Ways To Be Happy

1) Happy People Trust In The Lord Jesus

     The first way to be happy is to trust in the Lord Jesus. Happy people believe that Jesus is God and worship Jesus. Notice that whenever you see the word blessed in the bible it means happy in Hebrew. Psalm 84:12 says O Lord of hosts, blessed (happy) is the man that trusteth in thee. According to this bible verse, you'll be blessed and happy when you get saved and decide to trust in the Lord Jesus. Right now get saved and be happy with peace. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. 

     Notice the following bible verses that promise happiness when Jesus is your God. Psalm 144:15 says Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord. According to Hebrews 1:8 Jesus is God that says But unto the Son (Jesus) He (The Father) saith, Thy throne, O God (The Father called Jesus God), is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. And according to Isaiah 26:3 when Jesus is your God, Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee (the Lord Jesus): because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength. 

     Remember happiness and joy with Jesus will overcome fear. The opposite of fear is faith in the Lord Jesus with happiness. Psalm 56:3 says What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee (Lord Jesus). And after you trust in the Lord Jesus, you'll receive happiness and joy that will give you strength to survive because Nehemiah 8:10 promises that the joy of the Lord is your strength. 

      Remember faith in the Lord Jesus will overcome fear. When you are afraid, by faith look with your heart at Jesus Christ crucified that is perfect love and fear will disappear. 1 John 4:18 says There is no fear in love; but perfect love (looking daily with your heart to Jesus Christ crucified who is perfect) casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Words For Happiness Is The Lord

Happiness is to know the Saviour; Living a life within His favor

Having a change in my behavior; Happiness is the Lord

Happiness is a new creation; Jesus and me in close relation

Having a part in His salvation; Happiness is the Lord

Real joy is mine no matter if the tear drops start

I've found the secret; It's Jesus in my heart

Happiness is to be forgiven; Living a life that's worth the living

Taking a trip that leads to heaven; Happiness is the Lord

Be Happy Like Granny Pictured Above Who Trusts In The Lord Jesus

Remember One Person Plus Jesus Equals Victory Over Any Problem

     Granny pictured above lived in Kingsport, Tennessee and was happy. Granny never left Tennessee and every day she sat in a rocking chair on her porch and knitted quilts while she read her bible and praised the Lord Jesus. Granny ate baked chicken, fish, and cornbread every day and enjoyed the clean air and clean water. Granny wasn't a millionaire and didn't travel everywhere, but Granny was happy and had Jesus. Like Granny all you need is a blessed little home with Jesus to be happy. 

     The following scriptures prove that you can be like Granny and happy with Jesus and a blessed little home. Proverbs 15:17 says Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. Proverbs 17:1 says Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife. Like Granny, Brother Bob left millions of dollars and is happy with Jesus in a poor little apartment writing these stories on preachbrotherbob to bless people all over this earth with great peace and happiness. 

Ways To Be Happy

2) Happy People Daily Read And Memorize The Word Of God

     The second way to be happy is to daily read and memorize the Word Of God. James 1:25 says But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, (daily reads and memorizes God's Word), he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed (happy) in his deed. Don't just say I'll read the bible tomorrow; Be a doer and get happy and read the bible today. Jesus said at John 13:17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. Jeremiah 15:16 says Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy Word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts. Finally Psalm 119:16 says I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy Word.

     Here's some more scriptures that promise happiness and delight when we daily read, listen to, and memorize the Word of God. Psalm 119:24 says Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy Word. Psalm 1 promises if you daily meditate on the Word of God, you will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. In other words, you'll be happy with strength when you wake up early each day and delight yourself in reading and studying the bible. 

Ways To Be Happy

3) Happy People Attend Church

     The third way to be happy is to attend church. Psalm 84:4 says Blessed (happy) are thy that dwell in thy house: they will still be praising thee. Selah (Note that Selah means to pause and reflect on this thought). Happy people attend church to worship Jesus instead of selfish recreation. One time a little kid at church said Mom, Daddy wants to watch football; You want to be home cooking; I want to be outside playing; Why are we in church? These parents need to tell this kid that Hebrews 10:25 says Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. 

     Remember when you don't want to attend church and be alone say Ecclesiastes 4:9: Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a three fold cord is not quickly broken. 

     According to Deuteronomy 32:30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up? For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges. In other words, there is ten times more power in prayer with two people than one person. There is power in numbers to overcome problems. One ant can push a crumb; but ten ants can push it better. We need to attend church and pray for each other to overcome problems. James 5:16 says when you pray for other people, you will be healed. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

     Don't be like Thomas who missed a church service and doubted that Jesus had risen from the dead. Thomas missed an opportunity to witness the miraculous appearance of our risen Saviour Jesus Christ. Thomas said I won't believe in the resurrection of Jesus until I see Jesus. Jesus appeared again to the disciples and Thomas saying at John 20:29 Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. 

     Learn about the importance of attending church from this story about how a deaf man faithfully attended church. This deaf man went to church every Sunday morning, Sunday evening, and Wednesday evening. Rain or shine this deaf man never missed a church service. His neighbors were amazed at how this deaf man never missed a church service. One day someone asked the deaf man, "Why do you drive your car to every church service when you can't even hear what the preacher is saying? You're deaf." The deaf man replied, "I just want to let people know whose side I'm on." The moral of this story is that if you lay out of church next Sunday for a lame excuse, please take your car around the back of your house and hide it so your neighbors won't know that you missed church. Be a good witness for our Lord Jesus. 

Ways To Be Happy

4) Happy People Realize That Their Sins Are Forgiven

     The fourth way to be happy is to realize that your sins are forgiven. Romans 4:7 says Blessed (happy) are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed (happy) is the man to whom the Lord will not impute (take into account) sin. Saved saints get happy when they realize that the blood of Jesus has removed all the guilt from their past wicked sins. 1 John 1:7 says But if we walk in the light, as He (Jesus) is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin. 

     Lost sinners without Jesus in the world try to remove their guilt about past sins by drinking beer, smoking pot, or committing fornication. But after the momentary pleasure and hangover, the problem and guilt still remains. Only the blood of Jesus can remove the guilt after sin. Notice the trade off: Jesus took our sins away upon Himself and gave us His perfect righteousness. Praise Jesus right now while you say 2 Corinthians 5:21 For He (God) hath made Him (Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. 

     Take time to read this story about a lunatic without Jesus who went crazy from the guilt of his past sins. This lunatic escaped an insane asylum and visited an abandoned mine shaft every day yelling Down he goes; Down he goes constantly. This lunatic went insane because of guilt every day when he remembered killing a man in a mine shaft. If this lunatic got saved with Jesus, Jesus would have removed his guilt, saved him, and given him peace of mind. 

     Right now no matter how wicked your past sins were, repent and ask Jesus to cleanse away your sin in His precious blood, and your guilt will be removed forever where you will have peace of mind. Revelation 1:5 says And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him (Jesus) that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood. After salvation with Jesus, the Lord Jesus promises at Hebrews 8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

     Criminals in court get happy when a jury returns a not guilty verdict and they are set free. Likewise, guilty sinners get happy when Judge Jesus returns a not guilty verdict by removing their sins with His precious blood to set them free forever. In other words, judicially, saved sinners are declared righteous and innocent with no memory of their past wicked sins. John 8:36 says If the Son (Jesus) therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.  

Ways To Be Happy

5) Happy People Deny Sin And Wait On Jesus

     The fifth way to be happy is to deny sin and wait on Jesus. James 1:12 says Blessed (happy) is the man that endureth temptation (remains faithful to Jesus when he is enticed by sin): for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him. In other words when the devil tempts you with a moment of sinful pleasure, deny sin and live holy for our Lord Jesus, and you shall receive a crown of life. 

     It's important to daily deny sin by staying in the Word, praying, and attending church because sin makes our prayers ineffective. Psalm 66:18 says If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me. Isaiah 59:2 says But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear. Deny sin daily and get your prayer requests answered while you receive peace, healing, and victory in every area of your life. 

     Finally people are happy that don't react to problems but wait on direction from God after prayer. Tell your problems to the Lord Jesus who will give you one of two answers (peace that means yes and no peace that means no). Philippians 4:6 says Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 

     James 5:11 says Behold, we count them happy which endure (wait on the Lord Jesus to solve their problems). Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. Isaiah 40:31 says But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
