Obedience to the word of God is what is wanted by God, and then there will be times when God says be still, and I can be worshipping in a whisper just like the little quiet woman. But in public worship when the loud praises of God are coming forth then you are to obey God’s
Spiting in the mud and making a clay paste and smearing it over the eyes of a blind man is not the respectable thing to do, is it? It’s not respectable, and I am sure those watching Jesus do this must have thought, ‘this guy has lost the plot,’ ‘that’s a terrible thing to do to a blind man,’ ‘he doesn’t know how ridiculous he looks with two big patches of brown mud on his eyes, he looks like a funny Panda,’ and then he was sent to wash his eyes, and lots of people must have seen him, and though he is a dirty sod, he never even washed himself. But this man went where he was sent and he came back seeing, obedience brought with it a miracle. I bet he didn’t give a toss how he looked when someone gave him a mirror to look at himself in; he couldn’t see before so he wouldn’t have known what he looked like, he was too happy seeing.

When God’s word gives us instructions we should obey them, we should do as they say, and in that way we will receive our miracles when needed. If he says shout praises to God, it is obviously that God desires loud praise. And if you try and justify your little quiet praise to God barely audible saying I am a very quiet private person and I can’t praise God aloud like some others do, that is deception, you are being deceived. I have heard the quietest woman I know row with her husband and somehow or other discovered this massive loud voice raised in argument, so no one voice is too quiet unless there is something physically wrong with them; even the quietest among us can shout out praise to God at the top of their quiet voice, it’s the obeying that counts not the loudness of their voice, they are supposed to shout as loud as they can, it doesn’t matter if others have louder voices or not, their command from God is shout as loud as you can. I have a loud voice, I can be heard in a crowded church and no PA system and everyone could still hear me, so I use my loud voice to shout out praise to God, and the little old lady beside me with a voice barely audible can still shout as loud as she can and God hears the both of us equally.
Does the church not realise they are actually standing or sitting in the presence of Almighty God? Jesus said, ‘where two or more are gathered in my name so am I,’ so if Jesus is there should we not give him loud praise as described in the scriptures or should the church be respectable and respectably hold back in worship.
It breaks my heart to hear miserable praise to God where Christians who are bound for heaven are also bound up in other ways, and in church where there should be mighty shouts of praise to God; what most churches give is a half heartedly, “praise you lord.”
Come; let's shout praises to God, Brendan Mc Crossan 6-12-2011
word- shout at the top of your lungs- Jeremiah-31-7, you are glorifying your God and that is what he desires and loves coming from you.
5And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thundering and voices:
I’m sure God must be a nervous wreck by now, because coming from the very throne he sits on comes lightening and thundering and voices and those voices must be loud to be overheard above the thundering, so he is probably a quivering wreck with all that noise or even worse because the word now says there are millions of angels singing and a vast crowd to great to count. This is probably far too much for him; he will maybe need a little holiday to Turkey or Tenerife, for a few months to get away from all that noise. I’m sure he will stay away from our churches because of the loud praise he probably hears there; after all he needs his rest.
Our leaders say ‘praise you lord’ but don’t shout it out to encourage their flock to shout. We can shout out insults to one another with no problem, yet shouting out to god is not done in most churches, and in fact some churches don’t have any praise at all or just a choir singing and no one else, just the congregation listening but not taking part.
I like this version the message bible, it expresses what I feel. Come on let’s shout out praises, let’s lift the roof with praise, in other words loud praise only will lift the roof. Let’s march into his glorious presence singing praises, lifting the rafters in heaven with our hymns. Let’s not stand with our hands in our pockets looking bored.
Revelation 4 King James Version (KJV)
What an insult we Christians offer to our God, a God who created singing and loud sounds and thunder and is used to listening to it day and night, it goes on and on forever never ceasing, day and night they were praising God and yet we Christians barely give him a slightly raised voice because someone else might hear us and we would die of embarrassment. What a mockery we Christians bring with us to church; such little love or respect for God. We should be giving him loud praise from a grateful heart; no one else shouts out praise to God so we better not.
Most Christians I know are almost fearful to sing out praises never mind shout them out. They would say there’s no need to shout, God is not deaf; no God is not deaf, neither is he nervous, but is it quiet praise we hear in heaven or is it like the thunderous sounds like mighty rushing water or a thunder in the sky. In revelations praise is described like a thunderous roar.
Come,Psalm-95:1-The-Message-Biblelet'sshoutpraisestoGod, raise the roof for the Rock who saved us! Let's march into his presence singing praises, lifting the rafters with our hymns!
Revelation 5
Revelation 7
9After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindred’s, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;10And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
King James Version (KJV)
Do you think that with all these singing and shouting at the top of their voices the sound would be loud, and give God a headache, somehow or other I doubt that very much, this is what is happening in heaven don’t’ you just wish that you could join in with the heavenly praises with loud shouts of halleluiah, glory lord.
Christian friends don’t you just wish that you could feel the freedom to worship God with true freedom, no limits on worshipping him, and not limited to a certain time, just to be open to hours of worship if you felt like it.
Psalm 107:22-24 the Message Bible.
King James Version (KJV)
Lift high your praises, I believe that God is speaking to us in this scripture verse – lift high your praises, don’t stifle them feel free to sing and shout. Shout louder than people who go
11And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 12Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
11And 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; sayingwith 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. 13And 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 sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever. 14And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that lives forever and ever.
So thank God for his marvellous love, for his miracle mercy to the children he loves. Lift high your praises when the people assemble, shout Hallelujah when-the-elders-meet!
to football matches shout. Did you ever notice that the people who go to football matches have no problems screaming and shouting abuse at the opposition team or at the referee? Or screaming for their team; encouraging them onwards towards victory. We have a crowd of people looking over the grandstand of heaven looking down on us, encouraging us on to our victory.
Psalm 150-Amplified Bible (AMP)1PRAISE THE Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in the heavens of His power! 2Praise Him for His mighty acts; praise Him according to the abundance of His greatness!(A) 3Praise Him with trumpet sound; praise Him with lute and harp! 4Praise Him with tambourine and [single or group] dance; praise Him with stringed and wind instruments or flutes! 5 Praise Him with resounding cymbals; praise Him with loud clashing cymbals!
OhJeremiah-31:7-The-Message-Bibleyes,Godsaysso:"Shoutforjoy
Oh yes, God says so: "Shout for joy at the top of your lungs why is God saying shout for joy at the top of your lungs, in other words as loud as you are physically able to; first of all you are shouting for Joy not with joy as I said previously, you are working your way up from the flesh, the physical effort to the spiritual which will come when you first attempt it.
There are dozens of scripture that say shout out his praise and some even say with loud clanging cymbals. If you refuse to give God his praise and worship in loud praise because you claim that is not your nature or claim that you are a very quiet person and don’t like loud noise or praising, then heaven is not the place where you want to go. In heaven it is terribly loud far louder than any heavy rock group with their 5000 Watt power amplifiers. Apart from the thundering that comes from the throne of God and all the angels singing and the tens of tens of tens thousands and thousands, there is all this happening in the next scripture.
We Christians don’t realise how wonderful our God is, we don’t even give a lot of thought to what he done for us, and what he has given to us, we don’t take time out to discover in his word every treasure he has for us who believe in him and love him. So shout out praise at the top of your lungs, raise cheers and sing out praises.
Oh yes, God says so; shout for joy is his instruction, not shout with joy, shout to get your joy going, you may start up in the flesh but you will end up in the spirit when you make yourself shout out for Joy because when you shout out praise to God over and above your heavy heart and depressed minds you will get his joy because he will come into his praises, after all scripture says he dwells there, {lives there.}
at the top of your lungs for Jacob! Announce the good news to the number-one nation! Raise cheers! Sing praises. Say, 'God has saved his people, saved the core of Israel.'
Amen; to God be the Glory.
What a shock to the system it will be for those who don’t praise God in a loud voice when they enter heaven, because there will be loud rejoicing every time a sinner is saved, and billions of angels singing and ten billions of billions of people singing and scripture even says God himself sings over you and what a voice he must have. So in future get off your bottoms and stand up in church and really rock the place with your loud singing praise to Almighty God, your God and your saviour Jesus and his Holy Spirit.
Don’t let evil smother you with their attempts to create disillusionment in church, to stifle your worship, to stop God getting what he deserves - all of you in worship.
Be an encouragement to others in your church sing out loud God loves that and you will be blessed because of it.
