Today’s devotion is from Romans 15:13

Now may the God of hope [The expectation of good] fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope [The expectation of good] by the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Lord wants to fill every New Covenant believer with joy and peace in believing…

He wants us to abound to overflowing in hope. The Greek Word for hope is ‘ἐλπίς’ (elpís), which literally means ‘Expectation of good’. The Father wants us filled with joy, hope and abounding in the expectation of good by the power of the Holy Spirit. 

EXPECTATION OF GOOD, JOY AND PEACE ARE ESSENTIAL IN OUR WALK! 

Our lives are not supposed to be filled with stress and heaviness. Do not allow the devil to torment you with negativity, anger, and impatience. Joy, peace + expectation of good are all supernaturally available to us in the most challenging times.

Supernatural joy and peace in believing give supernatural, miracle strength, faith and ability in trying circumstances. The anointing on the joy and peace of the Lord destroys every work of darkness. 

GOD IS THE ONE WHO FILLS US WITH JOY & PEACE IN BELIEVING

True New Covenant joy and peace in believing are far more than emotions. They are part of the fruit of the Holy Spirit and come from the Lord. He is the One Who fills us with unshakable joy and peace in believing. Ask the Holy Spirit today to fill you with overflowing joy and peace in believing. 

MAINTAINING A JOYFUL, PEACE-FILLED ATTITUDE OF EXPECTATION BY FAITH…

The Lord is the One Who fills us with His joy and peace in believing, but we have to walk in it by grace through faith. We have to put on joy and peace by faith. Laugh at things by faith, say positive humorous things by faith. The bible says that the Lord sits in Heaven and laughs. Laughing is an act of faith when circumstantially there is nothing to laugh about.

When the pressure is on, take a day off, sleep late, go do something fun, stir up joy and laughter. Enter into His rest and peace by faith and as you do you will make room for the Lord in your situation. The bible says that we draw water from the wells of salvation with joy.  

Let’s read Romans 15:13 in The Passion Translation…

Now may God, the inspiration and fountain of hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in Him. And may the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life with His super-abundance until you radiate with hope!

Receive a fresh infilling of overflowing, uncontainable joy and perfect peace today. May the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life with His super-abundance until you radiate with hope, in Jesus Name!
