The Power of a Shout

The Word of God says, "Come, let us sing for joy to the Lordl let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation" (Psalm 95:1). There is great power in a shout. A shout commands attention. A shout is prophetic and faith building; a shout calls things that are not as though they werer. A shout demonstrates and passion. A shout changes the atmosphere.
God's Word tells us to shout. "Shout to God with the voice of triumph and songs of joy!" (Psalm 47:1). "Shout for joy" (Psalm 98:3). Isaiah 26:19 says,"Wake up and shout." it doesn't say wake up and shot at your kids. It does say to wake up and shout for joy!
When I am leading worship, I don't shout to get people excited or "hyped up." When I shout, I am encouraging people to put action to their faith. A shout of joy changes the atmosphere over our lives. Praise is not an angry shout; it's a faith-filled shout! I am a singing teacher's worst nightmare because I strain my voice continually before I start singing. I get excited in the prayer meeting as we lay hold of God and shout His praise!
I want to go into every service full of expectation to see people's lives changed to reflect His grace in their lives. I want people to sing a new song. I want those who are sad to learn to shout! I want those who are timid to shout for joy. I want to help people see the Father, help them to "taste and see that the Lord is good." That is the power of a shout. I want everyone to know the power of a shout to the Lord
"The Lord their God is with them; the shout of the King is among them" (Numbers 23:21).

Ed Lapiz Back-To-Back Series No.1

18 Things To Consider While Young

14 Things To Refuse While Young

The first book I read on my entire life ... And I can say that this is one of the greatest book I ever read. It contains teachings on how to manage and enjoy your youth to the fullest and of course with Jesus Christ our God.

If you ever try to attempt to look for this book at National Bookstore, maybe you'll get curious about the book because of its design. The book has no back. Side by side is a front cover page. You need to flip the book VERTICALLY or in other words UPSIDE DOWN. Hope you'll not get shocked at the store while looking at it.

The first side which tells about things you need to consider or things that you need to learn while you are still in the days of your youth. So you can walk in the right and enjoyable life. Pastor Ed Lapiz will tell you everything what to do on the days of your youth. It tells about good things like finishing your schooling, making a lot of good friends, enjoy your family, learning to swim, learn fractions and percentages. and so on.

The other side which tells about things that you need to refuse. Mostly things that will tempt you to loose yourself into worldly things, worldly happenings like taking drugs, pre-marital sex, cults, etc.

So, why don't try to? The book cost only P100 at any branch of National Bookstore. Near religious sides of books, mostly where you can find the Bible. God Bless us all!!!
