I discover when our hearts are filled with the work of the Spirit and Word then to be grateful and joyful is not a difficult thing to do. It is like “flowing water” that just radiates within us that is expressed from our words and body language.

The eyes of our hearts become easy to see the little things to the big ones that God has done in our lives. Even we can see “God’s existence” at the moment we have to go through “the valley of death”. We can feel that He is a faithful God to guide us and turn around all the negative data and facts to bring us goodness.

I realize that to enjoy heaven on earth is not a difficult thing for us who love Him and called according to His plans, we need only to focus to build the work of the Spirit and Word inside. Make sure our spirit is still on fire and never surrender to the circumstances that want to make our spirits died out.

Get rid of all forms of inner conflicts, negative thoughts and bad speech. Replace them all with thoughts about love and His Word, thus our ‘spiritual atmosphere’ becomes healthy!

Philippians 4:8 (TLB) : And now, brothers, as I close this letter, let me say this one more thing: Fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely, and dwell on the fine, good things in others. Think about all you can praise God for and be glad about.

Romans 8: 28 (TSI Translation) : Now we can be sure that for all of us who love Him, God always arranges all things that we experience and face, so that these things produce goodness. Because we are the people He has chosen according to His plan.

Keep on believing that living in God accordingly is full of joy, gratitude and peace! If there is one thing or another that wants to pull us out of such an ‘atmosphere of life’, our part is to FIRMLY REFUSE!

Don’t hesitate to fight the numerous spirits of the world that want to influence us. Fight to the end by praying in tongues in such a way until we receive the Word. Say the Word as a weapon to cast out the spirits of the world there are.
