"His family, property, labor, living area, the city and the nation, are for Christ. It is up to you to take what is theirs. Do not allow Satan to continue usurping what the Lord gave him. Do not settle. Why see their children involved in drugs, his marriage in ruins, leaving the drain financial resources and the society in which you are in chaos unfolds? Spiritual warfare territories won by the decisive moment arrived, the Israelites with Joshua at the head, fought a battle but not the physical but spiritual dimension.
And conquered Jericho! Remember, as Chapter 6 describes the book of Joshua, was a city closed to prevent incursions of the enemy (verse 1). The city, located in the Jordan Valley (see Deuteronomy 34.1, 3), about 8 miles from the Dead Sea, was strategic because it allowed the domination of a vast territory. Historians point out that the walls had a height of 9 meters and 2 meters thick. An authentic stone mass. On the walls there were houses. And their inhabitants were prepared to give battle. Given this practical reality, the Israelites conceived of the possibility of forced entry, although of course, several were being attacked by fear and discouragement. But God taught them a different strategy in our time we define as spiritual war plan: "The Lord said to Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho and its king, with his men of war. for the city, all the men of war, going around the city once and this shalt thou do six days.
