Shout the Wall Down

Joshua 6
The Message

1 Jericho was shut up tight as a drum because of the People of Israel: no one going in, no one coming out.
2-5 God spoke to Joshua, "Look sharp now. I've already given Jericho to you, along with its king and its crack troops. Here's what you are to do: March around the city, all your soldiers. Circle the city once. Repeat this for six days. Have seven priests carry seven ram's horn trumpets in front of the Chest. On the seventh day march around the city seven times, the priests blowing away on the trumpets. And then, a long blast on the ram's horn—when you hear that, all the people are to shout at the top of their lungs. The city wall will collapse at once. All the people are to enter, every man straight on in." 6 So Joshua son of Nun called the priests and told them, "Take up the Chest of the Covenant. Seven priests are to carry seven ram's horn trumpets leading God's Chest."

7 Then he told the people, "Set out! March around the city. Have the armed guard march before the Chest of God."

8-9 And it happened. Joshua spoke, the people moved: Seven priests with their seven ram's horn trumpets set out before God. They blew the trumpets, leading God's Chest of the Covenant. The armed guard marched ahead of the trumpet-blowing priests; the rear guard was marching after the Chest, marching and blowing their trumpets.

10 Joshua had given orders to the people, "Don't shout. In fact, don't even speak—not so much as a whisper until you hear me say, 'Shout!'—then shout away!"

There is a wall around your "Jericho", your promise from God. God has already given it to you. God has given you specific instructions as He did Joshua. God said march around that wall. In other words, turn down your plate and fast. Along with your fasting you need warfare prayer. Many Christians don't release the power of music. Part of the reason that praise and worship is important because music, first of all comes from God. God sings! Second, music has the ability to change the atmosphere. Remember Lucifer's job? The was the chief worship leader. he can praise unto God.

Your victory in this situation is in your mouth. Sing unto the Lord, make a melody. Even if you are no a "singer", sing. As you begin to praise and worship God change will come. Praise and worship are weapons of warfare. Don't let that wall intimidate you. March around it, then...Shout! Shout! Shout! Then watch that wall fall down flat.

God Bless
