His fruit in you means that you have an abundance of joy and your fruitfulness with burst inside you with Joy. Now by grace the incredible Joy of heaven has been given to you.

Jesus’ joy is made full in us; our joy is made full in Him. This is one of the sweetest, most beautiful things Jesus ever prayed for us. The believer should never allow anything to rob him of his joy. The conquering power of the Church is not just knowledge of the miraculous, but joy. A joyful people of Christ is an attractive people of Christ. A joyful believer is attractive.

Peter says in 1 Peter 1:8, “You love him passionately although you have not seen him, but through believing in him you are saturated with an ecstatic joy, indescribably sublime and immersed in glory.”

In Philippians 4:1, Paul says to them, “My dear and precious friends, whom I deeply love, you have truly become my glorious joy and crown of reward. Now arise in the fullness of your union with our Lord.”

In 2 Corinthians 2:14, “Thanks be unto God, who always leadeth us in triumph in Christ.”

It is that triumphant, joyful spirit that is now inside our hearts. It is not something we seek and look for; it is not something we wait or expect. It has been given to us, Joy resides in us, and we can draw on it every moment of life.
