That Your Joy Might Be Full

Focalization of Deity

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."
