That  Your  Joy  Might  Be  Full

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full

 

I doubt if there are many here tonight who would say that they have reached that point where their joy is full. Each one here has shared something of that joy, but there are still those parts or places in body and mind and heart where there is that which is not joy, that which does not give joy. But our Master said: "These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full."

It is God's desire, God's longing, that we should know the joy of the Lord. In another place the Master expressed it with respect to those who revealed themselves as good and faithful servants. "Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." How can we enter into the joy of the Lord and let it come into life in the fulness of that which is of the divine design?

It is in the fruit of our lives that we find satisfaction, that we begin to know the joy of the Lord. The Master indicated that it is through the Word, the Word of the Father, the Word of truth, that we may become clean. To purge is to cleanse, and we are to become clean through the Word of the Father, the Word of truth. We remember His word, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free"—free of those things which contaminate, free to enjoy the clean expression of life.

We recognize that from the standpoint of our healing ministry, if there is some ill condition the great need is that the body should become clean, and the cleansing must be carried out until the temple is clean. As the process of cleansing takes place the process of healing takes place.

"Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full."
