  1. HOW TO REMOVE THE WALLSJoshua 6:2-5 Samson Adedokun

  2. JOSHUA 6:2-5 2 Then the LORD said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. 3 March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. 4 Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. 5 When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have all the people give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the people will go up, every man straight in.”

  3. Jericho was a military fortress designed to prevent any kind of takeover. • To take over the Promise Land, Jericho had to be taken. • To leave Jericho would mean leaving a powerful enemy behind who could attack. • Jericho had two walls. • The outer wall was six feet thick. • The inner one was twelve feet thick. • These double walls, combined with the position of the city, made it virtually impregnable.

  4. Many people have questioned the accuracy of this battle as recorded in Joshua. • U.S. News and World Report, October 1991 told of scientists who now confirm the Biblical record. • “The city’s wall do appear to have collapsed suddenly and the blackened timbers and stones, as well as a layer of soot dating to 1400 B.C., all suggest that the city burned, as the Bible says it did. Archeologist Kathleen Kenyon also found bushels of grain on the site, consistent with the Bible’s account of a springtime conquest so rapid that Jericho’s besieged populace had not exhausted their food.”

  5. 1. REMOVE WITH TOTAL CONVICTION JOSHUA 5:1 As soon as all the kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan for the people of Israel until they had crossed over, their hearts melted and there was no longer any spirit in them because of the people of Israel. JOSHUA 6:2 Then the LORD said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. JOSHUA 2:8 Exodus 23:27 Luke 10:19 JOHN 16:33 Romans 8:31 1 JOHN 4:4

  6. 2. REMOVE WITH TOTAL CONSECRATION JOSHUA 5:7-9, 13-15 7 So it was their children, whom he raised up in their place, that Joshua circumcised. For they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way. 8 When the circumcising of the whole nation was finished, they remained in their places in the camp until they were healed. 9 And the LORD said to Joshua, "Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you." And so the name of that place is called Gilgal to this day.… 13 When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, …15 And the commander of the LORD's army said to Joshua, "Take off your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy." And Joshua did so. 2 CORINTHIANS 7:1 1 THESSALONIANS 2 TIMOTHY 2:21

  7. 3. REMOVE WITH TRUSTING CALM JOSHUA 6:10 But Joshua commanded the people, "You shall not shout or make your voice heard, neither shall any word go out of your mouth, until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout." EXODUS 14:14 PSALM 46:10 ECCLESIASTES 5:1  PROVERBS 18:15  ISAIAH 30:15 MATTHEW 7:24-25 LUKE 8:18

  8. 4. REMOVE WITH TIRELESS COMPLIANCE JOSHUA 6:11-15 11 So he caused the ark of the LORD to circle the city, going about it once. And they came into the camp and spent the night in the camp. 12 Then Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD. 13 And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD walked on, and they blew the trumpets continually. And the armed men were walking before them, and the rear guard was walking after the ark of the LORD, while the trumpets blew continually. 14 And the second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. So they did for six days. 15 On the seventh day they rose early, at the dawn of day, and marched around the city in the same manner seven times. It was only on that day that they marched around the city seven times.
