What Happens When People Shout Praises To The Lord Jesus
There are many benefits and blessings when people shout praises to the Lord Jesus. First Psalm 22:3 tells us that God inhabitest the praises of Israel. And when the Lord Jesus dwells around people praising Him, peace, strength, and healing will occur for everyone. Even if you don't feel like praising Jesus, praise Jesus anyhow with a sacrifice of praise. Hebrews 13:15 says By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name. Remember that the joy of the Lord is your strength and whenever anyone praises Jesus they will receive strength to overcome their troubles.
The bible has many scriptures telling people to shout praises to the Lord Jesus. Whenever you preach to a group of people, have everyone at the same time shout praises to the Lord Jesus. I guarantee that everyone in the place will get blessed. Psalm 47:1 says O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. Psalm 98:4 says Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. Psalm 5:11 says But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
Psalm 150:6 says Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. In other words everything including lost and saved people and all creation should praise our Lord Jesus for dying on the cross of Calvary for our sins and offering salvation to sinners. Right now get saved and receive joy, peace and strength. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again.
Brother Bob has been in some places where everyone shouted. Sadly it wasn't in the church. I used to watch Mike Schmidt hit a home run at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia and all the people shouted. I used to watch Julius Erving slam dunk at the Spectrum in Philadelphia and all the people shouted. It's a shame that in the worldly crowds at sporting events everyone can shout but most of the time you can't get anyone to shout praises to the Lord Jesus at the house of God.
Some people go to church to laugh and talk, others to walk; some go to church the time to spend, others to find a friend; some go to church for observation, some for speculation; Some go to meet a lover, others a fault to cover; But most go to church to doze and nod, but some how few to worship God.
Six Times In The Bible When It's Right
For People To Shout Praises To The Lord Jesus
1) Leviticus 9:24
When Destitute Wickedness Is Replaced
The first time it was right for people to shout praises to the Lord Jesus occurred at Leviticus 9:24. Even though all the people were destitute and wicked sinners, God allowed Aaron to bring a substitute sacrifice for the sins of the people. After Aaron made a wave offering of a bullock and ram, all the peoples' sins were forgiven. Therefore the bible says that all the people shouted praises to the Lord Jesus because God accepted this animal sacrifice that removed sin.
Leviticus 9:24 says And there came a fire out from before the Lord, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces. When destitute wickedness is replaced, all the people should shout praises to the Lord Jesus.
Like the people that shouted praises for Aaron's animal sacrifice, christians should shout praises because of the Lord Jesus' sacrifice at the cross of Calvary. This is because Jesus (our great high priest) walked into the Holy of holies in heaven and Jesus presented Himself and His own blood to the Father and the blood of Jesus cleansed christians from their sins forever. Hebrews 9:12 says Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood He (Jesus) entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. Christians should shout praises to the Lord Jesus because Jesus removed our sins with His precious blood. Right now like the people of Aaron's day, give Jesus a wave offering and thank him for shedding His precious blood that removed all our sins forever.
Christians should shout praises to the Lord Jesus because they passed from death unto life. Christians should shout praises about the fact that once they were in darkness but now they are in the marvellous light. Christians should shout praises about the fact that because of Jesus they don't have to die and go to hell. Christians should shout praises because they have been saved by the grace of God.
Ephesians 2:1 says And you hath He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience. Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, by grace ye are saved.
2) Exodus 33:10
When A Definite Way Has Been Revealed
Another time it was right for the people to shout praises to the Lord Jesus occurred at Exodus 33:10. And all the people saw the cloudy pillar (God's glory) stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door. All the people shouted praises to the Lord Jesus because the cloudy pillar gave them direction. A definite way had been revealed. The cloudy pillar led the Jews out of Egypt, protected the Jews from Pharoah, and led the Jews through the Red Sea. These Jews shouted praises because they knew what they were following and they knew where they were going.
The cloudy pillar appeared as God's shekinah glory in Solomon's temple. 1 Kings 8:10 says And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord, So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.
The bible says that our saved bodies are the temple of God and the Holy Spirit (like the cloudy pillar) dwells in saved saints' temple bodies. 1 Corinthians 6:19 says What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? Romans 8:9 says But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His. Like the cloudy pillar, the Holy Ghost will never leave us nor forsake us. The Holy Ghost will not leave us comfortless. The Holy Ghost will always lead us and teach us about our Lord Jesus. Shout praises to the Lord Jesus because a definite way has been revealed to christians by the Holy Ghost.
3) Ezra 3:13
When A Damaged Work Has Been Revived
The third time it was right for the people to shout praises to the Lord Jesus occurred at Ezra 3:13. During Ezra's time, the Jews were led away into captivity because they rejected the Word of God. But after the Jews were delivered, Ezra read the Word of God to the people and rebuilt the temple that had been destroyed earlier by the Babylonians. The people shouted because a damaged work had been revived and their temple was rebuilt. After Ezra preached the blessed Word, Ezra 3:13 says So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.
Brother Bob says christians in this world like Ezra should preach the Word of God everywhere to save lost sinners anywhere on this earth. Like Ezra, witness Jesus everywhere and when lost sinners get saved, a damaged work will be revived. Then saved sinners everywhere will be able to shout praises to the Lord Jesus. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again.
4) Joshua 6:20
When Difficult Walls Are Removed
The fourth time it was right for the people to shout praises to the Lord Jesus occurred at Joshua 6:20. The wall around Jericho seemed insurmountable for the Jews to conquer. But after seven days when the Jews shouted with a great shout, the wall of Jericho fell down flat. Joshua 6:20 says So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. It was right for the people to shout so difficult walls could be removed.
When the devil puts a wall before you, shout praises to the Lord Jesus and God will quickly remove that wall. If you are facing a difficult wall that needs to be removed; it might be a health wall, it might be a financial wall, it might be a wall in your marriage, it might be a wall with one of your children, it might be a wall about a lost loved one that you don't know how they can be saved. Brother Bob has good news for everyone. When christians shout praises to the Lord Jesus, all the walls from the devil will be removed, disappear, and come tumbling down.
Joshua's army at Jericho shouted before the wall came down. Shout praises to the Lord Jesus when you see any wall in your way, and the difficult wall will be removed. Walk by faith and not by sight and keep praising Jesus through any trouble and soon the trouble will disappear. Isaiah 59:19 says So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. Note that the Hebrew definition for standard is Jehovah Nissi banner that causes the devil to flee quickly and disappear. When the devil comes in like a flood, the Spirit lifts up a standard and makes the devil flee quickly and disappear. Shout praises to the Lord Jesus and difficult walls will be removed while the devil flees quickly and disappears.
5) Judges 7:20
When Deadly Wars Are Relinquished
The fifth time it was right for the people to shout praises to the Lord Jesus occurred at Judges 7:20. God dwindled Gideon's army down from 32000 to 300 men to fight the Midianites. It didn't look like only 300 men could defeat thousands of Midianites. But when all of Gideon's army of only 300 men shouted "The Sword of the Lord, and of Gideon" they got the victory over the enemy. Like Gideon's army, when people shout praises to the Lord Jesus, deadly wars will be relinquished.
Judges 7:20 says And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The Sword of the Lord and of Gideon. Note that the word cried means that the 300 men gave a loud shout when they shouted The Sword of the Lord, and of Gideon. Like Gideon's army, if people will give a loud shout of praise to the Lord Jesus, the devil will be defeated. Whenever anyone shouts at one of Brother Bob's meetings, I tell them to shout louder to totally defeat the devil. Someone once told me the problem with you Brother Bob is you talk too much about Jesus. I told that person Correction I need to talk more about Jesus and thanks for the compliment.
Note that when the 300 men for Gideon shouted, they had a lamp in one hand and a trumpet in the other hand. The lamp and trumpet represent the Word of God. Psalm 119:105 says Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. According to Revelation 1:10 the Word of Jesus sounds like a trumpet. Christians should shout praises to the Lord Jesus because the Word Jesus like a trumpet and lamp dwells in our hearts. When christians shout praises to the Lord Jesus, like Gideon's army, they will get the victory over the devil and deadly wars will be relinquished.
6) Revelation 5:11-14
When Destined Worship Is Realized
The sixth time it is right for the people to shout praises to the Lord Jesus will occur at Revelation 5:11-14. When the Lord Jesus takes the book mentioned at Revelation 5:7 and opens the seals thereof, multitudes everywhere (infinite angels and billions of people everywhere) will shout praises to the Lord Jesus.
Revelation 5:11 says And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
Revelation 5:13 says And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever. Everything that ever existed including the devil will shout praises to the Lord Jesus for taking the book and opening the seals thereof. Everyone will sing a new song to Jesus at Revelation 5:9 saying Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.
One of these days soon on the sunny banks of Zion we're going to see the Lamb of God Jesus that was slain who redeemed us to God by His blood and all of heaven is going to praise the Lord Jesus. Innumerable angels and christians are going to shout with a loud voice Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. Everyone should shout praises to our Wonderful Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength.
