The document discusses the Battle of Jericho from the book of Joshua chapters 5-6. God gave Joshua specific orders to have the men of war march around the city once a day for six days and seven times on the seventh day, with seven priests blowing trumpets. When the Israelites obeyed God's orders and gave a great shout on the seventh day, the walls of Jericho fell down and the Israelites were able to defeat the city through their obedience to God's commands. The document emphasizes that obedience to God can lead to victory, as it did for Joshua and the Israelites at Jericho.

The Power of Obedience
Joshua 5.13 - 6.27
Synopsis: The Battle of Jericho was won because Joshua and Israel chose
to be obedient to the will of God. We know the importance of obedience,
yet struggle with it. Joshua reminds us to respect God, humble ourselves
to Him, listen to Him, trust Him and do what He has said. We may gain
victory through obedience, just as Joshua did.
