The Twelve Days of Christmas Blessings for Our Beloved - JOY

The word for my niece Cally and her husband Marshall’s wedding in July was JOY! And it was indeed a Joy-filled celebration! Contagious JOY!

Cally & Marshall

Joy is a wonderful gift to give this Christmas. I looked up one of the words for Joy, and the following scripture is perfect for those who are waiting, and sending these gifts via THE UPS man, God.

“Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold; And there be no herd in the stalls --

Yet I will REJOICE in the LORD.I WILL JOY in the God of my salvation.

The LORD God is my strength! He will make my feet like deer’s feet, And He will make me walk on my high hills.” (or high heels! ha ha!) (Habakkuk 3:17-19 NKJV)

HE WILL! Thank you LORD!

The word for JOY is gil (geel) Stronng’s #1523;

“To joy, rejoice, be glad, be joyful. Gil contains the suggestion of ‘dancing for joy,’ or ‘leaping for joy,’ since the verb originally meant ‘to spin around with intense motion.’ Although everything is wrong in Habakkuk’s external world, he is leaping for joy over his fellowship with Yahweh.”

“Do not sorrow, for the JOY of the LORD is your strength!” (Nehemiah 8:10)

Joy in Nehemiah 8:10 is Strong’s #/2304; Joy, Gladness.

On the second day of Christmas,

I give my true love.... JOY!

Father God, we pray and declare that You are imparting to our spouse, future or current, unspeakable JOY! Be our UPS Man, and Unite us IN JOY by the Presence of Your Spirit

Despite their circumstances, and busyness, give them feet like deer, that they can walk on the high hills, and overcome anything pulling them into discouragement.

We declare (from Song of Solomon 2:17) “Turn my beloved! And be like a gazelle, or a young stag, and leap over the mountain of Bether [SEPARATION.]

Fill them with Your Holy Spirit today, so full that they cannot contain the Joy! Impart to them leaping, spin-around JOY; contagious JOY!

And sensitize their spirits. Give them a child like spirit, expectant for Christmas morning. A spirit that will leap for joy when their spouse (future or current) walks in the room, like John the Baptist leapt in Elizabeth’s womb. (Luke 1:41)
