Day 17: Joy of Salvation Restored

Theme Scripture

“Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.”
— Psalm 51:12 (KJV)

Exposition

One of the greatest evidences of revival is the restoration of joy — not joy based on circumstances, but the deep, inner gladness that springs from knowing you are right with God.

When David prayed this prayer after his sin with Bathsheba, he wasn’t asking for new salvation but for the joy that he had lost through sin. Many believers today still love God, but the joy of their salvation has faded. Busyness, trials, or guilt can drain the vibrancy of your walk with God. Revival comes to bring it back.

The joy of salvation is the believer’s strength (Nehemiah 8:10). It is what sustains prayer, fuels worship, and keeps your heart burning with love for God. When revival breaks out in a person’s heart, the weight of condemnation is lifted, the freshness of grace returns, and praise flows naturally again.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of joy. When He moves, sorrow, weariness, and heaviness give way to freedom and rejoicing. A revived believer does not need external motivation to praise; the inner life of Christ continually overflows.

If your Christian journey feels heavy or dry, ask the Lord today to restore the joy of your salvation. Revival is not complete until joy is renewed.

Further Scripture Reading

  • Isaiah 12:3 – “With joy shall you draw water out of the wells of salvation.”
  • John 15:11 – “That My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.”
  • Philippians 4:4 – “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.”
  • Romans 14:17 – “The kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.”
  • Habakkuk 3:17–19 – Rejoicing in God even in hard times.

Personal Reflection

  • Have I lost the excitement and joy I once had in serving God?
  • What sins, weights, or worries might be draining my joy?
  • How can I cultivate an atmosphere of joy and thanksgiving daily?

Manifestation of the Kingdom Within

  Manifestation of the Kingdom Within Scripture: “ Nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.” — Luke 17:21 Devotional The kingdom of God is more than external miracles, spectacular signs, or impressive events—it is a spiritual reality that dwells within the believer . When Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is within you,” He was emphasizing that kingdom life is demonstrated through the transformation of our hearts, thoughts, and daily actions. The true evidence of the kingdom is righteousness, peace, and joy (Romans 14:17). It manifests when we choose obedience over sin, forgiveness over bitterness, and love over pride. It is displayed in our attitudes, relationships, and every decision we make. Unlike external circumstances, the kingdom within is constant, resilient, and supernatural—it cannot be shaken by trials or opposition. Living with the kingdom within means walking in God’s authority, living in alignment with ...

Love is the Way

Love is the Way  Jesus said to him, ""You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." Matt.22.37-40 Love is the summary of the Law and the entire scripture.  Where love abounds, laws and constitutions are useless.  Love is the fulfillment of the law.   - For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another! Gal.5.14-15 Love is a command. It is the Law and the commandment of God. It is not an option but a necessity.  No one can be part of God without love, because God Himself is Love.   - This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. These things I command you, that you love o...

He is Risen

Date: Easter Sunday – April 20, 2025 <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8669748632238163"      crossorigin="anonymous"></script> Title: He Is Risen! Scripture: “ He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” – Matthew 28:6 Devotional Thought: Easter morning dawned with the impossible made real: Jesus rose from the dead. The sealed tomb was broken open—not to let Jesus out, but to let the world in to witness victory. The silence of Saturday was shattered by resurrection power. Death lost its sting. The grave lost its hold. And hope came rushing back into the hearts of all who believed. The resurrection is not just an event—it’s a reality we live in . Because He lives, we have hope in suffering, strength in weakness, and assurance in uncertainty. It’s the foundation of our faith, the fuel for our mission, and the final word over sin and death. ...
