Down through the years, it seem when out of nowhere When The Joy of The Lord comes, 1st then afterwards A big trial comes.

I do not mean The Refreshing Oil, or The Anointing Oil for service and identification or illumination. Or “True Koinonia”.

Has anyone took notice of such occurrences? Is the Mark

Those who reply, it would be better if The Whole Written WORD of GOD. As one Book is recorded in their Brain and being, and no deceivers, as a whole so that their reverences are not drawn up as mortal thoughts and opinion.

I know many have not been through the “Dark Night of The Soul”. But they have a opinion.

Many have never had a “Beatific Vision” but they have a opinion.

I know many have not experience a “Theophany” but they have a opinion.

And I am not talking about “Dreams” or Biblical dreams.

Example: Many women have not had a baby but they have a opinion.

so this time I am referring to a “pure joy out of nowhere and you can be alone or in company.

Only one Portion of Scripture comes to mind: “The Joy of The Lord is my Strength”
And that frightens me.

Due to experience.
Reference:
“As I walk through The valley of The Shadow of Death thou are with me”, They ROD and Thy STAFF Comforts Me.

And this is nothing about fearing of dying or death! No relationship what’s so ever.

this reply may come from a person having faithfully following The Lord for at least over 40 years if possible and not a faithful church goer or a person who “Tithe” or believe in “Tithing”,should not reply.

PS. I have nothing against Church goers or Tither, you do with your money whatever you please. Makes no difference to me.

On this I have preference.

I have my own reasons for addressing it this way for responses.
Think before replying.

And please no “philosophical thoughts” or “Psychological thought patterns”
 
Hello @PloughBoy,

This has been my experience also, that joy is followed by trial, almost like a strengthening in preparation for what is to follow (ie., an equipping).

Praise God!

Thank you
In Christ Jesus
Chris
