a shout. So sometimes we shout because of what God has done, and we're giving him praise for that. Other times, we are shouting. And like the trumpet would call people to war, we are shouting, calling, and signaling to the armies of heaven to start being activated in the situation that we find ourselves in. And yet another reason that we shout is we give God praise for the victory that's still to come. We haven't seen it yet, but it's a shout of faith. [00:06:20] (26 seconds)  #ShoutOfFaith

Joshua and the people of God, they they are us. They are believers. They are Christ followers who are going into to take this city. And Jericho represents the enemy who doesn't want you to walk into the promises of God. It represents an impossible situation. It represents an impasse and something standing in your way. So this story for us, it's not so much about actual land. Although, if God has promised you some actual land, then that does represent that for you. But it represents for us taking the promises of God that he has for us in our lives, and it represents the enemy who really exists and who really wants to keep you from walking into the promises that God has for you.

So this is why at the father's house, we are a house of worship. We are a house of prayer because we understand that if we are not circling in prayer, then we have no hope. But when we have God in the camp, which thank God he today exists in the hearts of everyone who is has called upon his name and given him their lives, and we can worship together, and God is enthroned in that worship at all of our locations. When we lift our voice on Sunday mornings like this, it's not about entertainment. It's not about warming up for a message. It is about circling our cities with the presence of God. It's circling the things we bring in. Bring a diagnosis to him and circle it in the presence of God. [00:13:48] (38 seconds)  #CircleCitiesInPrayer

``And so the theme that we see in this story of Joshua chapter six, the main point I wanna give you today, if you got something to write down, notes, please do it. I want you to write this down. It has changed my life. It is the key from going to a cultural Christianity experience to a supernatural Christianity experience of following the God of the Bible, and it is this.

So we see this amazing supernatural story. The walls fall down. The people shout. They didn't even fight. And the walls come crumbling down. And you you might be thinking yourself, well, yeah, well, was Joshua. That was this man of God. That was, you know, back in those days. And okay. You say it's not mythology, but it's kinda hard to believe, but that's just for them. Right? No. No. God's supernatural results are for any person who simply obey his word and simply obey his commands. [00:15:25] (30 seconds)  #ObedienceUnlocksMiracles

Did you know that depending on what theologian you read and how you calculate it, there's between three and eight thousand promises in the word of God for all of us? What does that mean? That means there's more promises than you will ever experience in your entire life. And yet what do we do sometimes as believers? We go, yeah. But, God, what are you calling me to do? Lord, I'm just hey. How how are doing? Oh, I'm just, know, I'm praying. I'm just seeking God's will. Like, well, he he wrote you his will. And yet what can happen so many times is we get so enamored with just trying to figure out God's personal will for our lives that we neglect the universal will for our lives, and we wonder why we feel confused.

We have to follow God's instructions completely if we're going to walk into the supernatural results that God wants for our lives. I wanna tell you today, pay attention to God's commands and do them completely. God says, honor me with the first of your income, and I will open up the windows of heaven for you and pour out such a blessing you don't have room to contain it. Now maybe you've never experienced that open windows thing. Well, I would ask, have you honored him with the first and the best? [00:25:35] (30 seconds)  #FirstFruitsBlessings

See, because we can't worship something that we don't submit to. We we can't worship something that works for us. We can only worship something that we say, God, your ways are higher than my ways. Your thoughts are higher than my thoughts. God, you are infinite, and I am finite. And we see that in this moment, jere Joshua got this revelation of the Lord, and he said, God, what can I do for you? [00:29:45] (28 seconds)  #SubmitToHisWays
