THE TWO TYPES OF LAUGHTER
There are two types of laughter, the laughter of God and the laughter from God.
1. The Laughter of God
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Psalm 2:4
This is the laughter of God. This kind of laugh is when you are in the midst of things not happening yet, but you are still laughing because you know who you believe.
You might cry sometimes because you are human, but you will laugh at the same time, because you know God will work it out.
It is the laughter you have when you are passing through things. You may be crying because of what you are going through, but deep inside you are still laughing because you know that God is going to work it out.
Because He uses the foolish of this world to confirm the wise.
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise.
1 Corinthians 1:27
The laughter of God is a laughter of faith, confidence, and knowing who you believe, even before you see the evidence.
2. The Laughter From God
The laughter from God is the laugh that comes when the evidence has come to pass.
It is the laughter that is as a result of the evidence of what God has made happen.
An example is what God did for Sarah and Abraham, giving them a child, Isaac.
Sarah laughed when God told her she would have a child because, naturally, it seemed impossible.
Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
Genesis 18:12
But when the promise came to pass, her laughter became a testimony.
And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.
Genesis 21:6
This is the laughter from God, the laughter that comes when you see the evidence of what God has done.
What you were believing God for has now happened. What you were praying for has now become a testimony. What you were crying about, God has turned into laughter.
All things worked out for them that believe in God.
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
So there is a laughter of God , when you laugh in the midst of what you are going through because you know God will work it out.
And there is a laughter from God , when the evidence has come, and you laugh because you can see what God has made happen.
The first laughter is by faith.
The second laughter is because of the evidence.
Both laughter come from knowing who you believe.
