A Great Shout!

by TerryLema

Joshua and all the people crossed over the Jordan River. Their feet are standing on the Promised Land, but there are many enemies in their pathway. One of the biggest is right in front of them, the walled city of Jericho. God’s instructions to Joshua seem very strange.

“You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days. And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him.” [Josh 6:3-5 NKJV]

The people shall shout with a great shout!

“I Raise a Hallelujah” (link below) is a song published by Bethel Music. The story behind the song is fascinating and you can find it on YouTube. I believe this song captures the essence of the taking of the walled city of Jericho. “The people shall shout with a great shout then (and only then) the wall of the city will fall down flat.”

Beloved, the church has been silent way too long. It’s time to march. It’s time to blow the trumpets of war. It’s time to shout with a great shout! The walls of the enemy are vulnerable to our shouts of Hallelujah! Praise the LORD Almighty!
