Bible Lessons with Jesus on New Testament Stories
Power to Preach
Sends disciples out two by two (Mt.10:1-10, and Luke 10:1-23)
24-Oct-2022
(Jesus speaking: ) When I sent out My children, those men whom I sent with a mission, it was with one goal in mind. I wanted to harvest all the lost souls, those around the world who were meant to be gathered into My Father’s house. 
The storm was coming and they would be lost in the rubble of the falling world system. Many, many, so many still needed to know that their Saviour had come, the one who had been foretold many years before. I tell things in advance so that people have time to get ready, and they can’t say that they didn’t know. 
Remember, getting out news around the world, on paper or written on skins of animals, translating it into the various languages, and taking it far and wide took a long time. Weather conditions and all sorts of things, like civil disorder, plagues and so forth, made messages take a long time to get out. 
I’m not just going to do something without letting as many people know as possible. Just like when you prepare a party, it’s not as fun if you just announce it the hour before it’s to take place, as not many people will show up. They’ll be busy here and there and so can’t come. So is it that I give time for news to spread around, and then the anticipation of the event can be part of the enjoyment as well. 
So I have been sending out My troupes to spread the good news for thousands of years. First I sent out 12 close companions to do the job, then I sent out 70 others to prepare the way for My coming into those towns and villages. I wanted to either be welcomed and accepted into their lives and hearts and homes, or for them to have made up their mind that they wanted nothing to do with Me. I didn’t want to show up and have them just be in a daze not knowing what to say or think, and thus not really making up their mind one way or the other. 
So it is with you who likewise have been called. Your job is to get people to know that I am coming, and that I want them to make a decision either for or against Me. Your job is to get the news out, and My job is to run and rule this world and all its people in a right and loving way; the way that makes this place a great place. 
But first the wickedness needs to be purged. All that is scumming things up. And I need you clean too. So hear from Me in prophecy while reading what I have written or had My servants and companions write down for you. Then you will be ready in heart and mind for the big take over. 
And like I told My close ones, that the fact that they had power over other rulers wasn’t what they should be all so happy about. Just being in power wasn’t going to keep them there. It was the fact that their names were on the list of members of the family of God. Be a member of My clan, and then you can rejoice, and so can I, because we can be together. Power and authority can get into your head and cause you to fall. But realising that you are one of My children, is something to be very glad about.

Feeding Thousands
5,000 fed  (Lk.9:10-17) 4,000 fed  (Mt.15:29-39)

25-Oct-2022 
(Jesus speaking: ) I fed the multitudes with only a little, just what I had on hand. And with this, many were made well, cured, and sustained for their journey home. 
Take care that you watch for the well being of those who come to you to be fed and nourished. If you think, and then say both in your heart and to those around you, that you haven’t got what it takes to feed them, and leave it at that, then things won’t go well, and many will perish for lack of victuals.
But if you are like My disciples, and come to Me, then I can bless what little you have. Then as you try to minster to those in need you will be able to bring satisfaction. Their hearts were satisfied with the Word of God, their bodies were made whole by the Spirit of God, but they still needed one thing more in order to go and use these jewels, these blessings they were given—the Word of God and a healed soul that could then tell others what they had heard and seen. They needed a personal touch of salvation; they needed to partake of the bread, that is to say, the body of Christ. It needed to be shared with all. And this can only be done when My followers are broken and aren’t selfish—just little humble “fish” to be likewise broken and given for the life of the many who follow Me.
People need a personal bit of loving care, whatever they personally need in order to carry on, and to carry the testimonies and gifts from Heaven to their families and those they interact with. 
It’s like the third part of the trinity—the loving, compassionate care in action. Different people have different needs and My true disciples go out and touch each one, a little here and a little there, to help people get enough strength to go out and live the lives they are meant to. 
Maybe not all can be a fulltime disciple in a dessert place, as they have a family to care for, or elderly parents to watch over. Or maybe they are to be the ones to bake the bread or do the fishing. But if they are given the light of truth, and then enabled with the Spirit of God to be healed and strengthened so they can do what they personally are called to do, all they need then is a bit of personal care, a touch of love, a gift from the hand of a fulltime disciple, to then carry on and fulfill their part of the plan.
It's like when the widows and their children weren’t getting what they needed, and then the disciples prayed for the seven men to be empowered to minister to the personal needs of these little ones and the lonely struggling adults. Doesn’t that sound like “seven loaves” to give nourishment—the seven who did just that. So if the “loaves” are like the men who had to be shared with many others, and endure breaking for it—just like Stephen, one of the seven, was broken and his life taken from him—who might the “few little fish” be? Maybe you. Something or someone who his taken out of their environment, who can no longer swim free, but is held in My hands and broken, and blessed, and handed to My disciples, to do with as they wish. Perhaps just like the fish helped to feed others and were something that the disciples could use to feed and nourish the many, perhaps the fish are like the women who too left all, and left the world, to be a help to the disciples, and to the multitude. And just like fish and water go together, the women were the ones to do the washing and water related activities. They were to wash the disciple’s feet, and to care for strangers too who needed a place to stay. They washed others, they drew the water from the well, they cooked and cleaned, and bathed little children. They held little ones in their belly who swam in water, just like a little fish nearly, until the baby was born. Water and women go together; just like heat, and baking and work outside in the field go together with the making of bread. 
Bread, just like men, have to be made through this and that experience. 
Fish, like unselfish women, leave their place of dwelling, to go and help others, and go along nicely with bread. 
Think of Rebecca who had to leave her family. And what did she do that showed she was a kind “fish” and not a “selfish” ? She drew the water out of the well to help the servant sent on a mission. And the women who left their homes and were away even from their husbands, to come and minister to Me and to My disciples, these were like sweet little fish, jumping out of the water of the world to bring some water and food and clothing and whatever we needed as we journeyed on. 
It was a water bearing servant that showed the disciples what house they were to go into to make things ready for the feast with Me. Even though in the story it was a man, still, the women can play a key role in carrying the water of life, the living water, the Words from paradise that will lead others to find their place of service to make things ready for Me. They can help to point the way with the water or the Words from Heaven that they carry, so My disciples know where to be doing what they are told to do. And then they too can enter into the private place with Me and hear what I have to say to them. 
And when they got into that upper room for our last supper, what did I give them? Bread and what? Wine. So there is a time for water, and those who follow and take secret time with Me then get the wine from Heaven. The love from Heaven. The joy from paradise. There are so many paralells to your life there. 
Isn’t that what I did at the wedding feast in Cana of Galilee? First was the water, then the wine—after they had obeyed and did the simple, humble task to minister to the needs of others. They weren’t drinking jugs that were filled, but pots for washing. 
“Is He going to wash all these people who are dancing and drinking and carrying on at this feast?” some might have thought. But it was a symbol of the baptism, being cleansed and healed, and given the fresh Word of God. Just like those 4,000 people with Me and My disciples came to hear the Word of Heaven, and were cleansed and healed. Then they needed the loving ministering to strengthen them and to fuel them to do the traveling and sharing the good news. 
So after the filling of the water pots and giving it out, then it was made into wine. That was like a perk. A bit of love and joy from Heaven to give to these people the wine they thirsted for. So wine is like that which gives you health and happiness of heart, not just the needed water for survival. It’s something special from Heaven as a blessing for obeying. A touch of Heaven after you have ministered to others with the water of the Word, and water of loving carrying service. When Heaven’s ministers come, they bring wine, the best wine.
Remember, both the 5,000 and the 4,000 who were fed miraculously that day had to obey too. They had to sit down, to be in groups and orderly, they had to follow the command I gave them. Then they were blessed with personal nourishment at the giving hands of disciples sharing with them. But they weren’t to stay there forever just sitting and eating. It was just like getting fuel in a tank before driving on a trip. They were fueled with a loving touch and personal gift, which enabled them to go out and spread the good news.

Walking on the Water
Walking on sea, and boat to land   (Jn.6:15-29) Jesus & Peter walking on water (Mt.14:22-34)

27-Oct-2022
(Jesus speaking: ) When I was walking on the sea, what do you think I was thinking about? You, of course. All of the lost who were in the world. Those without hope; those stranded and who are unable to get into the boat, like the ark, of salvation. 
What does it take for someone to make it through the storms of their life, and all that tries to stop them from entering into a place of rest, along with others who know and love Me? It always takes a miracle. A miracle of faith to walk towards Me, just like I had to walk towards that boat no matter what was going on around Me, or under Me, or above Me. I was surrounded with disaster and trouble. But just like I was determined to cross that sea to the other side, so do those who need the gospel have to keep on taking one impossible step after the next, to reach a place of redemption. 
Everything screams “don’t do it! Don’t try the Jesus route. There’s a better way. Just wait it out on the land.” 
But just like the boat was on the move, so am I. I have a mission to accomplish, a goal to reach, and those who linger will only have a whole lot further to go to reach the boat of salvation. They will need miracle after miracle to get them to the point of rest, where they leave the waves of this world’s ways, and enter into a rest in the boat of salvation. 
Come unto Me, I say, as I did to Peter who also wanted to walk on the waves to reach Me. Come, and I will buoy you up. Come unto Me and I will give you rest. Not just a mere rest of body, but a place to call home and a warm embrace that will last for eternity. 
So come, I say, though it cost you a time of difficulty to reach the boat that is there. Take the God route, the miracle way, the opposite from what everyone thinks will work. The God route seldom looks “doable” or “right”. But just take a step of faith, followed by yet another. I will keep through the storm those who want to find a place of refuge and have turned their eyes off of the world, like the land, and have walked through the storm to find a place of true rest. 
I love you sweet treasure, you will always be Mine. 
Yours forever, Jesus

5-Nov-2022 
(Jesus speaking: ) Even though I, Jesus, was the Son of God, I didn’t have wings to fly first to this place, and then to another. I had to use My body much in the same way that you do—getting around with My own two feet. But I didn’t have the transportation methods and availability that you do. 
If the only boat I had to go on over the sea was out in the middle of the water, I had to get there somehow. I couldn’t fly like an angel. Well, of course angels could have picked Me up and plopped me right onto the boat. But that wouldn’t have shown as much faith as stepping out on the water and trusting My Heavenly Father to hold Me up above the wild waves, and walk upright through the fierce wind, and doing so in the darkness of the night lighted by the angry flashes of lightning. 
On the sea I walked, being upheld miraculously. But that wasn’t the only miracle that it took to get Me to the boat, the boat also had to be protected in the storm, and that was no easy feat. No human could keep that boat load of passengers safe, as it seemed even nature, wild nature, wanted to stop them and overturn that precious load trying to make it courageously over the water. There was nothing they could do to control the weather and the waves. Rowing the boat wasn’t working, as the wind was against their best efforts. They needed help, desperately. 
Even if they were trying to do what I, Jesus, had asked them—“Go by ship to the other side,”—it took much loving intervention and invisible angelic help to make it possible for them to do whatever they were asked. The enemy of truth, and faith, and love, was doing all in his power to stop these faithful followers of Mine. But I defied the lie that said there was no one who could help them now, that they were stuck in a sea of tribulation and wouldn’t make it to their destination. 
I, God’s representative, walked over bringing the Spirit of God with Me, to both get Me across safely, as well as My team, if they had faith. And so into the boat I went. And that is when something amazing and special did occur. The boat that these men had been so laboriously rowing, suddenly was at the other side of the water, right at the land’s edge. Imagine if you had been rowing hard for hours in the night, not resting, and it seems you’ll have to keep going for hours more, and then all of a sudden your boat is at the land and you can rest a bit before the day dawns?
When you do what you can or what you should, then special miracles can occur to bless you for your God-loving efforts.

Good Ground
Sower (Mt.13:1-23; Lk.8:5-15)

27-Oct-2022
(Jesus speaking: ) Hear now the parable of the sower, in terms I want you to notice:
First of all, when the Word is sown to you, please don’t block your ears, wishing that you didn’t hear what you just heard Me say; knowing that if you hear it, that you are expected to be doing something about it. And that can hurt. Doing a job isn’t easy, and will cost you lots in the end. But that is because it’s really, really important that you do it. It’s so important that the enemy will pull out all kinds of tricks and temptation to get you to throw down the Bible and My Word both of counsel as well as personal inspiration that enable you to do the job I sent you there to do. 
But don’t give in, because the moment you do, the moment your grasp weakens in holding on the Word I have sown in you, in your clay vessel, that is when the swift and clever fingers of the enemy are there to tug it out of your hands and scurry it away. He doesn’t want you to hold the Word of God, as it tells how to defeat him.
If you knew that someone close by had the plans in their hands how to demolish your house, wouldn’t you try to take it away as soon as they were careless. And then before they could think much about the stolen document that was to defeat you and drive you out, you suddenly distracted them with something else, and after that, something else, until they forgot all about what they were set out to do. 
So it is with the enemy of your souls, he sees what I have given you. But that is only part one. There are many other parts to the plans that I wish to give you that will demolish and defeat and drive out the one who’s looking out for your demise. 
Hold tight to the Word of God, read it well, memorise it so you can carry the plans out by heart when I say to do it. Don’t get distracted and loosen your grasp on what I gave to you. Be looking at it and what it says to do, so intently that you hardly give the enemy of your soul a glance. Okay?
Secondly:
Keep your heart soft for the needs of others. If you are so into “doing what God told me some time ago” you won’t have much compassion to help another one along in their journey. But if you will pause to show love and care, then rather than having to do everything on your own, you might have someone else who can help you as well, and time taken to care will be time gained, as four hands are better than two. 
Those who merely think they are building their house on a solid rock, might be surprised to find out that it’s merely rocky soil, and they themselves can’t stand the heat of the battle that is to come. Remember those who built on the rock had to first dig down deep. So sometimes you have to go through deep and difficult times before you can build up and do things right. First things might have had to be taken away, the soil and the little rocks, before you can get to the true solid Godly rock foundation. 
It might seem like you are losing ground for awhile while I am making you deeper, and not so shallow. But then you can build up. And when you build you are doing so with a tender and soft heart that hears the cries of others and takes them into your heart and home, in love. The stones are removed with the excavation of Heaven at work in your heart and mind. Then the rocks are turned to flesh, to people, to a home of hearts, not just a building made of rocks, sitting on a pile of rocks, but living souls that really care. Deep souls that can stand the troubles that hit their home, because they have already been through tough times and it has made them stronger. They know that love really is the best building element to make a home and house out of. And when the rain turns to rocks, that is to say, it is hailing troubles, because you have dared to dig down deep enough and create something that has lasting strength to it, it might create a mess of things on the outside, but inside your family will be sitting snug and warm and dry. 
Song of Solomon 8:7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.
[ALL YOUR THINGS, YOUR SUBSTANCE, IS SUCH A SMALL THING COMPARED TO THE WORTH OF LOVE. YOU CAN’T BUY LOVE; AND NO FLOOD AND STORM CAN STOP TRUE LOVE.]

Thirdly:
 Watch out for weeds that appear as growth. It looks like something is growing at last, and your garden is filling out with something new and interesting. Just because it is growing—like a family business—doesn’t mean it’s not actually taking away the things of actual value. Be careful what you allow to encroach upon your time, for it might eat up the land that you need to be growing things of value on. Just like land has borders, so does life have limits to how long you have to do things. 
Take out the weeds of deeds that aren’t bearing fruit, actual fruit that really will nourish you and provide what you and your family needs. And fruit that will last, that will keep producing seed that grows yet more fruit with seeds, that can keep on living and growing. 
Some plants only give forth fruit once, and then they die. But if your fruit remains, and the plants, the works of your life, produce something that can keep on going, and going, then it’s “fruitful”. It has a lasting element to it. 
So is what you are doing today going to enable you and your loved ones to keep doing something good tomorrow, because of what you do now? That is “lasting fruit”. 
***
5-Nov-2022
(Jesus speaking: ) When a sower went out to sow, some seeds fell on stony or hard ground, other seeds fell where weeds and thorns were growing, but these wouldn’t grow right, because they didn’t have the soil nutrients that they needed. Only those seeds that were on the good ground would flourish and bear fruit. 
What is your heart like when it hears something new from Jesus? Do you push it away as if it’s not true? Or perhaps you like what Jesus tells you, but only until someone else mocks it and tells you it’s not true, and perhaps even punishes you for believing such a doctrine. Or are you much too busy thinking about the things of the world and the things you wish to get, that there is little time to actually think about, and much less do anything about what Jesus told you?—So there was little good in even listening, as your life and heart are trying to please the world most of all. 
Or is your heart more like a soft and well-kept garden, where fowls of doubt are chased off, rocks are removed from the upturned, and well-watered soil, weeds are pulled, and the sun and rain can help the seeds grow?
When I, Jesus, speak to you, do you listen, receive, remember and then do something to take action? This is good. Then your heart is ready for the really special messages and truths that I want to tell you, because they won’t be lost, but cherished and will cause good to come into your heart. And when your heart is filled with the good fruits of My loving Holy Spirit you can then nourish and help many others.
It doesn’t mean that a good heart and good ground for My seeds to grow in, the seeds of faith and life and joy, means that only good things will happen to you. But it means that you are doing good for My Kingdom, and thus you will be blessed in numerous ways, receiving all the good things that I want to bestow to each of My dear followers who love Me and wish to please Me.

See, Hear, Talk
Deaf and dumb man  (Mk.7:31-37) Bartimaeus  (Mk.10:46-52)

(Jesus speaking: ) Many people wanted to follow Me, for they saw something was happening, something big was sweeping through. But not too many were willing to give up everything and be a fulltime follower. Sort of like just going to a restaurant for a one time meal and being satisfied, or being part of the work force that gets the food from the farmers and brings it to the place that will enable others to be fed, at any time of any day. It’s the difference between just enjoying the gift, or labouring to share the gifts. 
This is what My team of constant followers did. They were part of the gift giving team, not just being on the receiving end. But there were some followers who did receive a gift, a big gift, a gift that could enable them to live a normal life like the other, and make a living and have a family, yet they chose to givers instead. 
A blindman who had the faith to receive sight, then put feet to his faith and followed after Me once he was healed. He cast off his old garment, left the old place he used to sit to be given to, and walked away from that the instant he was enabled to. He wanted Me, not just the gift to enable him to do whatever he thought up. 
Others, when they received the gift of ability to live normally, used it to make themselves famous. They told everyone about the miracle, and people came to see them and it made quite a stir. Things got difficult for Me, as the masses were moved to come and get what they wanted and needed, all at the same time, rather than waiting until I and My team made it to their village. There is a time to proclaim, and a time to humbly wait. 
People who make a big deal about something amazing that happened to them, rather than forsaking their old life and following Me, having given up everything in order to preach the gospel and help heal others too, sometimes can make a mess of things. It starts to be all about what people can get from God, rather than  what they are now responsible to give to God—primarily their time and life to be a fulltime follower.
Some people wish to spread the good news just to get famous and start followings of their own, missing the point of the miracle. I can’t force people to follow and love Me and forsake their old ways, but I can enable them to do so, if they will choose to. 
They could have followed Me, but many had to make the choice, as it was Me or those in charge of their religious freedom at that time. It was Me or them, and few, comparatively, were willing to turn their back on the established religion that had excluded Me entirely. Because those in charge of the religion at that time turned Me out and wanted to kill Me, then it made a separation. 
So being healed in a miraculous fashion meant they had to make a choice, to proclaim that I was the Messiah and to turn their back on the haters of the truth, or to stick with the system the way it was set up, and thus get glory for themselves. Kind of a mix of faiths, but not being all out for Me, for the only way to do it was to leave all else and follow Me. And that was the choice that each and every healed one had to make. And those who chose Me truly suffered for it. But tough choices are what make heroes out of you.
And what is a hero but someone who gives his life, reputation, safety and personal well being, comfort, and status in order to rescue those who the situation around them are oppressing and torturing, tormenting and crushing. 
My darlings who have left the masses in order to seek and to save the lost, and who suffer their own crown of thorns, and die on their own form of a cross, these are the true heroes. The glory bells sound in the Heavenlies every time a victory is won by those giving up their own life to live a new life, and be both reward and punished for it. You get both, but the honour and blessings of living a life of self sacrifice lasts the longest—as long as you keep giving Me your life, both here and now and in the long distant future. 
Take Me and I will take you. 
So do you want a miracle so you can help the Master of your life and do what He, what I, have called you to do? Or just the hand out so you can live life a bit more comfortably, and make people think about you a bit more often?
Remember, if I be lifted up, I will draw all men to Me. Do you really want to draw people to you? What can you give them? Can you give them eternal life? Can you heal their heart aches? No. Only I can do these things. So taking others to Me is the way to go.
Don’t get confused with preaching the gospel, or merely letting others know how great things have happened to you. Telling about miracles is a good first step to opening the eyes of the spiritually blind. But the real goal, the whole point of being made whole was to do as the lame man at the Beautiful gate did. He rose up, praised God, and entered in to the temple, like entering into the Kingdom of God, being part of My family. Being part of My family and walking with My followers is the way to help lead others to Me. 
If the disciples had just said, “It’s great, he can now walk! God is with us! Things are going to get better now. Just like the Romans are holding us in bondage, like a lame man unable to walk free, so will it be with us soon. This must be a sign that we will throw off their yoke soon!” 
But no, they proclaimed the truth, and led the thousands there to believe that I was who I said I was—their Messiah and Lord. They lifted Me up, and were punished for it by some, yet rewarded with so many souls coming under My leadership. They were then able to tug away from the false leaders who weren’t going to bring them to My feet, but only lure them closer so the leaders could reach into those poor struggling people’s pockets. 
Those who believed the miracle of the walking man was because the Saviour had really come, jumped on to My team, and away they went, and the world has never been the same since.

Heavenly Communication
Teaching to pray, Lord’s prayer (Mt.6:7-15; Lk.11:1-10) Publican & Pharisee praying (Lk.18:10-14)

5-Nov-2022 
(Jesus speaking: ) What is prayer, do you know? It’s quite likely that you don’t, because it’s so simple most people think it’s something entirely different. 
Let’s say what prayer is not:
--It’s not something that you do out of habit without really thinking about what you are saying or doing. But it takes focused concentration and letting your thoughts be led by something other than what is around you, or that you might naturally be led to think about.
--It’s not just going through the motions or saying this or that in a perfectly scripted way, like memorised lines. But rather thinking about the one you cherish more than any, and trying to speak in a way that will uplift them, and teach those who might be listening in on your prayer, a bit of what this Being is actually like; that through your words others will get to know a bit more of what God is like, and He will be cherished by others as well.
--Prayer is loving Me to the point of giving Me your time and focus, so we can talk about things that really matter to you, and I can tell you things that really matter to Me, even if they aren’t anything that you were previously thinking about. We can have a two-way conversation, and afterwards things will be different, for I can change and make things better for you and others. 
--Prayer is a life line to Heaven, where you can receive what you need to keep living and giving life to others. And while you are on the line to Heaven, that is to say talking to the King of the Universe, you will receive spiritual inspiration, like a battery that gets charged. While you take time in prayer, you not only receive the needed items or gifts from Heaven, but you also get recharged and strengthened so you can keep going stronger and faster.

Lazarus
Lazarus  (Jn.11:1-45)

(Jesus speaking: ) Have you ever had a friend, a true and good friend of yours die? I have. It’s not something you ever wish to have happen. But it does make you appreciate the friends and people that you still do have around you, or who make life easier for you in some way. 
When people go it can leave a great big gap in your heart or life, and that can be real tough, until you get that empty feeling filled up again with something new. 
Imagine all the holes that are made by all the people in the whole world passing away, suddenly and wonderfully getting filled up again with new joys. That is what it will be like in the world and realm to come. Death will be swallowed up in victory, and no more will the voice of mourning be heard in the new land where all wrongs are made right.
It will be like watching a video that is being played backwards and making all the mess disappear, and everything be all nice again. That is what is going to happen one day. It’s going to be one victory celebration after another, when all things begin to be put back together again, and all that is ugly is renewed and refreshed and made beautiful again. There will be so much to be thankful for. You’ll be new and feel new too, and won’t ever die. 
When My friend Lazarus died it was a solum and sad occasion, but one that brought greater victory in the end. Why? Because it made so many people hungry for the truth and wish for the glory of God to shine through the very awful moment. And it did! The people were ready to embrace a new reality, a new thing! Where the dead come back to life, and the tears of joy wash away the tears of mourning, and where faith springs up in full force where once there was dead hopes. 
So just as the true story of the resurrection of My friend Lazarus shows, that God is the God of life and can restore it anytime, so can anything that is dead or dying in your life—be it belief or your physical body—also be upstarted again in full force. 
How did you think Lazarus felt once he rose again by the power of the Holy Ghost? He felt he could run a race of a million miles. His heart was so glad to be reunited with his family, because it meant that I truly was the Messiah and the saviour of the world, and could do anything. And with that kind of power aiding and assisting him, so could he also be invincible, and do whatever he was empowered to do.
It won’t be long now until full joy will be yours, forever, for you  have trusted in My coming and will receive the joy of your salvation.
