Once a person has experienced this touch of God, they tend to experience it again and again, usually during a prayer gathering but also privately. The laughter can happen any time or any place, although the person can exercise some control over the gift. The greatest and deepest experiences occurs in the Revival group where praise and prophecies prepare the person for this manifestation. As the group continues to yield to the Revival manifestations, more of the members come into the gift of laughter. No reason exists why this gift cannot be for everyone just as the charismatic experiences of Baptism of the Spirit and praying in tongues were for all.
Some people experience holy laughter at their first meeting.
For others, it comes later. However, if the person stays around the Revival group long enough, they will probably experience the gift. Our experiences have shown that laughter has many purposes. This joy opens the person and the group to other Revival manifestations. Once the laughter broke out, other new gifts of the Spirit came forth.
