Living in the Gospel of Joy w/ Justin Paul Abraham (Episode 182)

“There is a realm of joy in God that is so beyond anything that we’ve even begun to see.” - Justin Paul Abraham

When we live from the reality of our union with Jesus, we live as carriers of the Gospel of joy! In a time when humanity is longing for clear vision and sustained strength, we are invited to reveal the Good News of the Kingdom, where joy is both an unending fountain of strength and a giver of heaven’s eternal perspective. In this episode, Liz speaks with Justin Paul Abraham on the Gospel of joy and the lives we are able to live as we rest in our union with the Trinity. Jesus came on a joy assignment, anointed with the oil of joy (Hebrews 1). When we live enfolded in Jesus, we too are given access to the fullness of joy that He brings, and even in our moments of suffering, we are invited to hold fast to His invitation to rejoice, knowing that He is the restorer of all things.

In this moment in history, Jesus is bringing us back to the reality of the Gospel of Joy—the Good News for every person, in every circumstance. In our union with Jesus, we find access to the realm of the Kingdom filled with joy, more than we’ve even begun to tap into! Too often, we have an inaccurate picture of Christ as solemn, but Jesus was full of joy, so much so that it was misunderstood as drunkenness—His joy was overflowing! The reality of joy in our lives impacts many places, one of the greatest being the ability to transcend above the pressures of life and the circumstances that we face. Joy doesn’t deny our situations, it establishes a deeper awareness of the goodness of God in our lives—it allows us to live at a higher frequency, from a higher perspective. This is why it is essential that we create a culture within and around us that honors joy. We can’t allow our joy to be dictated by the culture around us, and like the Person of Joy—Jesus—we must live seated above that in the heavenly realms. In joy, we find strength, liberation, hope, healing, perspective, and communion with Christ. Today, let’s take time to re-engage the One who is joy within us, and live consciously aware of our union with Him!
