“Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Romans 15:13

Happiness usually comes with good news for most Christians. Unfortunately, this kind of happiness is short lived and the miseries of life will return shortly.

The Bible instructs believers to live with joy and peace regardless of your circumstances. 

This can only happen by submitting to the Holy Spirit who lives in all Christians.

The trials of life will impact every believer. They are ordained by God. 

The Holy Spirit will give a believer the peace that surpasses all understanding and joy in the midst of troubles.

Paul and Silas sang songs and rejoiced while in prison with chains and facing an unknown future. Then God created an earthquake and their chains fell off. The jailer was planning to take his life for disobeying orders but Paul persuaded him to not take this action. The jailer took Paul and Silas to his home. The jailer and all his family became believers and were baptized.

The Holy Spirit will fill a believer with the powerful attributes of Jesus. Ask by faith and receive the love, joy, peace, wisdom and protection of Jesus. 

Jesus suffered in his life but was always one with His Father. We walk by faith living in oneness with Jesus anchored to the Holy Spirit. 

The promise from Jesus who offers unconditional love and eternal glory to a believer is after you have suffered a while He will perfect, establish, strengthen and settle a believer.
