WE NEED TO REJOICE ALWAYS 

What does "rejoice" mean? According to Webster's New World Dictionary: from French- inflectional stem of OFr rejoïr < re-, AGAIN + joïr, TO BE GLAD < , "to be glad again."
Many people are happy or joyful because they won the lottery or got a raise at work, bought a new car, etc., etc...which CAUSED their happiness and joy.

The Amplified Bible says in Philippians 4:4 (AMP) to us as Christians we are to:

4 "Rejoice in the Lord always [DELIGHT, GLADDEN YOURSELVES IN HIM]; again I say, Rejoice!" BUT WE ARE NOT TO WAITE UNTIL something like that happens to us! that makes us FEEL LIKE REJOICING. we are to STIR OURSELVES UP BY ACTING ON GOD'S WORD IN FAITH! It will bring us into Joy! Outward circumstances have nothing to do with it. It's from within!

"Rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS," especially when things are going wrong. In every test, trials, or adversity shout the victory! Because it's your's! It will keep you in the Spirit and in-tune to Him! This is GOD'S WAY to victory!!! 

When your are by yourself... and things are not going right...lift your hands up to Heaven and dance, wave your arms like you won a million dollars...but in truth you have something soooooo much better... eternal life!!!

God's joy will fill your heart and discouragement, disappointment, and depression will leave!!!
