Day 14 – Joy in His Assurance Scripture: Romans 15:13NIV: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”ESV: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”KJV: “Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.”Brief insight: Trust is the doorway; joy and peace are the gifts; overflow of hope is the result—by the Spirit’s power, not our effort.Introduction When assurance becomes your anchor, joy becomes your overflow. Today we don’t chase joy—we receive it. As we trust the God who cannot fail, the Holy Spirit fills us with a steady peace that spills into confident hope. This is not optimism; it is assurance rooted in God’s unbreakable promises. Expect to end this day overflowing.Backstory on the scripture Romans is Paul’s letter to a diverse church in Rome learning to live as one family in Christ. In chapter 15, Paul emphasizes unity, endurance, and hope formed by the Scriptures and empowered by the Spirit. Romans 15:13 is a prayer-blessing: that the “God of hope” would fill believers with joy and peace “as you trust” Him, so you “overflow with hope” by the Spirit’s power. The context is crucial: joy and peace are not manufactured emotions—they are gifts given in the act of trusting, grounded in God’s character and promises, for a people called to live as one.Word of the day: Assurance
- Assurance = settled confidence in God’s character and promises.
- Overflow (Greek: perisseuo) = to abound beyond measure. When trust is placed in God, the Spirit causes joy and hope to exceed our capacity.
- Assurance rests on God’s character. God’s promises are as faithful as He is unchanging. Joy isn’t fragile when its source isn’t you. It comes from the One who cannot lie and does not fail.
- Assurance produces joy and peace as we trust. Trust is the doorway; joy and peace are what God places in your hands as you walk through. The more you lean into His promises, the more your soul settles—and the more joy rises.
- Assurance is Spirit-powered overflow. This is not willpower; it’s Holy Spirit power. He takes God’s promises from ink on a page to fire in your heart, turning belief into bold hope.
- Assurance grows in Scripture and community. Paul connects hope to “what was written” (Romans 15:4). When you rehearse God’s track record—in the Word and with God’s people—assurance becomes your reflex, not your exception.
- Assurance endures waiting and opposition. Joy in assurance doesn’t deny hardship; it defies it. Because God’s promises stand, your joy can stand—even before the promise is visible.3 takeaways with Scripture
- God’s promises are certain because God is faithful.
- Scripture: Numbers 23:19; Hebrews 10:23
- Context and insight:
- Numbers 23:19 comes from the Balaam narrative: despite pressure to curse Israel, God’s declared blessing cannot be reversed. The point: God is not fickle, biased, or manipulable. He does not lie or change His mind like humans do.
- Hebrews 10:23 urges believers to hold fast because the Promiser Himself is faithful. Our grip is strengthened by His grip on us.
- Connection to joy: When the source is unchanging, your joy becomes steady. Assurance isn’t in your performance; it’s in His person.
- Reflection question: Where am I treating God like a changeable human? What promise have I hesitated to trust because of past human disappointments?
- Prayer declaration: Faithful God, You do not lie. I align my feelings with Your faithfulness and hold fast to Your promise today.
- Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:20; John 16:22
- Context and insight:
- 2 Corinthians 1:20: Paul defends his integrity by pointing to God’s unchanging Yes in Christ. Jesus is the fulfillment and guarantee of God’s covenant promises—His life, death, and resurrection confirm God’s Yes to salvation, presence, and restoration.
- John 16:22: Jesus foretells sorrow turning to joy after His resurrection—a joy no one can take away. The risen Christ secures unstealable joy.
- Connection to joy: Your assurance isn’t abstract; it is anchored in the living Christ. If He lives, your hope stands.
- Reflection question: How does Jesus’ resurrection specifically validate the promise I’m trusting today?
- Prayer declaration: Jesus, You are God’s Yes to me. I receive Your unstealable joy and agree with Your finished work.
- Scripture: Romans 15:13; Galatians

building the kingdom and sharing God's where y'all. Today is
day number fourteen, and the lesson title is Joy in
(01:32):
His Assurance, Joy in His Assurance. I'm gonna be coming
from Romans fifteen and thirteen. Romans fifteen and thirteen. Before
I get started, of course, I'm gonna go into prayer.
I'm gonna pray really quick. It's gonna be a short one,
but I want to pray really quick before we get
started on this morning. So, Father God, in the name
(01:54):
of Chiesus, Lord, I thank you for the space. I
thank you for opportunity that I can come before you
for people, Lord God, to share that that you have

(02:36):
I thank you guys for joining me on this morning.
We are day number fourteen. Again, we are coming out
of one of my devotions, one that God you relate
on my spirit. It is not to replace the Bible,
but it is to supplement the Bible, and to supplement
that that He has already given us through the Bible,
our basic instructions before leaving this earth. These are things
(02:58):
that we are supposed to do. So I'm just grateful
to be in the midst and it's grateful to be
able to help you dive deeper into that that He
has called us to do. Again, if you would like
to purchase a copy of this devotion, or any of
the devotions or any of my literary work, you can
go to my website Www. Angela Thomas Smith Books dot com. Again,
(03:19):
that is Www. Angela Thomas smith books dot com Four
simple words Angela Thomas Smith books dot Com. Again, I
thank you guys for joining me on this morning. Today's
stripture is Romans fifteen and thirteen. I'm gonna read the
N I the N I V version in the E
(03:42):
s V version, and they're similar in word and maybe
the God of Hope fill you without joy and peace
as you trust in him, so that you may overflow
with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. And
that is the N I N I V version. The
E S V version is, may the God of Hope
fill you with a joy and peace and believing, so
(04:06):
that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may
abide in hope. The King Jane versions say now that God,
the God of Hope, fill you with all joy and
peace and believing that ye may abide in hope through
the power of the Holy Ghost. Trust the doorway, the joy,
(04:30):
the peace or gifts. The overflow of hope is the
result by the spirit of the power, not our efforts.
When assurance becomes our anchor, joy becomes our overflow. Today,
don't chase joy, receive it. Understand that it is yours
(04:50):
as we trust the God who cannot fail, the Holy
Spirit fills us with a steady peace and spills into
confidence of hope. This is not optimistic. Again, this is
not optimism. It is assurance rooted in God's unbreakable promise.
(05:11):
Expect to end this day with overflow. You got to
have expectations. You got to believe that that that he
has said is going to come to pass. Little backstory
on this scripture. It was written in Romans is a.
It is Paul's letter to divert to a diverse church
in Rome learning to live as one family in Christ.
(05:34):
In chapter fifteen, Paul emphasized unity, endurance, and hope formed
by the scriptures and empowered by the spirit. And Romans
fifteen and thirteen is a prayer blessing that God, the
God of Hope, would fill the believers with joy and peace.
(05:54):
This joy we have, the world didn't give it, y'all,
and the world can't take it away. As you trust Him,
so you may overflow with hope, believing and trusting that
the things that He's spoken over your life they shall
come to pass. Hope and believing. That's believing in the
things that He's shared throughout that scripture, throughout the Bible,
(06:15):
that basic instructions before leaving nerves those things that we're
supposed to do. We can hope in those things because
his word is not going to return to him void.
The context is crucial. Jaw and peace are not manufactured
emotions like this is not something that we can make up.
This is not something that we can conjure. This is
not something that we can It is not It is
(06:38):
a gift, do you hearing It is a gift given
in the act of trusting, grounding in God's character and
promises for the people that are called to live as
one hum to live as one all. The word of
today is assurance. Assurance. Assurance is settled confidence in God's
(07:04):
character and promise overflow to abide in being measured. We
trust it. When we trust in Him and the Spirit,
it causes joy and hope to exceed our capacity. Y'all.
Our affirmation for today is I overflow with joy because
(07:30):
my assurance is in God, the one that created all things,
and I trust his process. So let's dive into today's lesson, y'all. Y'all,
assurance rests on God. God's promises are faithful as he
is unchanging, not like man. Joy isn't fragile when it
(07:52):
is a source. It is when its source isn't you
understand that you are not joy, but you are? You are,
You are a a A. It comes from the one
who cannot lie and does not fail. It comes from him.
It is a gift. It's not something that we can
(08:14):
conjure up. Assurance produce joy and peace as we trust him.
Trust is the doorway to joy and peace, as God
places in your hand as you walk through. The more
you lean into his promise, the more your soul settles
(08:34):
and the more joy rises. So trust him on today.
Assurance is spirit powered overflow. That is not will power.
It is the Holy Spirit power. He takes God. He
takes God's promises from the ink on these pages to
the fire in our heart, turning belief into bold hopes.
(08:57):
Trust him on today, and everything that you've written, every
word that you've read, y'all, is a promise and His
word it's gonna come the past. Assurance is spirit by overflow.
It is not well power. Again, I say, it is
the Holy Spirit's power. It takes God's promises from these
(09:19):
pages y'all, these journals that we write down, these things
that we got down and it places it in our hearts. Huh,
So turn your belief into bold hope on today, y'all.
Assurance grows in scripture in community. So, y'all, we got
to get out here and be in our community. We
got to be out here and be a part of
what's going on. We got to be out here and
(09:41):
be a part of the building of this kingdom. Paul
connects hope to what was written in Romans fifteen and four.
It said, when you rehearse God's track record in the
word and with God's people, assurance become a reflex and
not an expectation. It becomes natural. Well, it becomes something
that's gonna happen. If you do what you're supposed to do,
(10:04):
then the world is gonna die. And it's what is
supposed to happen in your life. It's gonna happen. It's
gonna be like a reflex. Just like you stand up,
you know that you're you're gonna walk. Naturally, you know
that you're if you're in the motion of standing up,
you're about to go and you're about to walk. So
that is a reflex. Insurance endures waiting in opposition. Joy
(10:29):
in assurance does not deny hardship, It defies it. Because
God's promise stands, joy can rise even before the promise
is visible. You gotta trust the process, y'all. You gotta
trust the process on this morning. God's promise are certain
(10:51):
because God is faithful. Numbers twenty three and nineteen says
come from the Blond narrative. Despite pressure to curse Israel,
God declares blessings could not be reversed. If he's given
you something, if he's spoken a blessing over your life,
if he's told you he's gonna do something, know that
(11:13):
he's gonna do it. His word is not going to
return void, and his word will not be reversed. It's
going to be fulfilled in your life. God is not fickle,
he's not biased, and he's definitely not manipulative. He does
not lie, nor does he change his mind. Is not
like human, So stand on his word today. You also
(11:34):
can go over to Hebrews ten and twenty three. It
urges the believers to hold fast because the promiser himself
is faithful. Our grip is strengthened by his grip on us.
So allow him to wrap his arms around you. Connect
with him spend time with him, allow him to show
up in your life because he is going to do
(11:56):
what he said he would do. So I want you
to reflect on this question, y'all, reflect on this? Where
am I treating God like a changeable human? What promise
have I hesitated to trust because of a past human disappointment? Huh?
Stop allowing things that have happened to you and what
(12:18):
people have done to you to stop you from believing
in God's word has been spoken over your life. You
pick up that Bible, you read that word. Understand that
that word applies to you just as he said. It
may say John, it may say Mary, it may say Mark,
but He's given those or our living instruction, the basic
living instructions that we're supposed to do before we leave
(12:41):
this earth. So we're supposed to pick that Bible up
and apply it to our life and allow that word
to manifest in us and through us. Understand that God
is faithful. Understand that every promise will find it's yea
yes in Jesus. Your assurance has a name. Huh. Second
(13:05):
Corinthians one. In twenty he said, Paul defines his integrity
by pointing to God's unchanging yes in Christ. Jesus is
the fulfillment and guarantee of God's covenant promise. His life
and death and resurrection confirms God's yes to salvation, presence,
(13:27):
and restoration. He said that he will never leave us
nor forsake us. He's always with us. If we make
our bed in hell, He's gonna be with us. Uh. So,
know that you gotta connect to joy. Your assurance isn't abstract.
It is anchored in the living Christ. If he lives,
your hopes stand and he lives through us. The Word
(13:50):
tells us that. So how does Jesus record resurrection specifically
validate the promise that I'm trusting God today? Because he
hung on that cross for us, y'all. He died for us,
He was buried, and he rolls again so that we
would have the right to eternal life, so that we
would have the right to repent, turn from our wicked ways.
(14:12):
And he said He's just to heal the land. So
trust and believe that God is yet working, no matter
what it looked like, No matter what it looked like,
Know that He's yet working, y'all. The Holy Spirit turns
trust into overflow of hope, joy and peace. If you
go back to the beginning. When we first read this stripper,
it says Romans fifteen and thirteen. It says, show a flow,
(14:39):
trust God the spirit. Feel you overflow with hope, joy,
peace or spirits gifts not self produced molds. And if
we go down to the Latians five and twenty two,
it reminds us. It reminds us joy and peace are
fruits of the spirit, life with the and growing as
(15:01):
we abide and not strive. We got to continue to
abide in his word. We got to continue to trust
his word. We got to continue to move and that
that He's called us to do. So how can we
apply these things to our life? How can we apply
these scriptures to our lives? First, y'all, we got to
begin to practice these three piece pause, pray and praise.
(15:30):
A lot of us we are reminded of these ppep loans,
but we won't pause, we won't pray, and we won't
give him praise. Y'all, if you want to transfer this
weight out of you, you want to lose some of
the stuff that's on you. You want to be in
line with the things that we know He's called us to.
(15:50):
You gotta pause, You gotta pray and you gotta praise
him so that he can move in your life. Y'all,
first pe and seven it is. It's not decisive. We
got peace follows surrendering. So surrender to him today. Give
(16:11):
it to him, cast all your cares upon him. I
want you to practice this three minute. I want you
to practice. It's a three minute practice that I want
you to do. Ex heal and name your burden plainly
before God, Say Father, I cast this to you, Picture
placing it in his hand, and then begin to thank
(16:33):
him for handling whatever situation you may be going through.
Asks for the next faithful step to obey him on today,
and we should incorporate this every day. Start your day
doing this. Start your day with a three minute practice
of ex healing and naming that burden plainly before God.
(16:55):
Anything that's troubling you on today, give it to him,
Tell him say I cast this on you, and picture
giving it to him, putting it in his hand, and
then just begin to praise him and thank him for
handling what you cannot hale. And then ask him what's
the next step. Ask him what it is that you're
(17:16):
supposed to be doing, and how can you continue on.
Plant a promise and meditate on every morning, mid morning, midday,
and night. Y'all. Plant the word so that it can
shift your thoughts God's truth and be meditate, y'all. Meditation
(17:39):
drives assurance from the head to your heart. So meditate
when you have time, simple rhythm. Morning, read the promise aloud,
Emphasize a different word each day. Midday, paraphrase in your
own word what you've read that morning. Keep speaking it
(17:59):
over your life, y'all. We got to get this word
rooted down in us so that when we begin to
face things, we're able to go through it. We're able
to pull up the word. We're able to place the
word and allow it to do what it's supposed to do.
And then at night, pray it back to God with gratitude.
Thank him for allowing you to get through this day,
(18:22):
and whatever he's done for you, thank him for it.
It's the little things, y'all. We don't even thank him
for waking us up this morning. We think that it
was the alarm clock, and we get up and we
just go about our natural routine, not giving him praise
for waking us up this morning. Because somebody didn't get
to see this day. But we got another chance. We
got another chance to get to get some things right
(18:43):
that we didn't get right on yesterday. So again I
challenge you. Put him in the midst of what you're doing.
Don't get so caught up in everyday life and what's
going on in this world. Because he told us we
got to be in this world, but not of this world.
So keep him first, Keep him first. I will not
(19:10):
fear for you or with me. I will not be dismayed,
for you are my God, my strength, my help, uphold
me with your righteous hand. Practice joy, by gratitude, and
worship before the feeling arivees now, even before you can
(19:35):
see something. Sometimes because a lot of us, if we
can't see it, we can't experience it. We don't like
to give him praise. And then sometimes we don't want
to praise, we don't want to praise, we don't want
to worship, and then until something comes up on us
and we're going through some things. But y'all, we got
to rejoice always. We got to rejoice always align with
(19:59):
the House yea abide in Christ and allow him to
lead us. As I close, I want to share a
recap of what we have learned this week starting with
(20:21):
day number eight. I want to share a recap of
what we have learned this week starting with day number eight.
Their number eight was confidence in God's plan. We focused
on Jeremiah twenty nine and eleven. God's intention towards you.
It's good. His plan is to give you hope in
(20:43):
the future. Day number nine was rest in God's tim
and we went to Ecclesiastics three and eleven. He makes
everything beautiful in his time. Trust his pace. Don't get
so caught up in what everybody else is doing and
(21:03):
why things are not happening in the way is happening
for others. You are not them. He fearfully and He
fearfully and wonderfully made each and every one of us
in his image. So we're not gonna be like our brothers,
are not gonna be like our sisters. I have twin nephews,
and when I tell you they are totally different, they
(21:24):
are totally different because they are uniquely and fearfully made
in His image. So I tell you to trust the
process and to know that God's timing is always on time,
and sometimes it may be delayed, but know that He
will never deny you Day ten, we talked about the
(21:48):
assurance of his presence. We went over to Psalms forty
six and ten, or that scripture says, be still and
know that he's God, y'all. He's present, he's powerful, and
he is near. He will never leave us north for sake,
because he said he left the comforter. So know that
you have something with you at all times. Trust his word.
(22:10):
Stand on his word because it will not return to
him void, y'all. Day number eleven, we focus on being
anchored in his truth. We went over to John eight
and thirty two. The truth will set you free. His
word secures your step. So know that believing and trusting
(22:32):
in his word, y'all, his word is not going to
return to him board. His word is the truth. His
word is powerful. His word. He's given us that power,
y'all to speak life of death. So know that we
can speak life of death over our own life. Understand
that Day twelve, y'all, we went over to We went
(22:56):
over to Tawo Peter's three verse number nine. Hope in
his promise, Hope in his promise. He is not slow,
he is yet faithful and patient. He is not slow.
He is yet faithful and patient, not microwave. He's not
(23:23):
He's not microwaving things. Sometime we got to go through.
We got to endure so that we can get the lesson.
We don't always understand why we are going through exactly
what it is. But you can hope in his promise.
You can hope in every word that has been spoken,
and know that it shall be performed in your life. Now,
(23:45):
He's not like man. They number thirteen, which was yesterday, y'all,
we talked about courage and silence. We went over to
Isaiah thirty and fifteen and returning and rest in salvation
and quietness and trust and the strength. Y'all. We gotta
(24:06):
return back to him. Some of us we tried everything.
We've tried to do it our way, but always not
the right way. His way is the only way, the
only way, so trust him. On today today we talked
about joy and his assurance. We focused on Romans fifteen
(24:27):
and thirteen. Trust unlocks the spiritual giving, joy, peace and overflower, hope.
How the pieces fit together, Understand the plan. God's good
intention removes fear about our future, his timing, his pace
(24:48):
removes striving in the present. His presence is near calms
your inner storm. His truth is his words reset your
perspective and decision making. His promises. He is faithful and
it fuels our endurance when the answer takes time. So
(25:12):
y'all understand that his word will not return to him bore.
Silence is the quiet way of making you strong without noise.
Joy is His spirit turns trust into unshakable overflow of hope.
So three things that I want you, guys, to carry
(25:37):
forward with you. Understanding stillness before action begins with be
stilled before you go and do surrendering to him. Understanding
that releasing deadlines and receiving God's appointments. Next thing, you
(25:58):
have to have scripture that confidence. Let the promises, not
your feelings. Let the promises of God. So go read
this word, pick it up, apply to your life, allow
it to manifest. But the promises of God, not your feelings,
have the final word. So this week, as we go forward,
(26:18):
I want y'all to reflect on these questions. Think about
them throughout the rest of this day, as we go
into our new week, as we go into our new
week of lessons and exploring what the word He has
given us. So this I want you to reflect on
this week? Where did God invite me to slow down?
(26:42):
Trust him and his time? And this week not my timing,
but his timing? How will you trust him? Secondly, which
promise most strengthened me? And how did it show up
in my real life? Go find these promises in the words,
y'ad He's given us promises things that He's gonna do
(27:03):
for us. Thirdly, what changes when I choose silence with
God before speaking and deciding? God? We have to allow
him to lead us. We had to allow him to
speak to us. We can't be about our own agenda. Humh.
(27:23):
And lastly, where did I experience a lift and joy
as I trusted? Y'all? Taking these different questions and asking
them to yourself at evaluating where you are thinking a
(27:44):
little deep, spending that time with him again, If you
could just only take five minutes every morning to do
these simple things that I'm about to share with you,
breathe in hell and be still know that I am God.
(28:05):
Say it, y'all, recall the next recall and name one
moment from each day that marked you. Then you got
to be able to receive pray Romans fifteen and thirteen
over yourself and your household. Lastly, I want you to
(28:26):
write down one obedient step for tomorrow. What will you
do tomorrow? And y'all do this every day. You got
to spend time with him. You got to explore it.
You've got to have hope in God's word. And thank
Him for steadying your heart this week. Thank him for
(28:50):
allowing you to receive the plans that he had for you.
Thank him for his time and thank him for his presence.
Thank him for his truth, his promise, and thank him
for filling you with the Holy Spirit that you may
have joy and peace. And trust him that He will
(29:11):
make overflow a part of your life and your blessings
for others. Understand that you are the overflow with joy
from the assurance in God. Speak it over your life.
Say I overflow with joy from the assurance of You
(29:36):
who created me. And memorize a few verses that you
can speak over your life throughout the day. Take time
to memorize this verse Romans fifteen and thirteen. May the
God of Hope fill you with joy, all joy and
peace as you trust him. May the God of Hope
(29:59):
feel you with all joy and peace as you trust him,
so that you may overflow with hope by the power
of the Holy Spirit, y'all, as we wrap up a
week of acquiet assurance. It's not loud, but it is unshakable,
(30:23):
and it produces joy that overflows, y'all, as we look
ahead to tomorrow, as we approach our final week of
this devotion, the title of the week's lesson is a
everlasting praise, A everlasting praise, a everlasting praise. We're gonna
(30:51):
be talking about gratitude as we go into our first day.
Our first lesson is gratitude in presence. We're gonna be
in Psalm sixteen and we're gonna focus on verse number eleven.
I pray that you guys will join me back here
on tomorrow for another daily devotion as we continue this journey, y'all,
(31:16):
As we continue this journey. As we continue this journey,
I'm gonna share this poem with you, guys, because every
day there's a poem, a short one stands, a poem
for versus after each devotion. Because I am a poet
and I believe in sharing my gifts and talents, so
it says this poem is in His presence, Joy abounds,
(31:41):
a hope that never ends. His spirit is unresound with joy,
our hope. I'm sorry, with joy our heart extends, and
I'm gonna read it again. It said in his promises,
joy abounds, a hope that never ends. His spirit is
(32:02):
in us, resounds with joy, our heart extends, and that's
set piece. I pray that there's been something that I've
shared with you, Gods that will bless you on today.
If I've shared anything that blesses you, invite someone to
join with us on tomorrow and share what has been
shared with you. I pray that God will bless everything
(32:25):
that has gone forth on today, Lord god Father, I
thank you for just another opportunity that I can share
your word. Father, I hope that it had fallen on
good soul, Lord God. Diseased will be, will be planet
and will be watered until that they may produce fruit.
Lord god Father, we thank you for yet another opportunity.
And Father asks we leave this live, Lord God and
(32:48):
going out into this world, Lord God, because your word
said that we had to be in this world. Father
asked that you would give us traveling mercies for those
that are going out and have to be out and about,
Lord God Father, shield and take every mold or transportation
that will be taking on today, Lord God, allow everyone
to get to their destination and return home safely to
their friends and their families. Or God Father, we thank
(33:10):
you for your son Jesus that hung on that cross,
that died for us, that was buried and resurrected so
that we may have the right to eternal life. Father.
We thank you right now that you have done all
that you are doing and all that you shall do. Father,
we ask that you would just have your way, Lord God,
and cover us as we go out into this world.
(33:30):
Keep us from knowing from all hurt home or danger.
Lord God, but Father, allow us to be a living
testimony that somebody that may come in contact with us,
that may not know you, that they would come to
know you on today, Lord God Father, I thank you
and I see these prayers and your son Jesus' name. Amen. Amen, Amen. Again.
I thank you guys for joining me. I thank you
(33:52):
for being a part of daily devotion. Start your day
off with him, regardless of what you're going through, regardless
of what may happen, regardless of how you feel, y'all,
just give him some time. He just wants you to
acknowledge him, No, we are not perfect people. We will
never be perfect people. We all fall short of his glory.
(34:12):
But he gives us a chance to repent, to turn
from those things. And he said He's just to forgive us.
But not only will here forgive us. We got to
forgive ourselves as we forgive others, y'all. So Father, I
thank you guys for joining me. If you were like

Five months now we've been on this journey. We have
been able to complete two books, two devotional books. This
is our third devotional book, getting ready to head into
(00:46):
our fourth one. I'm not sure which one we're gonna
be using, but we will be doing another one. We

I want to thank everyone that has been joining us

being a part of yet building the kingdom. How yet
building the kingdom and sharing God's where y'all. Today is
day number fourteen, and the lesson title is Joy in
(01:32):
His Assurance, Joy in His Assurance. I'm gonna be coming
from Romans fifteen and thirteen. Romans fifteen and thirteen. Before
I get started, of course, I'm gonna go into prayer.
I'm gonna pray really quick. It's gonna be a short one,
but I want to pray really quick before we get
started on this morning. So, Father God, in the name
(01:54):
of Chiesus, Lord, I thank you for the space. I
thank you for opportunity that I can come before you
for people, Lord God, to share that that you have
placed on my heart, or God, that that you have
placed within me. Lord God Father, I thank you, and
I asked that you will decrease me in the flesh
and allow your spirit man to come forth, that I
may be used for your glory, that I may be
used to touch someone on today that may not know you,
(02:15):
Lord God. But Father I thank you for this space.
I thank you for this platform. I thank you for
this opportunity, and I thank you for sending your grace
and your mercy, Lord God. So Father, I asked that
you will have your weight during this time. Lord God,
use me for your glory. In the name of Jesus,
in your Son's name, I pray Amen, Amen, Amen. Again.
(02:36):
I thank you guys for joining me on this morning.
We are day number fourteen. Again, we are coming out
of one of my devotions, one that God you relate
on my spirit. It is not to replace the Bible,
but it is to supplement the Bible, and to supplement
that that He has already given us through the Bible,
our basic instructions before leaving this earth. These are things
(02:58):
that we are supposed to do. So I'm just grateful
to be in the midst and it's grateful to be
able to help you dive deeper into that that He
has called us to do. Again, if you would like
to purchase a copy of this devotion, or any of
the devotions or any of my literary work, you can
go to my website Www. Angela Thomas Smith Books dot com. Again,
(03:19):
that is Www. Angela Thomas smith books dot com Four
simple words Angela Thomas Smith books dot Com. Again, I
thank you guys for joining me on this morning. Today's
stripture is Romans fifteen and thirteen. I'm gonna read the
N I the N I V version in the E
(03:42):
s V version, and they're similar in word and maybe
the God of Hope fill you without joy and peace
as you trust in him, so that you may overflow
with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. And
that is the N I N I V version. The
E S V version is, may the God of Hope
fill you with a joy and peace and believing, so
(04:06):
that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may
abide in hope. The King Jane versions say now that God,
the God of Hope, fill you with all joy and
peace and believing that ye may abide in hope through
the power of the Holy Ghost. Trust the doorway, the joy,
(04:30):
the peace or gifts. The overflow of hope is the
result by the spirit of the power, not our efforts.
When assurance becomes our anchor, joy becomes our overflow. Today,
don't chase joy, receive it. Understand that it is yours
(04:50):
as we trust the God who cannot fail, the Holy
Spirit fills us with a steady peace and spills into
confidence of hope. This is not optimistic. Again, this is
not optimism. It is assurance rooted in God's unbreakable promise.
(05:11):
Expect to end this day with overflow. You got to
have expectations. You got to believe that that that he
has said is going to come to pass. Little backstory
on this scripture. It was written in Romans is a.
It is Paul's letter to divert to a diverse church
in Rome learning to live as one family in Christ.
(05:34):
In chapter fifteen, Paul emphasized unity, endurance, and hope formed
by the scriptures and empowered by the spirit. And Romans
fifteen and thirteen is a prayer blessing that God, the
God of Hope, would fill the believers with joy and peace.
(05:54):
This joy we have, the world didn't give it, y'all,
and the world can't take it away. As you trust Him,
so you may overflow with hope, believing and trusting that
the things that He's spoken over your life they shall
come to pass. Hope and believing. That's believing in the
things that He's shared throughout that scripture, throughout the Bible,
(06:15):
that basic instructions before leaving nerves those things that we're
supposed to do. We can hope in those things because
his word is not going to return to him void.
The context is crucial. Jaw and peace are not manufactured
emotions like this is not something that we can make up.
This is not something that we can conjure. This is
not something that we can It is not It is
(06:38):
a gift, do you hearing It is a gift given
in the act of trusting, grounding in God's character and
promises for the people that are called to live as
one hum to live as one all. The word of
today is assurance. Assurance. Assurance is settled confidence in God's
(07:04):
character and promise overflow to abide in being measured. We
trust it. When we trust in Him and the Spirit,
it causes joy and hope to exceed our capacity. Y'all.
Our affirmation for today is I overflow with joy because
(07:30):
my assurance is in God, the one that created all things,
and I trust his process. So let's dive into today's lesson, y'all. Y'all,
assurance rests on God. God's promises are faithful as he
is unchanging, not like man. Joy isn't fragile when it
(07:52):
is a source. It is when its source isn't you
understand that you are not joy, but you are? You are,
You are a a A. It comes from the one
who cannot lie and does not fail. It comes from him.
It is a gift. It's not something that we can
(08:14):
conjure up. Assurance produce joy and peace as we trust him.
Trust is the doorway to joy and peace, as God
places in your hand as you walk through. The more
you lean into his promise, the more your soul settles
(08:34):
and the more joy rises. So trust him on today.
Assurance is spirit powered overflow. That is not will power.
It is the Holy Spirit power. He takes God. He
takes God's promises from the ink on these pages to
the fire in our heart, turning belief into bold hopes.
(08:57):
Trust him on today, and everything that you've written, every
word that you've read, y'all, is a promise and His
word it's gonna come the past. Assurance is spirit by overflow.
It is not well power. Again, I say, it is
the Holy Spirit's power. It takes God's promises from these
(09:19):
pages y'all, these journals that we write down, these things
that we got down and it places it in our hearts. Huh,
So turn your belief into bold hope on today, y'all.
Assurance grows in scripture in community. So, y'all, we got
to get out here and be in our community. We
got to be out here and be a part of
what's going on. We got to be out here and
(09:41):
be a part of the building of this kingdom. Paul
connects hope to what was written in Romans fifteen and four.
It said, when you rehearse God's track record in the
word and with God's people, assurance become a reflex and
not an expectation. It becomes natural. Well, it becomes something
that's gonna happen. If you do what you're supposed to do,
(10:04):
then the world is gonna die. And it's what is
supposed to happen in your life. It's gonna happen. It's
gonna be like a reflex. Just like you stand up,
you know that you're you're gonna walk. Naturally, you know
that you're if you're in the motion of standing up,
you're about to go and you're about to walk. So
that is a reflex. Insurance endures waiting in opposition. Joy
(10:29):
in assurance does not deny hardship, It defies it. Because
God's promise stands, joy can rise even before the promise
is visible. You gotta trust the process, y'all. You gotta
trust the process on this morning. God's promise are certain
(10:51):
because God is faithful. Numbers twenty three and nineteen says
come from the Blond narrative. Despite pressure to curse Israel,
God declares blessings could not be reversed. If he's given
you something, if he's spoken a blessing over your life,
if he's told you he's gonna do something, know that
(11:13):
he's gonna do it. His word is not going to
return void, and his word will not be reversed. It's
going to be fulfilled in your life. God is not fickle,
he's not biased, and he's definitely not manipulative. He does
not lie, nor does he change his mind. Is not
like human, So stand on his word today. You also
(11:34):
can go over to Hebrews ten and twenty three. It
urges the believers to hold fast because the promiser himself
is faithful. Our grip is strengthened by his grip on us.
So allow him to wrap his arms around you. Connect
with him spend time with him, allow him to show
up in your life because he is going to do
(11:56):
what he said he would do. So I want you
to reflect on this question, y'all, reflect on this? Where
am I treating God like a changeable human? What promise
have I hesitated to trust because of a past human disappointment? Huh?
Stop allowing things that have happened to you and what
(12:18):
people have done to you to stop you from believing
in God's word has been spoken over your life. You
pick up that Bible, you read that word. Understand that
that word applies to you just as he said. It
may say John, it may say Mary, it may say Mark,
but He's given those or our living instruction, the basic
living instructions that we're supposed to do before we leave
(12:41):
this earth. So we're supposed to pick that Bible up
and apply it to our life and allow that word
to manifest in us and through us. Understand that God
is faithful. Understand that every promise will find it's yea
yes in Jesus. Your assurance has a name. Huh. Second
(13:05):
Corinthians one. In twenty he said, Paul defines his integrity
by pointing to God's unchanging yes in Christ. Jesus is
the fulfillment and guarantee of God's covenant promise. His life
and death and resurrection confirms God's yes to salvation, presence,
(13:27):
and restoration. He said that he will never leave us
nor forsake us. He's always with us. If we make
our bed in hell, He's gonna be with us. Uh. So,
know that you gotta connect to joy. Your assurance isn't abstract.
It is anchored in the living Christ. If he lives,
your hopes stand and he lives through us. The Word
(13:50):
tells us that. So how does Jesus record resurrection specifically
validate the promise that I'm trusting God today? Because he
hung on that cross for us, y'all. He died for us,
He was buried, and he rolls again so that we
would have the right to eternal life, so that we
would have the right to repent, turn from our wicked ways.
(14:12):
And he said He's just to heal the land. So
trust and believe that God is yet working, no matter
what it looked like, No matter what it looked like,
Know that He's yet working, y'all. The Holy Spirit turns
trust into overflow of hope, joy and peace. If you
go back to the beginning. When we first read this stripper,
it says Romans fifteen and thirteen. It says, show a flow,
(14:39):
trust God the spirit. Feel you overflow with hope, joy,
peace or spirits gifts not self produced molds. And if
we go down to the Latians five and twenty two,
it reminds us. It reminds us joy and peace are
fruits of the spirit, life with the and growing as
(15:01):
we abide and not strive. We got to continue to
abide in his word. We got to continue to trust
his word. We got to continue to move and that
that He's called us to do. So how can we
apply these things to our life? How can we apply
these scriptures to our lives? First, y'all, we got to
begin to practice these three piece pause, pray and praise.
(15:30):
A lot of us we are reminded of these ppep loans,
but we won't pause, we won't pray, and we won't
give him praise. Y'all, if you want to transfer this
weight out of you, you want to lose some of
the stuff that's on you. You want to be in
line with the things that we know He's called us to.
(15:50):
You gotta pause, You gotta pray and you gotta praise
him so that he can move in your life. Y'all,
first pe and seven it is. It's not decisive. We
got peace follows surrendering. So surrender to him today. Give
(16:11):
it to him, cast all your cares upon him. I
want you to practice this three minute. I want you
to practice. It's a three minute practice that I want
you to do. Ex heal and name your burden plainly
before God, Say Father, I cast this to you, Picture
placing it in his hand, and then begin to thank
(16:33):
him for handling whatever situation you may be going through.
Asks for the next faithful step to obey him on today,
and we should incorporate this every day. Start your day
doing this. Start your day with a three minute practice
of ex healing and naming that burden plainly before God.
(16:55):
Anything that's troubling you on today, give it to him,
Tell him say I cast this on you, and picture
giving it to him, putting it in his hand, and
then just begin to praise him and thank him for
handling what you cannot hale. And then ask him what's
the next step. Ask him what it is that you're
(17:16):
supposed to be doing, and how can you continue on.
Plant a promise and meditate on every morning, mid morning, midday,
and night. Y'all. Plant the word so that it can
shift your thoughts God's truth and be meditate, y'all. Meditation
(17:39):
drives assurance from the head to your heart. So meditate
when you have time, simple rhythm. Morning, read the promise aloud,
Emphasize a different word each day. Midday, paraphrase in your
own word what you've read that morning. Keep speaking it
(17:59):
over your life, y'all. We got to get this word
rooted down in us so that when we begin to
face things, we're able to go through it. We're able
to pull up the word. We're able to place the
word and allow it to do what it's supposed to do.
And then at night, pray it back to God with gratitude.
Thank him for allowing you to get through this day,
(18:22):
and whatever he's done for you, thank him for it.
It's the little things, y'all. We don't even thank him
for waking us up this morning. We think that it
was the alarm clock, and we get up and we
just go about our natural routine, not giving him praise
for waking us up this morning. Because somebody didn't get
to see this day. But we got another chance. We
got another chance to get to get some things right
(18:43):
that we didn't get right on yesterday. So again I
challenge you. Put him in the midst of what you're doing.
Don't get so caught up in everyday life and what's
going on in this world. Because he told us we
got to be in this world, but not of this world.
So keep him first, Keep him first. I will not
(19:10):
fear for you or with me. I will not be dismayed,
for you are my God, my strength, my help, uphold
me with your righteous hand. Practice joy, by gratitude, and
worship before the feeling arivees now, even before you can
(19:35):
see something. Sometimes because a lot of us, if we
can't see it, we can't experience it. We don't like
to give him praise. And then sometimes we don't want
to praise, we don't want to praise, we don't want
to worship, and then until something comes up on us
and we're going through some things. But y'all, we got
to rejoice always. We got to rejoice always align with
(19:59):
the House yea abide in Christ and allow him to
lead us. As I close, I want to share a
recap of what we have learned this week starting with
(20:21):
day number eight. I want to share a recap of
what we have learned this week starting with day number eight.
Their number eight was confidence in God's plan. We focused
on Jeremiah twenty nine and eleven. God's intention towards you.
It's good. His plan is to give you hope in
(20:43):
the future. Day number nine was rest in God's tim
and we went to Ecclesiastics three and eleven. He makes
everything beautiful in his time. Trust his pace. Don't get
so caught up in what everybody else is doing and
(21:03):
why things are not happening in the way is happening
for others. You are not them. He fearfully and He
fearfully and wonderfully made each and every one of us
in his image. So we're not gonna be like our brothers,
are not gonna be like our sisters. I have twin nephews,
and when I tell you they are totally different, they
(21:24):
are totally different because they are uniquely and fearfully made
in His image. So I tell you to trust the
process and to know that God's timing is always on time,
and sometimes it may be delayed, but know that He
will never deny you Day ten, we talked about the
(21:48):
assurance of his presence. We went over to Psalms forty
six and ten, or that scripture says, be still and
know that he's God, y'all. He's present, he's powerful, and
he is near. He will never leave us north for sake,
because he said he left the comforter. So know that
you have something with you at all times. Trust his word.
(22:10):
Stand on his word because it will not return to
him void, y'all. Day number eleven, we focus on being
anchored in his truth. We went over to John eight
and thirty two. The truth will set you free. His
word secures your step. So know that believing and trusting
(22:32):
in his word, y'all, his word is not going to
return to him board. His word is the truth. His
word is powerful. His word. He's given us that power,
y'all to speak life of death. So know that we
can speak life of death over our own life. Understand
that Day twelve, y'all, we went over to We went
(22:56):
over to Tawo Peter's three verse number nine. Hope in
his promise, Hope in his promise. He is not slow,
he is yet faithful and patient. He is not slow.
He is yet faithful and patient, not microwave. He's not
(23:23):
He's not microwaving things. Sometime we got to go through.
We got to endure so that we can get the lesson.
We don't always understand why we are going through exactly
what it is. But you can hope in his promise.
You can hope in every word that has been spoken,
and know that it shall be performed in your life. Now,
(23:45):
He's not like man. They number thirteen, which was yesterday, y'all,
we talked about courage and silence. We went over to
Isaiah thirty and fifteen and returning and rest in salvation
and quietness and trust and the strength. Y'all. We gotta
(24:06):
return back to him. Some of us we tried everything.
We've tried to do it our way, but always not
the right way. His way is the only way, the
only way, so trust him. On today today we talked
about joy and his assurance. We focused on Romans fifteen
(24:27):
and thirteen. Trust unlocks the spiritual giving, joy, peace and overflower, hope.
How the pieces fit together, Understand the plan. God's good
intention removes fear about our future, his timing, his pace
(24:48):
removes striving in the present. His presence is near calms
your inner storm. His truth is his words reset your
perspective and decision making. His promises. He is faithful and
it fuels our endurance when the answer takes time. So
(25:12):
y'all understand that his word will not return to him bore.
Silence is the quiet way of making you strong without noise.
Joy is His spirit turns trust into unshakable overflow of hope.
So three things that I want you, guys, to carry
(25:37):
forward with you. Understanding stillness before action begins with be
stilled before you go and do surrendering to him. Understanding
that releasing deadlines and receiving God's appointments. Next thing, you
(25:58):
have to have scripture that confidence. Let the promises, not
your feelings. Let the promises of God. So go read
this word, pick it up, apply to your life, allow
it to manifest. But the promises of God, not your feelings,
have the final word. So this week, as we go forward,
(26:18):
I want y'all to reflect on these questions. Think about
them throughout the rest of this day, as we go
into our new week, as we go into our new
week of lessons and exploring what the word He has
given us. So this I want you to reflect on
this week? Where did God invite me to slow down?
(26:42):
Trust him and his time? And this week not my timing,
but his timing? How will you trust him? Secondly, which
promise most strengthened me? And how did it show up
in my real life? Go find these promises in the words,
y'ad He's given us promises things that He's gonna do
(27:03):
for us. Thirdly, what changes when I choose silence with
God before speaking and deciding? God? We have to allow
him to lead us. We had to allow him to
speak to us. We can't be about our own agenda. Humh.
(27:23):
And lastly, where did I experience a lift and joy
as I trusted? Y'all? Taking these different questions and asking
them to yourself at evaluating where you are thinking a
(27:44):
little deep, spending that time with him again, If you
could just only take five minutes every morning to do
these simple things that I'm about to share with you,
breathe in hell and be still know that I am God.
(28:05):
Say it, y'all, recall the next recall and name one
moment from each day that marked you. Then you got
to be able to receive pray Romans fifteen and thirteen
over yourself and your household. Lastly, I want you to
(28:26):
write down one obedient step for tomorrow. What will you
do tomorrow? And y'all do this every day. You got
to spend time with him. You got to explore it.
You've got to have hope in God's word. And thank
Him for steadying your heart this week. Thank him for
(28:50):
allowing you to receive the plans that he had for you.
Thank him for his time and thank him for his presence.
Thank him for his truth, his promise, and thank him
for filling you with the Holy Spirit that you may
have joy and peace. And trust him that He will
(29:11):
make overflow a part of your life and your blessings
for others. Understand that you are the overflow with joy
from the assurance in God. Speak it over your life.
Say I overflow with joy from the assurance of You
(29:36):
who created me. And memorize a few verses that you
can speak over your life throughout the day. Take time
to memorize this verse Romans fifteen and thirteen. May the
God of Hope fill you with joy, all joy and
peace as you trust him. May the God of Hope
(29:59):
feel you with all joy and peace as you trust him,
so that you may overflow with hope by the power
of the Holy Spirit, y'all, as we wrap up a
week of acquiet assurance. It's not loud, but it is unshakable,
(30:23):
and it produces joy that overflows, y'all, as we look
ahead to tomorrow, as we approach our final week of
this devotion, the title of the week's lesson is a
everlasting praise, A everlasting praise, a everlasting praise. We're gonna
(30:51):
be talking about gratitude as we go into our first day.
Our first lesson is gratitude in presence. We're gonna be
in Psalm sixteen and we're gonna focus on verse number eleven.
I pray that you guys will join me back here
on tomorrow for another daily devotion as we continue this journey, y'all,
(31:16):
As we continue this journey. As we continue this journey,
I'm gonna share this poem with you, guys, because every
day there's a poem, a short one stands, a poem
for versus after each devotion. Because I am a poet
and I believe in sharing my gifts and talents, so
it says this poem is in His presence, Joy abounds,
(31:41):
a hope that never ends. His spirit is unresound with joy,
our hope. I'm sorry, with joy our heart extends, and
I'm gonna read it again. It said in his promises,
joy abounds, a hope that never ends. His spirit is
(32:02):
in us, resounds with joy, our heart extends, and that's
set piece. I pray that there's been something that I've
shared with you, Gods that will bless you on today.
If I've shared anything that blesses you, invite someone to
join with us on tomorrow and share what has been
shared with you. I pray that God will bless everything
(32:25):
that has gone forth on today, Lord god Father, I
thank you for just another opportunity that I can share
your word. Father, I hope that it had fallen on
good soul, Lord God. Diseased will be, will be planet
and will be watered until that they may produce fruit.
Lord god Father, we thank you for yet another opportunity.
And Father asks we leave this live, Lord God and
(32:48):
going out into this world, Lord God, because your word
said that we had to be in this world. Father
asked that you would give us traveling mercies for those
that are going out and have to be out and about,
Lord God Father, shield and take every mold or transportation
that will be taking on today, Lord God, allow everyone
to get to their destination and return home safely to
their friends and their families. Or God Father, we thank
(33:10):
you for your son Jesus that hung on that cross,
that died for us, that was buried and resurrected so
that we may have the right to eternal life. Father.
We thank you right now that you have done all
that you are doing and all that you shall do. Father,
we ask that you would just have your way, Lord God,
and cover us as we go out into this world.
(33:30):
Keep us from knowing from all hurt home or danger.
Lord God, but Father, allow us to be a living
testimony that somebody that may come in contact with us,
that may not know you, that they would come to
know you on today, Lord God Father, I thank you
and I see these prayers and your son Jesus' name. Amen. Amen, Amen. Again.
I thank you guys for joining me. I thank you
(33:52):
for being a part of daily devotion. Start your day
off with him, regardless of what you're going through, regardless
of what may happen, regardless of how you feel, y'all,
just give him some time. He just wants you to
acknowledge him, No, we are not perfect people. We will
never be perfect people. We all fall short of his glory.
(34:12):
But he gives us a chance to repent, to turn
from those things. And he said He's just to forgive us.
But not only will here forgive us. We got to
forgive ourselves as we forgive others, y'all. So Father, I
thank you guys for joining me. If you were like
a copy of this devotion, on any of the devotions
that I have, you can go over to my website
(34:33):
which is Www. Angela Thomas Smith books dot com. Again,
that is Www. Angela Thomas Smith books dot com. And
I hope that you guys will be blessed again. Hope
to see you back here on tomorrow. God's willing y'all
have a great day beyond what you can see in
