Our posture in the spirit is determined by our understanding and accepting who we are, whose we are and what we have been given. When we do not know who we are, whose we are and what we have been given we live a very small, insecure, boring life.

God is fun! The Lord is full of adventures! Jesus is easy to get along with! The Father gives great advice! The Holy Spirit is the best comforter! Oh that we understood whose we are. Life would be so much more enjoyable; people would be so much more tolerable to us; and joy would be more speakable.

The Bible says, a cheerful heart is good medicine, I wonder if we need some laughter, some enjoyment, some fun in our lives to break off this heaviness many carry, cast out these diseases many are riddled with and lift off this yoke that many are under.

Think about this, Psalm 68 says, “Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered, And let those who hate Him flee before Him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; As wax melts before the fire, So let the wicked perish before God. But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God; Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.” Who are you in these verses? Are you the wicked and perishing or the righteous and rejoicing?

All God has to do is arise, stand up, take notice, look our direction. He does not make a move toward the enemy other than arising and look at the enemy flee, scatter, run for cover. One posture change by God, arise and the enemy can’t handle it. If you are in Christ and Christ is in you, if you just stand up in who God says you are, the enemy will flee. Didn’t Paul say, stand and keep on standing in Ephesians 6?

This truth is only one of many in the word of God and this alone is worthy of throwing our hands up in praise over; lifting our voice up in joy over; stomping our feet in dancing over. Joy is an inside job, because it is about knowing who you are, whose you are and what you have been given. No matter what it looks like circumstantially. God is arising so we need to be rejoicing for greater is He that is in us than He that is in th world. Rejoice! Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
