“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 6:20 KJV
Joshua commanded the millions of the children of Israel to not speak one word till he would command them to shout. For six days they silently marched around the city. It was only on the seventh time, the trumpets were blown and the people shouted with all their might, that the Jericho city wall collapsed. Then the children of Israel went in and took the city in victory! In Christ when we face our Jericho wall, we don’t speak any negative or doubtful word. Our silence at such times, increases our inner strength and the peace of Jesus that can never be taken away. When we speak, we share effectively every good thing that belongs to us in Christ. When people shouted, the walls collapsed. We shout our victory out even before our wall collapses, and then we see our victory. We shout out our faith, boldly proclaiming what we have in Christ, and then we see our victory manifest. Let’s speak our faith-word for the word is near us, in our mouth and in our heart. Hallelujah!
