THE WALLS MUST COME DOWN

I’m sure the Israelites questioned God's battle plan at Jericho. They would have preferred to storm the gates or scale the walls, but God told them to circle the city for seven days! It didn't make any sense. It had to feel like forever. But they kept circling!

     

I don't know what you've been circling for the past forty days or forty weeks or forty years. I don't know if you've gotten a yes, a no, or a not yet. You've got to praise God if the answer is yes and trust Him if the answer is no. If the answer is not yet, you've got to keep circling. It's always too soon to give up! What other option do you have? To pray or not to pray. Those are the only options.

  

   None of my dreams have happened quickly or easily. There were certainly moments when I felt like quitting, when I was tempted to think all of our efforts wouldn't make much difference. When you quit circling, you don't just compromise the present. Every promise, every miracle, every blessing in your future is forfeited. If the Israelites had stopped circling Jericho, they would have forfeited their first victory in the Promised Land. But there was much more at stake than that. They would have forfeited the Promised Land altogether. But they didn't stop. They kept circling. And if you keep circling, the walls will come down. If you pray through, the breakthrough is inevitable. Go ahead. Keep circling!

If you keep circling, the wall will eventually come down.
