"We write this to make our 'JOY' complete. This is the message we have heard from HIM and declare to you: GOD is light; in HIM there is no darkness at all.  If we claim to have fellowship with HIM yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as HE is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of JESUS, HIS SON, purifies us from all sin.  If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.  If we confess our sins, HE is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.  If we claim we have not sinned, we make HIM out to be a liar and HIS word has no place in our lives."
1 John 1:4-10

Today, being Monday, the first busy day of your week, we pray that you get your 'JOY' ON and praise the LORD with us, the whole week long!

It has been said about sin - The devil will try to continually remind you of your past sins.

Have you ever smelled the presence of the devil?  At times it is almost as though you can smell his breath, just as if he was breathing down your neck!  It is his delight for you to live in condemnation of your past, of years ago, months ago and even yesterday.  

If you allow your heart and thoughts to condemn you, you lower your head in shame and punish yourself for your personal failures.  You have to face the accuser and his tricks he uses to try to put your life in a dumpster.  Have you ever smelled the contents of a dumpster on a hot day after it has been sitting for a few days in the sun?

Whoa!

You don't want to live according to the dumpster life, nor do you have to!  You can make a choice to reject his tricks and schemes against you.  When the devil brings up your past, remind him of his future!  Climb out of the dumpster!  Climb out in the Name of JESUS!  There is nothing in that dumpster life for you, no peace, health, provision or 'JOY'.  Today and everyday, live your life in the 'JOY' of the LORD!
