The Scripture says, “The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God.” You have to use your spiritual weapons. You have the power of prayer. You have the name of Jesus. You have the Word of God. You can speak His promises over your situation.

When you let God be your vindicator, He’ll take care of who’s trying to stop you. He’ll deal with the disrespect, the jealousy, the people who are doing you wrong. Don’t fight battles that don’t matter.

The enemy is called the accuser. He’d love for you to live down on yourself. He’ll remind you of every mistake you’ve ever made. It may all be true, but what he doesn’t tell you is that there’s another chance coming. God’s mercy is bigger than your mistakes.

You can’t change difficult people. You can’t stop the offense, the disrespect, but you can rise higher. You were created to soar, designed to make an impact, to accomplish big things, to be a history maker, a world changer.

Jesus said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled.” Notice the principle: you have to be thirsty before God will fill you. Are you thirsty, or have you let the circumstances suppress your faith? Get your thirst back; get your fire back.

No matter how nice you are, you’re going to encounter people who are hard to get along with. How you handle difficult people will determine how high you will go.

Sometimes we’re waiting for the destination in order to be happy. When we accomplish the dream, when we meet the right person, when we get the breakthrough. No, how about enjoying the journey. How about enjoying where God has you right now. This is a great day to be alive. Be inspired by this message from Joel, "Be Happy Where You Are". bit.ly/JOAPodcast

Paul wrote much of the New Testament from a prison cell. The enemy thought he was shutting Paul up, but God knows how to take what was meant for harm and use it to your advantage. In that prison cell, Paul wrote, “Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say rejoice.” He wrote, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy.”

Declaring the greatness of God, speaking His promises, that’s going to build your faith. That’s how you can enjoy where you are and not just endure where you are. When you don’t have joy, you don’t have strength. But when you’re happy where you are despite what’s coming against you, you’re going to have the strength you need to stay in faith while you’re waiting for things to change.

You can’t make people change. You can’t make situations turn around. Pray, believe, do what you can. Then leave it in God’s hands. Proverbs says, “Those who trust in the Lord will be happy.” When things aren’t changing, the only way you’re going to be happy is by trusting that God is working. Check out this message from Joel!

When you said yes to Jesus, He gave you a new heart inside and filled it with His joy. He’s saying, “I’ve given you exactly what you need to defeat the power of the enemy and stay strong in this life.” His joy is inside you, but you must cultivate it.

Life is short. If you’re going to be happy, you have to do it on purpose because there will always be something to take your joy: people, traffic, delays. Turn on the news. That will depress you. You have to choose joy each morning. Choose to be content with whatever comes your way.

Are you going to spend your life unhappy, waiting for people and circumstances to do what you want, and then you’ll enjoy your life? That’s the wrong way to live. You’re putting your happiness in other people’s hands. You’re letting your joy be dependent on the circumstances. You have to take control of your happiness.

After Paul wrote, I’ve learned to be content, the next verse says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” He wrote it in context of keeping our joy, and staying content when things come against us. How can you be happy in a hard place? Through Christ who gives you strength. Listen to this message from Joel! "Be Happy Where You Are": bit.ly/JOAPodcast

Paul said in Philippians 4, “I have learned how to be content whatever situation I’m in." He was saying, “Whether I have a lot or a little, whether people are treating me right or wrong, whether my plans have worked out or they haven’t, I’m still going to be happy. I’m still going to keep my joy.” Your happiness is not based on your circumstances; it’s based on a decision.

Everything may not be perfect. We all have things come against us. The key is to enjoy where you are while God is in the process of changing things. If you don’t get happy where you are, you probably won’t get to where you want to be. Tune into Joel’s message today! "Be Happy Where You Are": bit.ly/3LwFSDa

You have to tap into God’s joy. You have to develop it and practice it. The apostle Paul said it this way: “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice” (Philippians 4:4). To rejoice means “to brighten.” There’s a light of Jesus’ joy inside you. You just have to turn it up.
