Psalm 47:1 Come, everyone! Clap your hands! Shout to God with joyful praise! (2) For the LORD Most High is awesome. He is the great King of all the earth.

All throughout the word of God there are great times of shouting. The one that usually comes to mind is the walls of Jericho that crumbled down on the seventh day of marching around that city. God said to shout after the priests gave one long blast on the rams horn(Joshua 6:5) and the walls would collapse allowing the Israelis to walk right in and take the city. All that came to pass and a great victory was given by the Lord that day. The greatest thing we can ever do is to recognize what is said in Psalm 47:2, God is awesome! He is the great King of all the earth. The New King James version says to shout unto God with a voice of triumph and the New Living translation tells us to shout with joyful praise. 2Corinthians 2:14 But thank God! He has made us His captives and continues to lead us along in Christ's triumphal procession. Through Christ we have received a continual voice of triumphant glory in our lives to shout praise to the Lord most High, even when the situation seems to overwhelm our lives.

Rev 4:1 Then as I looked, I saw a door standing open in heaven, and the same voice I had heard before spoke to me like a trumpet blast. The voice said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this." Here we have the ultimate trumpet blast and a great shout. This is when we get to be caught up in the air and be with Jesus. 1Corinthians 15:51 But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! (52) It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed. (53) For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies. If you can't shout victory with those words let's try these. 1Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. (17) Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. (18) So encourage each other with these words. I don't care if you believe in the rapture of the church or not, I am encouraged by these words. I am going to be caught up in the air to meet the LORD and I am gonna be shouting Glory Hallelujah right along with every body else on the way up! Praise be to JESUS!

There is another kind of shouting that needs to be done now too. Isaiah 58:1 "Shout with the voice of a trumpet blast. Shout aloud! Don't be timid. Tell my people Israel of their sins! We need not to be so timid about sharing the gospel. People are going to hell every day because we are not shouting out the gospel. Are we afraid of offending people or should we fear more the concept of them serving in hell for an eternity instead of all the great glorious shouts of praise in heaven. Hell is going to be loud too, but it is going to be loud with the cries of pain and weeping coming out of the anguished hearts of those who would not receive Christ. Romans 10:14 But how can they call on Him to save them unless they believe in Him? And how can they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him? And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them? (15) And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, "How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!" Beautiful feet carry the preacher who heralds the divine truth of Gods word to people. Sounds pretty but the truth is if we don't spread the word people are not going to hear it and people are not going to get saved. Luke 15:7 In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven't strayed away! When a sinner gets saved there are loud shouts of joy in heaven because we shouted out the word that pierced the heart of that sinner to get them to to shout out to God, Lord have mercy on me a sinner. Gods people are the most victorious people in the whole world. From victory over sin to victory over death we should be shouting from the top of our lungs, Glory to God in the Highest , Peace on earth Good Will Toward Men. Louder than the angels did on the very first Christmas. Don't be afraid to shout, just get use to it because heaven is full of it.
