    Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Oct 12, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 23,993 views

    The walls we build are false sense of security. Only God can protect us. Just like the walls of Jericho, let these walls collapse and allow God's hand of protection be upon us. The safest place for a child of God is to be in His hands.

No one went out and no one came in. 2 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. 3 March around the city once ...read more
