About this ebook

When God Reveals His Plans, Laugh with All Your Heart!

Recently, a strong and insidious spirit of hopelessness has descended like a dark mist over many good and godly people in America and other nations. Seeing what has been transpiring in every aspect of society and the world, and hearing reports of more evil occurrences on the immediate horizon, many have lost hope that their nation and people can be rescued and restored to the moral and spiritual culture of yesteryear. The rate of the erosion of our society has been accelerated and one can see it happening in every mountain of society.

In this book you will learn about the demonic power that possessed Sennacherib and how it is influencing our society and political powers today. The clear and sinister purpose of the Sennacherib spirit is to control all people and nations for personal glory, power and profit.

Yet, there is still hope—God is not finished with the world! He has a great plan and a great event for us to participate in. What God does in heaven, we play out on earth. When He laughs at the enemy, we laugh with Him.

Ben Peters believes God is laughing now, and that is our mandate to laugh with Him. In A Mandate to Laugh, you will not only learn why there a strong reason for hope, it might even leave you laughing hysterically at the enemy.

    A Mandate to Laugh - Ben R Peters

    Preface

    WHEN GOD FIRST released the revelation of the Sennacherib spirit to me, I thought it would make a great printed message to share with people in our ministry travels. I had no plans to write a book on the subject.

    However, a prophetic friend from Canada, had a vision of me and it had to do with books. After we discussed the vision, it became clear that God wanted this message to be in a book, indicating that it would be an arrow to be fired at a predator coming to steal, kill and destroy.

    With that inspiration, I withdrew as much as possible in the next three weeks to work on this manuscript. It came together with unusual ease and clarity. I felt an urgency to get it done because of the timing of various events that it relates to. I believe I have done what God has asked me to do. May His will and purpose be accomplished through it and may I remain His humble servant forever.

    Chapter One

    Let There Be Hope!

    IN RECENT MONTHS, a strong and insidious spirit of hopelessness has descended like a dark mist over many good and godly people in America and other nations. Seeing what has been transpiring in every aspect of society and the world, and hearing reports of more evil occurrences on the immediate horizon, many have lost hope that their nation and people can be rescued and restored to the moral and spiritual culture of yesteryear. The rate of the erosion of our society has been accelerated and one can see it happening in every mountain of society.

    Impact on Seven Mountains of Society

    1. Family

    The traditional family and the definition of marriage itself have taken many hits of late.

    2. Religion

    In the world of religion, the historic Christian denominations that began with such high standards of morality and holiness have morphed into something totally different and what positive influence they might still have is continuing to wane.

    3. Education

    Our education system has become more and more hostile to historic norms of thought and respect for Christian beliefs.

    4. Government

    On the mountain of government, the levels of corruption, now considered normal, are beyond shocking, and intrusion into the lives of citizens has crossed over into uncharted territory.

    5. Media and Communication

    The media, for the most part, support radical anti-Christian agendas.

    6. Arts and Entertainment

    The arts and entertainment industries reinforce an atheistic mindset and the acceleration of moral decay.

    7. Business and Finance

    Finally, the financial kings of the world, using money as always to manipulate government and other elements of society, seek to bring the nations of the world under their radical control.

    The overpowering support for the spirit of hopelessness continues to assault the minds of men, women and children, fostering depression and even suicide in some. Millions of Christians, who frequently listen to prophetic teachers and preachers, see hope only in an escape rapture, for surely biblical prophecy is being fulfilled in which the anti-Christ is taking over the world to rule with an iron fist. There is little hope in their hearts for revival or restoration of the ancient paths. The direction that our society and our governments are going is clearly away from God. Every day the news reinforces that conclusion.

    Let There Be Hope

    Let the information you are about to read give you the courage to hope again. You may be one of those who believe your only hope is to get out of this mess before it gets really, really bad. However, I want to speak another kind of hope to your spirit and heart. GOD IS NOT FINISHED WITH US YET!!! He has a great plan and a great event for us to participate in. He has some surprises and suddenlies to shock the world.

    The Harvest

    The great event on His calendar is THE HARVEST. Jesus referred often to the harvest at the end of the age. It is His harvest and He will have a big one. It will fill His granaries and bring great joy to all His Kingdom and the privileged harvesters.

    Because this event has been prophesied both in Scripture and by many current prophetic voices, I can say with confidence that we have every reason to hope, not only for a restoration of that which our culture has lost, but also for a greater blessing on our society than we have ever previously experienced. I believe we will see the hand of God touching hundreds of millions of souls all over the earth, including the western world. Signs, wonders and miracles will abound and bring in a huge harvest.

    To accomplish this, many events will converge, as I have delineated in a previous book, The Ultimate Convergence. These events will include a Third Great Awakening in America, and an incredible transfer of wealth from corrupt king makers to the Kingdom of God. This will provide the human and material resources to bring in the harvest around the world.

    What About All the Judgment Prophecies in Scripture?

    Every prophetic Scripture will be fulfilled, but not always the way we read them through our theological lenses. Both Daniel and Revelation remind us that the world will indeed be judged, but before long, The saints of the Most High will possess the Kingdom.

    When does the wheat get separated from the chaff? It has to be after the harvest. I believe that the harvest will bring in so many people so quickly that it will be very easy to convert to Christianity. However, God will test the hearts of men and allow persecution and tribulation after the harvest. Those who joined the movement because it was the in thing to do will not stand in the times of tribulation which follows the harvest. They will be like the stony soil that Jesus talked about. They couldn’t handle the persecution. Therefore, leaders in the coming revival/harvest should prepare their converts to commit their lives fully to the King and be prepared to live and die for Him.

    There will always be tribulation and persecution in the world, but we as Christians have an unfair advantage over the enemy and when God sends a powerful wave of His Spirit on the earth, we will overwhelm the enemy with God’s miracle power, just as the apostolic church did in the early chapters of the Book of Acts. He had no power to stop its explosive growth then, and he will have no power to stop it in this coming season of harvest.

    In the past few months, we have been hearing messages with prophetic testimonies that this was a time of restoring hope. Miracles of accelerated timing and suddenly events will continue to cause hope to arise in our hearts. We must listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit and not the voice of doom and gloom from either the news media or hopeless preachers in the pulpits of our churches.

    In the pages to follow, you will come to understand why we should not only have a strong hope, but that we should actually find ourselves laughing hysterically at the enemy. God has given us the power that the enemy wanted for himself. We are joint heirs with Jesus and He gave us the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory (Luke 12:32, Acts 1:8, John 17:22), which we gladly give back to Him.

    We will see how Sennacherib , the king of Assyria, bit off more than he could chew when he took on Hezekiah and the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. We will see
