Laughter Joy of the Lord
28 Jul
Wherever we share the gospel, the Lord would always fill the place with joy.
During our 1st sharing at CKRM Banting Church in Selangor on 26 July 2009, many of the congregation were filled with the joy of the Lord. A local ‘Fung Shui’ master was zapped by the Holy Spirit and wept very loudly. He repented and committed himself to the Lord. Instantly, he was filled with great joy and he danced to the delight of the congregation.
God hates sin but loves sinners. Like the fortune teller girl who was set free from demonic spirit (Acts 16:18), God can use such man for His glory for salvation of souls as people could see the miracle of God in the transformation of the ‘Fung Shui’ master to a man of our Living God.
“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom” (2 Corinthians 3:17). Where there is freedom (liberty) there is joy. Joy when manifest into laughter can and has set many people free from inner hurts and sadness.
God is love. When we have Christ in us, we have the love, joy and peace that Christ is. God is our very joy and the joy of the Lord is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10). The feeling or emotion of joy follows our faith and is the emotional response to the spiritual reality.
The fruit of joy can be expressed in different ways. Sometimes it can be very bright, loud and lively. People may sing, shout and dance.
Psalm 30:11-12, “You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever.”
A preacher’s wife testified how her life was transformed after the Holy Spirit zapped her. She trembled (Daniel 10:10-11) and burst into joy. Following is the link to her testimony:

Like the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23); the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power (1 Corinthians 4:20). This is Jesus’ DNA and as Paul said, “I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done — by the power of signs and miracles, through the power of the Spirit. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ” (Romans 15:18-19).
Our mission is to do what the Lord has anointed us to do; to prepare and equip the people of God to bring not only the gospel of power to their Churches but also the freedom & joy and also to plant new Churches that carry the DNA of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
