Here are the author's notes from this week's message:

What Happened to Your Joy? Pt. 1

2 The beginning of the word of the Lord by Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the Lord.

3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son.

Hosea 1:2-3 KJV

1 Then said the Lord to me, Go again, love [the same] woman [Gomer] who is beloved of a paramour and is an adulteress, even as the Lord loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love cakes of raisins [used in the sacrificial feasts in idol worship].

2 So I bought her for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a half of barley [the price of a slave].

3 And I said to her, You shall be [betrothed] to me for many days; you shall not play the harlot and you shall not belong to another man. So will I also be to you [until you have proved your loyalty to me and our marital relations may be resumed].

Hosea 3:1-3 AMPC

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 5:8 KJV

And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the Lord their God, nor seek him for all this.

Hosea 7:10 KJV

*- Sadly, the Northern Kingdom of Israel did not return to God in time to avoid destruction. So it is today for those who refuse to turn to God, even after being warned—the heavy burden of the minister.

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 12:2 KJV

*- joy (in this verse): to attain blessedness at the right hand of God in heaven—Jesus’ ultimate reward for pleasing His Father.

*- What you set before you as your joy determines your faithfulness—and your reward.

*- Joy is not an emotion. Joy is a response out of the fruit of the Spirit, love.

*- despise: think little or nothing of

*- King David composed a psalm of repentance after Prophet Nathan confronted him regarding his adultery with Bathsheba and the arranged murder of her husband, Uriah.

9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

Psalm 51:9-13 KJV

*- After we sin, the joy that accompanies God's salvation of our lives is depleted.

*- uphold: sustain (strengthen or sustain; bear the weight of an object without breaking or falling)

*- free: willing (heal my spirit so I'll willingly obey You again, without resistance)

*- When God restores His joy and a willing spirit in us, we can then teach disobedient ones His ways, and sinners will convert to Jesus.

Lifework Assignment:

*- Ask the Holy Spirit, “Is the joy set before me to please God, no matter what He commands me to do?”

*- Remember, King Jesus and the prophet Hosea were given extremely difficult and potentially embarrassing assignments by God. They fulfilled their missions successfully, and so can you.

Expected Behavior:

They shall not [literally] return into [another bondage in] the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be their king because they refused to return to Me.

Hosea 11:5 AMPC

*- We must never allow ourselves to be drawn into another bondage—one that results from refusing to return to God after He has made a way and called us out of previous enslavement.
