Joy Comes In The Morning

I heard the Lord say, "Joy comes in the morning".

Psalm 30:5 - "For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning."

I believe the Lord is saying that it is now time for His joy to be poured out! This has to do with Times and Seasons of the Lord, and I feel the Lord is saying that this release of Joy is both a time and a season for His people. This coincides with the Feast of Pentecost, which we're now in, and which is a time for joy, happiness, celebration, and rejoicing over harvest!

Ecc.3:1,4 - "There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven - A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance."

Joy releases strength (Neh.8:9,10), and it clothes us with the same anointing that Jesus operated in during His time on the earth (Luke4:18). The anointing of the oil of gladness/joy (Isa.61) is the anointing that sets the captives free and allows His body to do the "greater works" that have been prophesied. Joy also releases blessings and provision in abundance!

Psa.126:5,6 - "Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting. He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed, shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him."

Nugget of Gold: It is time to remove our graveclothes, our garments of mourning. By faith, step into this time of Joy and reaping that the Lord has ordained. Receive strength from the Spirit of Might and go forth in power to fulfill your destiny!
