Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It's her early what he prays party, I am Sherry Mackie,
- 0:03Speaker 1: and it's time right now. Four Today's word. When the
- 0:07Speaker 1: circles make no sense. When the circles make no sense,
- 0:13Speaker 1: Joshua six three through five says you and your fighting
- 0:17Speaker 1: men should march around the town once a day. For
- 0:20Speaker 1: six days, seven priests will walk ahead of the ark,
- 0:23Speaker 1: each carrying a ram's horn. On the seventh day, you
- 0:27Speaker 1: are to march around the town seven times, with the
- 0:30Speaker 1: priest blowing the horns. When you hear the priest give
- 0:33Speaker 1: one long blast on the rams horn, have all the
- 0:36Speaker 1: people shout as loud as they can, then the walls
- 0:40Speaker 1: of the town will collapse. Have you ever felt like
- 0:45Speaker 1: you've been walking in circles, doing the same thing over
- 0:48Speaker 1: and over, yet seeing no progress. You pray, you believe
- 0:52Speaker 1: you obey God's instruction, but nothing seems to move. Well,
- 0:55Speaker 1: that's exactly how the Israelites must have felt walking around
- 0:59Speaker 1: Jarrah every morning, y'all. They got up, they grabbed their weapons,
- 1:04Speaker 1: and they marched silently around those massive walls. Day after day.
- 1:10Speaker 1: Nothing happened, no cracks, no shaking, no sign of change. Still,
- 1:16Speaker 1: God's command was simply keep walking, keep walking. It wasn't
- 1:22Speaker 1: about the march. It was about their faith. God was
- 1:26Speaker 1: testing whether they would trust him in the routine even
- 1:30Speaker 1: when the routine didn't make sense. What they keep obeying
- 1:33Speaker 1: when nothing appeared to be working. What they stay faithful
- 1:37Speaker 1: when progress was invisible. Every lap around those walls built
- 1:42Speaker 1: their endurance, strengthened their obedience, and prepared them for the
- 1:48Speaker 1: breakthrough that was coming. You might be in a season
- 1:51Speaker 1: where it feels like you're circling the same situation. You're
- 1:56Speaker 1: praying for the same healing, you're believing for the same promise,
- 2:01Speaker 1: showing up faithfully but not seeing any results. Let me
- 2:06Speaker 1: encourage you today. Don't give up in your sixth lap.
- 2:10Speaker 1: God sees your consistency. He sees you doing right when
- 2:14Speaker 1: no one else notices it. He sees you serving even
- 2:18Speaker 1: when you're tired. He sees you loving when it's hard.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Your obedience it is not wasted. It's building momentum for
- 2:29Speaker 1: your miracle. Come on, Jesus. When the Israelites shouted on
- 2:34Speaker 1: the Seventh Day, those walls didn't just gradually crumble, They
- 2:39Speaker 1: instantly collapsed. See that's what happens when you stay faithful
- 2:44Speaker 1: through the circles. Suddenly what seems unshakable starts to fall apart.
- 2:51Speaker 1: Suddenly the promise appears. Suddenly God does what only he
- 2:55Speaker 1: can do. So I'm encouraging you today. Keep walking, keep believing.
- 3:00Speaker 1: The walls in your life are about to come down.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Don't you give up in your six laps. Come old, Jesus,
- 3:10Speaker 1: Oh Father God, in the name of Jesus, thank you
- 3:15Speaker 1: that no obstacle is too strong for your power. Thank
- 3:18Speaker 1: you that even when we don't see progress, you're working
- 3:22Speaker 1: behind the seas. God, help us to remain faithful in
- 3:25Speaker 1: the routine, trusting that every step of obedience is leading
- 3:29Speaker 1: us closer to break through. God, we believe our walls
- 3:32Speaker 1: are coming down. In the name of Jesus who. That's
- 3:37Speaker 1: your work for today. Take it applied to your everyday life,
- 3:41Speaker 1: and you continue to be encouraged and inspired even when
- 3:44Speaker 1: the circles make no sense. It's your early morning praise party.
- 3:48Speaker 1: I'm your girl. Sherri Mackie
