Faith Capsule: Are you shutting your mouth when you need to cry out?

1 Samuel 1

Shouting out is not necessarily the same as crying out.
Calling loud can be a reasonable calling for attention.
At a time when law restricted the movement of lepers, ten lepers needed the attention of Jesus for their healing.
Luke 17:12-14 recorded, “Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.”  
Distance and the law that restricted the movement of Lepers were in place to deny the miracle of healing for ten lepers seeking healing from Jesus.
However, the ten lepers deny distance from denying them their miracle healing by staying afar to cry out for the attention of Jesus.
Jesus gave attention to the ten lepers for them to become cleansed.
Know to trust and hope to gain the visitation of God.
What is it that is standing between you and your miracle?
A thief is a representative of hindrance in the place of healing and deliverance.
John 10:10 records the word of Jesus, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.” 
As an acclaimed believer, let it be registered in you that the enemy cannot be more powerful.
Jesus came and paid it all on the cross for all with knowledge to engage Him, to gain from the abundant life He brought to all.
Crying out can be a reasonable means to gain the attention of God.
Psalm 81:10 testifies, “I am the Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.” 
One that cries out open mouth wide to gain the attention of God.
One who chose to remain quiet on the ground where help is available will not embrace miracle visitation.
The Ten Lepers could not be quiet but were loud when they lifted their voice and called for mercy.   
The Psalmist suggested receiving from God when he stated, “I will lift up my eyes to the hills from whence comes my help.” (Psalm 121:1) 
How are you calling on Him?
Could it be Hannah must have been quiet, to herself in her prayers while enduring provocation from Peninnah when she was barren?
On one of her trips to Shiloh, as a result of the provocation she received from Peninnah, she cried to God like a drunkard.  
Eli must have been seeing Hannah coming to Shiloh every year, but in the year of her breakthrough, she prayed like a drunkard and was mistaken for a drunkard by Eli. 
You do not have to afford affliction but resolve affliction by crying out uncommonly, if possible, like a drunkard.
