Laughter as Warfare

Today during my time with the Lord he asked me to laugh at the enemy. I found that very strange initially but soon I was laughing pretty good. Then I found in his word where God laughs at the enemy:

Psalm 2:4

The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.

and again:

Psalm 59:8

But you, O LORD, laugh at them;
you scoff at all those nations.

and yet again:

Psalm 37:13

but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he knows their day is coming.

God uses laughter as a weapon to put the devil in his place. To remind him that he can do all in his power but in the end he will still fail. One thing we have to understand about the devil is that even when he wins he has still lost because the blood of Jesus can make it all right again and because in the end, he has a reserved place in the lake of fire. What a relief for us who are born again. It does not matter how badly you have sinned or been involved with the enemy, Jesus can wash away your sin, guilt and reproach and make you white as snow. Then safe under the wings of the Lord you can point at the enemy and together with God laugh at him knowing his end.

Don't let the devil intimidate you. When he tries to, you go ahead and laugh at him. Laugh hard and long and let him know that your God is mighty to save and he never sleeps nor slumbers. It is well with your soul. Go on now. Have a good laugh at the devils expense!!
