''Joy of the Lord'' (Spontaneous) | Melissa Helser & Cageless Birds | Live at the 18 Inch Journey 

I was born in a Muslim family ...but the love that I have in my heart for Jesus Christ is huge ..I can proudly say that I am a Christian now and GOD has shown that he loves me too...

I have spent my entire life looking for a father that delights in me. I met him tonight. God knows how to have fun and He absolutely loves us

Jesus saved me from my lowest points in life. I became very depressed with no emotion, and constantly tried to fulfill my happiness with worldly things. I am 24 years old and have opened my heart to following Christ. He moves in miracles, if he saved me he can save you. prayers to all 💓

My husband has struggled with drugs for several years now. I can feel our breakthrough coming and the enemy is trying everything to stop him from receiving his healing and freedom. But Jesus has conquered death! And I’m declaring that nothing can stop Gods plan for my husband and our family! Lord, let Your JOY lift us up!! Give us the strength we need!! ❤️

UPDATE: I am well now!!! No more Covid! Thanks for all the prayers. Jesus is awesome! At the exact time that I was unsure of the next breath coming, I found this song. Then I called a prayer warrior- friend, who prayed over me as you were singing about His Joy. I have the strength to breathe again. Covid 19 is not any fun, but fellowship with Jesus brings ultimate healing. He has a plan for me! Loving this session... I am playing it again and again...🦋 #Strengthtofightthediseaseandwin

What she says at the end is so tender and sweet. I loved hearing those words. Restoring the joy of your birth, of your existence, yes God!

I am from Brazil. I've been loving and listening to all spontaneous worship you've posted. I am Grateful to God for your lives.

I'm battling cancer but I still and will always believe that my God never stops working! My God the way maker, miracle worker, promise keeper and a light in the darkness. I will always believe!

Even online, the anointing and powerful depth of the joy of the Lord was felt. Immensely grateful.

I just love the name of this ministry ! " Cageless Birds " 😊🙏🏽

I was just asking Abba Father for His joy today. Was feeling heavy. Then this came up on my feed. Thank You Papa! ❤️🙌🏻

Our Highest Father of All highlighted Nehemiah 8:10 to me during church service this past November. At the same time He was teaching me the difference between serving Him out of respectful obedience and serving Him out of sonship. I was sacrificing day and night for the Lord but often it was tiring, unfulfilling, I was drained, beginning to isolate from my church more often in order to read more scripture and pray more that God would break me from my exhaustion... Our caring Father spoke to me through Nehemiah 8:10 "My joy is your strength. MY joy. You keep asking to be given back your joy but I didn't take it from you! It was already mine and I can't give you joy outside of Myself! You are weak right now, yes, but only because you're forgetting who's you are... MY great joy is when you're just here with me. You're working for Me but not with Me, and you know what? I missed you so much. It's sweet to see your smile again! Let's dance together when you're at work! Sing with Me while you're at the store! Sit with me when you eat and include Me in all your conversations b/c I've never left you. You are My joy and I am yours. Let that truth strengthen your confidence to go where I go, work where I work, speak what I speak!" So that's one of my most recent testimonies! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to happy-cry again!

Make sure you test positive for FAITH, Keep distance from DOUBTS , isolate from FEAR and Remember to Trust GOD through it all❤🙏🏽.

I felt STRONG presence of the HOLY Ghost everytime I play this song. From the very beginning when I clicked the play button, all the way to the end. I tell y'all, the ANOINTING of the HolySpirit overflows. Don't doubt, just surrender, yield, soak, and worship Jesus - our one true LORD, our source of everlasting joy & peace 🕊️🔥💙🙌🏼

we became grandparents for the fifth time today and that is so wonderful, how must our dad in heaven be happy about us? It became a girl named Lexi Elana and she is really wonderful.

Hi, I'm from Chile. This Spontaneous have been changing the atmosphere in my house and family!!! Thank u so much for let God use you all.

Yes you feel the Father's delight.... 💕 You didn't do anything, HE loves YOU because YOU are HIS. Amen!

I believe the Father is speaking this same word over all of His children in this season! I’m hearing it so many places! Love the picture you got as well!

God desires complete connection with us all of the time one to one and corporately but mostly one to one .. not third party not through pastors or teachers or preachers but just you and him in complete and total union together in a complete relationship yielding to his power and spirit leaning on his grace his favour his mercy and his goodness.. remember no one can teach you more about jesus than jesus himself and spending time in the beauty of his presence

The Violin Guy is the real MVP, greetings from Germany!

When I first found this I was sitting in jail , bound by chains of sin and addiction . A pastor brought in a dvd of Cageless Birds and the Holy Spirit followed shortly afterwards. I became lost again in the times and news and fear of the darkness around me , and J even let it in . I’m using this now as a GPS to find my way back home to Jesus ! Praise is the Key to the chains that bind you ! He Is Worthy , He wants you to be free , Praise His Holy Name ! He is The Light , Amen

I am from South Africa🇿🇦🇿🇦, and wow this is indeed some intense worship, Glory be to our God, he deserves to be worshiped, hallelujah

I’ve watched this so many times. I was struggling to appreciate my own birth and life. This song and Melissa’s message have been God’s gift to me to remind me how much joy HE has in my birth. Thank you for this. I feel so comforted every time I watch

Lol, joy hit me in the 1st 2 minutes. Thank y'all. I needed that!

Deu 31:6 - “Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.”

I really wish I could be in that room one day, even as a back bencher. Your ministry really blesses my soul. May God keep you all and your families.

My favorite worship now. Thank you God for giving me life🙏

Thank You Lord. Thank you dear brothers and sisters. The Lord continues to bless you all to bring us near to the heart of the Father. Yeshua is the King! He is the gift of the Father for us!! Rejoice in Him!! Alleluia! Greetings from Italy

At a time when our family has gone through some set-backs, a new baby was born to us just 2 days ago, and I felt like the Lord spoke to me that life goes on and there is always new hope and cause for rejoicing, and then I found this!

Joy of the Lor is lifting us! The Lord's incredible delight, and joy of being with us! Whhhaaattt!?? :D Soo cool guys. This marvelous God who just loves being with us. Thank you so much for just living it out. woot woot to ya all! Loving you all from France

I needed this so much, to be restored to Joy with Yeshua! I got a concussion over a week ago and the Lord is allowing me to go through this to get myself quiet with him again because I've lost sight of it all, and made it too complex. Thank you so much for this ❤️

Peace love Joy and happiness forever to everybody Johnathan Melissa and cageless birds yes and amen

HE IS LIFTING US! They who wait upon the Lord will mount up with wings as an eagle they will run and not be weary and walk and not faint.

Bless All at the 18inch Journey and Cageless Birds for this Beautiful Ministering to our Lord JESUS x!

The very first time when I met Jonathan was in Berlin, couple years ago. In a very small church less then 20 members. I didn't know who he is, a friend invited me, there is a guy from the states coming, let worship together. I stand with him on the stage, looked in his eyes: WHO IS THIS GUY! I thought, he is a miracle! I stopped with music just hugged him :) Listen to his father's Story Ken ;) I love this family

So beautiful to see people of all ages loving and praising our Lord!! ❤️🙌❤️

Such an awesome place for worship. I need some of that Deep Deep Joy. Powerful worship God is Good. 🙏

Thank you for this music. I sit on my porch in the evening watching the sunset listening to your music. It is anointed and lifts me up. I hope you will come back to Winston-Salem. I would love to be in this worship. God' s continued blessings.

I was singing there’s no condemnation in Christ Jesus ( im not sure why but I was seeing that scripture) as this group was singing. Worshiping in Spirit and in Truth is wonderful
