(Joshua 6:1)<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After overcoming the impossible in Egypt and crossing the sea and the desert, the next generation of the children of Israel walked through a miraculous dry pathway in the Jordan River and headed into the Promised Land. After overcoming so many humanly impossible problems, they faced another challenge. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Challenges arise because satan tries to stop the people of God from taking possession of His promises. Evil knows that when the people of God achieve victory, their lives glorify God. <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/birafonseca.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bishop Bira Joshua<\/a><\/span> explains how evil plots against God\u2019s people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><em>\u201cBecause of you, satan creates problems. We face it, we see it. That\u2019s why people say, \u2018What others get easily, for me, is very difficult. For me, it is too hard.\u2019 Satan is building walls against us. What do we need to do? We have to march. The Lord said for the people to march. And the enemy soldiers on the top of the wall thought the people marching were crazy. But that people overcame their obstacles,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 explained the bishop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>A Time to Take Extraordinary Actions of Faith<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When people face seemingly impossible challenges, many resort to praying, asking for prayers, and pleading with God for mercy. However, Bishop Joshua explains that victory comes from exercising our faith and trust in the Word of God and having an attitude of revolt against the situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThere comes a time in life not for prayers, not for supplications, but there comes a time in life for revolt\u2026 That was the situation of the people of God. When they saw the wall of Jericho, it caused a revolt, indignation, and frustration, and those people at that moment could not pray. They could not just say, \u2018O Lord, have mercy on me.\u2019 Many are always praying the same prayer daily. Let me tell you, there comes a time in life<\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><em> when we need to shout! Literally, we need to shout,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 exclaimed the bishop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The Shout of Faith and Victory<\/strong><\/h4>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>So the people shouted when\u00a0the priests\u00a0blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that\u00a0the wall fell down flat\u2026 (Joshua 6:20)<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When reading this verse, many envision the wall crumbling. However, <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/birafonseca.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bishop Joshua<\/a><\/span> highlights that the Bible mentions the wall fell down flat. It did not crumble but fell flat, allowing the children of Israel to march over it into the Promised Land. The bishop then emphasizes the importance of using the authority God gave us through His Son Jesus and His Word to shout against the wall of problems we are facing by faith.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><em>\u201cWe need to shout! And the walls, the bricks, the blocks will hear our voice, and this problem of yours, in Jesus\u2019 name, will fall! When they shouted the shout of victory, the walls fell. So their biggest obstacle now was under their feet,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 said the bishop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What Are These Walls Today?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The walls of Jericho today are the spiritual obstacles and the spiritual barriers that try to block God\u2019s people from moving forward. What have been the setbacks and barriers you have been facing?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2022 Losses<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2022 Anxiety<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2022 An impossible case<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2022 An injustice<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2022 Blocked money<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2022 Financial stagnation<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2022 Delayed documents<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2022 Reoccurring health issues<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><em>\u201cRegardless of what you are facing, do not give up on yourself! On Sunday at 10 AM, we will shout against the walls. It\u2019s not against a city. It\u2019s not against a man. It\u2019s not against an institution. It\u2019s not against the landlord or a bank. We are not fighting against institutions or human beings. We are fighting against the evil spirit that built walls around you. We are going to shout the shout of victory against the problem. And this wall in Jesus\u2019 name will fall down,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 exclaimed the bishop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Day of the Falling of the Walls<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We invite you to write <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">on a piece of paper<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> the walls you have been facing and bring it to The Universal Church this Sunday, November 10th, at 10 AM.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Come as you are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cEven the Lord Jesus had to use the Word to say, \u2018It is written<\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><em>,\u2019 and He overcame satan by using the Word. You will use the Word of God, the Promise, and this wall will fall. This Sunday, you are going to shout the shout of faith, and the Lord is going to bless your life,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 concluded the bishop, making this special invitation to all, regardless of background or religion.
