Jericho didn't fall because of Israel's strength, strategy, or expertise. It fell because God's people trusted what He said and did it His way. In this episode, Pastor Don looks at Joshua 6:16–20 and Hebrews 11:30. For seven days, Israel marched around the city on a plan that looked ridiculous. They stayed patient, kept their mouths shut until the right moment, and kept going even when doubt crept in. Then the trumpets sounded, the people shouted, and the walls came down.

Joshua had learned this lesson back at Mount Sinai (Exodus 19:12–13). There, God's people couldn't move until the ram's horn sounded the long blast. God expects His instructions to be followed, and going our own way has consequences. Real victory takes humility, patience, and perseverance. It takes faith.

"By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days." (Hebrews 11:30, NKJV)

Action steps:

1. Name your Jericho. Write down the one wall in your life that only God can bring down.
2. Do it God's way. Is there an instruction from God you've been second-guessing because it doesn't make sense? Take one step of obedience this week.
3. Keep marching. Don't quit on day six. Pick a set time each day this week to pray over your situation, even when you see no change.
4. Watch your words. Israel stayed silent until God said to shout. Hold back complaints and doubt this week, and speak only faith over your situation.
5. Give God the glory. When the wall falls, remember who brought it down. Thank Him out loud and share what He did with someone.
