FULLNESS OF JOY VS HAPPINESS
There is only one atmosphere that creates fulness of joy and it in no way resembles happiness. Happiness is a counterfeit joy that is the best that the natural world can produce. It requires constant maintenance to remain in a state of happiness. One must constantly ignore pain and suffering of themselves and others and stay in a positive happy position at all times. When this becomes impossible often people will succumb to artificial happiness that brings them to a sudden crash when it wears off. A continual state of happiness requires, money, good health, no stress, good positive friends, and the appearance of a secure future.
These all seem good and acceptable, and even if they were maintained for a lifetime, at best, they all end at the grave. The reason being they are all connect your soul, your mind, will and emotion, to this temporary natural world. Your mind is exposed to the outside world every moment and the world is increasing in evil and wickedness at alarming rates. "the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people" Isaiah 60:2a In these dark days it is impossible to face reality and remain happy. The kingdom does not operate a a happy state of mind, but on fullness of joy! Joy is birthed in the spirit of a man who has learned the secret of staying in My presence until he can view the world from My perspective. "My Father shall arise upon you, and His glory shall be seen upon you". Isaiah 60:2b
Once you reach this place your view of the world makes everything very temporary and My world, the real world, replaces it. With the revelation of eternal love, and peace being not only a state of being but a literal place, fullness of joy quickly replaces happiness and consumes your inner man. No one ever wants to exchange fullness of joy for happiness after that. If you keep My commandments, you shall abide in My love; even as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love. These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. (John 15:10-11 You can no longer understand why people get happy over temporary plastic things, once you have tasted the eternal.
Before all chances of temporary happiness is gone, may I suggest you turn away from things that will temporarily make you happy and learn to spend time on eternal things, filling your spirit with joy that the grave has no effect on. My presence alone brings eternal fullness of joy!
