Text: Luke 2:10, Matthew 2:10
Joy is a word that brings laughter, great pleasure, delight and euphoria. We would normally think it should be based on happenings around us. But it is the full package and experience that comes with knowing the Holy Spirit. Joy is not a function of our present experiences or situations; it’s a fruit of the Spirit.
Joy Unspeakable is a joy inexpressible, beyond description, incapable of expressing in words. Joy unspeakable indicates great Joy. God desire for us is to experience this as a continuum.
The Joy of the Lord is what gives us strength to live out the life of Jesus boldly. Joy unspeakable is a deep experience that encompasses our Soul, Spirit and Body.
When the wise men saw His Star they rejoiced with exceeding great Joy, because the solution for humanity and reconciliation to God had been born.
Joy unspeakable is an expression of deep indescribable euphoria of the Love of God to us all
