When something happens to us or to others, as the spiritual people, we would like to know why, how, what for and who did it. Normally we expect everything from the following three potential sources: God, human being and Satan. Often we are open to a possibility of a combination of all the above. I personally think that, that is the case most of the times. The bible reveilles that there are only two forces out there behind everything you see and feel. God who is a good power and Satan who is an evil power. A human being only chooses which power to submit to. The fact that humanity exists is due to the good power. The fact that humanity is the way it is, is due to both good and evil forces. We are not going to go back as far as to answer where these forces come from because I don’t think anyone can explain that. But it does not take much to know that this is how it is and this is what the word of God teaches us.

The joy of the Lord is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10
Being joyful brings opportunities, solutions, healing, victories and much more good. Jesus is our joy and our strength.
Satan knows that taking away your excitement is a good place to start from his destructive activities. Don’t think twice before rebuking the enemy who comes for your joy.
It is relatively easy to keep your joy when things are going well. But it is more noble, rewarding and praiseworthy when a believer remain to be joyful in the face of all odds which also touches God’s heart and unlocks the supernatural.
God wants you to get the most out of your life. The only way you can do it is by managing to live in the present time. We are either being pulled back to the past or pushed in to the future. Satan wants you to feel guilty about your past and worry about your future instead of giving it onto the Lord. King David said the following. “I saw the Lord always before me” Acts 2:25.

Psalm 110.
Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.
We all have a lot of enemies to deal with. I don’t mean the human beings. We should see every human being as our brother and sister and friend. Forgive them, love them and pray for them. Demons are our real enemies. Yes at times they do use other people to attack us through. Regardless of what form or shape the attack comes in, the best way to fight any enemy is by sitting at the right hand of God.
