Shouting Down the Enemy

The enemy is noisy. He makes noisy threats and breathes noisy lies. Sometimes, you just have to shout him down, as old-time Pentecostal preachers would say. The sound of now through a shout breaks down demonic walls blocking the way to your promised land.

We see this concept in Joshua 6:1–5, 20–21:

Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in. And the LORD said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor. 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.”

. . . So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, ox and sheep and donkey, with the edge of the sword.

Joshua got the breakthrough with a shout. The Israelites literally shouted the walls down. It may be time to shout down the walls holding back your healing or your financial breakthrough. You may have to shout at the mountain representing the obstacles to walking in the prophetic life God wants you to live.

This is a more intense approach than speaking to your mountain, which is a familiar biblical image. Jesus said, “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says” (Mark 11:23).

Maybe you are facing an intimidating mountain. Maybe you are staring at an entire mountain range—problem after problem after problem mounting up against you. Whether there is a single mountain or more mountains than you can count, speaking is always the right strategy—but sometimes you have to raise your voice a little louder and actually shout at it!

Let’s look at Zechariah. An angel prophesied a word from the Lord for the prophet to give to Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah who had laid the foundation for the Temple. Imagine the resistance Zerubbabel faced in this effort!
