Then the Lord said to Joshua, "See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men.~Joshua 6:2
As God told Joshua this He went on to give Him the battle plan instructions on how he and the army of Israelites were to take down the city of Jericho.
Battle Plan: "March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams' horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have all the people give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the people will go up, every man straight in."~Joshua 6:3-5
What stands out most to me is in verse 5, is where the Lord tells them to shout and the walls would collapse, this is very similar to what we do in the Body of Christ today. You see our praise is a weapon, our shout is a war cry and when we shout unto God with a voice of triumph, our "walls" on the righteous path which would be trouble, trials and tribulations have to collapse. So when the going gets tough do as the Israelites did and start shouting; and you can be sure that just as the walls of Jericho fell so many years ago, your "walls" will do the same.
As the enemy of the Israeites were delivered into their hands, so will be yours. As the Israelites received the victory in battle that they thought they would never win, so will you. It's just as true for you today as it was for them way back then. The battle is already won! You have already received the victory! So shout unto God! Worship Him and Praise Him through the midst of your battle! God's got your back and He is fighting for you! You will win! You will come out on top! And when you do, be sure not to forget who it was that brought you out! Give God all the glory! God Bless!
