  2. John 17The Great High Priestly Prayer of our Lord!

  3. John 17:6-19John 17:13Sharing the Happiness of God!+H

  4. John 17:13, “But now I myself come face to face to You, (God the Father) and I kept on speaking (teaching) these things (Bible Doctrine) while in the world in order that they (the disciples) might keep on having and holding My joy (+H) made full in themselves.”

  5. What was our Lord’s joy? Heb 12:1-2

  6. Rom 14:17, “For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.”

  7. Principles of Happiness (+H):Isa 65:18, “But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; for behold, I create Jerusalem for rejoicing and her people for gladness.”

  8. Eccl 2:26, “To the man who pleases Him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God.”

  9. 1. The key to true happiness is a change in your mental attitude. Happiness is not the various stimuli of life, which has no ability to sustain you in daily living.John 15:11; Heb 11:25

  10. John 15:11, “I have taught you these things that My happiness might be in you, and that your happiness might be fulfilled.”

  11. 2. Happiness depends upon the quality of your thoughts; you should guard the type of thoughts you allow to enter your soul. Phil 4:8-9

  12. 3. True happiness does not come as a result of getting something you do not have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what you do have. Phil 4:11-13; 1 Tim 6:7-8

  13. 1 Tim 6:7-8, “For we have brought nothing into this world, and it is obvious that we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and shelter, we shall be content with these.”

  14. 4. Whenever we use our capacities to the greatest extent to learn and apply the Word of God, we attain the greatest success and happiness possible in this life.

  15. Phil 4:11, “I have learned to be content” (Aorist, Active of MANTHANO - educated)

  16. Phil 4:12a, “I know how to get along” (Perfect, Active of OIDA - to know, to learn)

  17. Phil 4:12b, “I have learned the secret” (Perfect, Passive, MUEO - initiated into the secret)

  18. Phil 4:13,“I can do all things” (Present, Active of ISCHUO - to be strong, have the power)

  19. 5. The only way to happiness is to cease worrying about things that are beyond the power of your will.

  20. 6. You will never realize how much of God’s happiness you have in your life until you go through certain problems, and find out that your happiness has not been taken away.Psa 31:7; 1 Peter 1:3-8

  21. Psa 31:7, “I will rejoice and be glad in Your lovingkindness, because You have seen my affliction; You have known the troubles of my soul.”
