This is “The Walls Will Fall”. When Joshua walked around the walls of Jericho, his obedience to God caused the walls that held him from God’s promise to come down. When you finish the final seven days of your fast, God will do the same to whatever walls you are facing. The Enemy may have tried everything he can do to hold you back, but if you remain obedient to God this week, you will watch God do what you cannot do on your own.

I want you to turn with me in your
Bibles to the Book of Joshua chapter 6
you can just open it there and you can
kind of follow along I’m not going to
take time to read the whole story but
this story is found in the first few
verses and I’m going to preach out of
the Book of Joshua this morning but I’m
preaching
today about the walls will fall as we
fast and
pray get
ready we’ve got seven more days
of this fast and prayer
season and I want you to get your faith
up this morning get your joy up this
morning to get ready for the walls to
fall the enemy builds walls it starts
with one brick and he adds another brick
and another brick the bricks have names
the brick of doubt the brick of Fear The
Brick of negative thinking generational
curses hate unforgiveness oppression
depression
addictions and he says there’s no way
out there’s no way to be free enslaving
sin is one of those bricks but boy when
you get serious with God and you focus
your faith on seven days of fasting and
prayer and jump in on this fast and join
us I believe that the walls will fall
Joshua chapter 6 it runs parallel this
story runs parallel with fasting and
prayer for the last seven days of this
fast I want to give you some quick
lessons from Joshua’s story and the
Israelite story and what God is saying
to us for the next seven days number
one God gave Joshua a simple
instruction he said get out there and
March around the walls of Jericho one
time for six days days and on the
seventh day March seven
times and Joshua could have said this is
crazy this is stupid I’ll just go get a
battering round and I can knock the door
down why am I why why in the world would
I do that that makes no sense that
fasting and prayer stuff I don’t believe
in that I don’t believe in miracles and
that is your problem we try to fix our
problems our way we think that what we
think and what we do is all that matters
we take things in our own hands but
instead of following God’s simple
formula God’s simple prescription for a
miracle he gives a plan he gives an
instruction and one of God’s
instructions if you want to see the
walls fall is fast and pray for seven
days keep going keep fasting keep
believing and then the second thing
after he gave him a simple and some of
you say say that’s too simple that won’t
work if we’ll do what the Bible says God
will back it
up the second thing that God said in
Joshua chapter 5 he came near the Bible
said Jericho and he saw a man with a
sword in his hand and he fell at his
feet and he began to worship and
suddenly when he looked up even though
before he was seen the massive walls is
they would be higher than the ceiling of
this building history records and they
were much probably twice that length and
instead of seeing those walls he saw
someone who said I am the captain of the
lord of the armies of angels that are in
heaven I am the commander I am the one
who commands the armies of heaven and
instead of seeing that wall listen
carefully in that moment he got his
Focus off of the walls and he got his
focus on that angel that we know was
really Jesus and theologians would tell
you that he looked up and he saw Jesus
you got to get your eyes off the wall
for the next seven days and get down and
begin to worship God and March and obey
the simple instructions of getting your
eyes off that problem that is so big
those walls that are so so high and so
thick and get them on Jesus fix your
eyes on the commander of the armies of
Heaven I will look unto the hills from
which cometh my help my help is the Lord
and the Lord is bigger than that wall
and suddenly the wall goes out of focus
and he begins to focus on Jesus when you
fast and pray the focus comes off the
problem and it comes on the one who said
I’m the Lord and I will lead you and I
will guide you and I will honor you and
I will raise you and I will cause your
heart to be healed I will make a way for
you I will bless you you focus on that
one not on the walls fasting makes you
do that prayer makes you do that and
then in Joshua 5 and 15 he said take
your shoes off Joshua you’re on Holy
Ground now listen to me carefully when
he said take your shoes off what does
that mean that represents the past take
the past off why do you say it
represents since the past let me prove
it Deuteronomy 29 and verse 5 God said
for 40 years I led you in the wilderness
and your clothes did not wear out watch
this nor did your sandals wear out on
your
feet but they had traffic through the
Wilderness the dust of everywhere they
had been for 40 years they were wearing
the same shoes and God said I’m not
taking you into the same place you’ve
been walking in you’re crossing over
into the promised land and I need you to
take your shoes off let go of the past
the Lord’s about to take you into your
promised land and you can’t bring the
old you’ve got to get rid of the old
take off your shoes get rid of it get
rid of it Ephesians 6 and verse1 15
tells us that shoes mean something else
said have your feet Shaw with the
preparation or the Readiness of the
gospel shoes represent Readiness and
here’s what I’m trying to get you to see
so many times we’re so ready to go out
and get the job done we’re so ready to
just you know get our shoes on and go go
make it happen in ourselves but when you
fast and when you pray God saying take
your shoes off and be still and know
that I am God take your shoes off I
don’t want you to run out into the
battle I don’t want you to handle this
your way I want you to spend some time
with me the ne all I need Joshua for
victory the next seven days is for you
to get your listen to my simple
instruction believe it and do it and
then get the focus off the wall and get
it on me and listen take your shoes off
be still and know that I am God and then
he said something powerful to Joshua
earlier in that book in Joshua chapter 1
he said three times be strong and
courageous for I am with you be strong
and courageous and then he said meditate
on the word day and night and then these
are biblical words you will be
prosperous and successful
I do not apologize for those two
words it’s not a it’s not by chance if
you meditate in the word day and night
you will be prosperous you will be
successful if you keep this word and you
live it God Will Raise You Up From the
Ashes God will supply all your needs
according to his riches and Glory God
invented meditation don’t let the
counterfeit religions act like they’re
deep in meditation before they ever
heard of meditation God said meditate on
this wake up with the word go to bed
with the word play the word in your car
listen to it in music listen to it on
tape listen to it on whatever you got
iPods or Internet or what get the word
to flow in in you meditate on the word
of God and God says if you do it you
will be strong if you do it you will be
courageous if you’ll do it you you will
be prosperous if you do it you will be
successful well I don’t believe in that
stuff well you get real spiritual when
you’re in a financial crisis never make
fun or be little people who believe God
to supply all their needs I started with
nothing but this book and I meditated in
it and everything God has done for his
glory I want to say you can prosper and
be successful no matter where you start
somebody give him a shout and I’ll
stop single mother you can prosper and
be successful former drug addict former
jail bird in the prison doesn’t look
like you’ll ever be a provider you
meditate in that book right there open
it up while you’re behind bars and watch
God begin to open doors no man can stop
you can Pro say I will be bold I will
You’re Pitiful I said say I will be bold
I will I will be courageous I I will
prosper and I will be successful to the
glory of God take a praise break and
really Praise
[Applause]
Him
Glory Glory this is not a theory and
hope so for me I know
he loves to bless his people pressed
down shaking together running over shall
men give unto your
bosom
Hallelujah you don’t have to live in
fear you don’t have to live like a
little worm you don’t have to go around
oh God if I could just get by where in
the Bible does it say he’s a get by God
where in the Bible does it say just
don’t believe for anything just develop
a theology no I just don’t like that uh
God wants me prosperous and successful
okay we’ll go with your Doctrine for a
second we’ll give you 30 seconds God
Wants You Broke Tore Up From the Floor
Up unsuccessful he gets a lot of Glory
out of your
unsuccess and deep
poverty I don’t believe that the gospel
elevates everything it
touches
hallelujah hallelujah follow God’s
simple
instruction fix your eyes on the
commander of the armies of
Heaven take off your shoes be still and
know that I’m God worship me spend some
time with me meditate in my word day and
night you’ll be strong
courageous prosperous and
successful here’s a big
one he said Joshua send two SP to
Jericho ahead of the
March there’s going to be a prostitute
by the name of
RAB and because she’s going to help
you and hide your spies when the king
finds out they’re there and try to kill
them I want
you I want you to save her and her whole
house when they came to the city her
family was broken her family was known
as she was a prostitute that was
known but when the story ends the only
house that standing is rahab’s house on
a portion of the wall and she had all
her family in it under a red scarlet
cord that was blowing in the wind that
red cord represented the bloodline of
her
family now listen to me
carefully because ra have appears in the
bloodline of Jesus
Christ I couldn’t believe this but I
preached a sermon many years ago and I
have the they do transcripts of my
sermons and a lot of times I’ll ask for
them and they can get them in a minute
on a computer and I can read and
remember things that I might have
forgotten and um I had preached on this
subject before and I called the sermon I
can’t I was I was young and dumb I was
not wise and old like I am now but but I
preached on Rahab The Prostitute and you
know what I titled the sermon The Happy
Hooker I cannot believe that but that
was the name of my sermon how about
swallowed my tongue but it’s a good
title because she became the
mother of a child named Boaz she met her
husband and became the mother of Bo Boaz
and Boaz married Ruth and Ruth and Boaz
had a baby named oid and oid had a son
named D Jesse and Jesse had a son named
David and Jesus was the descendant of
David’s
bloodline what I’m trying to say to you
is Joshua had no idea that his actions
for the next seven days would affect
entire generations and the entire world
and put him in Matthew chap 1 in the
bloodline of Jesus
Christ God is not holding your past
against you he didn’t hold the past
against Rahab he said okay if you’re
going to fly the red CT and be part of
my bloodline I’m going to cancel
generational curses off of you and your
children and your children’s generation
and I’m going to put blessings on future
Generations all the way down to Jesus
coming out of her
bloodline oh I don’t know who I’m
preaching to but every dad every mom
every W toe Dad or Mom ought to shout
future Generations are being affected by
[Applause]
this here’s another one I’m almost
done the next thing God told him he said
now listen while they’re Marching for
the first six days tell them to be quiet
and not speak a word keep silent the
next seven days keep
silent quit complaining quit talking
about the
wall quit talking about the wall quit
talking about this and that quit being
negative quit speaking defeat quit
speaking that old thing I’m married to
quit speaking
that just obey the simple instructions
shut up zip your
lip maybe you need to shut down social
media wouldn’t that be something just
shut up get off get
offline just shut up and say I’m giving
God the next seven
days stop blaming others stop
complaining hold your tongue I give you
permission right now that if anybody
starts speaking negative things around
you and your family and they’re sitting
near you now if they’re not a Believer
you better not try it but if they’re in
here and they’re hearing this sermon I
give you permission to interrupt them
mid service and say Pastor Franklin said
zip it zip it zip it zip it that’s not
life you’re speaking that’s not Victory
you’re
speaking ask God ask God the Holy
Spirit to make you so sensitive that he
could interrupt you mids
sentence should you be speaking anything
about a person that that you’re
believing for on the other side of that
wall and it may blow up this week but
you stand right there and have the
confession of your mouth fix your eyes
on Jesus and have the confession of your
mouth the Bible
says Proverbs
29 verse 11 a fool gives full vent to
his Spirit they just let it
flow but a wise man quietly holds back
and keeps quiet Psalms 141 and verse
three set a guard over my mouth keep
watch over the door of my lips God told
Joshua order your army to speak not a
word all I want the enemy to hear from
you is the sound of
marching Seven Days Seven priests seven
trumpets seven seventh day after seven
times of marching on that day seven
rounds
then blow the
trumpet the blowing of the trumpet is
the wind going through that instrument
and you’re God’s instrument and the wind
of the holy spirit is ready to refill us
all and God’s plan will bring the
Victory and the walls will
fall Mark 10 and verse 9 what God has
joined together let no man put a under
Hebrews 13 and verse4 let marriage be
held in honor among all men if Ephesians
5:33 husbands love your wives as you
love yourselves and wives see that you
respect your
husbands God says I can restore that
ring on your hand as you
march I can help you I can deliver you
fast and
pray and here’s what I want to say in
closing choose the joy of the
Lord let there be joy and gladness God’s
going to give you Beauty for Ashes so
act like
it receive the breath of fresh air from
the holy spirit this
week fasting takes your prayer level to
a to your prayers to an to a whole
another level fasting moves
mountains
fasting tears down
walls this is your
shot this is your chance
and when the trumpet blows on the
seventh day God told God’s people to
shout for the Lord has given you the
city he’s giv you the family he’s giving
you what’s on the other side of the pain
and the walls Must
Fall if you’re hurting today and you’re
watching right now and you want to give
