“By Faith: March, Shout, Covet Not”

Blessings folk!

The Lord spoke.
Joshua and the children of Israel obeyed.
They marched around Jericho one time, every day for six days.
Then…

Joshua 6:15-21
Then on the seventh day they rose early at the dawning of the day and marched around the city in the same manner seven times; only on that day they marched around the city seven times.

At the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people,
“Shout! For the LORD has given you the city.

“The city shall be under the ban, it and all that is in it belongs to the LORD; only Rahab the harlot and all who are with her in the house shall live,
because she hid the messengers whom we sent.

“But as for you, only keep yourselves from the things under the ban, so that you do not covet them and take some of the things under the ban, and make the camp of Israel accursed and bring trouble on it.

“But all the silver and gold and articles of bronze and iron are holy to the LORD;
they shall go into the treasury of the LORD.”

So the people shouted, and priests blew the trumpets; and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight ahead, and they took the city.

They utterly destroyed everything in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox and sheep and donkey, with the edge of the sword.


By faith, they obeyed and marched around the city seven times.
By faith, they were silent.
By faith, they shouted and took the city.
By faith, they kept themselves from the things “under the ban” (a subject for another time&hellipWinking.
By faith, they were not to covet…a Word for us.
By faith, they utterly destroyed everything in the city…as the Lord commanded.

Again, not only were they to “go forth” by faith, they were to keep themselves from the “things under the ban”, things that were the Lord…holy to Him.

May we do likewise.
