Joshua 6:16 – “Now it happened that on the seventh time, the priests blew the trumpets, and Joshua said to the people, “Shout! For Yahweh has given you the city.”

Something interesting happened as I prayed while reading the Scriptures and pondering what I was reading. I heard the call and challenge to perceive and receive the dream, vision, and call and shout it into reality.

Before you think I’ve gone over the edge, go to Joshua. 

Joshua had been training for reigning for 40 years.  He had experienced God’s presence and been a disciple of Moses.  He had gotten into a comfort zone of dependence on Moses.  God said, “Hey, buddy, it’s your turn.  It’s time to possess the promise.  Wake up; it’s on you.  Moses (that which you relied on is gone). “

God repeatedly said, ” Be courageous and have no fear.  I am with you.  I have prepared you for this!    Now, get up and go for it.  When they circled Jericho for the 7th time on the 7th day, God said Shout your victory into reality.  

The SHOUT was an act of faith.

It revealed that the promise was in their hearts, and the shout brought it into their hands.   We tend to wait until it is in our hands to shout, but God says.

• We are to shout and then see. 
• We are to shout out of faith, not wishful thinking.  
• We are to shout because we believe the promise.  
• We are to shout because you see it in your heart.

When Jericho was taken, the people were presumptive and failed to sense the presence of sin.  Ai defeated them, and then, in their repentance, God said, in Joshua 8:1, “Do not fear because I Have Delivered into Your Hands…”    He spoke in the Past Tense!  He spoke as if it were already done!   In God, it was!

In Matthew 28:17-20we see our commission.   What is the vision and commission God has given you? 

• See it in your heart. 
• Visualize you doing it. 
• Believe it is still real. 
• Then, Shout it into reality.  I am serious!

It is time to stop hoping it might happen someday, take hold of it in faith, and Shout it out loud!

I’m SHOUTING now!  Healing, deliverance, finances, ministry, the harvest.   The vision I received over 40 years ago is Now!  Nothing appears different, but my Shout is releasing the angels of heaven to bring things from the earth’s four corners into place to make it happen.  People, finances, revelation, and authority are aligning and aligned.  God Said it!  I Believe it!  I Receive it! No devil in hell can stop it.

Shout it into the Present!   Will you feel foolish doing it?  Maybe, but ask yourself, “Is God faithful and truthful? “   If your answer is Yes, then Why Not Now, and Why Not You?

Have a fantastic, victorious overcoming day!   This is God’s Day, and you are His; therefore, the Day is Yours!   Shout the Victory!
