Go Out .....

Joy will bring you out of captivity ...

Isaiah 55:12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

Peace will lead you to the wells of salvation where, with the drawing bucket (or ladle) of joy, you can appropriate those life giving, refreshing waters of supernatural provision.

What we are dealing with here is the ability to avail ourselves of all the resources of the Kingdom of God.

Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Righteousness is our spiritual compass, giving accurate bearing in the realms of the Spirit. Peace is the map by which we are led to the treasures hidden in Christ Jesus, the Wellspring Himself. Joy is the container necessary to draw out of the Source, life, and life more abundantly.

How do we come to have righteousness? In Christ [2 Cor. 5:21]. From where do we receive Joy? It is the fruit of the Spirit [Gal 5:22] which is received by an act of setting the will to make God our joy [Hab 3:18] and the speaking of our mouths [Pro 15:23]. Peace issues from God and is the result of obedience to the will and way of the Prince of Peace [2 Thes. 1:2; James 3:17-18; 1 Peter 3:11]

We have been given everything necessary to flourish in the most desolate, arid times of our lives. No desert wilderness is without it's wells of provision and supply. The wells of salvation are always waiting to yield up the riches of their depths.

Come, draw and drink .....
