     Webster's many definitions of "joy" including "feeling of great happiness," "a source or cause of great happiness," "success in doing, finding, or getting something," "the emotion evoked by well-being, success, or good fortune or by the prospect of possessing what one desires: delight," "the expression or exhibition of such emotion: gaiety," "a state of happiness or felicity: bliss," and "a source or cause of delight" are such weak, natural definitions because there is no supernatural definition of "joy" in the dictionary, only an impotent, natural one. The reason is obvious.....joy is a superhuman personage with all the powerful and potent attributes of the transfigured majesty of that person - Jesus. He is only described accurately in the Bible, not a human based dictionary or encyclopedia.

So joy is a person. Holy Spirit in you. Jesus On You (J-O-Y). Your Father singing, laughing, and dancing over your life.

Joy is supernatural substance....like the proverbial flubber. It bounces and bounds in you. It gains more energy the more it is consumed. It is flexible, moldable, renewable, reusable, inexhaustible, indestructible, and eternal.

Joy creates feelings, but it is more than feelings.....grander and deeper than happiness.....much more edifying than emotion. Joy can be chosen.....anytime, anywhere, in any circumstance or situation, happy or tragic, exhilarating or grieving, favorable or hurtful, uplifting or depressing. Joy can bubble up under the deepest pain in your heart and heal your woundedness progressively and permanently so your healthy rehabilitation and transformation are then your telling testimony to an all-mighty Deity.

Joy comes every morning offering Himself to be energetically employed by you in the fields of bountiful harvest.

Joy is related to hope, peace, and love. Joy initiates profound peace and exemplifies uninhibited hope which brings the liberty to love extravagantly and lavishly.

Joy can be experienced, encountered, engaged, en-joyed, exercised, expressed, and exhibited.

Joy is healing believed. Joy is deliverance received. Joy is restoration regained and redemption renewed.

Joy is refusing the lies of the enemy. Joy is truth that sets you free for true freedom, frivolity, and fun.

Joy is battling for the bold breakthroughs of an all-knowing, all-powerful, ever-present Heavenly Benefactor. Joy is contending for the consummation of your Consuming Fire as part of the Grand Finale Generation.

Joy is following, submitting, going low, lying down, rising up, honoring, respecting, and covenanting. Joy is your strength and your sustenance, your source and supply. 

Joy is energetic enthusiasm (which is often emotionally and excitedly exuded). Joy is edification in excellent excess.

Joy is loving as Jesus energizes the love.

Joy is prayer that Jesus desires to answer for you, dreams that He wants to fulfill for you, destiny that He wants to achieve for you.

Joy is your victory. It is a coup over all negative emotions, especially fear, the mother of all negative emotions that invites an unholy and evil spirit of fear. Joy defeats lack and loneliness, desperation and despair, indecision and inaction, introspection and insecurity in you.

Joy is overcoming. It is rising and resurrecting, expanding and escalating, accelerating and ascending.

Joy is declarable and decreeable. When you speak joy into the atmosphere, clouds of doubt and unbelief dissipate and disappear as they are dissolved by His overwhelming and awesome abiding presence.

Joy is your questions answered, your concerns confronted, your doubts defeated, and the attempts of the enemy to steal from you thwarted in the name of Jesus.

Joy is a wrecking ball attacking the construction of your own little kingdom through selfish ambition, arrogance, pride, and a worldly search for significance whose highest goal is mere happiness in personal fulfillment. 

Joy can be caught and captured, carefully considered and excitedly exclaimed. If you give it away, you instantly inherit more of it. The joy of the Lord IS your strength (Nehemiah 8:10b)!
