TEST ME. RETURN TO ME and MY WAYS - Taste that I AM a Good God

Deuteronomy 30: 1-10 (NKJV)

The Blessing of Returning to God

30 “Now it shall come to pass, when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where the Lord your God drives you, 2 and you return to the Lord your God and obey His voice, according to all that I command you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul, 3 that the Lord your God will bring you back from captivity, and have compassion on you, and gather you again from all the nations where the Lord your God has scattered you. 

The PRESENT CULTURE of CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS needs changing.

Many of us seek happiness and joy in the P's: people, parties, pints (liquor), puffs (smoking), pounds & pennies (money), passion (sex), Porches (cars)., photo shoots (external beauty) etc.

Happiness is more circumstantial and momentarily. Happiness is a feeling we experience when we find ourselves in good circumstances, having a good time in a good place and at a good time.

RESTORATION of OUR STOLEN JOY by Brenda Thomas

One of the first things the enemy will try to steal from us is our joy. He wants to get us sad, sorrowful, and oppressed. Remember what it was like when you first were saved? There was joy unspeakable. God doesn’t want us to lose that joy! Nehemiah 8:10 tells us, “The JOY of the Lord is your strength.” It is important for Christians to have joy in their life! If you don’t have joy, you don’t have any strength.
