Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
2 And the Lord said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.
12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the Lord.
13 And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the Lord went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rereward came after the ark of the Lord, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
14 And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.
15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the Lord hath given you the city.
20 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. Joshua 6:1,2, 12-16, 20.
Shut down cities, states, or even countries are not capable of keeping God’s people from their victory. Governmental curfews, restricted travel, and prohibitions of assembly, are no match for the saint and His God. Dear child of God, you can attain God’s promise in the midst of pandemic, political upheaval, and lawless protests. Your inability to enter into your Divine promise is limited only by your silence.
The scene is set. The Holy Presence has been invited. The Lord’s priests are going forth and the troops of the redeemed are mobilized.
The atmosphere is charged with excitement and expectancy. The Church has its marching orders. The walls of Jericho are coming down.
And as they do, there are families who will be saved. The numerous kin of the prostitute Rahab are waiting on the lone piece of wall that God will preserve. She must be in His Son’s genealogy. Faith has positioned her for a great legacy.
Your response will bring down walls, save sinners, and bring you into your promised land. Your victory is inevitable. Follow the directions. You have been advancing in step quietly. Now your voice needs to be heard. It will not echo any longer. It will render the difficult places powerless. It will crevice the mortar and weaken its joints. The insurmountable will surrender to the decibels you emit. Your authority will be respected.
And the walls came tumbling down!
Shout; for the Lord hath given you the city, cried Joshua.
20 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
What city is before you? Shout unto God with a voice of triumph. Give God some praise up in here!
The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. Deuteronomy 28:7.
