John 15:9-11 is one of the most important passages for the Body of Christ at a time when so many believers are being weighed down with fear, shame, depression, and other dark emotions that dominate their life. Jesus promised to give joy to His people as they engage with Him consistently.

9“As the Father loved Me, I have loved you; abide in My love. 10If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love…11My joy may remain in you, and your joy may be full.” (Jn. 15:9-11)

B. Jesus promised His people divine joy which includes a deep sense of well-being, security, and confidence in His good leadership over our lives. In this message, I used the terms “divine joy” that comes by relating to Jesus and “natural happiness” that is sought in blessed circumstances.
By natural happiness I refer to gaining deep satisfaction through favorable circumstances, relationships, possessions, achievements, positions, etc. I appreciate “natural happiness,” but the intense pursuit of it is so often an illusion that is rooted in idealism, leading to disappointment.
