A powerful anointing of unspeakable joy comes into your soul when you love righteousness and you hate wickedness and you live like it.
Psalms 45
7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
The oil of gladness is a powerful form of Gods joy from the inside. It has nothing to do with circumstances on the outside.
Myrrh, aloes, and cassia were a burial spice mixture for embalming, it represents sacrificial obedience. Garments represent your actions. Your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia when you obey God and suffer for it. Myrrh means bitter, but it makes you better. Cassia means stripped and humbled, but it’s used to anoint kings. Aloe is used to heal what was hurt.
Romans 14
17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
You enter into the kingdom of God thru faith in Jesus Christ with fruits of repentance and grace. After that, it’s a continual upward swirl of righteousness, then peace, and then joy in the Holy Ghost.
