S1E47 - Restore The Joy!

Getting Started With Jesus

Episode Notes

What did you experience when you first turned your life around and decided to become a real Christian? Can you remember the day when you said, ”Yes to Jesus Christ?” Well, if you’re like me, it probably was a great decision that had you off and running to tell everyone about the Good News! The goodness of the Lord brings joy, peace, direction, and blessings. His promises are true.

However, over time you may run out of gas and get tired. After all, once the trials, tribulations, tests, and temptations come into you surroundings, turning the other cheek can be a hard pill to swallow. We grow tired and weary from the demands and desires to live a holy, righteous lifestyle, and often wish that Satan would just leave us alone. Trust me, I really do understand how hard it can be. I have had my share of disappointments in the Christian community and beyond.

The journey to live according to God’s standards becomes more important once we make up our minds that His Way is the best option to follow. Sin haunts every Believer making the attempt to cause us to fall away from the truth and succumb to fear and failure. But don’t worry.

Because when you learn how to trust in the Lord, the Joy of your Salvation and Sanctification will keep you from giving in and giving over to the standards of this wicked world. Your Spiritual Growth and Maturity will become an important matter of your conscience and awareness in relationships, activities, environments, and experiences. Tonight’s show will encourage you to Restore the Joy of the wonderful life that you embraced when you accepted Jesus Christ.

And, if you are still unsure, make the move and really give God a chance to improve your life. At the end of the program, you’ll get to hear an old gospel tune by Andre Crouch called, “Take Me Back.” Yes, many saints need to go back and remember the time when they first believed. Maybe then the enthusiasm, boldness, excitement, and desire to serve in full capacity will return. Be Peaceful. May God Bless You and Heaven Smile Upon You!
