By Faith the Walls Came Down!

"By faith the walls of Jericho fell down..."
       - Hebrews 11:30a



Dear Friends,

There may be some mountains in your life that you need to have removed. They may seem insurmountable.  How can they be overcome?

By faith.

Decisions need to be made.  Deadlines are pressing. Bills are piling up.  How can you accomplish all that you need to within the time constraints?

By faith.

You did not get the news you were hoping for following the job interview.  The test results from the doctor are not what you expected.  There are constant delays that are negating the success of your future plans.  How can you keep hanging on when nothing seems to be going your way?

By faith.

The sixth chapter of the book of Joshua gives the account of Joshua at Jericho.  The Lord let Joshua know that he would conquer Jericho. He gave Joshua specific instructions.  The line up was precise.  The priests had their place in line.  Instructions were to be followed as given by God.  

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.

 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.

 And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the Lord: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

 And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.

 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the Lord: they shall come into the treasury of theLord.

 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 6:15-20

By faith trust the same God will bring down the walls that stand in the way of your spiritual growth.  Follow the instructions set forth in His word.

By faith!

in Christ,
