Under Gods Command
Joshua 6:2-5 Then the LORD said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. 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. 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, everyman straight in.”
God told Joshua that Jericho was already delivered into his hands, the enemy was already defeated! What confidence Joshua must have had as he went into battle! Christians also fight against a defeated enemy. Our enemy, Satan, has been defeated by Christ (Romans 8:37-39; Hebrews 2:14, 15; 1 John 3:8) Although we still fight battles every day and sin runs rampant in the world, we have the assurance that the war has already been won., we do not have to be paralyzed by the power of a defeated enemy; we can overcome him through Christ’s power.
