Joshua 6:1
Now Jericho was strongly fortified because of the Israelites—no one leaving or entering.
Joshua 6:2
The Lord said to Joshua…
Joshua 6:2
The Lord said to Joshua, “Look, I have handed Jericho, its king, and its best soldiers over to you.”
Joshua 6:3-5
March around the city with all the men of war, circling the city one time. Do this for six days. Have seven priests carry seven ram’s-horn trumpets in front of the ark. But on the seventh day, march around the city seven times, while the priests blow the ram’s horns. When there is a prolonged blast of the horn and you hear its sound, have all the troops give a mighty shout. Then the city wall will collapse, and the troops will advance, each man straight ahead.”
Joshua 6:8
After Joshua had spoken to the troops, seven priests carrying seven ram’s horns before the Lord moved forward and blew the ram’s horns; the ark of the Lord’s covenant followed them.
Joshua 6:9-11, 14
While the ram’s horns were blowing, the armed men went in front of the priests who blew the ram’s horns, and the rear guard went behind the ark. But Joshua had commanded the troops, “Do not shout or let your voice be heard. Don’t let one word come out of your mouth until the time I say, ‘Shout!’ Then you are to shout.” So the ark of the Lord was carried around the city, circling it once. They returned to the camp and spent the night there… They did this for six days.
> Why did God have them walk around the city once for 6 days?
1) To build their
2) To teach them
3) To give them
Joshua 6:15-16
Early on the seventh day, they started at dawn and marched around the city seven times in the same way… After the seventh time, the priests blew the ram’s horns, and Joshua said to the troops, “Shout! For the Lord has given you the city!”
Joshua 6:20
So the troops shouted, and the ram’s horns sounded. When they heard the blast of the ram’s horn, the troops gave a great shout, and the wall collapsed. The troops advanced into the city, each man straight ahead, and they captured the city.

// The Lord has already
your battles. You just have to believe Him and

Romans 8:31
What, then, are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
Romans 8:35
Who can separate us from the love of Christ? Can affliction or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
Romans 8:37-39
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

to take the
He wants you to take.
