When God Steps In
Many of us are praying for heavenly victories while refusing to move earthly obstacles. Today we’re looking at a stunning story in the Bible that reminds us that when God’s people step out in obedience, heaven joins the battle.
In Joshua 10 we see Joshua crying out to God for help, as five enemy Kings join together against them. God tells Josha, “Do not be afraid; I have given them into your hand.” This battle was won before anyone stood on a battlefield—but they still needed to move in action to see its fulfillment.
As Joshua and his men gather against their foes, God opens heaven and reigns down large stones on their adversaries. The Bible says more men died of the stones than from battle! This was the beginning of two supernatural interventions, and the best was still to come.
When Joshua saw the way the battle was going, and the victory that wasn’t yet in their reach, he prayed one of the most audacious prayers in the Bible, “Lord, let the sun stand still and don’t let time pass…” He prayed for time to stand still so the victory could be complete!
God stopped the sun while Joshua fought…
God gave the victory while Joshua believed in faith….
When we make room for God’s miracles, we allow heaven to do unusual and miraculous things. This is because the greatest victories are not won by human strength, but by people who have made room for God to fight for them.
