Choose To Rejoice And Praise Jesus
Rejoicing And Praising Jesus Creates The Peaceful Presence Of Jesus
Choose to rejoice and praise Jesus. To receive Jesus' peaceful presence, daily thank Jesus for dying on the cross for you and giving you a place to remove your problems. 1 Peter 5:7 says Casting all your care upon Him (Jesus); for He careth for you. Remember the cross with Jesus that destroys all our problems daily (Hebrews 2:14), and the blood of Jesus that defeats the devil (Revelation 12:11) is the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever (Hebrews 13:8). Daily say Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ and say Isaiah 53:5 by Jesus' stripes I am healed. Whatever you need ask in the name of Jesus believing and you will receive your request (John 14:13). Psalm 100:4 says Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name. 1 Thessalonians 5:16 says to Rejoice evermore because Nehemiah 8:10 says the joy of the Lord is your strength.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 says In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. According to Psalm 22:3 God inhabitest the praises of Israel. And when you praise Jesus for dying on the cross for you and removing your sins, you will receive Jesus and His peace that passeth all understanding. Jesus told us at John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, nether let it be afraid.
Choose to rejoice and praise Jesus like Paul and Silas to overcome this troubled world. Don't endure serving Jesus as an obligation but enjoy serving Jesus as a privilege. Paul and Silas chose to rejoice and praise Jesus in a jail cell at midnight. Acts 16:25 says And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
Paul and Silas' rejoicing with praise while suffering at midnight created an earthquake that opened the prison doors and set the prisoners free. In other words (rejoicing, releasing, restraining, and regeneration occurred because of praise); 1) Paul and Silas were rejoicing at midnight 2) Creating an earthquake that released the prisoners 3) Who were restrained by the power of the Holy Ghost 4) That led to the glorious regeneration and salvation of the jailer.

And sing the words below for Thank You Lord For Saving My Soul
Written By Seth and Bessie Sykes 1940
Some thank the Lord for friends and home; For mercies sure and sweet
But I would praise Him for His grace; In prayer I would repeat
Thank you Lord for saving my soul; Thank you Lord for making me whole
Thank you Lord for giving to me; Thy great salvation so rich and free
Some thank Him for the flowers that grow; Some for the stars that shine
My heart is filled with joy and praise; Because I know He's mine
I trust in Him from day to day; I prove His saving grace
I'll sing this song of praise to Him; Until I see His face

Rejoicing And Praising Jesus Gives You Daily Benefits
Rejoicing and praising Jesus gives you daily benefits. Psalm 68:19 says Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. Don't forget the daily benefits you receive while you praise the Lord Jesus listed in Psalm 103. Don't be like the absent minded professor who was forgetful. He would wind up the cat and put out the clock. Unfortunately most people remember what they ought to forget and forget what they ought to remember. Most people read 3 bible verses and forget them after 3 minutes. But most people will remember a preacher's one small sin for 50 years.
Instead remember and say the blessed daily benefits received from Psalm 103 while you praise Jesus. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits (Note these next 6 daily benefits that you should say daily): Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases; who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth (surrounds) thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagles. The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
Have an attitude of gratitude. Resist the devil daily, but rejoice because your names are written in heaven. Don't ignore the devil and resist the devil daily. James 4:7 says Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Notice that you must first submit yourself to the Lord Jesus before you can resist the devil.
Now after you resist the devil in the name of Jesus and the devil flees from you, don't keep thinking about the devil. Don't keep speaking to and naming the devils for hours saying come out Jimmy, Harold, and Melvin. Just cast out devils in the name of Jesus and send them to the pit of hell where they rise not up again (Psalm 140:9-10) Jesus just had the legion devil say his name once quickly and then told him to Go into the swine. Don't ignore the devil but remember to think about God's Word and Jesus instead of worrying about the devil.
Philippians 4:8 says Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. In other words always think about Jesus.
Instead of worrying about the devil, rejoice because your names are written in heaven after salvation. Luke 10:20 says Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. Right now get saved and receive strength and the joy of salvation. 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.

Rejoicing With A Merry Heart Doeth Good Like A Medicine
It's good to rejoice and laugh with a merry heart that doeth good like a medicine. Proverbs 17:22 says A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. Proverbs 15:13 says A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
Here's some classic stories and one liners that I pray in Jesus name make you smile and laugh while they heal you like a medicine. The Lone Ranger told Tonto, Hey Tonto, look we're surrounded by Indians. Tonto replied What you mean we white man. They asked a man Do you believe in flying saucers? The man replied I've been married 40 years. What do you think?
How do you make holy water? Boil the hell out of it. What did the buffalo say to his son when he left him at school? Bye son (Bison). Why did the snail paint an S on his race car (racecar is spelled the same forward and backward)? So when he drove by anyone, they could say Hey look at the S car go (escargot). What do you call a sleepwalking nun? She's a Roamin' Catholic. Why did the chicken only go halfway across the road? She wanted to lay it on the line. Don't open any emails from the Hormel Company. They might be spam.
Where is a baseball game mentioned in the bible? In the big inning, Eve stole first, Adam stole second, Cain struck out Abel, Noah was on deck, Rebekah went to the well with the pitcher, Abraham tried to make a sacrifice, and the prodigal son made a home run. The Giants and The Angels were rained out.
Here's some classic Jewish humor: Why did the Jews wander in the wilderness for 40 years? Somebody lost a quarter. Why do Jews have big noses? Air is free. What is a Jewish dilemma? It's a free ham sandwich. Why do Jews own the most jewelry stores? Because the first three letters of jewelry is Jew. A mayor told a Jew No Jews are allowed in our village. The Jew replied That's why it's still a village. What's the most common expression at a Jewish funeral? He should have kept his mouth shut. What is a Jew's favorite wine (whine)? Please take me to Miami.
Here's some more classic stories to make you smile and laugh while they heal you like a medicine. Five hillbillies went into the forest looking for a christmas tree. They looked all day long and couldn't find one. Finally they all agreed that the next tree that they found, whether it's got lights on it or not, we'll cut it down and take it to the house; (wow they looked all day long for a tree in the forest with lights and couldn't find one). Two blondes were sitting on a bench. One blonde said What's farther away? Florida or the moon? The other blonde replied Florida. You can see the moon stupid.

Remember Laughter And Rejoicing Doeth Good Like A Medicine
We all know that a country preacher's favorite food is chicken
A preacher's belt ain't nothing but a fence around a chicken's graveyard
Why do preachers like chicken?
They're trying to get rid of that crowing rooster.
One time an elderly preacher lost his dentures (false teeth) down a well. He asked his preacher friends to figure out a way to get his teeth out of the well. One preacher decided to tie a chicken on a string and lower the chicken down into the well. It worked because the false teeth bit the chicken and the preachers pulled the teeth out of the well. The reason preachers rejoice and like chicken so much is because God gave us 8000 taste buds in our mouth so we could enjoy food.
How about these classics to make you laugh and heal you like a medicine. What should you do when everyone in the church is sleeping? Somebody ought to wake up the preacher. The preacher told a man sitting by his sleeping friend, Wake him up. The man yelled back at the preacher, You put him to sleep. You wake him up.
A policeman stopped a preacher who had a bottle of wine on the back seat of his car. The preacher told the cop, officer that's only water on the back seat. After the cop tasted the wine, the cop said phew, preacher, that ain't water, that's wine. The preacher replied Praise the Lord He done did it again. God turned the water into wine.
A man that wanted to keep sleeping every Sunday and not listen to a boring preacher wrote the following note on his sleeve. Now I lay me down to sleep, the sermons long the subjects deep; If he gets through before I awake, please give me a little shake. Finally a preacher told little Johnny, I'll give you a dime every Sunday if you can keep grandpa awake during the sermon. Johnny did good for a month but then grandpa fell asleep again every Sunday. When the preacher asked Johnny Why is grandpa sleeping? Johnny replied, Grandpa gave me 15 cents, so I let him sleep.
While a preacher was preaching a boring sermon, someone in the balcony yelled out Hey man speak up a tad so we can hear you. Then he said A little louder I need to hear you. Finally a man on the front row yelled to the man in the balcony, Hey man Thank God you can't hear him. Sit down and be quiet. Reverend Ike thought more about money than people's salvation. He said some peoples say that the love of money is the root of all evil. But I says that the lack of money is the root of all evil. Send it to me and I'll set you free.
Two crazy men were in a mental health facility. The first man was shining a flashlight up to the ceiling. The second man said What are you doing with that flashlight? The first man replied You see that beam of light. I'll bet you $10 that you can't climb up that beam of light. The second man said I'm not crazy. No way. Before I get halfway up that beam of light, you'll turn the flashlight off.
At the Vatican when they elect a new pope they wait for white smoke to come out of a chimney. Black smoke means no pope. A pastor watching the news for the white smoke and the new pope replied We had white smoke coming out of our church. It was a deacon smoking a cigarette in the church parking lot and no one elected a new pastor. I ain't waiting for a cardinal to blow some white smoke out of a chimney and find a pope. I'm waiting for the Lord Jesus to blow a shout from heaven and get caught up in the clouds to find my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Here's some blessed thoughts about Eutychus (his name means fortunate) who fell into a deep sleep in a window while Paul was preaching a four hour sermon until midnight and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead. Then Paul raised Eutychus from the dead (Acts 20:7-12). The reason Eutychus fell out of the window was because he was more out in the world than he was in the church.
We are all in a window sill spiritually. We're either tilted in more or tilted out more. If Eutychus was tilted in more, he would have only fallen 3 feet into the church and lived. But Eutychus was tilted out more and too far into the world and fell 3 floors down and died. There are two morals we learn from the story about Eutychus: First, if you fall into a deep sleep in the church, you'll be dead in no time. Second, the reason his name was Eutychus: You'd have cussed too if you had to listen to a 4 hour sermon.
Here's some classic church stories: While a preacher was holding a weekly revival by a brick factory, every day the preacher would yell Open them doors, open them wide, let the sinners come inside. A worker at the brick factory said if that preacher says that again, I'm going to throw a brick at the church. When the preacher again said Open them doors, open them wide, let the sinners come inside, the worker tossed a brick at the church and the preacher immediately said Close them doors, close them quick, some dumb sinner done tossed a brick.
When a man entered another church that was passing snakes around, the man asked the pastor Where's the back door? The pastor replied There ain't one. The man then said Well, Where do you want one? When another man entered the same church that was passing snakes around a circle, when it was his turn to hold the snake he said Shun didi de, Shun didi di, I don't know about you, pass that stupid thing on by.
Try This Exercise With Your Right Foot And Praise Jesus
While sitting lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. Now while you are doing this draw the number 6 in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction; And there's nothing you can do about it. Just smile and be happy. Your right foot is preprogrammed by your brain.
Tell These Happy Sayings To People To Make Them Laugh And Smile
1) Tell them to spell shop, stop, and slop.
Then ask them "What do you do when you come to a green light?" Go
2) Tell them to spell silk, milk, and silk
Then ask them "What do cows drink?" Water
3) Tell them to spell toast, boast, and roast
Then ask them "What do you put in a toaster?" Bread
4) Tell them to make a circle using your right thumb and second finger
Then tell them to poke their head through the circle
Most people will say it can't be done pushing the circle against their head
It can be done using your left second finger to poke your head through the circle
5) What do you call a seven foot man walking down the street blowing a flute?
He's highfalutin
Here's some more classic sayings to make you smile and bless Jesus. We have to believe by faith that the Father, Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit are one. The bible says it's a mystery that can not be figured out with your mind. One must believe by faith with their heart like a little child that Jesus is God and one with the Holy Spirit to get saved. 1 Timothy 3:16 says And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God (Jesus) was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
In other words it's a mystery that Jesus is God that must be accepted by faith that can not be understood by the mind. Hebrews 11:6 says But without faith it is impossible to please Him (Jesus): for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
When people say I can't believe that a man Jesus is God because it doesn't make sense, give them the following examples. I can't understand how a black or brown cow can eat green grass and make white milk and yellow butter. But I'm still gonna put milk on my cereal and put butter on my toast for breakfast. I can't understand how electricity works, but I'm going to believe it by faith. I'm not going to sit in the dark and I'm not going to stick my finger in a light socket to see if it works.

When You Feel Like Quitting, Keep Rejoicing And Praising Jesus Anyway
Be like Jeremiah and when you feel like quitting, keep praising Jesus anyway. Jeremiah 20:9 says Then I (Jeremiah) said, I will not make mention of Him, nor speak any more in His name. But his Word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay. Like Jeremiah keep rejoicing while you preach Jesus everywhere counting it all joy when you are persecuted for serving Jesus. They're going to talk about you anyway. So give them something good to talk about and leap for joy at church or the nearest Walmart bathroom. Give the people a Forrest Gump and run for Jesus.
Remember Quitters Never Win
Winners Never Quit
When You Feel Like Quitting
Say Thomas Edison's Quotes Below
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize
how close they were to success when they quit
Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration
Be like Bartimaeus and keep praising Jesus even when people around you tell you to stop praising Jesus. There are different forms of communication. We have telephone, teletype, and telecommunication. But the fastest method of communication is tell a christian. Don't worry about what people say when you praise Jesus. Keep your eyes on Jesus and off the people. If you keep your eyes on Jesus and off the people, Jesus will send people to bless you. Since Bartimaeus kept his eyes on Jesus and off the people, the people that told him to hold his peace began to praise Jesus after Bartimaeus got healed (Luke 18:35-43).

Rejoice About God's Grace And Mercy
Grace is when God gives us what we don't deserve
Mercy is when God doesn't give us what we do deserve
Rejoice about God's grace and mercy. Rejoice about Psalm 103:8: The Lord is merciful and gracious; slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. Rejoice about Psalm 103:10: He (Jesus) hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. Rejoice about Hebrews 8:12: For I (Jesus) will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
A man said, That preacher's sermon reminded me of peace and mercy
It was like peace and past understanding and it was like mercy
because I thought it was going to endure forever

Rejoice About How The Mercy Of God Is Measured
Rejoice about how the mercy of God is measured. Psalm 103:11 says For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him. First let's look at the height of God's mercy to lost sinners. The hubble telescope has viewed billions of stars above us that are 200 million light years away (note that a light year is 5.9 trillion miles). It has also viewed galaxies 50 million miles away. But to find out the height of God's mercy to lost sinners, one must travel above the stars and galaxies to God's mercy seat.
Jesus showed us the height of God's mercy when He traveled from the throne room of heaven and came down past the stars and galaxies to this earth. Jesus became a man and died for our sins on the cross of Calvary. Then Jesus took His own blood that He shed at the cross all the way back to heaven past the stars and galaxies and put His own blood on God's mercy seat so we all could have mercy and get our sins removed forever.
Psalm 103:12 also measures the mercy of God. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He (Jesus) removed our transgressions from us. Notice that the bible does not say that God's mercy is measured from the north to the south. This is because there are end points at the North and South Poles on this earth. But there are no end points to the east or to the west.
When you go east, you go east with no end. When you go west, you go west with no end. God has removed our sins as far as the east is from the west where they can never be found. One day the devil went east looking for our sins and kept walking east and couldn't find our sins. Then the devil went west looking for our sins and kept walking west and couldn't find our sins. And the devil will never find christians' past, present, or future sins because Jesus removed them as far as the east is from the west. To sum it all up, God's mercy is infinite with Jesus vertically from the earth to God's mercy seat in the third heaven and horizontally from the east to the west.
