See the devil can discourage us and bring a lack of joy in our life
through the spirit of discouragement and heaviness that's in the world.
But I believe that another way that he can do that is by presenting to
us a fake happiness that's in the world. You look at somebody whose life
looks happy and you think I need that life too.

And no wonder then you end up with a lacking joy. Joy comes only from
the Holy Spirit and from the Word of God. So turn off the input even if
it's seemingly happy things that the world is presenting to you.

That fake happiness that the world has will rob you of the true joy of
the Lord. Turn it off.
