A sermon on the Israelites marching around Jericho's walls. For six days they circled with no results, yet obeyed. On the seventh day the walls fell, showing that breakthrough comes after silence and apparent weakness. The speaker urges believers to persist in faith even when they don't see outcomes.
The children of Israel were given a promise from God himself, but the walls of Jericho seemed to keep them out of the Promised Land. But God already had a plan. It's interesting that God didn't give Israel a crafty military strategy, nor a weapon of futuristic proportions, nor assistance by angelic armies. He didn't give them a plan that required their human ability or their human intelligence. He gave them a command that required their faith. For 6 days straight, they were to march around the city walls once per day, And then 7 times on the 7th day. Now imagine walking around the walls of Jericho. Day 1, nothing happens. Day 2, still nothing. Day 3, silence. For 6 days, the Israelites circled those walls with no cracks in the walls, no signs of progress, no evidence that anything was working. Yet they kept obeying. On the 7th day, the walls finally fell. Some of you are in that same place, praying, obeying, believing, but seeing nothing. Don't let Don't let the silence fool you. Breakthrough often comes right when you're at your weakest, right when you've given all you can. The final day is always the hardest, but it's also where the miracle happens. The wall may still look strong, but faith is going to bring those walls down. Keep believing.
