Understanding the Divine Secrets
of the Lord you will soon be empty in life—only joy is the key to keeping you connected to God. Joy is the engine of your destiny and once it is affected your life will experience breakdowns through and through, making the journey of your faith and life a burden.
‘Joy’ is Faith at another Level
Without joy you are as good as dead! Victory and life start with your joy. Trials and temptations are answerable to the spiritual force of joy. Rejoicing in the midst of trials and temptation takes faith. Counting “trials and temptations” as joy takes faith, too! Which means joy is the same as faith, but operating on a higher level. James 1:2 says, “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials.”
The Prophet of God Kenneth E. Hagin once said, “Temptations and Trials are not Joy.” that is why we count them joy. If they were joy already you wouldn't need to count them joy. Counting temptations and trials as joy is what makes joy the highest level of faith. Which means with you it does not matter how bad things look. You will still count them joy even when they look bad in your life! Habakkuk 3:17-18 says:
