No Jesus, no joy. Know Jesus, know joy….

Study little children. They know happiness, it’s an integral part of their being. The same with animals. People can’t get enough of babies and puppies! And it goes way beyond the cute factor.

A woman stated that meeting Yashua (Jesus) is like being reacquainted with an old friend. She explained the feeling is, “I know you!” I can personally attest to this. I felt the same way, that excited, bubbly feeling of being reunited with an old, but very good friend. It’s a feeling of pure joy. The only difference is that as a child, Jesus was with me all the time. As an adult, I have to re-establish the connection regularly, until it becomes permanent again. This involves unlearning the false teachings of the modern world.

I believe there is no joy outside of knowing Yashua (God in fleshly form), because Yashua IS joy.

And I believe we all knew Yashua intimately as a child. Which is why we are advised to become like little children again to enter the Kingdom. Children are in touch with heavenly realms, therefore they know Yah (God) and Yashua.

“[A]nd said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 18:3)

“I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.” (1 John 2:13).

The pressures and teachings of the physical world cause a forgetfulness of heaven. So as adults, we must seek to remember that special connection we had as a child, when we were truly happy and full of joy. It’s like peeling back the layers of an onion, we only have to remove the layers of forgetfulness and sin that have piled up. Prayer and meditation helps with this unfolding process.

Little children, not the wise and so-called learned are special to the Living God. This is because Yah searches the heart and not the mind. People with Down’s Syndrome are some of the most gentle, loving souls on the planet, even though they may not be able to tie a shoelace.

“But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” (Matthew 18:6)

“… for the Lord searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever. ” (1 Chronicles 28:9)

Science has been an enemy of God, teaching us to ignore the real and permanent world, and focus on the five senses of this physical world – which has been proven by physicists to be a hologram. Science doesn’t believe in miracles, in things that can’t be logically explained. It doesn’t believe that a Spirit we call God could enter a flesh body called Yashua. That this body could be raised from the dead, that the bones of this body are not here on earth, nor are the bones of Elijah or Enoch, who were taken into heaven while still alive.

But little children are aware of the magic of existence…

“Assuredly, I say to you,whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”(Mark 10:15)

“But Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.’” (Matthew 19:14)

“Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.”(Matthew 18:5)
