FRESH WORD – Word of the Day – September 4, 2025 – Evangelist Pastor Barbara
There is no old in My Kingdom. Everything is young and vibrant, moving to the rhythm of its Heavenly Notes. Your flesh is growing old, but your spirit man is very much alive and well. Church, the reason you don’t shout and dance is because you listen to your earthly vessel and not your SPIRIT man. This younger you is in there shouting to get out. LET HIM OUT. REJOICE, REJOICE, REJOICE. LET THE YOUNGER ME OUT!
There is no sadness in Heaven. You need to rejoice here on this earth. Pull the rejoicing from Heaven, dance to My rhythm, My drumbeat, and My glorious tones. If only you could see into the Heavenlies. If you could only hear the actual heartbeat in Heaven. Yes, all pain ceases in Heaven, but that does not mean you cannot be rejoicing here on earth, in the midst of your greatest pain.
What does My Word tell you? “Rejoice and again, I say rejoice“ Philippians 4:4-8 KJV 4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. 5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.8 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.
I hear you when you say, “When I get to Heaven, then I will rejoice,” but I tell you this day, rejoice in the midst of your trials and tribulations. Rejoice when you feel like stomping your feet and rebelling. When you rejoice, you put Hades in derision; Hades does not know what to do with rejoicing. Play your cards right, and from this day forth, you will shove the enemy straight back from whence he came: THE PIT.
Stop saying, “You just don’t know what I am going through,” which is a lie, first of all. You sing about what My Son went through. You make movies about what He went through. You do sermons on what He endured, but you really don’t even know the half of it. Hebrews 12:2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
Church, I need you to start rejoicing. JOY, total joy is what activates miracles. JOY is what the lost need to hear. They need laughter. They have had enough of the world; now they need Heaven’s heavenly notes pouring through their vessels.
