Laughing By Choice | The Joy-Filled Way to Respond to Every Challenge
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Part 11 of Joy In The Holy Ghost, Matthew Allaria teaches on Laughing By Choice and reveals why expressing joy—especially through laughter—is a powerful force that brings victory in the life of a believer. From Philippians 4:4, Psalms, Proverbs, Acts 16, and the example of David, we learn that joy is not just a feeling but an act of obedience and faith, and that choosing to laugh in adversity positions us to overcome every attack of the enemy. Matthew explains the three types of laughter—involuntary, voluntary, and Holy Ghost laughter—and shows how faith-filled, deliberate laughter (ha ha ha!) strengthens our spirit, answers adversity the right way, keeps our hearts merry, and keeps us connected to the joy of the Lord, which is our strength. Get ready to be stirred, encouraged, and empowered to practice joy on purpose and walk in continual victory through laughing by choice!
