By faith, the walls of Jericho fell down after they were compassed about seven days.
And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Are you for us, or for our adversaries? And he said, No; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What says my Lord unto his servant? And the captain of the Lord's host said unto Joshua, Loose your shoe from off your foot; for the place whereon you stand is holy. And Joshua did so.
Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him. And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, You shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall you shout.
And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbor? And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, and went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever you spend more, when I come again, I will repay you. Which now of these three, think you, was neighbor unto him that fell among the thieves? And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do you likewise.
And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging: And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passes by. And he cried, saying, Jesus, you, son of David, have mercy on me. And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, you son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, Saying, What will you that I shall do unto you? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Receive your sight: your faith has saved you. And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus. Which was the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul and desired to hear the word of God. But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him. And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, you child of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
Heb. 11:30;Josh. 5:13-15-Josh. 6:1&5&10;Luke 19:1;Luke 10:29-37;Luke 18:35-43;Acts 13:6-12;Matt. 20:29
You know you have victory, but you must proclaim it, by a shout, giving the glory to the Lord. Where is the love? Don't put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in your brother's way. Rom. 13:14 Don't take the reward out of the Bible: God is a Rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Heb. 11:6 Keep calling on the name of the Lord to get your healing and your deliverance. Where is the love? Remember: The walls of Jericho fell, the walls hindered God's people from God's promises. Heb. 11:30. Don't stand in your brother's way from the truth; you are hindering God; people can turn from their wicked ways. We really don't know who will change; so commit it to the Lord. He will keep your soul in well doing as a Faithful Creator. He knows who did you wrong and vengeance is His not yours. Amen. All their lives they lived on a wall that would hinder the people from going through. That wall can be a grudge; that wall can be confusion or a lie, or that wall can be condemning innocent and just people. God so loved the world, He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish. And if God gave his Son for you, how much more shall he freely give you all things, that you need. God has a blessing with your name on it, with his name on it. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21 Healing and forgiveness is the children's bread. The Lord knows them that are His and let everyone that is called by the name of the Lord depart from iniquity. God did not call you to hang around to make sure people get right, that's his business. Amen. The Lord called me to preach the good news. Keep it moving don't stop, No!
