In modern times, archeologists initially doubted the truth of the Biblical story of the battle of Jericho because the site had yielded no strong evidence. But in the 1950s, a British archaeologist named Kathleen Kenyon re-excavated the site with modern methods. She then found strong evidence that collaborated the Bible’s account of how the city was destroyed!
Her archaeological team found evidence for a massive destruction by fire, just as the Bible relates. Remarkably, just as the Bible had also said that Rahab’s house was spared, the archaeologists found that the north side of the city wall was preserved with houses in it. These houses were not destroyed while the rest of the wall fell.
The archeologists concluded that a great force, like an earthquake, must have pushed down the massive walls. But they were baffled by the manner in which the wall was selectively taken down suggesting that something other than a natural calamity had brought them down. The only possible explanation is of course the Bible’s account that the supernatural power of God destroyed the walls.
The destruction of Jericho was supernaturally executed because the city was too fortified for the Israelites. As Joshua was contemplating the formidable task of conquering Jericho, he looked up and suddenly saw a man with a drawn sword. This man revealed Himself as the “captain of the hosts of the Lord,” and commander of the Lord’s army who had come to fight for Israel.
Joshua then realized that the battle was not his, but rather the battle belonged to the Lord. After Joshua followed the instructions to march around the city walls, God’s power came down and destroyed the formidable resistance of Jericho
The truth is, between you and your promised land, there will always be a resisting wall of Jericho. You either have to defeat it through God’s power, or it’s going to stop you from accessing your next level of destiny. If you are facing any impossible battle today, in your health, family, finances or relationships, it is time to seek the Lord with greater fervency through studying the Word, prayers and worship.
As God arises, every enemy of your destiny must scatter. What a comfort and great encouragement to know that we are never alone when we face our strongest battles. When we face situations that seem overwhelming and greater than us, when we turn to the Lord, He always sends help out of Zion. The commander of the Lord’s army that met Joshua was a manifestation of the pre-incarnate Christ.
When we come in submission and worship, the Lord manifests Himself to us as the mighty man in battle. Whatever walls of resistance you may be confronted with today, be assured that they are no match for the power of your God. It was Israel’s faith in God that actually brought down the walls.
Hebrews 11:30 says (ESV) ‘By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days’. Today, through faith in God and your shout of praise, surely every wall resisting your progress will come tumbling down.
PRAYER: Father, please grant me the grace to seek greater intimacy with You through consistent worship, prayers and study of Your Word. Thank You Lord for destroying every wall of resistance and giving me victory and dominion in Jesus’ Name.
