The Lord said. “You will laugh harder than you cried. I am bringing restoration to every part of your life.”
My friends, I want to talk to you today about the promise of God for your life. God has not forgotten about you. He has not overlooked you. He has not abandoned you. He is working behind the scenes, orchestrating things in your favor, preparing you for a new level of joy, peace, and abundance.
You may have gone through some tough times. You may have faced some losses, some disappointments, some betrayals. You may have shed some tears, felt some pain, endured some heartache. But I have good news for you today: God is about to turn your mourning into dancing. He is about to turn your sorrow into gladness. He is about to turn your weeping into laughter.
The scripture says in Psalm 126:5-6, “Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy. He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him.” That means that every tear you have shed, every prayer you have prayed, every seed you have sown, has not been wasted. It has been stored up in heaven as a harvest of blessing that is waiting for you.
God is a faithful God. He is a just God. He is a merciful God. He sees what you have been through. He knows what you have endured. He understands what you have sacrificed. And he is saying to you today: “I am going to make it up to you. I am going to restore everything that the enemy has stolen from you. I am going to give you double for your trouble. I am going to make the latter part of your life better than the former.”
You may think that your best days are behind you. You may think that you have missed your opportunity. You may think that you have made too many mistakes. But let me tell you this: God is not finished with you yet. He has something amazing in store for you. He has something that will exceed your expectations, something that will surpass your imagination, something that will make you say: “Wow, God, I didn’t see this coming.”
You need to get ready for a new season of laughter in your life. You need to get ready for a new season of joy in your life. You need to get ready for a new season of restoration in your life. God is going to do something so great, so awesome, so wonderful, that it will make you laugh harder than you ever cried.
The Bible tells us the story of Sarah, the wife of Abraham. God promised them that they would have a son and become the father and mother of many nations. But they were both very old and past the age of having children. Sarah had been barren all her life and had given up hope of ever becoming a mother. She had cried many tears and felt many pains over her situation.
But one day, three men came to visit Abraham and told him that by this time next year, Sarah would have a son. Sarah was listening at the tent door and she laughed to herself. She thought: “How can this be? How can I have a child when I am so old and my husband is so old?” She doubted the word of the Lord and laughed in disbelief.
But God heard her laughter and said to Abraham: “Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son.” And sure enough, God did what he said he would do. He gave Sarah a son in her old age and she named him Isaac, which means laughter. And Sarah said: “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.”
Sarah laughed harder than she cried. She laughed harder than she had ever cried in her life. She laughed because God had done something impossible in her life. She laughed because God had turned her situation around. She laughed because God had fulfilled his promise in her life.
And that’s what God wants to do for you today. He wants to make you laugh harder than you cried. He wants to make you laugh harder than you have ever cried in your life. He wants to make you laugh because he has done something impossible in your life. He wants to make you laugh because he has turned your situation around. He wants to make you laugh because he has fulfilled his promise in your life.
So don’t give up on God today. Don’t lose hope today. Don’t stop believing today. God has not forgotten about you. He has not overlooked you. He has not abandoned you. He is working behind the scenes, orchestrating things in your favor, preparing you for a new level of joy, peace, and abundance.
You will laugh harder than you cried. You will laugh harder than you have ever cried in your life. You will laugh because God has brought you restoration to every part of your life.
I hope this message has inspired you and encouraged you today. I hope it has lifted your spirit and filled your heart with faith. I hope it has reminded you of the goodness and the greatness of our God. And I hope it has made you smile and laugh a little bit today.
Let us pray together for the audience who are listening to this speech. Let us ask God to fill them with his joy and his peace. Let us thank him for his faithfulness and his mercy. Let us declare his promises over their lives. Let us pray:
Prayer for Restoration and Laughter
Heavenly Father, we come to you today in the name of Jesus. We thank you for your love and your grace. We thank you for your word and your spirit. We thank you for your plan and your purpose.
Lord, we lift up the audience who are listening to this speech. We ask you to bless them and keep them. We ask you to make your face shine upon them and be gracious to them. We ask you to turn your face toward them and give them peace.
Lord, we pray that you would fill them with your joy and your laughter. We pray that you would turn their mourning into dancing, their sorrow into gladness, their weeping into laughter. We pray that you would restore everything that the enemy has stolen from them, that you would give them double for their trouble, that you would make the latter part of their lives better than the former.
Lord, we declare your promises over their lives. We declare that nothing is too hard for you, that nothing is impossible for you, that you are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. We declare that you are faithful to complete the good work that you have started in them, that you are working all things together for their good, that you are making a way where there seems to be no way.
Lord, we thank you for hearing our prayer. We thank you for answering our prayer. We thank you for doing a new thing in their lives. We thank you for making them laugh harder than they cried.
In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
