Okay guys, well, it's good to be with you all.

I'm in the wine room, okay?

And the wine room is a place of just joy and union and bliss.

And the wine, you know, it's very easy to take.

Now he's brought me to the house of wine and I'm in a

fever of love. So I want to talk about love fevers. I want to talk about being locked in the wine

cellar. Now I've been locked in the wine cellar for a long time and I've only just begun drinking my

way through it. So this is a limitless realm and the amazing thing is it's not far,

it's actually inside you. I'll just read a few scriptures on joy and then get into it.

Psalm 368, they will be intoxicated with the fatness of your house and you'll give them drink from the river of your delights.

So the Lord wants to take us into the fatness of his house

and give us a drink from a river of delights.

At his right hand is pleasure forevermore.

You cannot separate God from pleasure.

Isaiah said everything he pleases he does.

Even the cross was for the joy set before him everything

God does as an expression even his justice he sits in heaven and laughs and judges the enemy it

comes from joy Psalm 84 11 in the Moffat translation says this he never denies bliss to the upright

let me tell you now bliss is a Christian word It was a word that's in all of our ancient books. You read through the last century books. You will see that word bliss, B-L-I-S-S, bliss. God has come. Jesus has come one, translation says, as the high priest of bliss.

That's one that he says that he's come with the good things to come.

Okay, so Psalm 1611, in your presence is fullness of joy and total celebration.

At your right hand are endless pleasures and eternal delights.
