How to Have Joy in the Lord | Paul Washer Sermon Jam

Paul Washer teaches us what it means to have joy in the Lord, and how joy energizes obedience.
Watch full sermon here: • Four Pillars of Walkin...

[@SamuelGrubbs]

“Joy does not come from obedience [not my performance], but joy comes from God’s performance! And that joy from God’s perfect impeccable performance, that joy is what energizes our obedience!” AMENNNNNNN!!!! I love this so much!! My goodness we all need to be reminded of this over and over and over!!

[@chandlerblades1381]

Yes

[@richardmetz6032]

Yeah he's good one of my favorite Pastors Motivating and Encouraging have you listened to Voddie Bauchman or John MacArthur? I've been cycling through all three they have been doing it a long time and you can tell

joy energizes obedience

[@stephenhagen234]

Joy comes from being in God's presence, sensing Him and also as a fruit of the Holy Spirit! I enter into worship, focusing upon Him, not my problems or difficulties, then I open to Him and sense His joy in my heart and soul and SPIRIT!

[@spartankongcountry6799]

Even in my struggles, I can still know that God is faithful and can see everything in me.

[@astralscholar659]

"It's not obedience that causes joy (of God), but joy (of God) causes obedience" Thank you Brother. God Bless us all.

[@a.kamileon]

BINGO!

[@anniecontreras706]

Amen 🙏

[@TheSilverWolf9]

The Lord sent this at a very timely point in my life. He preceded it with a nudge this same day, too. He's a timely God. Thank You Jesus for shifting my way of think. Bless this preacher of Your truth.

[@louisebester1660]

Jesus is infinitely beautiful and excellent! ☺️😁😭. I listened to Paul’s sermons and got new birth 5 years ago. My whole life changed and it’s all because of Jesus’ unconditional love for sinners. I started to share Christ everywhere around Cape Town in South Africa and I am so thankful for His grace. Satan lies to us about how amazing Jesus truly is. If we knew how great Jesus is, how kind, tender and just and merciful we would die a thousand deaths for Him. He is worthy!

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Yielding to the Holy Spirit in everything

[@sylviayamamoto6491]

It’s easy to be joyful when we get good news . If our faith in God is real , we have the joy of the Lord in spite of a divorce even two times of breast cancer . The joy of the Lord is our strength . Let us continue to encourage one another while it is still day .

[@niyat8918]

"God has never failed, he won't fail with me!!!" Amen

[@beemer2869]

When I consider the pure joy of knowing Him, when I realise His greatness and Majesty in creation, when I realise how much He loves me, when I know He holds me when I fall, when I know He guides me. I know REAL joy, real comfort, real peace, real hope, real love. My heart weeps for those lost souls who don't have this. The Light of Christ deep within those who believe in Him is the greatest gift a person can have. It's free for all who seek. Wow!❤️

[@redpond77]

I really love bro Paul, but he scares me sometimes...🥺 Don't get me wrong, I believe what he preaches, he applies the appropriate force needed to the point he is making, it's just that very few preachers take God's Word as seriously as he does. And I truly appreciate him for that.

[@marylamb6063]

Fear is not of God. The one who fears is not perfected in the love of God. Paul Washer is not perfected in God's love. God did not give us a spirit of fear. Why why is Washer preaching fear? Because he is not perfected in the love of God.

[@marylamb6063]

@@soohapark6215 Yare can mean fear, but it can also mean honor: "On that day the LORD exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel; so that they revered (yare) him, just as they had revered (yare) Moses all the days of his life." Surely the Israelites weren't afraid of Moses. They respected him as well as Joshua. The ancient Hebrew is filled with words that can mean so many different things, just like the English language.

[@izzygidding7152]

That is so amazing. I love to hear this. I strive to take Gods word and holiness as seriously as Paul Washer.

[@chrisgraf1304]

Same here brother. Pastor Paul's passion and wisdom on his own experiences with God would be drastically different than a punter Christian starting out. Which may scare a new Christian starting out as he or she may not know how to relate.

[@arsengrigoryan8753]

Jud 1:23 says "Save some by pulling them out of the fire. Have loving-kindness for others but also fear them..." So, it’s OK, and thanks Paul, he preaches the WORD in a balanced way…💐

[@MajesticMe429]

Wonderful Message Preacher Paul.

[@hanktolsma8369]

The joy of the Lord is OUR strength. Keep preaching brother

[@michaeljohn2380]

God bless you brother Poul this message was very strengthening!

[@zaneallman]

I literally jumped up and down on my bed like a chimpanzee with joy listening to this!!! Jesus is. Jesus is. He is He is!!!!!

[@pennycapps3255]

AMEN & AMEN!!!’ I know exactly what you’re saying!!! That’s the blessings of knowing & having our LORD & SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST LIVING IN OUR HEARTS. That joy the world or nothing from the world can give . When we get to know him, & having a relationship with GOD , spend time in his word, to get to know him ❤ OH MAN ! THERES NOTHING IN THE WORLD CAN EVEN BEGIN TO COME CLOSE, I CANT EVEN BEGIN TO Express . I pray that people all over the world for their eyes to be open & come to know him except him for their personal savior before it’s too late. HE IS MORE REAL THAN THEY KNOW

[@pennycapps3255]

AMEN & AMEN!!!! ❤❤❤

[@TheMusicDiscoveryChannel]

I needed this so much right now! I almost lost my joy this week

[@user-mf2rs1fx9o]

Happy you didn't! Keep the faith

[@louisebester1660]

Imagine if the true church truly had this zeal and joy for Christ every day? Would be amazing 😅😅

[@elainecourtright6009]

I love the messages but I don’t like the background “music” because it sounds like word of faith, hypnotic noise. Very distracting.

[@rhondadaniels1659]

I love your passion of God and preaching his word! Thank you for this teaching. I've been confused about joy lately. My son and I are going through some rough times right now but I know God is in the fire with us! God Bless you Paul Washer! We need more preachers like you!

[@sawsanmin8249]

I go with Jesus everyday and everytime . I get (or)feel to glory and power , Holy Spirit. All on earth worship to *Jesus*. Because , Jesus said,John10:30-The Father and l are one .John14:6-no one goes to the Father except by me. We do to Baptist church idea. God bless to all .

[@SimonMackUK77]

Joy energises our obedience and faith. Absolutely. What is joy? Knowing yes knowing , that God is who He says He is by His undeniable actions in your life. I ve been a Christian just ten years I m not now 55 skateboarding dad of two and the Lord is using me right now to reach other s and His hand in my life is undeniable! God IS real and great x

That's dope and Father God is amazing!

May God bless and keep this man and his ministry! So based in truth and you can see his humility and love towards The Lord! May God raise up more like this guy. God CANNOT fail! It's not in His nature

[@Lonesoul9791]

PDW could preach all night and I’d still be there listening as the sun was coming up…

[@louisebester1660]

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but I have been through fire, trials and suffering, and Satan has attacked our family. But I can testify that Jesus’ joy, not my own, His love and joy and peace and strength are real and He gives these when we need it. But we need to believe Him for it and have faith, absolute confidence in Him. That’s when the power of God is most clearly displayed. He can do all things even when everyone around you tells you otherwise and that a situation is hopeless. He brings new life and compassion every morning! 😄🌝🥳🥳🥳

[@anacarlapichetticaliri4861]

He is so bold carrying the word of God. He is so famous yet so humble for the sake of letting his hearer see Christ alone in his weaknesses.

ELLA ARVELO I NEED THE HELP IN LORD

[@smokingcrab2290]

It's so hard for me not to put my faith in my performance, my efforts to maintain my relationship with God, how much or how little I do for God. Ultimately I know God has done it all and won the battle. But I can't NOT focus on the things I mentioned. I can't not focus on how I constantly fall short. I always feel bad to a degree. I'm worried if I think how I don't have to earn anything or do anything for God, I won't do anything at all.

[@joylynnmeadows3393]

The message stands alone. The music is distracting.

Lol “ I don’t care what’s in your heart.” I love how brazen he is sometimes.

[@shaunaleessnackidies]

I know this is 2 years old, but please don’t let anyone tell you about the comments on social media. Have someone for that. Someone else can do that by separating themselves from taking it personally and being kind and objective. Like you said, believe God’s Word over any other words. ❤ Keep up the great work!

[@MARICHRISTORINO]

thank you for the wonderful God words,,,Your testimony is milted my heart❤

[@statesrights01]

Love a preacher who is honest. His point about being depressed over bad news shows that Pastor Paul just isn't talking to sound smart, No.. He's talking from experience! Yep, going to be telling my brain and heart to "Shut up!" And... allowing God's word to work, and to build into my life And.. stop depending on my achievements and focus on God and what He says!

[@ljjdcm]

I love this guy now that he so powerfully preaches the gospel of Grace - focusing believers on the goodness of God and not on themselves; on the Spirit and not the flesh - which transforms our hearts.

Amen! The joy of the Lord is our strength! Nehemiah 8:9-12 "And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law." "Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength." "So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved." "And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them."

[@danjustthinking1188]

I have been searching and searching for this kind of content. I have been puzzled for a long time recognizing that the methodology of the world…(essentially advertising through fear, uncertainty and doubt) seems to be very similar to what I hear coming from the Christian teaching community today. The way of the Lord stands counter to the ways of the world. I know this and read about it in scripture. Why so much today about how things are just gonna get worse so hang on? Nobody knows this, things may get better. If this isn’t true how did mankind ever make it out of the dark ages? I do not find inspiration in the tactics of fear and prognostication of Armageddon in our midst. I’m just not that crazy though many would suspect me of just not being very spiritually mature. Seems to me instilling fear is exactly what the evil one would want to happen to Christians. Joy is a much better motivation and I think you’ve helped us see this. When I consider that my heart beats and each breath is a manifestation of God’s power and a gift of grace I know that I cannot make even this very basic and essential thing happen. I see then how can I make any truly good thing happen through my obedience? Of course I want to walk in step with Jesus, knowing who he is and what he is doing why wouldn’t I? It is crazy not to want to be like Jesus once you get a glimmer of his majesty, love, kindness and his great help to us for truly living not just hanging on. This is a great and powerful attraction not my ability to be good, that perception just separates people from me it does not draw others to Christ and so is idolizing self. Thank you for helping me see this. It’s so very easy to slide into the pit of self.

[@maryneil2123]

Needed to hear this today

[@paulrivalto1974]

Joy is a direct by-product of contentment! Yet, contentment is a learned aspect in the abiding in Christ. Philippians 4:11-13. 1 Timothy 6:6 says this: But godliness when accompanied by contentment is a means of great gain. That great gain spoken of Here is Joy! The greatest example of this dynamic is pictured in the account of Paul & Silas shackled to the floor of a dungeonesk room beneath a Philippian Jail. ( The Middle ). Then they were directly beneath a hole in the floor above themselves that served as the toilet for all of the inmates incarcerated there. I can't even imagine a worse place on this earth. Yet joy is not determined or effected by circumstance, unlike happiness. I can't imagine Paul or Silas being happy in that place. Yet, the joy they possessed in Christ caused them to break out in song and worship of the One that allowed them to be there in the first place. They were very much content with where God had them and their Joy overflowed to the whole Jail and the families of those there! For everyone got saved including their households! Hallelujah what a Lord and Savior we serve!

Boldness and zeal for Christ look scary to others I suppose. It’s just because so few burn with such passion and dedication for Jesus that when we see it, we get scared (not dread) but just awe for what Christ does for sinners. Jesus changes and saves and mightily use the worst of sinners for His glory.

[@mindyhutchison3189]

Great message - that music in the background was very distracting however.

[@rickybanks9024]

Joy of the Lord is my strength. David said God is my strength. The word says a man's strength is his glory. Jesus said for the wisdom of God saith the blood of all the prophets shall be required for that generation. Solomon said I am wisdom I am understanding I am strength. A man's wisdom is his strength. Within us. The wisdom of a man goes with a man. We store this treasure in our earthly vessel. Faith comes by the hearing of the word of God. 1 Peter 1.9 Receiving the end of your faith even the salvation of your souls. A man gets wisdom for his own soul.

[@ZuberryGee1]

Listen to what God says about you, not the vain things your heart says about you.
