The Walls of Jericho Made Simple

Seven days of marching. One shout of faith. And the walls fell flat. The Walls of Jericho Made Simple is a Bible-first walk through Joshua 6:1-20, the story of how God gave His people a walled city with a battle plan no general would approve: march in silence, let worship go first, keep His presence in the middle, and shout when He says shout.

Eleven devotional chapters trace the whole campaign: naming your Jericho, the strategy of silence, obedience that looks foolish, perseverance to the seventh day, worship before warfare, the ark in the middle, the shout of faith, the scarlet thread of Rahab's grace, the wall falling flat, guarding the victory after, and teaching the next generation to march -- plus a closing prayer to pray aloud over your own wall.

Explicitly Trinitarian: the Father who plans, Jesus Christ -- Son of God and Son of Man, Lord and Savior -- through whom we come to the Father, and the Holy Spirit whose power alone brings walls down. Freedom and deliverance come by the Spirit's power, never by willpower alone.

Bring your wall with you as you read. Name it. March around it. Shout over it. Watch it fall.
