Kenneth Copeland Ministries: Pursuit Of His PresenceSample

Just Laugh at the Devil

by Kenneth Copeland

“The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh.” Psalm 2:2-4

God is pouring out His Spirit like never before. We are in the midst of the greatest harvest of souls, the likes of which we’ve never before seen. But with all that anointing He’s placed in and on us, He’s also given us great responsibility as the end-time Church.

Psalm 2:2-4 helps us to catch hold of what God is telling His people today. And Psalm 37:12-13 says, “The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.”

As this age draws to a close, I’m hearing the Lord say, Hey! Give Me a couple of days here. There are a lot of things I’ve been wanting to do, but My hands have been tied. But now that they’re untied, let’s have some fun. Let’s have a good time—and win billions of souls before we go!

What do you think all this laughing in the spirit is about, anyway?

Well, we just read it in the Psalms. Satan’s time is up, and God is laughing at him! God is having one big time of it. He is laughing at the devil all over the world. He’s laughing at him in churches. He’s laughing at him in meetings. He even has preachers going around preaching and teaching laughing.

The bottom line is, you can go ahead and laugh at the devil too. He’s through! He’s finished!

Hebrews 10:12-13 tells us that Jesus, “after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.”

Notice that Jesus didn’t sit down to do nothing. No, He sat down expecting till His enemies be made His footstool. He sat down, or He entered into God’s rest.

Would you please tell me how in the world will Jesus defeat His enemies sitting down? It’s simple: He has already defeated the enemy. What’s more, He gave you and me authority over the enemy, with the command to go into all the world and preach the gospel and tread on His enemy.

So go ahead, laugh. God is. Jesus is. But do it expecting. Do it expecting, until your financial enemies, until your physical enemies, until your family’s enemies—or whatever enemies—be made your footstool.

Speak the Word
