So what does it mean to exceed joy? It means a person that was raised above joy and it relates to a person that is extraordinary. There is none like those that can exceed joy. The one that surpassed everything and everyone due to it being the will of God for us to do so, for his divine purpose and glory.
'The mirth of the wicked is brief, joy of the godless lasts but a moment'. Job 20:5 Who are the godless to do with in the biblical texts? Obama and his supporters. The joy of the Obama supporters did not last for long did it. Their joy was as transient as those that built their houses on sand, just like Obama did.
In Isaiah chapter 16, it is written:
"Joy and gladness are taken away from the orchards; no one sings or shouts in the vineyards; no one treads out wine at the presses, for I have put an end to the shouting. My heart laments for Moab like a harp". A Christian as made a video of how Moab relates to the USA, and he relates it to abortion. The throwaway society, like throwing a baby on a scrap heap. During the election, Obama spoke of an unplanned pregnancy as a 'punishment' that he did not wish for his children to endure.
Goodness gracious me, a child is the supreme joy of human life. Time for Obama and his followers to look at their values deeply.
Yesterday, we were discussing 'No more trophy hunting' and many Americans were proud of their hunting, and freezers filled with elk and venison. So what does the bible say about that?
"See, there is joy and revelry, slaughtering of cattle and killing of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine! “Let us eat and drink,” you say, “for tomorrow we die!” Isaiah 22:13
Prophet Ezekiel also spoke of it. “And you, son of man, on the day I take away their stronghold, their joy and glory, the delight of their eyes, their heart’s desire, and their sons and daughters as well" Eze 24:25
"The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.” Luke 10:17
The only true spiritual joy is the joy in the LORD. 'Then you will find your joy in the LORD, and I will cause you to ride in triumph on the heights of the land and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob.” For the mouth of the LORD has spoken. Isaiah 58:14
I was blessed to ride in triumph on the heights of the land of Israel, and feast on the inheritance that I had been honored to receive. All part of fulfilling the biblical prophecies in his name. Five weeks of walking and riding through Israel, from the North to the South, from the West to the East.
However, the bible tells you that the LORD loves ZION more than Israel.
"Provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor." Isaiah 61:3
What is the oil of joy? One can view it in different ways. One way of viewing it is the aromatherapy oils that are used in Indian head massage. Have I received Indian head massage? Yes, during and after the bereavement of my mother, one of our healing practitioners and I exchanged head massages with aromatherapy oils. This is also a healing discipline that benefits the people.
In the past students said 'Your work exceeded all of our expectations'. To exceed is to be greater in scope or size, beyond existing standards.
Two days ago, the LORD God said to me 'You are everything that they had hoped for, you are like me'.
So what do have on the 'oaks of righteousness?'
The Love Union, the divine vision and brief that we received in 2004.
