01 THE JOYFUL MOOD

01 THE JOYFUL MOOD In all our holiness meetings we have emphasized the joyous mood of the Spirit, and that He produces in us His own joy. In 1 Thessalonians 5:6 He speaks about the church at Thessalonica having "received the word with the joy of the Holy Ghost" -- not simply their own joy, but His joy, the working of that mood of the Spirit which is the joyous mood. We need not emphasize that side of it because I think we all have known it and heard about it and have been well taught concerning it. The fact is we have had that so impressed upon our hearts and minds that many people imagine that is all the mood the Spirit exercises, and when He does not manifest Himself in a joyous state they have lost their religion, which is a very serious matter. Therefore, I am undertaking to bring to your attention eight other moods which He has just as distinctly as the joyous mood.
