For there our captors demanded a song from us; and our plunderers demanded gladness, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
River of Babylon denoted a place of mourning, its a place where everything is laden with sorrow and pain. So you will find that anything operating in this river does not flow be it be marriage, job, business family etc. This place is a river of sorrow and pain, misery and mourning. The bible says that God has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness (2 Pe1v3) and when God gives you something the devil always has alternatives. Remember that the work of the kingdom of darkness is in direct opposite of everything that God instituted.
In marriage a man is blessed with a wife and the devil patiently waits with an option so when the marriage is exposed to trials the devil provides a mistress who will be so nice to the man or a boyfriend who will be so nice to the wife. Many who have however married their mistresses and boyfriends later discovered that the journey is still the same, some had to endure pain and sorrow till death. From the river of Babylon you can get anything but it always has sorrow and pain attached to it. Some trade their body parts for money but they will live to regret. There is nothing good from Babylon. Every gift that has sorrow with it is from the river of Babylon, when God blesses you with a gift He adds no sorrow to it. Pro 10:22 The blessing of Jehovah itself makes rich, and He adds no sorrow with it.
God has a plan for you remember each and everyone of us is fearfully and wonderfully made. God has too much love for us way too much love. Sorrow and pain is not our portion in this land of the living. The main reason we continue in sorrow and pain is that we use our own strength to tackle life's challenges yet God has given us all the appropriate weaponry to use in warfare. He has given us of His own spirit the Holy Spirit and it is the Holy Spirit anointing which breaks the yoke of bondage, it breaks the yoke of pain and sorrow, it destroys the babylonian spirit which ruled us when we where not yet born again.
John 7v37-39, Acts 1v8, Acts2v1-4
We are all partakers of the same Holy Spirit which God has given as a witness and has given without measure.The Holy Spirit gives us the liberty to be adopted as God's children and with it we cry Abba Father. On our we are limitation based on the five senses that's why we need the enablement by the Holy Spirit. Rom 8 v26-27 The Holy Spirit helps in prayer, He intercedes for us according to God's will. Acts10v38 anointing comes with the Holy Spirit but we need to fire it up. Jude v20 Praying in the Holy Ghost until faith comes and fear disappears. Pray in tongues has power because your prayer is directed by the spirit of God. Faith activates miracles.
Then David declares in Psa 16:11 You will make Me know the way of life; in Your presence is fullness of joys. At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 46v4 River of God whose channels makes a city glad. This joy comes when we have received the Holy Spirit power. Joy refreshes your soul and Joy is infectious it even pulls down walls of depression. If the devil can't depress you then he can't oppress you. This is why we need the Holy Spirit which is the manifest presence of God in our lives. There are a lot of advantages we receive with the presence of the Holy Spirit. God has provided a trading ground through the death of Jesus where we can trade our shame, our weaknesses, our sicknesses, our limitations for the joy of the Lord. Rom 14:17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Stay Blessed.
