UNSTOPPABLE JOY!

You are destined to repeat the history of your life until you reform the history of your mind. It’s vital to our lives and to our future that we learn to rehearse God’s principles of Truth. Focusing on the joy of the Lord in your life will transform your world. A smile is an attractive invitation for others to participate in whatever it is that brings you joy. Joy is contagious!
To effectively walk this out we must understand our soul. We are body, soul and spirit.
Gen 2:7 And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. (ASV)
“Soul” is the Hebrew word “Nephesh” and also translates as mind, appetite, desire & emotion.
1 Pet 2:11 I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul. NAS
Obviously the body is not the soul as there is a tension between the body and the soul. To give in to the body is to war against the soul.
Heb 4:12 Teaches us clearly that the Word of God divides soul from spirit so clearly the spirit is not the soul.
The soul is distinctly different from the spirit or body. A person’s soul is likened to a computer’s processor. What you input through your soul gets processed into your life.
As a man thinks in his heart so is he – Prov 23:7. Obviously you have a thinking heart and this is not just a brain issue. Your powerful heart wraps it’s passion around what it dwells upon and your soul becomes entangled.
3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. NAS
You will prosper just as your soul prospers. If we can figure out how to prosper our souls we’ve discovered a key to which Jesus refers in Matt 16 when He said he gives us keys. This is one of those keys to unlock another dimension of life.
Ps 103:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord o my mind!
It’s easy to change your mind.  You just need information.  We change our minds all the time. In route to a restaurant and you hear a commercial, see a billboard and have a conversation about an alternative. Adding information to the already made decision changes your mind.
We truly are fearfully and wonderfully made!!!
