Even the Stones Shall Cry Out — if We Stop Doing So!
Listening to a Service online today, The LORD interrupted my own Praise and Worship.
As I was singing ‘Hallelujah’, The LORD quickened to me a short partial prophecy which I later prayed about and completed. He often gives me part prophecies which He later completes before I am allowed to share with others/ you!
I heard this:— “Prophesy to the rocks and stones, and they shall shout out their praises and Hallelujahs, because The Church is still silent, so I will have praises from all of creation.
Rocks, stones, mountains, trees, flowers, birds, and every creature shall shout the praise of The LORD, when My People are silent!”
So I asked for a bit more clarity.
“Many of My People seem to think it unseemly — or ungodly — to raise their hands when Worshiping or Praying.
They often even believe it to be sinful to cry out their Hallelujahs and praises to Me!
Do they not heed what The Bible says about Angels, Cherubim, and Seraphim crying out all the time they are in My Presence?
Yet they are so afraid of doing wrong in man’s eyes – pastor, elders, fellow members, neighbours, workmates, or strangers – that they would rather sit on their hands than raise them – they would rather stay silent and maybe think ‘hallelujah’, or at best whisper, than cry out a heartfelt shout of praise or blessing!”
At this point, my mind went to scripture,
“Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples [for shouting these Messianic praises].” Jesus replied, “I tell you, if these [people] keep silent, the stones will cry out [in praise]!”” Luke 19:39-40 AMP
“Exactly!” said The LORD, and He then allowed me to complete the word with which He wants to encourage you.
I prophesy to the rocks and stones, and all of creation, that they shall shout out their Praises and Hallelujahs.
The LORD says, “Because The Church is still silent — so I will have praises from all of the rest of creation.
Rocks, stones, mountains, trees, flowers, birds, and every creature shall shout the praise of The LORD when My People are silent.
I will teach My People that they really are supposed to praise with all their heart, soul, voice, and spirit!
For not only do I inhabit their praises, (Psalm 22:3 KJV), but I see their heart through those same praises — I see a joyful heart, a thankful heart, a willing heart through their praises.”
So just praise The LORD in your worship and lift up His name with everything in you!
“Praise The LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, praise His holy name!” Psalm 103:1

Chris Bennett came to salvation in 1962 but didn’t begin ministry until 2007 — a late-comer! Now mandated by The LORD to prophesy and open old wells of revival in the U.K., but especially in Wales. He has also operated Healing Rooms, and worked with deliverance teams, all with his wife, Linda. Happily now doing whatever The LORD asks of them! Founder, with wife Linda, of their ministry The Upper Room Encounter.
God you are so good, you are so good to me!
Hallelujah to my Lord and King.
Praise God! God bless you, Minister Bennett! I wanted to mention briefly, a passages of scripture the Lord has drawn me to by the Holy Spirit, regarding the praises of his people. 2 Chronicles 20:13-24, highlights the faith of a nation, trusting in God, in faith, where Jehoshaphat called Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, proclaiming a fast, then the Spirit of the Lord God came upon Jahaziel, instructing all of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem and Jehoshaphat, what the Lord wanted them to do, to win the battle, which was simply getting into a position, believing that the battle wasn’t theirs, but the Lord’s and that God would fight for them.
Judah and Jerusalem, were instructed to sing and give praises unto the Lord, almost instantaneously, God was setting up their victory, as they praised the Lord.God bless you, Brother Bennett!♥️
Praise God! Amen! This is true and I’m in full agreement. I’ve decided some months ago, to give the Lord God, the due praise and worship, in which He is worthy of, in all of his Divine Glory! Not to give the Lord Jesus or our heavenly Father God, their due praise, can be a form of pride, concerned of how we look in front of others, how will they perceive me, it used to be me, until I began to fall in love with Jesus Christ, all over again, thankful for His divine grace, brand new mercies, His divine protection of His Blood, encamping His guardian, warring and mighty angels around me, day and night, He is due the praises.
Thank you and God bless your heart of obedience, Brother/Minister Bennett! In heaven, I believe that what we are doing and participating in on earth, with increase in heaven, with divine times of praise and worship, amongst other heavenly activities, it should be a personal delight to lift up our hands and voices in praise before God. In the Word of God, praises are due and as examples of the Holy Bible, we see the Prophets, Apostles, Disciples, Evangelists, Priests, all who were apart of the Church of Jesus Christ, from the Old Testament to the New Testament, rendered praises, engaged in worship before the Lord. King David, Prophet Daniel, Prophet Ezekiel, Prophet Jeremiah, because they loved the Lord, not forced, but delightfully showed intimate praise from within the heart. Love you brother and God bless you!♥️
What a fabulous remark !!! I grew up in “non denominational” churches and I thank God there was less “religiosity” than most churches but my heart began to soar with love for our Lord when I truly began to worship with my arms and voice lifted to Him in praise! Please keep up your much needed comments and thank you!
