     We will now venture into the Joy of the Lord. One of the names written on the breastplate was Asher which means joy, happiness or gladness. The Bible clearly declares that the joy of the Lord is my strength. When we loose our joy we loose our strength. We have been told too many a times "don’t let the devil steal your joy" the scripture says that the Kingdom of heaven is not come in meat and drink but righteousness, peace and joy in the holy ghost. The bible says that the blessings of the Lord maketh rich and addeth no sorrow. We can only experience the joy of the Lord with the Lord and from the Lord.

     We were not given the spirit of fear again unto bondage but of love and power and of a sound mind. Jesus when he walked on the earth expressed such a joy, he celebrated such happiness that it became contagious, it was almost like a plague of hope, joy and happiness if I could express it that way. There was a woman at Jacob's well who was about to draw water from it. Jacob is the man who had a name change; his name was changed to Israel. Jacob here was significant of the old name; the old Adamic nature while Israel was significant of the new man, the one who had a name change, our names speaks of our nature and personality. So we are in the process of having our name changed, our old Adamic nature being changed into the nature of Christ, becoming a source of joy, an extension of Jesus who is Joy himself. So Jesus made his way to the well, sat on the well and asked the woman for a drink. Jesus sitting on the well typifies him putting a lid on the old Adamic nature, bringing an end to all flesh, which is carnal and resurrecting a new man who is now drinking out of a living well which is Jesus, creating rivers of living water.

     He asked her for a drink and she said to him "sir I do not have any bucket to draw with and the well is deep, how can I draw this water to give you" furthermore the Jews and the Samaritans have nothing to do with each other, why are you even talking with me.

     He said to her "go bring your husband" she said "I have no husband" he said to her "you are right to say that you have no husband, you have had 5 before now and the one that you presently have does not belong to you" she was astonished at his word. After drinking from that living spring she became full of joy so Jesus to her to hold her peace and not to tell anyone about this for she perceived him to be sent from God. She could not contain such joy, she ran through the city proclaiming, "come see a man"

     Joy have a way of moving to the top, it almost like trying to mix water with oil, the oil here representing joy and gladness, it always rise to the top. The 6th husband speaks of man and his rebellious state, the woman speaks of the church that has become satisfied with man in his own abilities and strength, here comes the Jesus, the 7th man, the perfect husband, the one who does not need to get a name or nature change, he has carried the same name from eternity "savior of the world" The number 7 in the bible speaks of perfection, and Jesus was indeed that perfect one. What a joy to find joy (Jesus) when you get connected to the source you become an extension of that source.
