My Seven Stones – My Jericho March…
Joshua and the 12 Stones
When I think of crossing over something, it makes me think of the Bible story in Joshua chapter four about the stones God had placed for a memorial after crossing the Jordan River. It was on dry ground. The same as He did for Moses in the Red Sea. It is a must read story.
Well I have my own stone story to tell. One Sunday night at church I spoke to a friend and said, “I think the Lord wants me to do a Jericho march around my house.”
She replied, “You should.”
The next day I did. I walked seven times around my house reading from my Bible the 23rd Psalm, declaring my name as I read the words in God’s word. Each time I went past my front door I placed a stone on the front step. It wasn’t long afterward that a severe storm occurred. Water was everywhere causing damage to all the homes in my neighborhood, except mine. I put my seven stones in a glass dish for all to see, as a reminder of God’s protection. It tells my story of praise to God!

Joshua 4 KJV
6 That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?
7 Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.
