area where I was raised as a pastor’s kid. I had a very musical family and parents that believed in prayer! I know for sure that their countless prayers for me are the primary reason why I have stayed close to the Lord through the years.
