KNOWING GODS JOY
#7 AND FINAL MESSAGE IN KNOWING GOD SERIES
Did you know that God is happy or joyful?
Nehemiah 8:10 for the joy of the Lord is your strength.
We usually think of the joy of the Lord as something God gives to us, and He does. But God can not give joy to us unless he has it himself. And He is joy!
1 Timothy 1:11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
Paul calls God the blessed God here. The word blessed means happy. Have you ever stopped to think that God is happy?
· God is happy because He is the great I am. He is self-sufficient. He is satisfied or happy in Himself.
· God is happy because He is sinless.
· God is happy because He is the one who is happiness.
Was Jesus happy or joyful as God the Son? But of course!
John 15:11 - These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
So, I come ask the question, Does your joy convict you of being a Christian? Do you know Gods joy in a personal, intimate way, or you in a constant state of stress, anxiety, business, frustration and/or uncertainty?
1. Do I know the joy of Salvation?
The Bible is very clear that every human being has failed God. Romans 3:10, 23
Our sin is a problem because God is a righteous, holy God.
He demands payment for sins committed against Him.
There is payment for sin.
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death;
We are lost, headed for hell and punishment because the wages of sin is death. But thats not the end of the story.
God has placed a rescue plan in effect so you can be rescued from the punishment you deserve.
God sent His own Son to live a perfect life here on earth and then to take your place by bearing on His shoulders the punishment for you sins. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
So, because Jesus has died for you sins, He offers to you a wonderful alternative to eternal punishment. It is called eternal life.
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Being saved is a gift received by faith. Ephesians 2:8-9
When you receive the free gift of eternal life, you also receive the gift of joy that comes from knowing that your sins are forgiven and that you are headed for Heaven.
If you have not received the gift of salvation, I encourage you to do so today.
1 Peter 1:8-9 - Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: [9] Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
Peter was writing to those who had not seen the Lord Jesus, but they loved Him. They realized what a great price Jesus, the very Son of God had paid for their sins
Their love for Jesus, which was a result of believing on Him as Savior produced an indescribable joy that was full of glory. The word glory, according to John MacArthur, means to render highest praise. John MacArthur, The MacArthur New Testament Commentary 1Peter (Chicago, Moody Press, 2004), p.47
So how high is your joy level because you are saved?
Do you spend joyful times of praise during the week?
Are the times of worship here on Sunday Morning times of joy unspeakable and full of glory?
If you do not have times of joy unspeakable and full of glory ask yourself two questions:
1. Am I saved? Have I truly trusted Jesus as my Savior?
2. Am I doing something to hinder my joy? That may be a sin, or just plain neglect of time with the Lord because of business. You need to confess and forsake whatever is keeping you from joy unspeakable and full of glory.
2. Do I know the joy of the Savior?
John 15:11 - These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
Your Savior loves you so much that He wants your joy to be permanent. Even in tough times He wants His joy to come to our rescue.
Your Savior also wants your joy to be full.
When something is full, its complete and there is not room for anything else.
We expect our human love to be permanent, and the permanence of human love is preserved by human contact. The more we are in intimate, frequent fellowship with the one we love, the stronger and more permanent the spiritual bond is between two people.
And the more we are in intimate frequent fellowship with the one we love, our joy in that relationship increases and becomes full.
Jesus says, These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
What did Jesus say to the disciples that would allow them to have the joy of Jesus?
He told them to have an intimate, frequent fellowship with the One we love, the Lord Jesus. John 15:4-5
Spend time with Jesus in His Word and prayer.
Reflect on His Word when you arent reading it.
Talk to the Lord Jesus as you would to an old friend who is spending the day with you.
After all Jesus is the friend that sticks closer than a brother. He is spending the day with you!
3. Do I know the joy of the Spirit?
If you are truly born again the Spirit of God indwells you.
If the Holy Spirit indwells you, you should be aware of His presence. You should feel His presence and feel the effects of His presence. If you have no cognizance of the presence of the Holy Spirit of God, Id be concerned. Romans 8:9
If the Holy Spirit is in us, we should allow Him to control us through confessing all known sin, yielding to Christ, and asking God to fill us. Ephesians 5:18, Galatians 5:16
So what happens when we are controlled by the indwelling Holy Spirit? We have joy!
Acts 13:52 - And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
Galatians 5:22 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
4. Do I know the joy of Submission?
Matthew 11:28-30 - Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Have you noticed that nobody is happy when someone is stubborn? Your child is stubborn and neither of you are happy. Your mate is stubborn and neither of you is happy. Your boss or employee is stubborn and neither of you is happy.
When we are stubborn, God is not pleased with our actions and will not fill us joy. And we are unhappy because we lack Gods joy when we are stubborn.
The solution to this problem is really quite simple.
When we lack rest we come to Jesus for rest.
When we lack rest we take the same yoke that Jesus wore for our own.
A yoke was placed around oxen in order to control them.
Jesus says to take His yoke.
The yoke that Jesus wore was a yoke of obedience to the Heavenly Father.
John 4:34 - Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
And please notice, that Jesus yoke is easy and His burden is light. There is no better way to find Gods Joy than to learn from Jesus and to obey.
John 13:17 - If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
In this passage Jesus promises rest for our souls.
When our souls are at rest because we are being submissive to God, we will have joy.
5. Do I know the joy of Supplication?
John 16:24 - Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
Has it ever occurred to you that we forfeit our own joy when we fail to ask for things in the name of the Lord Jesus? Failure to pray is a guarantee that we will not have joy.
When we ask in Jesus name we are saying to God that we believe that we are asking is according to Jesus will.
We recognize that we have no authority before God to ask, but Jesus does, and we are asking in His name, because He is our Savior and He says to ask in His name.
Why does Jesus choose to see that our prayers are answered?
First of all, when our prayers are answered God is glorified through the Lord Jesus.
John 14:13-14 - And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. [14] If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
God is glorified when your prayers are answered, because every answer to prayer is a miracle, even though the answer often comes through what seems to be human involvement.
Secondly, Jesus chooses to see that our prayers are answered because answered prayer brings us joy.
You know how joyful you are when you make a request and someone gives you what you ask for.
Jesus wants you be joyful with the answers that He will give you.
Of course, our prayers need to be according to the will of God. But if we are in tune with Gods will, we will want the things that He wants and will pray accordingly. John 15:45
6. Do I know the joy of Sharing?
1 Thessalonians 2:19-20 - For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? [20] For ye are our glory and joy.
Paul was looking forward to the day that he would stand before His Lord in judgment.
He realized that those to whom He ministered, who had been saved our grown under his ministry would be His reward.
What a joy it will be to be in Heaven with us those who were reached with the Gospel through our efforts.
What a joy it will be to be in Heaven with those who grew in Christ because of our efforts.
We need to learn the joy of sharing Jesus Christ with those who dont know Him.
Not everyone we witness to will receive Christ, but some will.
Not every Christian that we teach or encourage will grow under our tutelage, but some will.
What a joy it will be to be able to present to the Lord Jesus those weve led to the Lord and those weve helped.
2 Corinthians 9:6-7 - But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
Another way we share is through giving of our resources to the Lords work and to those in need.
If we sow sparingly in the area of giving, we will reap sparingly. But the more we invest in the Lords work, the more dividends there will be. Matthew 6:19-20
According to 2 Corinthians 9:7 sharing is to be our joy.
God has done so much for us. We should want to share what Hes given us joyfully with others.
7. Do I know the joy of Gods Strength?
Nehemiah 8:10 - for the joy of the Lord is your strength.
We end where we began.
If we are going to be strong in this life, it is because we have made the joy of the Lord our strength. It will be because we have learned to rely on Him, and to do those things which bring us His joy?
So my question this morning is simply this If you were brought into a court of law being accused of being a Christian, would your Christian joy convict you?
***************************************************************************
2 Chronicles 7:14
A NATION AFTER GOD'S HEART
I suggest that just before this sermon that you sing "America" ("My Country 'Tis of Thee).
This morning during our worship service we did something that was first done almost 170 years ago at a July 4th celebration. It was on July 4th, 1831 when the words "My Country 'Tis of Thee', our national hymn, were first sung by the Sunday School children in the Park Street Church in Boston.
"Oliver Wendell Holmes, who was a classmate of the author, Samuel Frances Smith, a Baptist minister, attributed Smith's genius in the song to the very first word, "my". This makes the song personal, and instantly challenges every patriot." (source unknown)
Of course, the hymn "America" is a hymn of pride. We as Americans have much to be proud of!
We can be proud of our beautiful forests, gorgeous mountains, enormous rivers, and fertile farmlands.
We can be proud of our democracy, our system of government, and our freedoms of speech and movement.
We can be proud to be a refuge for those in need. It is written on the base or our Statue of Liberty,
"Give me your tired, your poor, you huddled masses yearning to be free, The refuse of your teeming shore. Send these the homeless, tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
We can be proud of our Bill of Rights, and proud that it is on our money that it says, "In God we trust".
I, for one, am proud to sing "My Country 'Tis of Thee"!
But let's not fool ourselves. We are a nation that is in trouble!
We are a nation that permits babies to be murdered through abortion.
We are a nation that has to build more cells because our prisons are overcrowded.
We are a nation that forbids prayer in school, and forbids Christian groups to meet on some campuses.
We are a nation whose general morality has reached an all time low.
We tend to slap the face of God who made us a great nation!
There is no doubt that America is but a shadow of her previous greatness. Does this have anything to do with God? 2 Chronicles 7:13 tells us that the answer is "yes"! In appearing to Solomon God shows that He commands the things that happen to a nation. He controls the weather, the animal population and disease according to this verse.
2 Chronicles 36:14-17 shows God's judgment on Judah. The same thing happened to the Northern Kingdom of Israel.
My friends, never say that it couldn't happen here!
Down through the centuries too many nations have fallen for us to presumptuous.
Instead, we must ask, "Can we reverse the trend?" The answer, of course, is "yes"!
God shows us how to reverse the trend in 2 Chronicles 7:14
Let us answer 3 questions:
1. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
God says that His people are the responsible ones.
Originally, that would have meant that God was speaking to Israel. Today, however, the people of God are the Christians. Romans 10:12-13
Notice also that the people of God are those called by His name.
We are called "Christians", named after Jesus Christ, who is God in the flesh.
It is the Christian who needs to be responsible for a national turning back to God.
2. WHAT ARE THE RESPONSIBILITIES?
We are to humble ourselves. James 4:6,10
We are to pray. I believe this is a prayer of confession. Psalm 32:5
We are to seek God's face.
We are to turn from our wicked ways.
3. HOW WILL GOD RESPOND?
He will hear from Heaven.
He will forgive our sin.
He will heal our land.

2 Chronicles 7:14
HELP FOR AMERICA
I probably don't have to tell you that America is a moral and spiritual mess! Just look at the deterioration in American television, radio and movies. Things are said and allowed on them that were considered inappropriate and lewd in the past.
Consider also the drastic increase of unmarried couples living together, and the lack of respect and discipline in the schools.
And what about all the perverted crimes against children and the astronomical number of abortions performed in a year?
So, what is the solution to this problem? Can we see any change? Is there a way of seeing America reverse itself and once again become a God-fearing nation? I believe the answer is "yes". But I also believe that for America to turn around, the change must begin here and in every church that truly preaches and practices the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
2 Chronicles 7:14 - If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
I want us to see three things from this verse;
GOD'S PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE
GOD'S PEOPLE ARE TO REPENT
GOD'S PEOPLE WILL BE REWARDED
GOD'S PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE
If my people, which are called by my name,
When these words were originally written, God's people were the Children of Israel. And although Israel is still special in God's eyes, and will someday serve God through the Lord Jesus Christ. There is another people today that are the people of God.
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 1:12-13 - But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: [13] Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Not only are we God's people but, as the text says, we are called by God's name. Actually we are called by the name of God's Son. We are called Christians.
When things are morally and spiritually rotten, God's people are responsible.
If my people, which are called by my name,
You might be thinking, "How can you blame all of this on us Christians?"
I believe that the problem is, at least in part, our fault for a few reasons:
1. We have failed to live Godly lives. 1 Peter 1:15-16
2. We have failed to be the "salt of the earth" and the "light of the world" to those around
us.
Matthew 5:13, Matthew 5:14-16
3. We have failed to witness to others.
4. We have failed to really care about the conditions around us,
and failing to care, we have,
5. Failed to pray!
So, like it or not, we are responsible for part of the problem, because we have not been part of the solution.
GOD'S PEOPLE ARE TO REPENT
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves,
When a person repents, he or she has a change in heart and a change in direction. He is headed in the wrong direction and turns around to go in the right direction. The first part of repentance is humility.
Humility is a quality that God requires of those who would be saved. In order to have God's forgiveness we have to admit that we are sinners and can't save ourselves.
Humility is a quality that God requires of Christians.
I believe that we as Christians need to humble ourselves in two ways. First of all, we try too hard in our own strength.
We fail to admit what Jesus told us in John 15:5. With out Him we can do nothing.
The sooner we realize that we are helpless without God, the better off we will be. What stops us? Our pride keeps us from humbling ourselves before God and admitting that we need His help.
Also our pride and our lusts keep us from admitting that we have sin in our lives that needs to be dealt with. We don't like admitting our sin or allowing God to take the sin away from us.
Need an idea of what sort of things comprise sin? Proverbs 6:19-20, Revelation 21:7-8
Amos 3:3 - Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
Sin is anything that God does not agree with!
We can't walk with God unless we agree with Him!
If my people, which are called by my name,shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face,
The next step in repentance is seeking God's face through prayer.
We fail to live holy lives because we fail to pray.
Oh we pray when people are seriously ill.
But we don't pray seeking God's strength for Godly living.
And we don't pray seeking God's forgiveness for our sins.
And we don't pray bringing the need of our nation before the Lord.
There was once a man named Nehemiah who was concerned because the city of Jerusalem was defenseless. Before he did anything else he beseeched God in repentance and prayer.
Nehemiah 1:4-11
Nehemiah knew how to seek the face of God in prayer. How about you?
Psalm 66:18 - If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
Psalm 32:5 - I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
1 John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
And with confession of sin comes turning from sin.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways;
Turning away from sin means I've truly repented of sin.
Turning from sin, requires personal submission to God and reliance of on Him. Romans 6:1-14
GOD'S PEOPLE WILL BE REWARDED
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Notice the word "then".
Don't expect God to hear, forgive or heal until you have humbly repented.
God promises to hear when we cry out to him in humble confession and forsaking of sin. When God hears, He is attentive and ready to act in our behalf.
God also promises to forgive our sin. We've already seen that.
But please realize that forgiveness means a removal of guilt. So many of us walk around feeling guilty about things that God wants us simply to confess and forsake.
Finally, God promises to heal our land.
What land?
America? Yes, as Christians pray for the healing of America individually and corporately, I believe we will experience healing. That's why we are encouraging you to gather together with other Christians on Wednesday Night at the Sloan Hill Church.
But God also promises to heal YOUR LAND.
Perhaps it's a behavioral problem that you have.
Perhaps it's a broken relationship.
Perhaps it's a financial need.
Perhaps it's a problem with your husband or wife, son or daughter, Mom or Dad.
Perhaps it's a need for friends or loved ones to be saved.
When we are right with God, we open the door for God to answer our prayers and to meet our needs. Jeremiah 33:3, 1 John 5:14-15
Jeremiah 33:3 - Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
(This is a greatly expanded presentation of a previously shared outline.)

Nehemiah, Patriot
When we consider the word "patriot", we think of those who have defended and helped the country we call our own. In the U.S., we think of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Eisenhower, MacArthur etc.
