Laugh It Up! – It’s More Important Than Your Think!

How much do you laugh?  Did you know you can use laughter as a weapon?  I know you’re wondering how & why, so let’s talk about it.

The answer to the above questions can be found in the bible where God instructs us to focus on positive things in Philippians 4:8 (amp); For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].  God tells us to do that because He knows that whatever you are focusing on will grow in our spiritual eyes.  Haven’t you noticed that when you keep talking & telling someone your problem, the problem just seems to get bigger & you get angrier?  Then the problem seems to now be bigger than you can handle and impossible to overcome or defeat.  Once this happens, hopelessness gets in and the pressure to give up feels tremendous & too much to bare! Proverbs 17:22 (amp); A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.

However, if you concentrate & focus on God’s solution to the problem, the solution now gets larger in your spiritual eyes, your faith builds, you feel stronger & more powerful, then the problem shrinks in your eyes as you see yourself squishing it like a bug! I don’t know about you but God’s power fills me with joy & it makes me laugh.  So does killing something that was trying to kill me!  I enjoy stepping on the problem like it was a roach.  Now can you see how laughter can be used as a weapon?

God wants you to experience His great power in your life & laughter helps to open a portal for that power to enter your life bringing God to your problem.

Now, I’m not talking about laughing at others, putting them down to feel better about you.  I have to say that because I hear those fleshly demons talking to you as we speak.  I’m talking about laughing about the many things that are good about this life & how others see it. That’s why I love “stand-up”  & “situation” comedies.  It’s funny to see how people use humor & laughter to lift their own spirits no matter the situation.  It is an encouragement for us to do the same thing.  When you look at the world you can tell God has a sense of humor.  In addition, I’m also talking about laughing in Satan’s face when he comes to attack you.

Look, we all have challenges in our lives & Satan is hitting us in every way that he can.  But God has already told us how this battle ends; John 16:33 (cev); I have told you this, so that you might have peace in your hearts because of me. While you are in the world, you will have to suffer. But cheer up! I have defeated the world; so lighten & loosen up!  Make the decision once & for all about whom you believe.  Do you believe what your problem is saying to you or do you believe what God is saying?  It doesn’t matter what things look like. Aren’t we supposed to be walking by what we say we believe & not by what we see; 2 Corinthians 5:7 (cev); But we live by faith, not by what we see.

So, people of God, let’s start laughing!  Laugh it up!  Laugh at Satan, laugh at your problems, laugh because God has already set you up to win every battle because God has already won the war!  The fight has been fixed in your favor!

 So go out today and laugh on purpose.  Smell the roses, listen to the birds singing, go get a massage, go to a good comedy club.  Begin to fill your life with the things that make you smile, laugh & bring you joy!

Now don’t run out and swing the pendulum too far to the other side.  I know we can’t laugh & play all day. Our lives need to be well-balanced, work & play. But we’ve all seen too many, too serious Christians who see Satan & problems under every rock.  If you are one of those too serious Christians begin to ask God to show you how to let things go & trust Him more.  Ask Him to show you how to just laugh.

This world is yours for the taking so go out and take your share.  Spend time laughing with God as you & He plan your take over.  Use laughter as you work that plan in your life & watch your dreams manifest & your purpose fulfilled!

When you use laughter to enjoy your life, you can see how blessed you are in spite of any & every problem.  Laughing cuts the throat of your enemy, starving him of its power over you.  So throw you head back, hold your stomach & laugh out loud!

Laughing is a weapon, so go get as much practice using it as you can!  Laugh it up!
