You Can’t Prosper Until the Walls Come Down – Lessons from Joshua 6:1

 

You Can’t Prosper Until the Walls Come Down

"Now the gates of Jericho were securely barred because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in." – Joshua 6:1

   Prosperity often cannot flow until the walls come down. These walls formed by hurt, fear, unforgiveness, bitterness, and resentment block the very blessings God desires to release into our lives. When people build walls, they may think they are protecting themselves, but in reality, they are also blocking the flow of prosperity.

   When walls are erected against people, places, or situations, they do more than keep others out they prevent good from coming in. An open heart and an open mind are necessary to receive love, healing, and abundance. Fear of being hurt again or disappointed again often becomes a self-imposed barrier to blessing.

   People block their own blessings with these walls. Prosperity cannot fully manifest until the walls fall. When the barriers are removed, the flow of divine good is restored.

   Firstly, from sickness to optimal health: This shift begins with transformed thinking. Replace thoughts of illness with thoughts aligned with wholeness. Speak words of healing
and vitality, and take intentional actions that nurture the body toward optimal health.

   Secondly, from chaos to harmonious relationships: Change thoughts of discord into thoughts of unity. Declare words that foster peace and connection, and engage in actions that build trust, understanding, and loving bonds.

   Thirdly, from poverty to overflowing wealth: Renew thoughts of lack into thoughts of abundance. Proclaim words of provision and increase, and pursue actions that open channels for wealth and opportunity to flow freely.

   The walls of Jericho stood secure, barring both entry and exit. Yet, when they fell, divine purpose unfolded. In the same way, when inner walls are released through transformed thinking, renewed theology, and loving treatment, prosperity in health, relationships, and wealth can finally enter.

   Let the walls come down today so abundant life can flow.

   You can’t prosper until the walls come down.

📖 Reflection: What emotional or mental wall might be blocking the flow of God’s abundance in your life right now?

💡 Action Step: Identify one wall—fear, unforgiveness, or limiting belief—and consciously release it today through prayer, affirmations, and loving action.

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
