There is no law that can stop you from having true joy. While happiness can disappear quickly especially in difficulties, your joy can be long lasting and has the potential to even increase in tough times. Joy looks past your circumstances and places your confidence in God that He has everything under control. It’s a blessing from God and it’s something that you choose to do and go after. Joy can be a remedy, an ointment for the troubles of your life. With a focus on God, you can live by the Law Of Joy: experiencing joy is a combination of blessing and choice.

From Series: "Laws Of Fruit"

Laws govern every major area and system of life. We have laws relating to justice, education, immigration, finance, and family. There are laws of aerodynamics, anatomy, physics, nature, and science. These and other laws communicate a grand design that has been created by a Divine Creator. The work of the Holy Spirit is no different. God has created orderly laws to govern and guide our lives. These laws are defined as the Fruits of the Spirit. Galatians 5:22-23 says; “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” Like many laws, the Laws of Fruit that are these fruits of the Spirit, cannot be rivaled or reimagined. There are no other laws that can counter this accepted and undisputed truth. Understanding and applying these laws is essential to your overall growth and pursuit of peace in this life. As we look at each fruit of the Spirit, showing the significance it has in your life, you’ll be able to come and see that living in light of these Laws Of Fruit will help you confront strongholds, rise above adversity, and honor God.
