The Shout Of A King
He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them. Numbers 23:21 (KJV)
For those who live a life cleansed by the blood of Jesus, for those who shun iniquity and perverseness, there is the promise of the LORD's continual presence. This makes them more than conquerors and over-comers in His sight. The shout of the King is among them.
Much of the Christian community has thrown off the idea of holiness as an attainable life style, yet, this is still the call of heaven to those that are the King's.
Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God. Leviticus 20:7 (KJV)
And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine. Leviticus 20:26 (KJV)
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 1 Peter 1:15-16 (KJV)
As you can see, the call to holiness is both in the Old Testament and the New. Our God is holy and His Spirit within us is holy.
If we are born-again Christians we are new creations, our spirit is new, pure and holy, and co-mingled together with the Holy Spirit of God Himself. He superimposed Himself upon our spirit. We are one with Him.
The Victor of the Cross, the King of Glory, is within us and He utters "the shout of a king" to declare the victory over sin is won and that those that are His own are cleansed from all unrighteousness by His blood. Every enemy arrayed against us trembles in terror at the sound of His voice.
