I promise you we'll make you feel right 45 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 4: at home. I like to start with something funny. And 46 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 4: heard about this man. He was walking up to a 47 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 4: country store and there was this little boy sitting on 48 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,399 Speaker 4: the front porch with a huge dog next to him. 49 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 4: He said, son, does your dog bite? The boy said, no, sir, 50 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 4: my dog doesn't bite. The man reached out to pet him. 51 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 4: The dog took about half of his arm off. He said, son, 52 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,239 Speaker 4: I thought you said your dog didn't bite. The little 53 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 4: boy said, that's not my dog. Say it like you 54 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 4: mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it 55 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 4: says I am. I have what it says I have. 56 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 4: I can do what it says I can do. Today 57 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 4: I will be talked the word of God. I boldly 58 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 4: confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I 59 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 4: will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 60 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 4: I want to talk to you today about living joyful, easy, 61 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 4: to let the pressures of life weigh us down. We 62 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 4: have traffic to deal with, bills to pay, people that 63 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,839 Speaker 4: are rude. If we're not careful, we'll look up and 64 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 4: we don't smile as much. We're not as friendly. We 65 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 4: never laugh, never have fun anymore. We have too much pressure, 66 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 4: too much responsibility to enjoy life. But God didn't create 67 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 4: you to live with a heaviness. You're not supposed to 68 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 4: go around solemn, serious, all the time, burdened down by problems. 69 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 4: Taking time to laugh, to have fun. That re energizes you, 70 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 4: It helps keep you in balance. If it's all work, 71 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 4: all stress, all dealing with problems, that's going to weigh 72 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 4: you down. And you can get so busy raising your children, 73 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 4: changing diapers, getting them to school, making sure their homework 74 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 4: is done, that you don't enjoy your children. It's all work, 75 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 4: no time for play. Sometimes we think we have to 76 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 4: be serious to show that we're responsible. But you can 77 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 4: be responsible and good natured at the same time. God 78 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 4: created you with a sense of humor. You were made 79 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 4: to laugh, made to have fun. Have you let the 80 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 4: pressures of life weigh you down? Are you always solemn, 81 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 4: always serious? If you don't make this adjustment, not only 82 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 4: will you not enjoy your life to the full, but 83 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 4: you won't have good relationships. Nobody wants to be around 84 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 4: a grumpy, sour person that pushes people away. And we 85 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 4: represent Christ here on this earth. If you're a believer, 86 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 4: you need to notify your face, put a smile on, 87 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 4: be good natured, be friendly, learn to laugh. The scripture says, 88 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 4: a merry heart is like taking a good medicine. Every day. 89 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,679 Speaker 4: You need to take your medicine. Find something that makes 90 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 4: you laugh, see the humor in life. It's one thing 91 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 4: I love about Victoria. She laughs all through the day. 92 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 4: I can be in another part of the house and 93 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 4: I'll hear her laughing. It echoes through the whole house. 94 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 4: Sometimes I'll go in to find out what it was. 95 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,239 Speaker 4: It wasn't even funny, it was just something small. Most 96 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 4: people would ignored it. Not Victoria. She's looking for opportunities 97 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 4: to laugh. She loves to have fun. She keeps a 98 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 4: joyful atmosphere in our home. A while back, we were 99 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 4: standing on the front road during worshiping. I had my 100 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 4: eyes closed, my hands folded, thinking about what I was 101 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 4: going to say next. Victoria is much more outgoing. She 102 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 4: had both hands in the air, very expressive. All of 103 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 4: a sudden, as I was contemplating in deep thought, Victoria 104 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,119 Speaker 4: threw her hip into mine and about knock me over. 105 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 4: I looked at her. She said, come on, Stiffy, light up. 106 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,559 Speaker 4: She calls me stiff. I tell her the right word 107 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 4: is dignified. A few years ago, I was preparing a 108 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 4: message along these lines, and Victoria came in my office 109 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 4: at home and asked me what I was going to 110 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 4: speak on that week. I said, I'm going to speak 111 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 4: on staying full of joy and seeing the humor in light. 112 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 4: She put both hands in the air and said, woo hoo. 113 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 4: I don't need that, but you sure do. We've been 114 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 4: married going on thirty years now, and people ask me 115 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 4: they're clapping for me, Victoria. People asked me, people ask 116 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 4: me all the time what is the secret of a 117 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 4: good marriage. Always tell them treat each other with respect 118 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 4: and keep laughter in the relationship. The family that laughs 119 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 4: together will stay together. But too often we used to 120 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 4: laugh when we were dating. We used to have fun, 121 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 4: we used to enjoy each other. But now we'd let 122 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 4: the pressures of life cause us to become more solemn. 123 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 4: We don't have time to laugh. We have bills to pay, 124 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 4: we have children to raise, We're dealing with problems. We 125 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 4: don't see how to own every situation. But the joy 126 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 4: is what's going to help you get through the tough times. 127 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 4: Laughing together, having fun, that's going to help keep you together. 128 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 4: I know a couple that was having difficulties in their marriage. 129 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 4: They're good people. They just let the pressures that come 130 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 4: with everyday life drive them apart. They were about to separate, 131 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 4: but they decided to try something. For a few months, 132 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 4: once a week they rented a funny movie and watched 133 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 4: it together. They would sit there and laugh and laugh, 134 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 4: and they told how that one simple thing helped change 135 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 4: their perspective. It helped heal the wounds. They fell back 136 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 4: in love. Today they're happily married. Maybe you would see 137 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 4: your relationship go to a new level if you would 138 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 4: get more joy in the home. Living with pressure, stress, tension, division, 139 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 4: that's going to drive you apart. If you'll take time 140 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 4: to laugh again, have fun together, enjoy each other, that's 141 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 4: going to breathe new life, freshness into your relationship. How 142 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 4: long has it been since there was laughter in your home. 143 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 4: The enemy can't stand to hear you laugh. He can't 144 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 4: stand to hear you having fun, laughing with your children, 145 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 4: laughing with your spouse, enjoying each other. He wants there 146 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 4: to be tension, pressure, strife. Why don't you get on 147 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:49,359 Speaker 4: the offensive and start laughing more often? Laughter is spiritual warfare. 148 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 4: Laughter brings down walls. Laughter will help your families stay together. 149 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 4: And yes, we all have to deal with tension and stress, 150 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 4: but you need to create a joyful atmosphere in your home. 151 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 4: Don't bring in pressures from work, stress from school, offense 152 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 4: from what somebody said. Your home needs to be a 153 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 4: retreat from the negative things you have to deal with 154 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 4: during the day. I heard about this man. He had 155 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 4: a tree in a pot next to his back door 156 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 4: at home. He was walking into the house with a friend. 157 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 4: He stopped and he touched the tree. His friend asking 158 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 4: what he was doing, he said, this is my trouble tree. 159 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 4: I leave all my troubles on this plant. I don't 160 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 4: take any worry inside. I don't take any problems, any disappointments, 161 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 4: any offense. I leave it at the door. We all 162 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 4: need a trouble tree. Your home should be a cheerful place. 163 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 4: If you're bringing in stress, pressure, strife that's going to 164 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 4: weigh you down, leave the negative outside. Keep a joyful 165 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 4: atmosphere in your home. There was a hospital that did 166 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 4: an experiment with patients that had been sick for a 167 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 4: long time and they weren't getting well. They started taking 168 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 4: them out to the park several hours a day to 169 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 4: watch the children playing. They discovered when they heard the 170 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 4: children laughing over and over, the sound of laughter stimulated 171 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 4: the body's natural healing process. It not only affected the 172 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 4: patient's outlook, but research showed they begin to recover faster. 173 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 4: Just hearing other people laugh help bring healing. Imagine what 174 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 4: happens on the inside of us when we live joyfully, 175 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 4: we take time to laugh every day. It not only 176 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 4: affects us mentally, our attitude, our moods, it affects us physically. 177 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 4: Laughter will help you stay younger. Every time you laugh, 178 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 4: what's known as the youth hormone increases eighty seven percent. 179 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 4: That's the hormone that slows down the aging process, helps 180 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 4: you stay younger and fresher. You've seen people that have 181 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 4: been through a difficult time in life, they were under 182 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 4: stress and pressure. You see them two years later, it 183 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 4: looks like they've aged twenty years. Why is that when 184 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 4: we don't laugh, we're not releasing the healing that God 185 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 4: put on the inside. When we live stressed, somber, discouraged, 186 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 4: those chemicals God designed to keep us younger are sitting 187 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 4: there inactive, ineffective. Well, Joel, that's just not my personality. 188 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 4: I'm a more solemn, serious person. I realized God made 189 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 4: us all different. My earliest baby pictures, I'm smiling from 190 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 4: ear to ear. We have different demeanors, but most of 191 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 4: the time, what's happened is we've forgotten how to laugh. 192 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 4: The average child laughs one hundred and fifty times a day. 193 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 4: The average adult last three times a day. Some people 194 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 4: haven't laughed in so long their laugher has gotten rusty. 195 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,199 Speaker 4: You need to get that thing out, dust it off 196 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 4: every day, find some reason to live. Start taking your medicine. 197 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 4: I read we're a common ingredient in people that live 198 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 4: way up into their nineties. Wasn't their diet, wasn't their 199 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 4: exercise routine. It was the fact that they are extremely 200 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 4: joyful people. They never forgot how to laugh. They don't 201 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 4: take everything so seriously. I met a man after the 202 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 4: service a few years ago that was one hundred and 203 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 4: six years old. He looked forty years younger. He was 204 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 4: so happy, his mind was sharp. He stood in line 205 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 4: forty minutes waiting to visit. I said, we could have 206 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 4: gotten your chair. You could have sat down. He said, 207 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 4: I don't need to sit down when I get old. 208 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 4: I'll sit down. He was a black man, as handsome 209 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 4: as can be. He didn't have one wrinkle on his face. 210 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 4: I said, I can't believe that you're one hundred and six. 211 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 4: You look like you could be seventy. He put his 212 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 4: arm on my shoulder and said, Joel Black, don't crack. 213 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 4: We laughed and laughed. When he went to walk away, 214 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 4: he turned around and said to the whole group, I'll 215 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 4: see you next year. I thought about no wonder. He's 216 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 4: so healthy, he's full of joy, he still has his 217 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 4: sense of humor, he loves to laugh. Think about all 218 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 4: those years healing was flowing on the inside. Now I 219 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 4: realize we're all going to get on. Eventually, we're all 220 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 4: going to die. But I've made up my mind. I'm 221 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 4: not going to turn into a grumpy old man. I'm 222 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 4: not going to get more and more sour the older 223 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 4: I get, the more responsibility I have, I'm going to 224 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 4: stay full of joy. When it's my time to go, 225 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,719 Speaker 4: I'm gonna go like him, happy, friendly, good nature. When 226 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 4: I'm in my nineties, I'm still going to have a smile, 227 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 4: still be telling my jokes, still have My hair may 228 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 4: not be real, but I'm gonna have some. But sometimes 229 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 4: we think the older we get, the more solemn we're 230 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 4: supposed to be, the less fun we're supposed to have. 231 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 4: That's not God's way. The scripture says we are to 232 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 4: finish our course with joy. If you don't have joy, 233 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 4: if you don't take time to laugh regularly, if you're 234 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 4: not good natured, you're not going to finish your course 235 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 4: the way God wants you to. And I've learned old 236 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 4: is all in our mind. Just because our physical body 237 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 4: ages doesn't mean our attitude and our thoughts have to 238 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 4: get old. I knew a man at the gym that 239 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 4: was eighty three. He was as happy and fun to 240 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 4: be around as can be. He acted like he was 241 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 4: my age. I ask him how he stayed so young. 242 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 4: He said, Joel, I don't think old thoughts. I don't 243 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 4: think of myself as an old man. I think of 244 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 4: myself as in my twenties. See your spirit person, the 245 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 4: real you that lives on the inside is ageless. It's 246 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 4: going to live forever. Sometimes we talk ourselves into being 247 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 4: old and sour and solemn. When my father was seventy five, 248 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 4: we'd be walking by a group of people and he 249 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 4: would see somebody, maybe in their sixties. Without thinking, he'd say, Joe, 250 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 4: look at that old man. I would think, Daddy, he's 251 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 4: twenty years younger than you. But in my father's mind, 252 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 4: he was still young. My father was a respected pastor. 253 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 4: He was serious about his relationship with God. He was 254 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 4: a responsible person. But he's still loved to have fun. 255 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 4: One time we were in Mexico. I was a little boy. 256 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 4: These American tourists came up to my father. They were 257 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 4: looking for the post office. They couldn't find anybody that 258 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 4: spoke English. They said to my father post office mail 259 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 4: a letter. My father looked at them kind of confused 260 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 4: and said, no, comprende espigol. They said it even more dramatic, 261 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 4: post office mail a letter. Daddy said, oh, post officast. 262 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 4: They got real excited. Yes, yes, post Offeast. Daddy said, 263 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 4: you're looking for the post office. It's right around the corner. 264 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 4: That man looked at my father and said, boy ought 265 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 4: to whoop. You don't ever lose the child on the inside. 266 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 4: Look for opportunities to laugh. You may have to retrain 267 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 4: yourself to have fun, retrain yourself to see the humor. 268 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 4: Sometimes if we're not working, we feel guilty. We're stressed 269 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 4: out thinking about what we should be doing. But all 270 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 4: work and no play is out of balance. Give yourself 271 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 4: permission to enjoy your life. Start taking your medicine, not 272 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 4: once month, not once a week, but every day. And 273 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 4: you may have a serious position like my father, but 274 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 4: you can still have a light hearted spirit. During a 275 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 4: Sunday service, I was about to come up to minister 276 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 4: and Victoria told me that my hair was sticking up. 277 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 4: Now I needed to go in the back and spray it. 278 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 4: I asked where the hairspray was and she said it's 279 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 4: in the bathroom on the counter in a big red can. 280 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 4: I went in and found the can sprayed my hair, 281 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 4: but it wouldn't keep it down. So I sprayed and 282 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 4: sprayed and sprayed. Still wouldn't keep it down. After the service, 283 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,959 Speaker 4: Victoria said, Joel, why didn't you spray your hair? It 284 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 4: was still sticking up. I said I did, but your 285 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 4: hair spray doesn't work. She said, show me what you 286 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 4: use and I brought it to her. She said, Joel, 287 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:51,719 Speaker 4: this is not hairspray, this is air freshener. I smiled 288 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 4: and said, at least I have the best smelling hair around. 289 00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 4: When you're secure, you can even laugh at yourself. Getting 290 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 4: upset wasn't going to make it any better if you 291 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 4: can't change it. There's no reason to lose your joy. 292 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 4: These days, people are very uptight on edge. There's so 293 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 4: much divisiveness in our society. If we're not careful, we'll 294 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 4: think this is no time to enjoy life, no time 295 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 4: to laugh, no time to see the humor. But just 296 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 4: the opposite is true, more than ever, this is the 297 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 4: time to live joyfully. Be a part of the solution. 298 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 4: Bring some cheer to the people around you. Put a 299 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 4: smile on your face. There's too much sadness in our world. 300 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 4: Every person deals with hurt, disappointments. We all have stress 301 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 4: and tension. Don't let that deceive you into living with 302 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 4: a heaviness discourage solemn Well, Joel, I have a good excuse. 303 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 4: I've had a lot of bad breaks. Jesus said in life, 304 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 4: you will have difficulties. We acknowledge that we're going to 305 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 4: have challenges. Everything's not going to be perfect. He went 306 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 4: on to say, I have the solution. Be of good cheer. 307 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 4: He didn't say be discouraged, be sad, be offended. In 308 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 4: the tough times, you need your joy. Joy is what 309 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 4: gives you strength. But if the enemy can deceive you 310 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 4: into living with a heaviness, discouraged, solemn, he'll be able 311 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 4: to defeat you at every turn. Don't fall into that trap. 312 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 4: Your circumstances may not change, but you can change. Quit 313 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 4: letting everything burden you down. Make a decision right in 314 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 4: the midst of the difficulty. You're going to be of 315 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 4: good cheer. Studies show that living joyfully boost our immune system. 316 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 4: It lowers our blood pressure. People that laugh regularly are 317 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 4: forty percent less likely to have a heart attack. Laughter 318 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 4: releases the body's natural tranquilizers that cause us to calm 319 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 4: down and sleep better. The United States represents six percent 320 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 4: of the world's population, but we take ninety percent of 321 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 4: the world's tranquilizers. We're too uptight. You're not supposed to 322 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 4: live stressed out, always thinking about your problems. Your mind 323 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 4: needs a break. Sometimes we give our body a vacation, 324 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 4: but our mind never gets a day off. You can 325 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 4: go to the beach, watch the sunset and still be 326 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 4: worried about your health, stressed out of your finances, thinking 327 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 4: about what you should be doing. You need to give 328 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 4: your mind a break. The scripture says, in God's presence 329 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 4: is fullness of joy. If you don't have joy, you've 330 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 4: disconnected yourself from God's presence. If you go through the 331 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 4: day worried, stressed, sombered, you are separating yourself from the blessing, 332 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 4: the favor, the strength that you need. And I realize 333 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 4: every day we're not going to be jumping up and 334 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 4: down laughing all the time. We have real issues to 335 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 4: deal with, loved ones that have illnesses, situations in our health, 336 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 4: in our marriage. What I'm saying is, don't let those 337 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 4: problems weigh you down to where you live with the heaviness. 338 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 4: You can't have fun, you can't laugh. You're dealing with 339 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 4: serious issues. You have to have times where you can 340 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 4: still be lighthearted. That's what helps you to get through 341 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 4: those times. I've been to several funerals. It can be 342 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 4: very sad, very heavy, but I've noticed when someone gets 343 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 4: up and starts telling funny stories about the person, the 344 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 4: audience goes from crying to laughing. You can feel the 345 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 4: atmosphere change. It's like healing is taking place. The whole 346 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 4: room is being lifted. God didn't create you to live 347 00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 4: with the heaviness. To go around overwhelmed. To get some 348 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 4: joy in your life, some fun, some laughter. That's what 349 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 4: helped balance out the difficulties that we have to face. 350 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 4: I read about a lady that hadn't slept well in years. 351 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 4: She was constantly taken tranquilizers. She'd been on them so 352 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 4: long they hardly had any effect on her. She'd tried everything, 353 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 4: different diets, different medications, different doctors. Nothing helped. She went 354 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 4: to a new doctor. He gave her an unusual prescription. 355 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 4: He told her every night before she went to bed, 356 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 4: she was to watch something funny, funny movie, funny comedy, 357 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 4: something to make her laugh. She started doing this night 358 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 4: after night. She began sleeping better and better. Today she's 359 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 4: off of all that medicine. She can sleep like a baby. 360 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 4: What was the problem she was having to take men 361 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 4: made tranquilizers because she wasn't releasing the natural tranquilizers that 362 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 4: God put in us. Could it be that you would 363 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 4: receive the healing you've been longing for. The headaches, the 364 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 4: chronic pain, the depression, the insomnia would go away if 365 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 4: you would just lighten up and learn to laugh more. Often, 366 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 4: much of the sicknesses we face today are stress related. 367 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 4: We're too uptight. If a doctor gave us a prescription 368 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 4: to take a pill several times a day, we would 369 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 4: be very strict to follow his instructions, even if we 370 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 4: had to get up in the middle of the night. 371 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,360 Speaker 4: I have a prescription for you, not from a doctor, 372 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 4: but from your creator, he says, Stay cheerful, laugh every day, 373 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 4: be good nature, see the humor in life. If you 374 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 4: will stay on your prescription, have a merry heart, you'll 375 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,479 Speaker 4: sleep better, you'll be more creative. These areas of chronic 376 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 4: pain and sicknesses will begin to go away. To mine 377 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 4: as a doctor, and this lady came into his practice 378 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 4: that had a severe case of fibromy algia. It's very painful. 379 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 4: She would spend hours a day in bed suffering. She 380 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 4: had chronic fatigue, no energy. She was in poor health, 381 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 4: not only physically but emotionally. She'd gone through tough times 382 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 4: and lived a very depressed life. And he gave her 383 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 4: medicine for the pain, but he knew that was only 384 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 4: treating the symptom and not the root cause. After talking 385 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,360 Speaker 4: to her and realizing how depressed she was, he asked her, 386 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 4: how long has it been since you had a good 387 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 4: hearty laugh. She thought about it a moment and said, doctor, 388 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 4: I haven't had a good laugh in over thirty years, 389 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 4: since I was a little girl. He said, your prescription 390 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 4: is to go rent every funny movie you can find, 391 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 4: read every funny book, and laugh as much as you can. 392 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 4: She began to do that, lying in bed. Instead of 393 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 4: feeling sorry for herself, she started laughing. Little by little, 394 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 4: she got her joy back. Every day she would laugh 395 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 4: more and more. She noticed the pain started subsiding. She 396 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 4: had more energy. She felt better. Several months later, she 397 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,439 Speaker 4: went back to the doctor. The moment she walked in 398 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 4: the door, he said he knew something was different. There 399 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 4: was a sparkle in her eye. She had a smile 400 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 4: on her face. She said, doctor, I've never felt this 401 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 4: good in all of my life. Month after month, as 402 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 4: she relearned how to laugh, she got healthier and healthier. Today, 403 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 4: she's free from all those illnesses. There is healing power 404 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 4: in laughter. When you have a joyful spirit, health wholeness 405 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 4: is constantly flowing through you. Let me ask you what 406 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 4: he asked her, how long has it been since you 407 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 4: had a good laugh? A day, a week, a month, 408 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 4: ten years? In the Old Testament, One way an army 409 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,640 Speaker 4: would overtake a city is they would clog up the 410 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 4: wells that provided water to that city. They would fill 411 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 4: it full of stones. Before long people didn't have anything 412 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 4: to drink, and they would have to come out from 413 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 4: beyond the protected walls, and the army would attack. In 414 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,959 Speaker 4: the same way. All of us have a well of 415 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 4: joy on the inside. When we were children, it flowed freely. 416 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 4: We laughed, we had fun, we were good natured. But 417 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 4: too often our well has gotten clogged up with stones 418 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,479 Speaker 4: of worries, stones of stress, stones of pressure. Now the 419 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 4: water doesn't flow like God created it too. Genesis twenty 420 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 4: six says Isaac reduged the wells that the Philistines had 421 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:57,120 Speaker 4: clogged up. I think it's interesting Isaac's name means laughter. 422 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 4: It's significant that Isaac was the one that redug the well. 423 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 4: God is saying, if you want to get your well unclogged, 424 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 4: if you want to see his goodness flow in new ways, 425 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 4: you have to get your joy back. Laughter is one 426 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 4: of the best ways to unclog your will. I'm asking 427 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 4: you to develop a lifestyle where you see the humor 428 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 4: in everyday life. Laughing with your children, laughing with your 429 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 4: family being good natured. The scripture says in job, God 430 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 4: will fill your mouth with laughter. That's God's dream that 431 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 4: your life would be full of laughter. Are you living stressed, somber, worried? 432 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 4: Make a change today. Get your well unclogged. Take time 433 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 4: every day to laugh, keep a joyful atmosphere in your home. 434 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 4: If you will make this decision to have a merry heart, 435 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 4: I believe and declare you're going to see chronic pain 436 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 4: and illnesses go away. You're going to have a relationships. 437 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 4: You're going to feel younger, stronger, fresher, and you will 438 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 4: finish your course with joy. In Jesus' name if you 439 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 4: receive it, can you say him in today? I'd like 440 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 4: to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord 441 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 4: of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, 442 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 4: I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I 443 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 4: make you my Lord and savior. If you prayed that 444 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 4: simple prayer, we believe you got born again. Get in 445 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 4: a good Bible based church, and keep God first place. 446 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 5: Thank you for listening to the Joelus Deine podcast.
