In the book of Joshua the Lord told Joshua to march around the walls of Jericho one time each day for six days. While they marched they were to keep silent. On the seventh day they were to march around seven times. When they heard the trumpet blow to shout!!!! When they shouted the walls of Jericho came tumbling down!
God delivered the victory to the people over Jericho in a most unique manner. He did not tell them to pick up a weapon, sword, spear or shield. He simply told them…march, keep silent and shout!
Sometimes God doesn’t deliver you in the same manner that He did before nor does He always deliver in the way you planned it. Sometimes God gives us help just because we holler.
Blind Bartimaeus was healed because he hollered. He cried out, Lord have mercy on me! When you are in despair or you need direction…stop trying to solve the problem and just SHOUT! There is power in our praise. Our praise lets the enemy know that he has no power or victory over us even when it looks like he does.
I have learned to praise him in good or bad times. Sunshine and the rain.
One last thing…the walls of Jericho came tumbling down…AFTER they shouted. They victory came after the shout. Some of you have received the victory because you haven’t hollered yet! I dare you to holler right now!
