As I was reading the Story of the taking of Jericho, I realized that God gave to Joshua a faith strategy.
It was already settled before Joshua ever took a step that God had given him the city.
But what was required from Joshua was a faith strategy.
When I say a faith strategy I mean that action which is required on our part to connect the power of God with the problem we are facing.
If you recall the story of Gideon you will remember how the strategy God gave him required him to reduce his army from around 30,000 to 300 men.
Then to stand with clay pitchers in their hand, and a candle inside them and a trumpet in the other hand.
At Gideons command they were to break the pitchers and sound the trumpets.
When they acted on this faith strategy their enemies turned on each other and a great victory was won.
All through the bible we find that there is a faith strategy that must be acted on to release the power of God into your situation.
For a widow woman in the book of kings, it was to gather empty vessels from all over town, then to take a small pot of oil in her belonging, and begin to pour into those empty pots.
Miraculously as she acted on this faith strategy every pot was filled with oil and her need was more than met.
For Joshua it was specific directions, to walk around the city once a day for 6 days, then seven times on the seventh day, especially critical to this process was that the people make no sound with their mouths until the trumpets sounded on the last day.
As the trumpets sounded, the people shouted and the walls fall down flat before them.
I said all that to say this:
I don't know what you may be facing today, but God has already decreed that you will be victorious, but there is one condition ( You must get his faith strategy and you must act in faith on that strategy) and when you do there is no wall, no problem, no giant, nothing that can stand before you.
As you act on that faith strategy you will create the avenue for the power of God to enter that situation and do what is humanly impossible.
So in conclusion:
I don't know what you may be facing, but I know if you will get a faith strategy from God, You will join Joshua and Gideon, and Jehosaphat, and the widow woman and a millions of others who have seen the power of God manifested in their lives, through the activity of faith.
