Ep 08 - Walls Do Break

Unshaken | Shalom World

The first instinct of a person in a difficult situation is to find a solution; it calls for a response that is usually based on our personal experience and what we have seen others do. When there are walls raised against us, we tend to look for a “fleshly” solution but, in the Scripture, we are told that weapons for our “warfare” are not of the flesh; they are supremely powerful in the Lord. So, what are these weapons, and how can we use them? When the walls are up against us, we can look at what the Israelites did when they had to break down the walls of Jericho. They consulted God - they prayed to God for an answer and they got a reply through the prophets. All they needed to do was walk around the wall lifting God in praise for several days; they quietly obeyed Him. The solution from God was beyond their understanding, and beyond their rational thinking but they trusted, believed, and obeyed. However difficult the problem is, do we have faith in God’s solution for our problem? Will we have the patience to wait out God’s plan? If we do, we will see the walls built against us starting to crumble. The solution is simple - praise God, honor Him, give thanks to God in the face of the problem, believe in Him, and above all, obey Him. The weapons of your warfare are not of the flesh.
