The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). John 10:10 AMP
Do you think God wants you to enjoy your life? Absolutely, He does! I’m going to tell you one of the most hilarious times of my life. Many years ago, I was invited to speak at a big seminary and all of their leadership was coming. At that time, all of the leadership was men and I was the only woman invited. Some people said to me, “Why did they invite you?” I wondered the same.
So, I had a lot of fear and anxiety about the event. I was praying, believing God, fasting and crying out, “God, what do You want me to do?” And He said, “I want you to have fun.” I thought, “That can’t be from God!” But He said it over and over to me, “I want you to go and have fun.”
I went with a message prepared, but God didn’t let me preach it. I got up on the platform and I just had to follow Him. So I began to rejoice in God and the joy of the Lord hit the whole place. People began to fall under the power of the Holy Spirit. Men, all dressed in their nice suits, were up at the front rejoicing in God. People were laughing and praying, and what did I do? I had fun! And it was beautiful.
Jesus, I declare that You came so that we could have an enjoy life, in abundance and to the full. Help me to have fun today, because I am so filled with the joy of the Lord! Amen.
