Prayers For Joy And Laughter
Joy and Laughter
Joy and laughter are returning to My house and My people, says the LORD. I Am pouring out and pouring in My Spirit of rejoicing, and it will flow you and affect all that is around you, says the LORD. It will break out to on the left and right side.
It will penetrate and radiate and explode in the midst of you. As I said I would give joy for sorrow, this is the season of great joy. The darkness is defeated and the light of a new day is upon you. I have defeated the depression that has held you back.
I have taken the hopelessness away and permeated you with NEW HOPE in ME, says the LORD. I have given you a new song in the night that is a song of praise and thanksgiving, for a new day is coming. I Am invading you with My Spirit of favor and you will know that your hope is not in vain.
I will do what I promised and bring you the wilderness to possess the land of your promise, says the LORD.
You will stand amazed by My blessings, says the LORD. As you embrace the things that I have prepared for you, you will be in awe of My limitless power that I put on display. You will not look back at the times of testing for the glory that is around you.
Your patience and waiting will be fully rewarded, for I will breakthrough the darkness and give you light. I will loose you from the shackles and liberate you. Joy will erupt from you a volcano and spill from you in an unrestrained way.
For the days of mourning are spent and I will have joy and laughter in My house and in My people, says the LORD.Prophet Dr. June Reinke has been the Senior pastor of Prophetic Light International,Bible School and Christian Ministries, Inc. in Dade City, Florida for over 29 years.She has been a revivalist, author and has operated in the prophetic gift, including Word of Knowledge for decades.

I AM the One who is keeping you night and day, says the Lord. Even when you sleep, I have a watchful eye over you. You are safe and secure in ME at all times. I do not change. Your care today and tomorrow is not more difficult for me than that of the past. I have lead you continually. I have fed you.
I have always cared for you and you are never my sight. There is nothing that is insignificant about you, and I know every thought that you think. I have numbered every hair of your head and know exactly what color they are and where they are located. Nothing is too difficult for Me and you are no exception.
I can handle not only all the things that pertain to you, but you as well, says the LORD.
Trust in My goodness and mercy for you. Trust that I care for you. Trust in My love. Trust that I desire good things for you and AM not angry with you. I love you unimpeachably and I have forgive every sin that you have committed. All has been cleansed by My blood, and all that you will ever need has been accomplished by My finished work on the cross for you.I did not leave anything undone, and knew all that you would require before you were even conceived. I prepared for you. Only believe and receive what I have for you without cost. I have paid for it. Just accept My gifts to you. I will lead and guide you with MY eye, and complete you.
Yes, you will not be incomplete, for I Am your builder and Maker, and I do all things well, and this includes you, says the LORD.

There are many, many that I have allowed to go into the fiery trials of affliction, not to destroy them, but to show them My grace and protection and power, says the LORD. For you are not alone. Just as I was with the three Hebrew Children in the fiery furnace, I not only put them on display, but I put Myself on display. I displayed MYSELF to be unsurpassed.
I displayed Myself to be invincible. I displayed Myself to BE the LORD of LORD’s. I put on display that there IS NO POWER or AUTHORITY that can threaten Me or dictate or order Me, says the LORD. I proved for ALL TO SEE that I AM unshakable and unmovable. I will be that in you.
I am putting Myself on display in your live and the unsurpassed power that cannot be defeated. I Am with you in the fire. Others may gawk at you, mock you, scorn you, and even laugh at you. But I laugh at the enemy. I laugh at those who are laughing at you. For I Am on your side to secure you even in the fire.
The flames will not burn you or singe you or destroy you or even touch you, for you will not even have the smell of smoke on you, says the LORD.I Am the one who has caused you to be unfettered and unbound in the fiery trials. I will not be mocked and I will bring you the furnace of affliction, I will cause those who were laughing to put their hands over their mouths.
I will cause those who were the dictators and the false authorities to be silent. I will bring you out and up, for you will not ever be the same again. I have allowed you to be a spectacle so that I can show forth My glory.
As you have walked with Me in the furnace of affliction and fiery trying of your faith, so shall you walk with Me in the newness that I Am preparing for you. You will be the unshakable, unmovable that will always abound in Me and My work.
For I will promote you and you will see that the glory that is yet to come will be great and the afflictions light in comparison for what I am shifting you into, says the LORD

I Am your defense, says the LORD. As your advocate, I Am always on your side to help you. I Am in complete control and not subject to any person, place or thing. Everything and everyone is subject to ME. I Am the Almighty, and I Am in control. Though things seem to have been spinning control, I Am not in the chaos. I Am not the Author of the storms of your life.
I AM your peace. I Am your place of safety. I AM your covering and hiding place. I Am your shield. I will keep you in every storm of life and give you refuge. Nothing can reach you or invade you in My presence, says the LORD, for My presence cannot be infiltrated by the enemy.
HE has no access of Me, so when you run to Me for safety, you will be untouchable and unreachable, says the LORD.
I have commissioned My angels to surround you, protect you and war over you, says the LORD. They are fierce and undefeatable. They will enforce My kingdom purposes and all that pertains to you.
Trust that you are never vulnerable to the onslaught of the enemy as you commit yourself and all your ways onto Me, says the Lord. I Am always with you and on task to keep you secure and safe.
Trust that I Am able to provision you, and there Is nothing that I cannot and will not do for you. You are never My sight and I Am your caregiver at all times, says the LORD.

The Wonders of God.
Dear Lord,
I praise you for you are an Amazing Artist.
You are the Master Painter of our World.
From your palette, you brushed the world with splashes of forest green, sky blue, and sunny yellow.
You created lush jungles of jade and arid deserts of gold.
You formed majestic mountains, and then you took scoops of brilliant white snow and topped their peaks.
You shaped multi-layered canyons and adorned them with copper-colored hues.
Your exquisite creation is vibrant and full of variety.
Joy and thankfulness rise in me as I meditate on the beauty of your world.
Amen

After telling my friend, Linda, about a
Spectacular Shoe Shopping Spree that I had –
I received a birthday card from Linda.
William Shakespeare was on the front, and inside it said:
To thine own self give shoes.
What great advice!
Do I hear an “amen” from the women?
Question:
What shoe is the most fun shoe?
Answer:
Flip flops
They are the slap-happy shoes !

Bible Verses About Joy, Laughter
Home>Benefits Of Laughter>Bible Verses About Joy, Laughter
We believe the following 22 Bible verses about joy have the power to turn your attitude around.
In the words of American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr “Humor is a prelude to faith and laughter is the beginning of prayer.” St. Thomas Aquinas himself said “It is requisite for the relaxation of the mind that we make use, from time to time, of playful deeds and jokes.“

8 Bible Verses About Joy in the New Testament
Notice that the verses about Christ and his coming speak emphatically of joy. This is why many of the Christmas carols have the word “joy” in them: Christ brings joy!
- “Although you have not seen Jesus, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy.” — Peter 1:8
- “Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh!” — Luke 6:21

Holy Laughter
A few churches in the USA use laughter for inner healing, and it works for them. Read more.
Here is what Rev. John and Pattie Chappell (www.laughcry.org) recommend you do: “When you are feeling discouraged or have hurts that need healing, close your eyes, force yourself to raise your head, and begin praising the Lord in tongues or English for a minute or two.
Then begin saying ‘Hee, hee, ha, ha, ho, ho!’ and repeat it several times. If you cooperate with the Holy Spirit, this will usually release a flow of holy laughter. If that doesn’t work, try saying, ‘Ho, ha, hee, hee’ or ‘ho, ho, hee, hee, ha, ha! This is not being silly.
It is being spiritual! God takes the “foolish things of the world to confound the wise.” These words are holy words, heavily anointed by the Holy Spirit, and amazingly effective.
To the natural mind, this “method” is so absurd, so ridiculous, but it will usually produce holy laughter in anyone. God’s methods bear fruit.”
Laughter Sunday
Recently there has been a liturgical reclamation of what is known as “Laughter Sunday,” “Holy Humor Sunday” or “Lighten Up Sunday”. It is sometimes observed on the fourth Sunday of Lent, which is called “Laetare Sunday,” which comes from the first word of the traditional collect for the day – Rejoice.
It is also sometimes observed during Eastertide. Early Orthodox churches gathered on the Monday after Easter to tell stories, jokes and anecdotes.
To this day in Slavic regions Christians gather the day after Easter for folk dancing and feasting in the churchyard. This was a time of celebrating the big joke that God pulled on Satan.
It is known as Bright Monday, White Monday, and Emmaus Day in various countries. It is also called it ̃Risus Paschalis” – God’s Joke, the Easter Laugh.Whenever “Laugher Sunday” is celebrated, and by whatever name, it is characterized by joking around, singing, dancing, and merry-making. And it reminds participants that God is a God of laughter as well as of sorrow – much as God is Lord of the valleys as well as the mountain tops (Genesis 21:1-6).
