You cannot be made happy by someone telling you to be happy unless what they are telling is what makes you happy.
And in contradiction to those who are wiser than I am, happiness is not a state of mine nor is it a choice. We cannot simply think ourselves happy although we may trick or deceive our minds from time.
Happiness is not an absolute conclusion or event whereby it is the same for everyone. What makes one person happy may make another person miserable.
I believe that happiness is wrapped up in the nature or soul of a person’s spirit. I think that happiness may have its beginnings in the following scenarios which may reveal the character of a person spirit:
A person is happy because they are in their ideal setting and have sufficiency in the things that their heart desires.
Happiness maybe the voluntary surrender of one’s desires, hope and dreams for the cause and benefit of a person or cause that is valued above one’s self and one’s personally fulfillment.
Happiness maybe rooted in one’s totally commitment to one’s self or one’s vocation and/or gifts.
Happiness maybe rooted and grounded in one’s financial and material wealth and social status.
Happiness could be the result of how others see you and how you see yourself relative to others.
Happiness could be the result of wanting for yourself what God wants for you.
Happiness maybe when one pleases YHVH.
Of course unhappiness would be the negative and opposite of the 7 things stated above.
This is just my take on things.
God is truth and He doesn’t change but happiness changes from person to person. Happiness is different things to different people for different reasons. Therefore, “happiness cannot be the truth” as one song writer erroneously states.

Enemies of God, disobedient and rebellious workers of iniquity, brazen practitioners of vile transgressions, rapists, thieves, murders, drunkards and the shameless, the vulgar, the promiscuous, the greedy and the insatiably unholy…
One Time A Year…
Those who refuse to be baptized in the name of Christ, those who have rejected GOD’S TRUTH and those who were never gifted by GOD with the promised HOLY SPIRIT…
One Time A Year…
All worldly souls acknowledge, celebrate and worship the Christmas Spirit and pretend that they are followers of FATHER YHVH in CHRIST.
ONE TIME A YEAR The whole World, along with her churches and deceived priests, false prophets and gullible congregations have all bowed down in idolatry to worship the image of the beast and proclaim allegiance to demonic spirits.
ONE TIME A YEAR, folks who do not keep the Commandments of God nor remember His Holy Seventh Day Sabbath to keep it Holy; faithfully and passionately buy Christmas gifts, attend Christmas celebrations and Christmas worship services and spend billions of dollars in the name of Christmas.
ONE TIME A YEAR everyone pretends to be in Christ and loving toward everyone and obedient to God by wishing each other a MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Hypocrisy! Blasphemy! Liars!
Christmas is not a substitute for obedience to God’s Commandments and there isn’t any salvation in its pagan celebration.
Christmas is not a substitute for REPENTANCE, BAPTISM IN WATER INTO THE NAME OF CHRIST AND BEING GIFTED BY GOD WITH HIS HOLY SPIRIT.
Christmas is not a substitute for HOLINESS and celebrating it sure is not an indication that you belong to GOD.
DON’T BE DECEIVED ANY LONGER!
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, only those who do what my Father in heaven wants. 22 On that Day, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord! Didn’t we prophesy in your name? Didn’t we expel demons in your name? Didn’t we perform many miracles in your name?’ 23 Then I will tell them to their faces, ‘I never knew you!Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness! (Matthew 7:21-23)
REPENT BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!
Matthew 15:8-10 8 ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far away from me. 9 Their worship of me is useless,because they teach man-made rules as if they were doctrines.’”
You are not receiving this warning by accident but by divine providence. God wants you to be saved from the wrath to come and from the judgment of HIS eternal damnation.
And the great Dragon was cast down, that Chief Serpent, which is called The Devil and Satan, which deceives all The Earth, and it was cast down unto The Earth and its Angels were cast down with it. (Revelation 12:9)
Satan has deceived the whole world as prophesied and Christmas is one of the worldwide deceptions of Satan and many believers are in the deception. (Colossians 2:8 and 1 Timothy 3:13)
Ezekiel 13:1-16 The word of Adonai came to me: 2 “Human being, prophesy against the prophets of Isra’el who prophesy. Tell those prophesying out of their own thoughts, ‘Listen to what Adonai says! 3 Adonai Elohim says: “Woe to the vile prophets who follow their own spirits and things which they have not seen! 4 Isra’el, your prophets have been like jackals among ruins. 5 You [prophets] have not gone up to the breaks in the barricade or repaired it for the house of Isra’el, so that they can stand fast in battle on the day of Adonai. 6 Their visions are futile and their divination is false; they say, ‘Adonai says,’ when Adonai has not sent them; yet they hope that the word will be confirmed. 7 Haven’t you had a futile vision and spoken a false divination when you say, ‘Adonai says,’ and I have not spoken? 8 Therefore here is what Adonai Elohim does say: ‘Because you have spoken futilities and seen falsehoods, therefore I am against you,’ says Adonai Elohim.
9 “‘“My hand will be against the prophets who have futile visions and produce false divinations; they will not be allowed into the council of my people, or be written in the register of the house of Isra’el, or enter the land of Isra’el. Then you will know that I am Adonai Elohim. 10 They deserve this, because they have led my people astray by saying there is peace when there is no peace. If someone builds a wall without mortar, they ‘plaster’ it with whitewash [to make it appear strong]. 11 Tell these ‘plasterers’ that a cloudburst is coming, with huge hailstones and gale-force winds; 12 and the wall will fall down. Then people will ask you, ‘Where is the whitewash you used to “plaster” it?’” 13 Therefore Adonai Elohim says: “In my rage I will cause gale-force winds to break out, and in my anger there will come a cloudburst, with huge hailstones to consume it in fury. 14 This is how I will break down the wall you covered with whitewash — I will smash it to the ground, so that its foundation will be revealed. The wall will fall down, and you will be consumed with it. Then you will know that I am Adonai. 15 In this way I will spend my fury on the wall and on those who covered it with whitewash; and I will say to you, ‘The wall is gone, and so are those who “plastered” it,’ 16 that is, the prophets of Isra’el who prophesy about Yerushalayim and see visions of peace for her when there is no peace,” says Adonai Elohim.’
The mouth of the LORD has spoken. Hear what THE SPIRIT is saying unto the EKKLESIA of CHRIST. (Psalm 69:28)
Being labeled as a professional entertainer or actor doesn’t exempt anyone from the command to be holy and it doesn’t excuse anyone from obeying God’s ETERNAL MORAL LAWS of HOLINESS nor does it give them a license to be obscene, vulgar, profane, pornographic or commit adultery by engaging in intimate sex scenes in movies and videos, etc.
DON’T GET IT TWISTED!
Just because they call it acting or performing arts and credential it as “professional” doesn’t make it right with THE LORD.
The Devil Is A Liar and they deceive themselves for money, fame and celebrity.
Can you tell the difference between what they do and what whores, madams and pimps do? It is all called “entertainment.”
“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ… with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves.” (Galatians 6:2 and Philippians 2:3)
“My brethren, if any of you should be overtaken by a fault, you who are in The Spirit should restore him in the spirit of humility, and be cautious lest you also be tempted.” (Galatians 6:1)
The Holy Scripture gives instructions to the *Saints of FATHER YHVH that we should not condemn or damn a fellow Saint who may have been caught and overtaken by immorality but gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path.
The Scripture indicates that if we condemn them and cast them out from us, we are setting ourselves up to be the next person caught in a transgression.
This doesn’t mean that saints ought to overlook sexual immorality within their fellowship (1 Corinthians 5:1-5, Ephesians 5:3). But when the one who is caught in temptation truly repents, we who are mature in the HOLY SPIRIT should seek to restore a fallen and repentant soul in a caring and loving spirit.
Footnote: *Saints – Those who have believed the Gospel of the Kingdom of God as preached and taught by Christ and His Apostles and have been buried with Christ by Baptism into water in His name as commanded by God and who have been gifted by Father YHVH with HIS RUACH HA KODESH – THE HOLY SPIRIT.
I must say the following before I forget what the LORD has allowed me to see:
Mankind abandoned God (YHVH) before Christ was ever born of Mary.
Mankind has been deceiving itself with its own versions of THE ONE TRUE GOD for millennia.
Mankind has been deceiving itself with substitutes for GOD’S Eternal Moral Ten Commandments since time immemorial.
The names for these false religions and demonic doctrines are too numerous to list and are so well disguised that it will take a revelation from Yahweh for one to see it.
But we have all experienced them at sometimes in our lives.
Some of the ministers of these false religions, false doctrines, ungodly disciplines and new age morality are well-known religious celebrities, politicians, entertainers, church leaders and everyday folks who use every means necessary – including media propaganda – to indoctrinate and deceive the whole world into a false sense of peace and salvation. (Jeremiah 6:13-15)
Instead of Repenting and Confessing and Submitting to the Eternal LOVE, LAW and COMMANDS of YHVH, mankind and her princes have been employed by Satan to establish his kingdom and rule on earth so as to oppose the LORD in every possible way and continue the war that he began in HEAVEN; the angelic rebellion that sealed his unavoidable fate. Satan knows that his time ain’t long and now he is ravenous and increasingly aggressive about warring against GOD and GOD’S people.
The End Times Are Coming To A Dramatic and Prophetic Conclusion Soon and Satan wants to steal, kill and destroy as many of God’s sheep as he can lure away from the path of SPIRIT and TRUTH.
Before you listen to any man, woman, boy or girl; listen to CHRIST. Listen to the HOLY SPIRIT OF YEHOWSHUA HA’ MASHIACH.
HE CANNOT LIE. HE NEVER CHANGES. ALL HIS WAYS ARE RIGHT AND JUST – PERFECT FROM THE BEGINNING.
REPENT!
