If I could convince the church that they should approach God with singing, with joy on their head and in so doing, would obtain gladness and joy which would make sadness and sorrow flee away, (depression), it would change the world. This is how God says the redeemed are to live and approach him, Is. 51:11.
If I could convince the church, when persecuted, to rejoice and leap for joy, the rewards of God would increase dramatically. That would change the world. This is what Jesus said, Lk. 6:23
If I could convince the church to have a merry heart, it would do good like a medicine. Merry hearts would release the healing power of God across the church and the world in greater measure and that would change the world. This is what the Bible says, Prv. 17:22.
If I could convince the church to have merry heart, it would make us all look better and that would change the world, so the Bible says, Prv. 15:13
If I could convince the church to have a merry heart, we would have a continual feast so the provision of God would be released at a greater level, so the Bible says, (Prv.15:15).
If I could convince the church to step into the joy of the Lord, it would step into the strength of the Lord. A more powerful church would arise, walking in the strength of the Lord and that would change the world. The joy of the Lord is our strength, so the Bible says, (Neh. 8:10).
If I could convince the world to look for the "fullness of joy" when seeking the presence of God, they would more likely find it and the rewards would increase dramatically. His presence is marked by fulness of joy. That is how you know you are where you think you are in relation to His presence, so the Bible says, Ps.16:11, Acts 2:28.
If we were to walk in joy, we would begin to look like the church portrayed in the New Testament and that would change the world. The Bible says God has chosen the foolish things to confound the wise. Isn't it sad, but curious, we go for the wise and ignore the foolish?
