His Covenant - Rejoice Always

REJOICE - to be in a state of happiness and well being, to have joy
Be Joyful Always
Imperative - Command - He is not asking you to rejoice, he is telling you to rejoice
Define Joy?
ALWAYS - ALL THE TIME
Your JOY should not be linked to your outward CIRCUMSTANCES and SITUATIONS
Your JOY should be linked to your inward CERTAINTY OF SALVATION
The SOURCE OF YOUR JOY is not found in the EXTERNAL TEMPORARY things of this world
The SOURCE OF YOUR JOY is found in the INTERNAL, ETERNAL thing of His Word
Not a FEELING of JOY but a FILLING of JOY
Find God’s Hand and Hope In Everything

Matthew 5:11–12 NASB95
“Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Romans 8:14–18 NASB95
For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
Matthew 5:11-12
Matthew 5:11-12
- Count it ALL JOY

And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
2 Corinthians 6:10 NASB95
as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing yet possessing all things.
Romans 5:3-5
2 Corinthians 6:10
1 Peter 4:13 NASB95
but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation.
1 Peter 4:13
Philippians 3:1
Philippians 3:1 NASB95
Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.

His Care

Ephesians 5:20
ALWAYS means we should be able to REJOICE, PRAY, and GIVE THANKS in the LIVING ROOM
So that whenever we gather together in ANY ROOM… it because of our continuous REJOICING, PRAYING, and THANKFULNESS… ANY ROOM can be a “LIVING ROOM”
We ARE the Church. These are COMMANDS of THE CHURCH
If we get the VERTICAL RELATIONSHIP in ORDER the HORIZONTAL RELATIONSHIP will not be OUT OF ORDER
If its GETTIN HOT IN HERE… REJOICING, PRAYING, and GIVING THANKS AT ALL TIMES IS THE AIR CONDITIONING!!!!
You have to be CONVINCED that OUR GOD is STRONGER
You have to be CONVINCED that OUR GOD is HIGHER THAN ANY OTHER
