This is the God Health and Me Discovery Course, Audio Disc 5.
Okay, so in this session, I want to talk about laughter and your health because the joy of
the Lord is my strength.
What was the frequency that we saw of joy, 540, 550, it's higher than love.
Of course it's going to be your strength.
Remember, we just got done talking about strengthening emotions.
Of course joy is going to strengthen you.
It's such a high frequency emotion.
So of course the joy of the Lord is going to be your strength.
You want to strengthen emotion, walk in joy, begin to understand.
So the science behind that biblical truth, the cheerful heart, do it good like a medicine,
that the joy of the Lord is your strength, behind it there's a science called Gelatology.
Sounds like eat lots of Jell-O, right?
It's exploring the benefits of laughter.
Do you remember Norman Cousins did a lot of work with that in the cancer ward with laughter
and bringing that into the hospitals and so on.
We know scientifically that joy, laughter, humor, do it good like a medicine.
We know why.
Remember what we talked about, the molecules of emotion.
You're going to produce neuropeptides that are going to go communicate with every single
cell that's going to bring healing and life to every single cell.
You're going to be vibrating a level that produces an electromagnetic frequency that
is going to be a high frequency of joy that not only is going to strengthen you, but now
you're radiating it.
What are you going to attract?
You're going to attract more joy into your life.
So you remember when we talked about affirmations and moving from, right, I choose because it
all begins with choose you this day.
So you begin the frequency that you, I choose, and then you allow yourself knowing neuropeptides,
knowing the heart, knowing the electromagnetic frequencies, you say, I feel, and then finally
you move into the highest state of being, I am.
So now we want to walk in joy.
I choose today, joy.
There's a song by Donnie McClurkin I'll play that I just bust up really loud.
I don't know if you've ever had it, but I choose to be dancing.
Have you ever heard that song?
Okay, I'll play it for you.
It's basically saying, no matter what happens, I choose to be dancing, right?
And it's a choice.
I'll play it.
We'll, I'll look it up for you during, before we leave for a break, remind me.
Okay.
So what is that?
What do you think dances?
I'll get out there and boogie and I'll, I'll turn it up and you get the high frequency
music that has the high frequency words.
What am I doing?
I'm bringing that joy in.
So I say, I choose joy today.
I choose joy.
It's interesting that Jesus would say, I give you joy.
I came that you might have joy and have it more abundantly.
Oh, because what's the secret?
Having abundant joy.
If you have abundant joy, is there any room for depression?
Is there any room for fear based living?
Is there any room for dis-ease?
Of course he came that you would have joy more abundantly.
Do you get this?
So laughter, we know the benefits.
It was brought to the public.
Norman Cousins did a great work with the anatomy of an illness, began to see this.
The benefits of laughter.
Laughter stimulates.
You want to laugh every day.
Laughter is amazing for your immune system.
You want to laugh.
So create yourself where you have a joke of the day coming on to your computer or that
you listen, make each other laugh, get around people that laugh, bring laughter into your
life.
It's so good.
When you laugh, it's internal exercise.
So when you laugh, you are stimulating every organ in your body and making it strong.
Bring back the laughter.
By the way, it burns calories, ladies.
Do you know how many calories we burned with our whole Barbie scenario last week?
We were burning all the calories around the Barbie jokes.
So it burns calories.
Here's the release of endorphins, that neuropeptide, those joy, the endorphins, the healing.
It's interesting too, it's this interesting, it takes you through, laughter takes you through
the whole cycle of exercise.
You know how with exercise you've got to fire up your metabolism and then you've got to
cool it down?
Yeah.
With every incidence of laughter you're doing that.
So you are firing it up and then you cool it down and then what you're going to find
it's going to cool down your blood pressure, your heart rate, with results similar to exercise.
How cool is that?
It improves your blood sugar level.
Let's talk about that for a second.
Why would laughter specifically apply to blood sugar?
Go with me, I'm training you to think this way.
Sugar is, sugar is what?
It's sweet.
Oh, so when your life is no longer sweet, you're going to have diabetes.
Interesting.
Do you understand there's a physical corollary for every spiritual counterpart?
Am I getting my point across?
Do you understand why I call this God, health, and me?
Because your whole health statement is going to be based on you, and it's going to be based
on God, and it's going to be based on bringing those three to one, that your God, your health,
and you are brought together.
Do you get why I title it this way?
So you can prosper in all things.
Gosh, that's a huge one.
Now I see the correlation hugely in our community of diabetes.
Yes, ma'am.
And high blood pressure.
Yes, ma'am.
Continuance of everyone in the family, well, it runs in the family, it runs in the family,
and we just keep that cycle going and going and going.
Yes, ma'am.
Diabetes, judging yourself or others severely.
Disappointed in life.
Ongoing feelings of sorrow.
Emotional shock.
Joy of life is gone.
Wow.
Watch this.
Feeling it should have been different.
Oh my goodness.
We're getting some deep revelations today.
Right, I can pre-diagnose with people.
Obsessed with wanting to control.
Ashamed of something you did in the past.
So we've got a bunch of very angry women.
We've got a lot of men that their masculinity is being taken away.
So isn't it interesting that community has the highest rate of prostate?
Yes.
Hello?
What is that having to do with?
I was looking at one of your stories and I looked up prostate cancer because so many,
my father doesn't have cancer but he's got some issues.
It's the highest in your community, the highest rate of prostate.
A lot of the men and I'm like, oh my God.
But when you look at it, a lot of them have been emasculated.
And it comes from a female.
And it's the anger of the father.
The poor choices we made in men.
And it just comes out.
And then you put it on your son.
That's what I'm saying.
You got it.
This boy who turns into a man, an angry man.
It's just, oh, it's horrible.
It happens in our community.
And that's why there's so many relationship problems between black men and black women.
It's huge.
And yet the black woman is the most nurturing and the most loving in all of cultures as far as I'm concerned.
Get the anger out of there and bring back, when I talk about getting back to who you truly are, look historically.
Yeah.
I mean, I know.
I innately have that in me.
And I feel it.
And then I kind of suppress it.
Things have come.
Life, just things that, what you've been told.
It becomes, I've got to protect myself.
I've got to protect my heart.
You guys are getting some deep, deep, deep revelation today.
I'm curious about a child with diabetes that's diagnosed at one year old.
How would this apply?
The children are so susceptible to their mother's emotions and to the emotions in the home.
So they just take it right on.
And you'll see some things with children that it happens in the third trimester in the womb.
You've got an angry mother.
It's got a baby, you've got a critical,
you've got all of those things, a depressed,
you've got all of those things in the womb
and the baby's gonna come out with it.
And so, yeah, that's what's going on there.
They're just, you know, it's so enmeshed.
They don't have their sense of identity to separate out,
which is a little younger version of what you're saying.
But you get, now you get a little boy
that's growing up into manhood
and he's eight, nine, 10, 11, 12,
and you've got a mother taking all the anger
at the man who left, or the husband, or the abuser,
all the stuff that's going on,
and she's repeating it all the time
and he's feeling this anger.
Now he goes out, he's not a man,
she goes out and she's an angry woman,
and you get the hell things
that you're seeing in your culture.
Do you understand this is not,
it's not really rocket scientists,
it's about consciousness, it's about awareness.
It is.
Wow.
It really, really is.
And that's why the truth sets us free.
Because it's just in knowing this,
we can break these cycles.
Yeah.
In understanding this,
we can completely break these cycles.
Do you understand?
And I can do this, you know,
we're playing right now in the black culture,
I can do the same thing with the Asian,
it'll be a whole different, and I'll take you there.
I can take you into the Hispanic,
and I'll take you there, I can do it in the white.
Each culture has its own thing that it's holding,
it's just we happen to pick that as an example,
like I picked eyes as an example.
You know, we could have spent the whole day more on cancer,
we could have spent it on, you know, it's all the same.
The principle I want you to get out of
is that when you see something physical,
there's a spiritual, emotional counterpart.
That's where I'm trying to get you to teach
to go from cause to effect.
And you're all being healed in this process too.
You're being set free.
That's why I knew you're just supposed to be here.
You're being set free from the lies,
from the fear-based thinking that bound you.
You're being set free.
So laughter then is simply,
what do you need to do when you're trying to heal?
You gotta get from these low frequencies that are weakening,
we gotta get ourselves out of these low frequencies
up into these high frequencies.
Well, how do we do it?
Well, whatever tool's working for you, I'm giving you.
I've given you meditation, I've given you oils,
I've given you music, I've given you prayer,
I've given you exercise, I've given you yoga,
I've given you, you know,
there's all these things that we can do.
Now, laughter is another one of these tools.
So, helpful tips.
Start with a, I don't know what that was, was it a joke?
Start with something funny, I guess.
I don't know, I don't know what I had in mind
when I wrote this.
Start with some humor with your day.
Make it part, kind of like,
make it part like your joke of the day.
Have a place that you can just read something,
even if you get a little chuckle.
Just kind of start it, and then guess what?
If you can share it with someone,
if you can tell something funny and pass it on.
You know, I was, we were having class with Dr. Jonathan,
and I noticed he kept on reaching,
and he was eating the nuts in the class.
There was a bowl of nuts.
You remember when you were sitting there,
there was that bowl of nuts
that we'll have right there on the table.
And so he was sitting there eating the nuts,
and then he said, wow, I just realized
I've been eating almost this whole bowl of nuts myself.
And I said, well, that just reminds me.
There was a pastor friend of mine,
and he went in the hospital to visit an older, older woman.
And he was there, and she was just telling all her woes.
And he was so engrossed that he started eating the peanuts
that were in the bowl right there, right beside.
And so he's sitting there eating these,
and all of a sudden he realizes,
mortified that he kind of, he was so engrossed,
he ate the whole bowl of peanuts, right?
And he says, I am so sorry.
I'm actually embarrassed.
I kind of ate all your peanuts.
And she says, oh, honey, that's no problem.
I just sucked the chocolate off of them.
I don't want the peanuts.
She's like, I could have done without that one.
Trying to get your immune system.
I didn't charge extra for that, okay?
It just reminded me.
The calories were burning last night.
So watch a humor, watch a comedy, watch a humorous program.
Read, read something every day.
Read jokes, read comics, read humor, read something funny.
Hang with funny people.
Get with people that,
Make you laugh. Find humor. Find humor in yourself. Find humor in the things that
you do. Learn to laugh at yourself. Learn to see how hysterical we really are and
just just learn to let up. We're too serious. Too many of us have a spiritual
wedgie. You know what I'm saying? You know and we just we do we have this
spiritual wedgie and we just got to learn to just like laugh and lighten up
and stop taking life so serious. Stop taking ourselves so serious and that's
you know I'm talking to myself and just passing it on because I had really lost
my humor and I'm just bringing it back and just getting where I say something
funny and Berlin will look at me and go you cracked up funny. You really did.
Especially since when I first met you. I'm hilarious and I always say something really funny and I crack myself up and she goes
that's just funny. But now she'll actually laugh so I can see that she's coming out and letting us know that she's just saying that's funny.
Well that was a step in the right direction. I acknowledge that it was funny. I mean what more do you want?
When I was going through some things that I felt really victimized by, people would bring over like a movie that they like this and this will just kill you.
And I would just sit there and I'd watch them like practically crying with their pants down.
It's stupid. That's dumb. That's what I would do. That's so ignorant.
It's predictable. I'd be bored. And that was just like where I was coming from.
It was almost like oh dear to try to make me laugh. Or like it's beneath your emotional or your intellectual.
I was told to go to the playground and watch kids play. That's fun. It's so serious. Just go and watch kids play.
Watch kids play. That's good. And mimic what they do.
That's good. Watch kids play. You can force a laughter by the way. You don't even have to have anything funny. Just look at your neighbor and start laughing right now.
I mean just look at them and just start laughing. It's still stimulating all the organs even if it's not real.
Get in the habit of just laughter. The next session. Are you guys on the words?
So what I did is I took, normally when I teach this there's many pages.
I pulled it out of here. I did it to one page here because we're going to cover it in think, feel and speak in a minute.
So we're going to go real fast through words because we're going to hit it this afternoon.
But I'll just touch it just so it's in there and then we may need to pull from that back over to this from the afternoon on the power of words to round it back out again.
I know you love that. You love me. Come on. Say it publicly.
I do. I love you.
Before you begin, another tool with Delta E. Not to do a sales pitch but it's a mood modulator.
So if you tend to be depressed, it pulls you right up. I have people that were in like two, three year depression totally up.
If you tend to be in anxiety, it pulls you down.
So I've decided I'm going to start bringing it to, I had totally separated my companies.
But I'm going to start bringing it so that if you want to purchase, I have some because at what we're talking about there's a whole other tool.
It'll instantly change your state when you drink it. Instantly change your state.
So this next session I want to talk about is the power of words.
You basically have the mind, heart, mouth connection.
If you go in spiritual circles, what's the spiritual principle within Christianity?
If you believe in your heart and you confess in your mouth, you shall be saved.
You see, it's a life principle. It's a universal principle that was just understood in that spiritual context.
It's the way you bring change. I look at the mouth as your sickle.
In other words, you've got the soil of your heart and the thoughts are the seeds that are going in the soil of your heart.
And your mouth is what goes in and harvests it.
When you're manifesting, it's what brings it.
What you're speaking is calling it forth.
Remember it says, your word will not return to me void.
Okay, so God says, my word shall not return to me void.
My word, there's the spiritual truths you're learning.
There's the universal laws.
Apply it in your religious denomination or belief system.
I don't have to put it in any one.
It's true no matter where.
You've got the truth coming down.
If you want it to not be void, it's always there.
It's always falling down.
Proverbs says that wisdom is crying out in the streets.
It's all there for you.
You've got my word coming down, truth coming down, wisdom coming down.
Now you want it not to be void, what has to happen?
It shall not return to me.
Now tell me, how would it get from here to there?
You speak it.
The word comes, it shall not return to me void.
So you begin to make declarations.
You begin to call out your future.
You begin to speak.
How was the world created?
He spoke and then it existed.
Whose image are you made in?
So how do you create?
Why is the power of life and death in the tongue and we eat the fruit thereof?
You don't like the fruit.
Look at what's coming from your tongue.
Are you getting hold of this?
The thought is the seed, the heart is the soil, the emotional context of it is the soil
that gives it life and the words are what is the sickle that harvest it.
So I'm going to talk about that a little bit later, but I'll just apply it to health right
now for this moment.
Be careful what you claim about your health, about your body, about your dis-ease.
If you walk around saying my, you are faithfully owning it, claiming it, making it yours.
My, my, my.
Ever heard someone say my diabetes is acting up?
My arthritis is really getting, boy my allergies are bad today.
My, my, my.
Do you get this?
Do you understand the power of words, what you're doing every time you tell your body
that that's yours?
So my cancer, my allergies.
Consider instead referring to whatever is happening that is the lesson, that's the red
light that's trying to teach you that you need to look at the spiritual counterpart.
Instead consider referring to it as something outside of yourself that you don't take ownership
of.
The cancer, the arthritis.
Just feel that on for size.
Say my diabetes or the diabetes, do you feel the difference in the energy just by saying
it?
Are you getting a hold of this?
I actually have one more separate group, I say the diagnosis that they taught me, I don't
have to say the word.
Yeah, there you go, there you go, there we go.
Look at the stuff, look at the stuff, look at the stuff, look at the stuff that we just
accept.
Okay, last time I checked there's only supposed to be four seasons, winter, spring, fall,
summer?
Yeah.
So where did we get allergy season?
Cold season, flu season, death season, that's a death season I promise you.
We are, where did we add these seasons that we actually have programs to tell us to get
ready because the season is coming.
Get ready for flu season, get ready allergy season is coming.
It even tells you when the season is coming just in case you didn't know.
Program yourselves, it says, oh here we go, we're going into the season.
I better run down and get my dose of formaldehyde laced last year's vaccines that are no longer
active for this year's disease.
I better run down and put that into my DNA, my cellular memory to make sure that has nothing
to do with an immune system that's not able to handle because my immune system is suppressed
which would be able to handle anything that comes at me.
But my immune system is suppressed and depressed because of my predominant emotional state
that's keeping it suppressed and depressed and now injecting some needle into my cells
is going to change that?
Hmm.
Anyway, this all happens.
has to do with the immune system,
and your immune system can handle
anything that's coming to you.
So let me share a little different perspective.
You know, we say something like,
what do we say?
I'm catching a cold.
Think about your language.
Start being sensitive to your language.
I'm catching a cold.
I'll joke.
I'll go, now, why would you do that?
Why do you need to run and catch it?
Like you're chasing it down?
Like what, you want it so bad?
Why do you need to catch it?
Let it go away.
You don't need it.
You ever play that joke when you were a kid
and you'd prank phone call and you'd say,
is your refrigerator running?
And then they'd go, yeah.
And you'd go, well, you better go catch it.
Ha, ha, ha.
You were a little kid, right?
That was before caller ID.
I predated myself.
I was still with little round dialing things
that you could do,
and they wouldn't have a clue who you were, right?
Okay.
So, you know, think of that joke.
You know, is your refrigerator running?
You know, you better go catch it.
Why are you catching a cold?
So, why are you chasing after that exactly?
Why did you invent this season?
You know, in Galatians, Paul begins Galatians.
It's a different topic.
He's talking about falling back into the law,
but he says, oh foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you?
You know, who gave you this thinking pattern
and why are you buying into it?
Who wrote this script for you
and why are you making it your script
that says that this is the season
that you're supposed to have this particular disease
or disorder or symptom?
Who can know your seasons?
You know, God had to deal with me with that
because when I started coming to my level of consciousness
and my level of awareness,
well, I didn't buy into a lot of the manipulation
and all that, and that kind of,
when you change, it ticks the people around you
off a little bit.
So then they had to have a label to put on me
to figure out what to do with me
because they didn't know quite what to do with me.
And so they started labeling and saying that I'm hormonal,
I'm in transition.
And God had just warned me in prayer
and I didn't pick it up.
I just picked it up a couple of months before that
that God had spoken to me intensely
about do not allow word curses to sit on you
and don't receive them, break them
as soon as they come in your direction,
but I didn't listen.
So I kept on hearing this stuff.
And so then you start taking it on
and you start owning it and you're going, oh wow.
And then I had this time alone with God.
It was amazing.
It was August 13th.
And I was just on my face before God
to make a lot of these difficult decisions.
And the music, I was just lost.
I was lost in William McDowell's, I Trust You.
And I just felt the presence of God so strong.
And I just had this purple wave just come over me,
which is the prophetic.
And all of a sudden I started writing
and I couldn't write fast enough what God was saying.
And God started, see God will replace the lies with truth.
And so we replaced the lies with truth.
And he said, I determine when your transitions are.
And with God, the only transitions are from glory to glory.
Oh, by the way, did you buy into the lie about menopause too?
Because there's a whole lot of cultures
that don't have any menopause.
Did you buy into that like the calcium myth too?
Yeah, the menopause, the hot flashes, the menopause.
That'd be interesting to look up, wouldn't it?
Except I think we're out of time.
So what I want you to see right here
is that the words we use, use us.
Ooh, that's powerful.
The words we use, use us.
And I want you to begin, I put a place right there for ahas.
One of the most important things you
can do with what you got out of today,
and I notice you've been doing it,
is you're making those aha notes of what
you can apply for what you're learning today to leave here.
Because your intention was to come to the other,
step to the other side of vibrant health.
And this is going to allow you to do that.
So in this God, Health, and Me discovery course,
we've covered a lot of ground.
And I know this is going to be a course you're
going to want to listen to over and over and over.
I guarantee you, each time you're
going to think you're listening to a whole new course.
Because you're going to be different,
and what you hear is going to take you to the next level.
But if you remember, we laid the biblical foundation for health.
We talked about how God views health.
And health is supposed to be normal.
It's your birthright.
But we also talked about what your role is in that.
And there's so often that we're just not realizing,
we're looking for an answer outside of ourselves.
But it's us that is creating our state of dis-ease.
And so we pulled some science behind that biblical truth.
And we talked about psychoneuroimmunology.
We talked about how.
our predominant thought patterns and our belief systems and our emotional states,
how that is directly linked to your immune system and your endocrine system
and so on. And so understanding that as a man thinketh in his heart so is he and
we covered the science of that right now. We also talked about neuroplasticity. We
talked about how your brain actually can change and that's an amazing thought to
realize and we gave examples that those who are in meditation and prayer they
actually increase the thickness of the brain's gray matter so the structure of
your brain is changing the amount of dendrites is changing and axons and and
all of these things that's changing we now know that the DNA is changing for
that matter so very powerful neuroplasticity and we talked about how
emotions are not neutral they're either love-based or fear-based they're either
strengthening or they're weakening and we spent a lot of time looking at Dr.
Hawkins and helping us understand shame being the lowest and the breakthrough
point being courage and the higher level of course I believe that's why Jesus
said the fruits of the Spirit love joy peace it's it's why Paul said you know
whatsoever is of good rapport and virtue and truth it be praiseworthy fix
your mind on these things and it has to do with understanding that every emotion
has a frequency and the emotions that you're holding are either strengthening
your body or weakening your body and so truly you can't afford the luxury of a
negative thought and so we realized that what's going on within is creating
without we realized that the body doesn't lie and there's different organs
tied in with the different emotions and of course we went through the biblical
examples where you actually see that in David's life and with Eli's life and the
cataracts and and so on your body doesn't lie it is really your way to get
in touch with what's going on in your subconscious and laughter of course
plays a role in your health and we concluded with the power of words and
your health and how profound it is being careful of what you're what you're
claiming in your life and so go back and and and pick one of these areas on a
daily basis just to begin to think about to look at new ways how you can apply it
think about your thinking think about your emotions that you can begin to
create the change and the transformation you know some people say well I can't
change my thinking you know you wouldn't tolerate yourself to have insane
behavior for the most part you just wouldn't allow yourself to go out and
have insane behavior and yet we allow ourselves to have insane thoughts not
knowing it's going to produce that so I encourage you as you've gone through
this in relationship to your health to begin to look at what kind of thinking
belief systems emotions you've been holding on to and allowing to dominate
how that's affecting your health and then finally what words you're speaking
what you're claiming about your health what you're putting out there about your
health about aging about your life so take all those things pick a new one to
look at each day and I pray this course has blessed you and I pray that you
prosper in all things and be in health even as your soul prospers God bless you
we hope you've enjoyed this God health and me discovery course a teaching by
