Noise

Noise
Acts 8:7
“With shrieks, evil spirits came out of many, and many paralytics and cripples were healed.”

Negative things were coming out of people and people were leaving negative things behind.
There was plenty noise! The enemy will not gladly leave us. He will shriek, he will scream, but he will leave. And though it doesn’t say in this verse, the paralytics and the cripples bring healed were most probably making lots of noise too!
For those who like church to be quiet, this was a bad day!
But noise doesn’t automatically mean success.
I have seen a lot of noise from the stages of churches. Shouting certain words in order to see certain actions. I have seen shrieking preachers screaming their mantras.
We don’t need more noise from the stage and pulpits, but we would welcome more noise from the crowd.
So may God move by His Spirit in such a way that the crowd shrieks as the negative is turned around into a positive.
