AND THE WALLS CAME
TUMBLIN’ DOWN!

The walls of Jericho, the unconquerable walls of Jericho,
‘come tumbling down,’ as the walls literally “…collapsed…”
Joshua 6:20

To be precise: seven priests carried “…trumpets of ram’s horns in front of the ark (of the covenant)…with the priests blowing the trumpets…”
(Joshua 6:4) in a sacred enterprise

“When the trumpets sounded…” Joshua 6 tells us – “…the people shouted at the sound of the trumpet…”
(Joshua 6:20)
– reminiscent of David’s admonition in Psalm
20:5 -“may we shout for joy….and raise a victory banner in the name of our God.
May the Lord answer all
[our] prayers.”
(Psalm 20:5,
NLT)

Risk Appearing Foolish

Remember: Simple Says It
Best

There are six prayers in the book of Acts, the majority of which are simple and short; for example the prayer of Stephen for his enemies in Acts 7:59-60, is only 13 words, the prayer of Paul for instruction in Acts 9:5-6, is only 12 words, and the prayer of Peter for the resurrection of Tabitha in Acts
9:40, is only 2 words

K.I.S.S.

Help
Thanks
Wow

Help, Lord! -“…remember me…You will call and I will answer you….My offenses will be sealed up in a bag -- you will cover my sin…”
(Job 14:13-17).

Thanks, Lord! – “…the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away, may the name of the Lord be praised…”
(Job 1:21).

Wow, Lord! -“I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted…”
(Job 42:2).

Leave The Results To The Lord

‘Take off your sandals [Joshua. Surrender] -for the place where you are standing is holy
[ground]…” And Joshua did so.
(Joshua 5:15).

For as the writer of Hebrews reminds us: it was “…by faith the walls of Jericho fell….”
(Hebrews 11:30).
It is by total surrender to God that the biggest obstacles – the steepest challenges – the unconquerable problems – are indeed conquered after all.
