Shout

November 30, 2023

"And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD was come into the camp." 1 Samuel 4:6

We have all have experienced an event when the entire crowd would cheer with excitement when their team accomplished a great play or when something happened good for their team. We have cheered for our children as they played sports or participated in other activities. It is from pure joy that we lift our voices or clap when we are rooting for someone. There may have even been times when we have had to be our own cheerleader and cheer ourselves on to victory. When we take the time to see all that The Lord has done in our lives we should be able to shout for glory for all the great things He has done. The Scripture reminds us, when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, what is the meaning of the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp. I encourage you today that no matter what you are facing in your life, shout unto The Lord with a voice of triumph. Shout because The Lord has given you victory. Shout because He has kept and blessed you. Shout because He has seen you through your good and bad days. Shout because no matter what it looks like you know that God is present with you. Shout unto The Lord and confuse your enemy. You must learn how to shout in the storm to let the storm and the enemy know the storm cannot and will not have victory over your life. Stop crying and start shouting. Stop being down and start shouting for no matter what you know that the presence of The Lord is with you, and you will make it out of what you are in. Your shout and your praise confuse the enemy. I am shouting for the victory that is on the way in my life. I am shouting because I serve a great God who is doing great things in my life. My enemies may not understand my shout now, but they will when I get the victory. My shout will usher in my victory this is why I am so confident, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"

Prayer:

Lord you are so good to me. I know your favor is on my life, and I am determined to shout through all that I face. I know that my shout to you confused the enemy and my situation. I thank you for your presence in my life, and I know that since you are with me, I have nothing to fear or worry about. Thank you Lord for allowing me to shout and let the world know that you are with me. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
