Misery or Joy of the Lord?

 
I've heard it said by Christians that we aren't supposed to be having a good time here, that we have a mission and having a good time enjoying things takes us away from that.
 
We're to bring heaven to earth, how is not having a good time heavenly? Every Christian should be having a good time. That's what a relationship with Christ gives you in the depth of your heart, a happiness and joy that blows minds.
 
Your joy and exuberance that just escapes from all of your pores as you enjoy God's creation and where He has placed you on this earth is a testimony to those watching.
 
Sack cloth and ashes are for those in mourning, and a way to beg or cajole by those that don't have an intimate relationship with their Father, not for those that know Him intimately.
 
When I see a miserable Christian that preaches to others that to be a good Christian you have to be a miserable Christian, I sometimes wonder if they know the real Christ in Christian.

So no, this country doesn't need the American Jesus™ that these fools talk about all the time, this country is in fact in dire, desperate need of the &q

A toxic world around us.

You want to know how toxic our world can be? I had a vision yesterday evening where a person was in their shower, they had the water on and were washing themselves all over with the water, just enjoying the moment, I then noticed that the water coming out of the shower wasn't water, it was actually many demons, and the person was just covering themselves with the demons, and rubbing demons all over their body, some even would get in their mouth. I couldn't believe the sight, and I didn't understand what it meant at the time. This morning, Jesus started to explain the vision to me. It was an example of how we are attacked by darkness. Sometimes we are totally clueless of how darkness is coming against us, we have done nothing, they simply are on an assignment and we are their target and we must be sensitive to this. Not paranoid, not walking in fear or looking for darkness behind every corner, simply being sensitive to it. The enemy does prowl around as well, we mus
