Philippians 4:4 (KJV) Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice.

It is time to rejoice in the Lord! The apostle Paul tells us to rejoice in the Lord always!

Let’s shout aloud His Praises! It is time to Glory in the Lord! Don’t be sad for the joy of the Lord is your strength! God wants his people to rejoice and be thankful in the Lord!

It’s time for some to stop being so doomy and gloomy! Some need a baptism of love! Let’s be filled with his love, joy and peace!

Is there anybody else out there who wants to give God your highest praise? Is there anybody else out there that’s wants to rejoice in the Lord always?

I will praise and honor Him for all His has done is doing in me and for me! He is marvelous! The joy of the Lord is truly our strength, I'm finding I don't "let" others aggravate me, they don't have that ability anymore because I'm loving THEM as I love Him!! He is amazing!! This is a totally new walk for me and I'm enjoying Jesus more and more everyday and I'm smiling a whole LOT more!! Praise His holy name!!

It is easy to rejoice in the Lord when the sun is shining and when we are not being buffeted with the winds of adversity. The true test comes when we find ourselves in the storm or in the midnight hour when there is no visible evidence of God’s presence. It is times like this when we are faced with the choice of either sinking down in defeat in self pity or rising up with praise and Thanksgiving to the Lord. Adverse circumstances, darkness and trial cannot defeat the child of God that knows how to enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise.


“And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.” (Acts 16:25,26)

Praise and Thanksgiving changes the atmosphere!

I will bless the Lord
His praise will continually be in my mouth
He has blessed me with every spiritual blessing!
We are blessed to succeed in matters of the Kingdom
God is for us
Who can be against us?

We are the Church
We are one new man
We are not divided
We are one!
We are not our own enemy
We are family
We are one
We are the Kingdom and we are the Church
We will be wise stewards
Of the mysteries of God

I take my responsibility
To do my part
To contribute to the purposes of God
And to the Church of Jesus Christ

I am brand new in Jesus
I put away the old man
I put away his lusts
I put away the deceit
I put away ungodly beliefs
And I take up the new man

I am a new creation
I am created by God in righteousness and holiness of the truth
I will be filled with the Spirit
I will sing the melodies of the Lord
I will give thanks
I will not complain
I will fill the atmospheres with the praises of my God
Wherever I go, God goes.
Wherever I go, I change the equation.

We are the Church
We are filled with fire!
We are the servants of the living God
Jesus Christ is King!
Jesus Christ is Lord!

Amen sister and brothers!

Rejoicing and praising God in the midst of all trials and circumstances is the greatest benefit to the christian!

This is the secret that Paul learn and all through the trials he went through...he still rejoiced in the Lord!

The joy of the Lord is your strength to carry on through all of life's adversities!

Jesus wanted our Joy to be full...the apostles wanted our joy to be full...so I say again rejoice in the Lord always!

John 15:11 (KJV)
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

John 16:33 (KJV)
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

John 16:24 (KJV)
24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

Acts 2:28 (KJV)
28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

Acts 13:52 (KJV)
52 And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.

Acts 20:24 (KJV)
24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

Romans 14:17 (KJV)
17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Romans 15:13 (KJV)
13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

1 John 1:4 (KJV)
4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

Just reading this refreshing thread makes me want to rejoice. I like Paul's prescription “Rejoice in the Lord always.” I know we all have been in some of the deepest valleys, I know losing a wife and a child as I have, is probably is the deepest and longest valleys a person could ever be in, but I have always found a way to rejoice in the valley. Like Paul said Rejoice Always, I take his prescription everyday, because people, even some Christians will find ways to try and steal your joy. Take Paul's advice, it works, it really does. Praise Jesus!

Based on Psalm 150

Praise the Lord of the morning
When the sun rises from its sleep
Praise the Lord for His excellent greatness
For His beauty makes me weep

Praise the Lord when the darkness falls
And the moon rises high above
Praise the Lord for His majestic glory
And His everlasting love

Praise the Lord in the winter
When the snow falls on the ground
Praise the Lord for His glorious presence
When we stand upon holy ground

Praise the Lord of the summer
When the days are warm and long
Praise the Lord for His magnificent splendor
And the saints shall sing a new song

Praise the Lord of the springtime
When the blossoms on the tree
Praise the Lord for His holiness
And for the Blood that set us free

Praise the Lord of the Autumn
When the leaves fall to the ground
Praise the Lord for His faithfulness
And that His grace abounds

Praise the Lord when your happy
And there's a smile upon your face
Praise the Lord for His mercy
And for His saving grace

Praise the Lord when you're in despair
And your pierced by a fiery dart
Praise the Lord for HIs loving kindness
That restores your broken heart

Praise the Lord with your last breath
As you lie upon your bed
Praise the Lord for His promises
To raise you from the dead

Praise the Lord for all eternity
As you gather around His throne
Praise the Lord for His incredible beauty
As you worship Him alone

Let trumpet, harp and timbrel praise
And dance before the King
Let all with breath praise the Lord
And with their voices sing

Hallelujah to the King of Kings
We worship and bow down
We sing to you forever more
And we will crown Him with many crowns .......bro Frank

All creation cries Holy, Holy, Holy and we join in high praises to the God of our salvation Jesus Christ our Lord.
