OUR MOUTHS WERE FILLED WITH LAUGHTER, OUR TONGUES WITH SONGS OF JOY
I want to share a word that I had a couple of years ago. With all the
warfare and the trying times that we are living in, many believers have
lost the joy that they once had. They are burdened down with worries,
sickness and fatigue. The Holy Spirit is showing me that He is going to
restore joy and release laughter to His people. There is a great time of
rejoicing coming to those who have been going through a difficult
season. We have all been held captive to something in our lives, and the
enemy is trying to enslave people once again through sickness,
financial problems, family issues, fears and addictions. Whatever
difficulty you are going through Jesus wants to release you and restore
the joy back into your life.
The
book of Psalms chapter 126 speaks about how the Israelites rejoiced
after their return from the exile and the Lord restored the fortunes of
Zion. In the days of Nehemiah, when they came back from Persia at the
decree of Ezra, they were rejoicing when they realized that they were
able to go back and rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. They were so filled with joy that they described it as a dream. The Lord wants to rebuild the things in your life that have been devoured by adversity.
The
Lord says, I am rebuilding those areas of your life that have been
destroyed in the battle. I will restore those things that have been lost
or stolen and I will remove the heavy burdens that have weighed you
down. Shackles are being broken and captives are being released. The
strongholds that have held you prisoner are coming off. I am releasing
the prisoners of war, and returning them home once again. I am healing
the brokenhearted and setting the captives free.
Allow
me to release you from addictions that you are not able to overcome on
your own, lifestyles that you are not able to change, and renew your old
mindsets and negative ways of thinking. Allow me to be Lord over every
area of your life. Allow me to free you from the bondage that is keeping
you from walking in freedom. I will break the restraints that are
holding you back from all that I have provided for you. Take the limits
off me in what I am able to do. Although you are in a difficult season,
victory shall be yours and joy and laughter shall return to you. As you
have sown in tears, you shall reap in joy. You will go out with joy and
be sent forth with peace. This is the Covenant promises that I have made
with you; says the Lord.
Psalms 126:1-6
When the
Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream.
Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing.
Then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for
them.” The Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad. Bring
back our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the South. Those who sow
in tears shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping,
bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
bringing his sheaves with him.
Jeremiah 29:14
I
will be found by you," declares the Lord, "and will bring you back from
captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I
have banished you," declares the Lord, "and will bring you back to the
place from which I carried you into exile."
Acts 2:28
You have made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in your presence.
