Joshua 6 (The Message)

(This is how I interpreted it)

1 Jericho (OUR LIVES & things that bother us spiritually) was shut up tight (no breakthroughs’ or blessings coming through) as a drum because of the People of Israel (Society as a whole): no one going in, no one coming out.
2-5 GOD spoke to Joshua (Pastor Mosa), "Look sharp now. I've already given Jericho to you, along with its king and its crack troops. Here's what you are to do: March around the city (Pray), all your soldiers (Us – the church at large). Circle the city once (come to church atleast once a day). Repeat this for six days (Prayer Week). Have seven priests carry seven ram's horn trumpets in front of the Chest (God will not come unless we seek Him with all that we have, so in a way Our Leaders have to walk before the place where God rests). On the seventh day march around the city seven times, the priests blowing away on the trumpets. And then, a long blast on the ram's horn—when you hear that, all the people are to shout at the top of their lungs. The city wall will collapse at once (situations in your life). All the people are to enter, every man straight on in." 6
8-9 And it happened. Joshua spoke, the people moved: Seven priests with their seven ram's horn trumpets set out before GOD ( DR EZEKIEL, PS SAM, PS CEBISA, PS KEKE…ETC ). They blew the trumpets, leading GOD's Chest of the Covenant. The armed guard marched ahead of the trumpet-blowing priests (The Elders; The Executive committees, Zone Pastors, Leaders in All Portfolios) the rear guard (Angels) was marching after the Chest, marching and blowing their trumpets.
10 Joshua had given orders to the people, "Don't shout. In fact, don't even speak—not so much as a whisper until you hear me say, 'Shout!'—then shout away!"
14 On the second day they again circled the city once and returned to camp. They did this six days.
15-17 When the seventh day came, they got up early and marched around the city this same way but seven times—yes, this day they circled the city seven times. On the seventh time around the priests blew the trumpets and Joshua signaled the people, "Shout!—GOD has given you the city! The city and everything in it is under a holy curse and offered up to GOD.
20 The priests blew the trumpets.
When the people heard the blast of the trumpets, they gave a thunderclap shout. The wall fell at once. The people rushed straight into the city and took it.
