Living Proof with Beth Moore is sponsored by the friends and partners of Living Proof Ministries.

If his disposition is joyful and happy,

and we have the Holy Spirit in us, is it not possible that even if you have been unhappy for 45 years,

that you might have an outbreak of a happy heart.

Okay, so let's go through them.

I want to hear point number one. Tell me about happy.

Happy is not bad in the Bible.

And number two, I hope this landed with somebody.

We've got a gospel responsibility to rebel against our misery.

So when we realize, I'm not talking about sadness,

we're going to talk about that today.

I'm not about misery.

I'm just talking about misery.

Who in the room knows the difference

between just being sad or even being heartbroken about something

and just being miserable?

Has anybody ever been miserable besides me

where you just go, you know what, you are one miserable soul?

I want you to raise up your hand if you have ever been miserable, because I know every one of you have. We know

what that's like, where you think, you know what, it doesn't matter that this, all these things

happen to you anymore. What has happened now is you have turned so on yourself that you have made your own self-miserable.

And that was really, really an eye-opener to me as I had to confront that at times in my own life.
