ONE SOUND

In Joshua chapter 6 the first thing that Joshua and his new leadership team faces in the Promised Land is a problem. Jericho became the next issue to deal with even though still battle-worn from the Red Sea experience. Joshua was a listener! He had listened to God through the wilderness, through the sea and now directed his energies to listening to the plan that God had for the problem. You may have a problem but you also have a plan!

The plan was for Israel to come into unity and come into agreement with the plan to remove the walls that prevented them from possessing what God had promised. Six days they closed their mouths and followed the plan which was to walk once around the city of Jericho each day. On the seventh day after the seventh circuit the plan said for Israel as a whole to shout.

It was not the strength of Israel or the loudness of their instruments that caused the walls associated with Jericho to fall. It was, and is the simplest of concepts that describes God throughout history, ONE SOUND! Together with unity and agreement the challenge was removed. The sound of victory is ONE SOUND, the heart beat of God is ONE SOUND, the sound of deliverance is ONE SOUND!
