What difficult circumstances are you faced with today?! You may be wondering how God will make a way for you. Most people have some kind of impossibility they are faced with in their life. I want to encourage you, don’t allow that impossibility to fill your heart with fear. Don’t allow it to paralyze you. Today as your consider all you are faced with, I am believing God will visit you in a special way. That a fire and a joy will begin to rise up within you and fill you with fresh courage and faith to believe God and not the circumstances!
We can be so overwhelmed by our circumstances we get down, but that’s not always the way God sees things. Psalm 2:1-4a tells us: “Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying, “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us. He who sits in the heavens laughs.”
When all of hell breaks forth against you, God sits in the heavens on His throne and laughs! God is not intimidated by impossibility! In fact God laughs at it because He knows there is nothing He cannot do! What makes God laugh is the thought that anyone or any situation is too great for Him to handle! There are times when our circumstances make it seem like the whole world has conspired to defeat us. We look and think ‘ if God gets me out of this situation, it’s going to have to be a miracle.’
God is sitting on His throne laughing at your circumstances. He’s saying “is anything to hard for the Lord?!!” (Gen. 18:14) And God is looking for you to connect with His faith and confidence. He’s wanting to get you to the place where you laugh right along with him. You say ‘brother, if you were facing what I’m facing you wouldn’t laugh you’d be crying right now.” And maybe that’s true, only God knows how impossible things look for you, I don’t want to trivialize your struggle.
But today I want to remind you with God all things are possible, all He needs you to do is believe. Your faith connects you to God. As you continue to believe in spite of what you see, pretty soon I’m believing God will turn your sorrow into joy (Jeremiah 31:13), you’ll laugh in the face of your enemies, and God will prepare a table before you in their presence. (Psalm 23:5)
Many times in our services as the presence and glory of God intensifies we see tremendous things happen. As people encounter God’s raw power, some shake, some weep, some fall on their face, some repent, some receive a miracle and some begin to laugh. Now you might think laughing is irreverent. But this is a different kind of laugh. This is the laughter of faith. If it’s good enough for God to laugh in Psalm 2:4a, my feeling is there are times when by faith we will be connected with God’s laugh and begin to laugh ourselves.
Sometimes I wonder if the laughter is God’s connecting that person with His perspective. They are all worried about how or what is going to happen to get them through the difficulty of their circumstances and God is simply laughing at those circumstances. As that person laughs they are joining with God in life and faith. When you experience that kind of joy, it will fill you with such faith and strength, it can be overwhelming. Many times people see incredible breakthroughs as they begin to laugh at impossibility.
And today I am believing for that same anointing to fall on your life. If you’re feeling discouraged or down, I am believing that God will be the lifter of your head (Psalm 3:3). I am believing that He will lift you to a place where you can see things from his perspective. I want to encourage you ‘don’t look down but look up. “Stand up and lift up your head, because your redemption is drawing near.” (Luke 21:28)It is my prayer today that your faith will be lifted supernaturally to another level entirely. That you will be filled with so much joy and faith you will laugh at the impossible.
