Opposite You

OPPOSITE YOU

Joshua 5:13-15, 6:1-21< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

 

The wall of < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Jericho represented hindrance, delay, denial, frustration and it represented an agent of failure to the children of Israel at the point of clearing the entire hurdle that led to their Promised Land. The responsibility of crossing Jericho was laid on Joshua who took over the leadership after Moses. Joshua has the responsibility to go over the Wall of Jericho that is described as impenetrable. While Joshua was standing beside Jericho, he refused to look at Jericho but rather looked in the opposite direction. Are you looking to what is standing in your way of breakthrough or are you looking away from it and towards help from above? Joshua 5:13 mentioned how Joshua received the package of breaking through the Jericho of hindrance, ÒAnd it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, ÒAre You for us or for our adversaries?Ó Joshua did not look at the hindrance, but he rather lifted his eyes and looked in the opposite direction. He did this with the understanding that in the opposite direction of evil agendas is the package for GodÕs deliverance. Joshua encountered with the Commander of the LORDÕs army because he was able to look in the opposite direction of the representative of hindrance (Jericho). You can breakthrough if you will trust and know to look away from where you have been told there is no way. There is a way of escape because He is a faithful God.
