The Secret To Happiness Revealed (With Greg Laurie)

Although the Declaration of Independence refers to “the pursuit of Happiness” as one of our “unalienable Rights,” pursuing happiness in and of itself is generally a futile search. As philosopher Eric Hoffer said, “The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.”
Many people today who are searching for happiness never will quite have it. There are people with a lot of accomplishments, a lot of fame and a lot of money who live miserable, empty lives. They’re searching for something but in the wrong way.
Happiness is a byproduct of holiness. When you get your life in order, happiness soon will follow.
That is why unbelievers can never know true happiness. They will go after the world’s cheap counterfeits, which are shallow. The world’s concept of happiness depends on good things happening.
The Bible tells us how to find and maintain holiness, and as a result, happiness, in our lives. And in Psalm 119 we have God’s original design.
First we’re told that if we want to be holy, then we are to walk in an undefiled way: “Joyful are people of integrity, who follow the instructions of the Lord. Joyful are those who obey his laws and search for him with all their hearts. They do not compromise with evil, and they walk only in his paths” (verses 1–3 NLT).

Even Paul says happiness is being content in whatever situation your in. God only can give us peace and happiness. He made us that way.

Pastor Greg, the Lord has used you in my life so abundantly. I have grown in the Lord while listening to your messages and pondered on things that I never had thought of before. Thank you for allowing Jesus to use you.

I have shown my faith to many people. My doctors and nurses first. My accident, which gave me a TBI. My doctors' did not believe I would survive. I had 18% chance to live is . I was in a coma. I know it is God who saved me. Everyday I would pray for the Lord to help me get better! Coming out Of the coma, before God woke me up, I heard a voice , I don't know if it was Jesus or an Angel? These are the words spoken," It is not your time. There is still work for you to do.'

Ways I have shared my faith? Last year when covid hit the United States I prayed first. Then I started asking others if they were scared of the pandemic. Which led to testifying about not being because I trust Jesus. Other than that as I go through the day I pray for opportunities and ask God that he would be evident in my life so others would want to know why I believe.

Thank you so much Pastor Greg for your spiritually supporting messages

Greg, in the beginning of the second message, you ask, 'what gets you up in the morning?' Knowing how you feel about cats, would you believe me when I tell you, my cat gets me up every morning between 5 and 5:30?! I wake up full of joy, knowing I get to spend time with God (after feeding the cat) ! She is so much more gentle than an alarm clock.
