By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days.
(Heb. 11:30)
Jericho was a walled city that kept the children of Israel from marching into the Promised Land. Today, there are Jerichos that stand between you and your promised land of blessing. If you don't take Jericho, or the obstacle that faces you, you will never receive the blessing God has for you.

There are walled cities that come against homes and families. Sickness and disease, financial lack, and oppression are just a few examples.

Second Corinthians 10:4-5 says, "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."

In the same way that Jericho fell in Joshua 6, your Jerichos will fall by faith today. If you are going to take your Jerichos, you can't be a whiner, a complainer, or weak. You have to "be strong and very courageous…" just as God commanded Joshua. (Josh. 1:7.)

If the Word of God is not in your mouth, you can march around all the cities you want, and they will not fall. Like Joshua, let the power of God flow through you by believing and speaking the anointed Word of God.

When I was praying about whether or not we should start Victory Christian Center, I was scheduled to go on a trip to Israel. I didn't really want to go because I had not heard from the Lord on what I should do about starting the church. Since I had made a commitment to go, I went. One day I was praying on the shores of Galilee for direction, and God gave me three words: Go for it! We obeyed God and the church exploded in growth.

To take your Jerichos, obey God's commands explicitly. Do not open your mouth in unbelief. Be sensitive to God's timing, and be diligent, courageous, and persevering!

DECLARATION OF FAITH
The power of God's anointed Word flows from my lips just as it did from Joshua's lips. I am not intimidated by the Jerichos I face. As I obey the Lord, they are removed. I live in victory!
