Joy unspeakable, is indeed the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Joy is the second mentioned, out of nine fruit of the Spirit, (Gal 5:22). It is the very nature of the Holy Spirit. A person who has the Spirit within him surely has the joy of the Holy Spirit. It is an evidence of the presence of the Spirit within an individual. Joy of the Lord is an inner feeling of pleasure and delight that cannot be attributed to any happenings or circumstances around you, but to the relationship one has with the Spirit. It is an assurance of God's presence with you no matter the circumstances. It is what keeps you going when the storms of life are raging.

Sometimes, people confuse joy in the Spirit with happiness. Happiness results from attainment of what one considers good, but the joy of the Spirit results from an in-filling of the Holy Spirit. Happiness is characterized by good luck or fortune. This means that when there is misfortune, happiness disappears and misery sets in - it is momentary.

However, this is not the case with Christian joy; even when there is a misfortune, the person is still joyful. Certainly, the person acknowledges the mishap but is not moved or discouraged by it. Joy in the Spirit boosts one's resilience.

Joy of the Spirit is first secured by accepting the Lord Jesus as your saviour. At salvation, you are filled with the Holy Spirit and you receive the joy of the spirit, (Rom 5:11, Psalm 51:12).

When the Spirit has more control over you, you will experience more of the Christian joy.
