Do You Want Happiness Today (With Greg Laurie)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лют 2021
- Researchers have consistently ranked Scandinavians as the happiest people on Earth. But even if you aren’t Scandinavian, you can still find happiness.
According to the Bible, if you know God and discover His plan for your life, you will find the happiness you’re searching for. It doesn’t come from seeking to be happy in and of itself. It comes from knowing and seeking the God who created you and discovering His plan and purpose for your life.
C. S. Lewis said this about happiness: “God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food for our spirits were designed to feed on. . . . God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.”
The Bible says that if you hunger and thirst after righteousness, then you will be happy. Jesus said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” The word blessed also can be translated “happy.”
This world will promise us happiness, but it simply won’t deliver. That’s because this fleeting happiness that we experience ebbs and flows. It comes and goes, depending on what our life is like.
If things are going reasonably well, then we are fairly happy. But the moment things get difficult, we are no longer happy. And that is not real happiness.
Writing in a Time magazine article, Gregg Easterbrook said, “Love, friendship, family, respect, a place in the community, the belief that your life has purpose-those are the essentials of human fulfillment, and they cannot be purchased with cash.”
Happiness is never something we should seek directly, according to the Scriptures. It is always the result of seeking something else. If you seek holiness, then you will find happiness as a result.

I have had the acronym “JOY” written in the front panel of my Bible for years and years!!
What is it?
@@tional5266 Jesus. Others. Yourself.
The bible tells us to love others as we love ourselves, but I believe many people don't love themselves at all these days. Loving yourself and caring for yourself IS actually important. Many are in enmeshed situations where they are putting themselves last perpetuating their pain and suffering. Some people actually need to learn how to speak up for themselves
Thank you Pastor Greg Laure, aiwxs xx. Wlxx was blessed by this Vis. Vidio.. Pres Reales..

Be content with what you have... love not the world nor the things in the world..
Or is it just really many are called few will be chosen..
Thank you o found you on you tube when I was sick with covid19 I thought I was gonna die but I heard you u made me think *
When the roe happened, our Pastor had a very different attitude about I, that of the article you mentioned very sad, straight from cnn, not from God, we haven’t been back since
I truly know what you know what you mean about abortion personally. The young lady never gets over it. As a Christian and even those who are not.
There will be two Benjamin in Israel and no government is selected , the MESSIAH is Right around the corner - Rabbi Yitzchak Kaduri ! KING 👑 JESUS 👑 IS COMING .
But what if you claim that you have completely walked away from Jesus? Are you still saved or did you lose it?
What about Hebrews 6?
At the very end Greg says God will never give you more than you can handle, that is absolutely wrong. God will do this so the man alone approach will be will be exhausted and now you have to centrally focus on God alone by giving it ALL to him.
Is it true that if I drink. I do not love Jesus? I am a Christian. But I drink alcohol. I smoke cigarettes. Do I truly not love God? because of this? Do I truly not love Jesus? Please answer me Greg. I want to know your take on this. I believe I am saved. I know I am saved. But you stated that if you drink. You do not love Jesus. I do not ever disagree with the bible. But I disagree with you telling people that just because you drink alcohol, you do not love Jesus. This is my lesson to you. This is God's message to you. You will be judged. I will Be judged. I will not be judged by you.
