March Around the Wall

March around the stronghold
Just as God’s Word has told
Through faith march around the wall
Witness as God makes them fall

As Joshua marched around Jericho
For you too it will be also
These strongholds the enemy build
Will fall and you will be healed

The battle is not yours alone
Obey God and you will be shown
That faith in God is victory
Just as in the Old Testament history

So march in faith around the walls
Hear and heed when God calls
They will fall rest assured
For this victory is the Lord’s


Brothers and Sisters,

As I was in prayer at church, I found myself marching around the edge of the sanctuary. Seven times the Lord led me around the entire sanctuary while the image a Jericho ran through my mind. As I was marching the Lord revealed that strongholds were falling throughout the church and inside of me. What a wonderful insight the Lord revealed to me.

We are warriors for Christ! You may be a front line prayer warrior or you may be in “Logistics” offering up needs and prayers for those engaged in the battle. Regardless of where you are called to be you are in the Army of God.

Too often I feel I need to climb into the trenches and fight hand to hand with the enemy. For those of you who have battled in this manner you know that it is not usually successful because we tend to rely upon ourselves and our abilities.

God revealed to me that I must remember Jericho. By obedience the walls were thrown down and victory was assured through the Lord.

The enemy is constantly building strongholds and we must constantly battle against these strongholds. However, if we trust in God and march around those strongholds they will be thrown down.

So “Forward…March”

In Christ,
Christian
