Joshua and Jericho

Hebrews 11:30

Joshua 6:1-5

1. See It
Proverbs 29:18
- See the vision for your life
- Once you have a vision, no one will talk you out of pursuing it. It becomes more real than reality.
- God gives vision in pieces. We get a new piece almost ever week. It's what keeps us excited.

2. Hear It
Romans 10:17
- We hear by the Word
- We hear baby the preaching. Listen more, not just once a week.
- We hear by circumstances. Our faith is built throughout life.

3. Obey It
1 Samuel 15:22
- It's not enough to just hear it. We have to obey it. (James 1:22)
- If you follow Christ, there must be a change.
- 40,000 people had to circlet the city 6 times with their mouths shut
- They accomplished in 6 days what the previous generation couldn't do in 40 years. Why? No talking! No complaining, no whining, no arguing.
- They were united

4. Take It
Joshua 6:20
- The people took the city. Not the priests, not the worship team. Although they went first.
- Worship always proceeds warfare. It confuses the enemy and sets up God for the battle. He fights for us. That's why worship is not a spectator sport. We enter into it. There is a Biblical mandate for worship!
- When we are united, the gates of hell cannot stand in our way. We need to shout!
