Philippians 4:4                                    "We have a reason to rejoice"

Why do so many saints have a lemon look? If you are born again, you should rejoice!!!!

Many say happy hour is an hour spent at a bar....No it is an hour spent with the Lord!

* Rejoice if you are washed in the blood

The Devil can not make you lose JESUS! The Devil can not make you lose your joy!

* Born again

Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

* Baptized in spirit

Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.

Not full of gripping, or gossip but God's glory!

Some saints are like ballons...All blown up and full of hot air.

We need to rejoice.

* Bound for glory

Many are going places....If you are not saved you are going to Hell. Rejoice saints, we are going to be with Jesus.

* Rejoice if you walk in the Lord's blessings

For some the thrill is gone! For some the zeal is gone! If you lose your zeal you will lose the feel.

* Walking in his provision

Psalm 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd I shall not want.

Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

* Walking in his protection

He never sleeps nor slumbers. Always watching over me.

When they threw 3 in the fire the forth man was there..He was there, and he is here. When David went up against Goliath..He was there and he is here.

* Walking in his promises

Psalm 118:24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Put him in your heart and he will save you! Put him in your house, and you will have a home. Put him in your head, and he will make you wise.

* Rejoice if you worship with the brethren

Psalm 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.

* Together embracing the faith

Many attend worship without attention to worship!

* Together engaged in the fight

We are in a battle, not with each other!

II Timothy 4:7 Good fight isn't between married people

* Together enjoying the freedom

Psalm 32:11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

Real rejoicing comes by knowing Christ as your Lord and Savour!
