“Now the gates of Jericho were securely barred because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in. Then the LORD said to Joshua, See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its mighty warriors. 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, everyone marching straight in.”—Joshua 6:1-5
There is nothing God loves more than answering prayers, performing miracles, and fulfilling the dreams and visions of God’s people. That is who God is and that is what God does. And the bigger the dreams and visions we have focused on glorifying God’s kingdom here on this earth, the better—because, to God be the glory! The greatest moments in life are the miraculous moments when human impotence and divine omnipotence intersect—Around the seemingly impossible situations and challenges in our human existence. God is ready, willing, and more than able—and you may be only one prayer away from a dream fulfilled, a promise kept, a vison becoming reality, or a miracle performed.
