00:00welcome back to Marvel and mysteries my name is Tracy Marvel and mysteries is all about spiritual

00:16truths birthing tangible results everything that I like to do in the Lord I just think of it is

00:23intangible transformation tangible results it's an inward transformational thing and then it becomes

00:31an exterior thing as you walk it out so that is the point to Marvel and mysteries and also just

00:38look at the great and small ways in which the Lord transforms us from the inside out to the big

00:45powerful supernatural stuff to the smaller disciplines just spiritual disciplines and

00:51inward functions that we have in the spirit so I'm hoping that you enjoy these episodes I'm

00:58enjoying them so much because I feel like I get to release these things that I have learned through

01:03trial and error and making mistakes because in this walk you will make mistakes you're following the

01:10Lord Jesus and you believe he exists and you haven't necessarily seen him what great faith so let's get

01:18on going again if you want to check out the website that is matrix of justice dot org and that's a

01:25resource center of videos and articles it's all to help you and supplement your walk with the Lord Jesus

01:31Christ there's nothing that can actually take that spot like you need your relationship with the Lord

01:37and I'm just doing some things to help supplement that especially for folks that are in areas that

01:43might be a bit more liturgical and so hearing some of the things about the supernatural might not be

01:50what you are getting at your weekly church and so if that's you welcome I am glad to be of service

01:58to you in any way that I can and wash your feet because I know what it is to be in an area where there isn't

02:06maybe as much going on in the church realm as your hunger would really have for you I have experienced

02:14that in the past now that is not the case but oh my gosh I remember what that was like so you guys have

02:22my ears for everything that's like that so today our episode is called funny matters funny matters

02:32and there's this uh comedian and actor Victor Borga it's been a long time for for a lot of you but

02:39Victor Borga he said laughter is the shortest distance between two people and that is so true and

02:48according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary funny is defined as affording light mirth and laughter

02:56amazing and no mirth isn't what the wise bread what the wise men brought to toddler Jesus that was

03:05mer but speaking of toddlers did you know that they laugh like 300 to 500 times a day and adults only

03:13laugh an average of about 15 times a day so that's a that's a quite the difference so there's both

03:19short-term and long-term effects of having a good laugh and if we as adults are only laughing 15 times

03:28per day we should probably set out to do some belly laughing on purpose so some of the short-term

03:35benefits include activating and relieving our stress responses soothing tension and stimulating many

03:43organs laughter causes a person to breathe in a lot of oxygen rich air so it helps so much the long-term

03:53effects relieve pain help improve your immune system and increase your personal satisfaction so if you

04:00recall dear reader how negative effect negative thoughts can affect our entire being then how much more so

04:09then if we are believing a negative thing about ourselves Steve Backlund who he's a he's an author a

04:18speaker a leadership developer of igniting hope he had co-authored this book with a group of leaders and

04:25pastors called let's just laugh at that in which they discuss how the level of our hope is an indicator of

04:33whether or not we are believing lies so to combat the lies people believe and induce the laughter mr

04:43backland has the individual say the lie out loud and just as an example the lie is if you think you're

04:50never going to be successful then that lie is i will never be successful and so what he would say is

04:58well let's just laugh at that and proceed to have a good belly laugh at that lie so that was kind of the

05:05idea like i insert the lie i will never be successful and then go let's just laugh at that and and part of this

05:12if you think about the word of god it's he who sits on the throne laughs he laughs at the plans of the enemy

05:18so this is part of of this whole idea and laughter helps us with hope and trust and laughter is indeed good

05:27medicine and laughing at a lie bringing havoc into our lives is a great way to combat the negativity

05:35and yes sometimes it feels really really weird to do

05:40it feels like a denial of reality in some cases

05:45however it will halt the thing appearing to be real in our lives from gaining additional ground in

05:50our minds it breaks the power of an untruth in operation it puts things in proper perspective

05:58and it gives our bodies endorphins and serotonin and oh my goodness we need that

06:03yes we are in a spiritual war and we cannot neglect the function of our physical body in the natural realm

06:11here on earth that we interface with you ever notice how we sometimes forget we're three-part beings and

06:16we really need to pay more attention because usually if you go to church only one part of your being

06:21gets paid attention to and then in other hyper spiritual circles it's a different spot or if you're

06:28at the doctor it's only the body like that kind of thing so we need to pay attention and in the blog post

06:34happy healing if you'll find that on matrix of justice.org i was looking at the interesting translations of

06:41proverbs 17 22 as well as some key portions of bible history wherein laughter was key to events that

06:50unfolded matt abrams he's a lecturer in organizational behavior at the graduate school of business at

06:58stanford university said that humor is like a swiss army knife it allows you to connect with your audience

07:06it can diffuse tension elevate status compel others to your point of view and that's not all humor can

07:15help you and your message stand out yet most of us hesitate to use humor especially in our professional

07:23lives in the think fast talk smart podcast abrams discussed humor in the workplace with the co-authors of

07:32humor seriously why humor is a secret weapon in business and life this is jennifer aker and naomi

07:40begdonas probably horribly mispronounced those but jennifer aker said you know i think one of the things

07:48that we found is that there are these myths or misperceptions about humor for example with me

07:55i really had this misperception that humor was not only not serious not important but it would actually

08:03serve to distract and we find that again and again when we ask people what holds them back from using

08:11humor at work many people believe that humor simply has no place amid serious work we're worried about

08:19harming our credibility and not necessarily being taking taken seriously and yet in large-scale studies

08:26that we run and that others have run the large majority of leaders really prefer employees with

08:33a sense of humor and believe that employees with a sense of humor do better work and not just that

08:41but it affects the way people interact with you showing your sense of humor can make our peers and our

08:48friends attribute even more perceptions of confidence confidence and even status even in a market

08:56bonus or business setting humor functions while also cultivating a sense of trust and others to feel

09:03comfortable and remember points made with easier recall the other author shared on how to demonstrate

09:10humor and she said first is simply recognizing that humor comes from truth one of the most common

09:16misconceptions among our clients and our students is that humor involves inventing something from thin air

09:23and when you think about it that way it feels really hard the reality is that it's more often about simply

09:31noticing things that are true for you so how you feel what you uniquely think and what makes you unusually happy

09:39or unusually cranky that sort of oddities or incongruities in your life all of these things can be

09:47incredible fodder for humor it's about giving voice to these observations

09:55if there are lies running like a windows xp operating system in your mind or truths that need to be acknowledged it is

10:03easier to give voices to those observations as she stated to contend with them using laughter

10:12so go all in and make some great personal declarations too if you have not made biblical declarations before

10:20you need to check out this resource that's from steve backland and igniting hope that will help

10:26you and it's called igniting hope declarations and there's a section for kids on the same page too i'll

10:33be sure to link that in the description below so the founder of igniting hope that mr backland said that

10:40lies sound really real in the darkness of our thinking but when we bring them out to the light of language

10:48in words they're laughable you know i could be thinking something now that makes sense and then i say

10:55it out loud with my mouth and i said stupid that does it that's ridiculous i believe laughter's weapon

11:03that the lord has given us a mighty spiritual weapon to let go of bad beliefs because to laugh you have

11:10to let go of something now it says in psalm 2 4 it says he who sits in the heavens laughs we talked about

11:18that earlier and that the context of that is that god is laughing at what his enemies are saying and

11:25his enemies are planning so i got an idea i said if god's laughing at what his enemies are saying

11:33i'm going to do it seeing the devil's my enemy and the father of all lies i am going to laugh at lies

11:40so that's the end quote from for mr backland but first get those lies down on paper or put them in your

11:47phone for example the lies that you hear and other nagging thoughts could be things like i'm never going to

11:54succeed i am probably going to fail my final exams no one will ever understand me no one likes me no one

12:03loves me my children are going to turn out like their uncle brother father whoever we cannot afford

12:09anything if i do this people will think i'm stupid there's something wrong with me when this happens

12:16then i will be happy or something like god will never bless me you can speak those out and laugh at

12:26each one and some of them might not be so funny at first you might actually cry or get angry and that's

12:32a good way to know how deeply rooted that sucker is it is also a good idea to repent for anything that you

12:39believe about yourself that would violate what god says about you but keep at it and laugh at those

12:47lies on purpose what i like to do is then speak out what the truth is with the scripture so if the lie

12:53is i'm too scared to do this by myself this scripture could be deuteronomy 31 8 the lord himself goes

13:02before you and will be with you he will never leave you nor forsake you do not be afraid do not be

13:08discouraged in other words you laugh out the lie and then eat the truth okay so remember

13:18a laugh out loud a day keeps the doctors away so please please please take advantage of those of those

13:26resources at igniting hope they will help you to deal with the lies that have hit you over the course

13:33of your lives the ones that have become belief systems and structures those that have grown into the wrong

13:42kind of tree and are bearing the wrong kind of fruit those lies need to be cut at the root and dealt with

13:49so that they're not continually manifesting in your life so that you're continually not thinking

13:54this is how it goes and this is how it's going to be so father we thank you for the listeners we

14:02thank you that in jesus's name that you are truth you are not the father of the of lies you are truth

14:09jesus said i am the way the truth and the life and so lord we thank you for our sense of humor we thank you

14:16for truth and that we have a choice and we can choose to laugh at the lies the devil tells us

14:23and has programmed us and conditioned us to believe over this over the entirety of our lives so we

14:31thank you lord for smashing through all of those like a hammer for crushing them and that the angels

14:36of the lord will help to tidy those suckers up and push them as far away from us we thank you father for

14:43a renewed mind and that we will do that by talking to you in prayer and of course by the

14:50way that we are directed to by the very word of god so i bless you in jesus's name thanks so much for

14:57listening

15:06you
