Do this for six days. 4 Have seven priests cary trumpets of rams’ homs in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. § When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have all the people give a loud shout; then-the wall ofthe city-wil.coliapse-and the people-wil:go-up; every man— straight in.” (Joshua 6:1-5) Jericho was once thought to be a ‘Bible problem’ because of the seeming disagreement between archaeology and the Bible. When the archaeology is corectly interpreted, however, just the opposite i the case. The archaeological evidence supports the historical accuracy of the biblical account in every detail. Every aspect of the story that could possibly be verified by the findings of ‘archaeology is, in fact, verified. The Biblical record is sound, factual, and reports history as it happened. ‘Archaeological digs atthe site of the ancient city of Jericho show that the {ground wos inhabited for thousands of years.

KEYS TO OVERCOMING FEAR IN WITNESSING John 7:10-13 - Our should be a witness, a ving witness, a testimony which, ‘draws others...but we haven't completsly been a wiiness unfilwe open our mouth and speak. That ishard, but necessory—sharing the words of the gospel Romans 10:14 "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not ‘believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? ‘And how shal they hear without a preacher?” Asurvey was given to those attending training sessions for a Bly Graham crusade in Detroit. One question was asked, “What fs your greatest hindrance fo ‘witnessing?" None sid they didn really car. Nine percent scid they were too busy fo remember to do i. Twenty-eight percent felt the lack of real information to share. Twelve percent said their own lives were not speaking as they should. But, by far, the largest group was the 51 percent whose biggest problem was the fear of how the other person would react! This's hard because of fear—itis a realistic fear, itis difficull. Fear of rejection/emborrassment/being labeled os fanatic/!hough! cl cifferentiy/not liked anymore.

A young lady recognized him and tried to point him out, and. he denied three fimes, with curse words for emphasis! Buliin Acts 4:13, the Bible says Peter spoke boldly—what made the ifference by ‘Acts 42 What happened? ‘Acts 2 happened! He became filed with the Spirit! “How can I be filed?" Not complicated, mmINTENSIFIED PASTORS’ TRAINING INTHE G12 VISION Different than being indwetled, being filed means being controled.

Don't be ahald of making mistakes. The biggest mitake is not fo try or saying nothing. God wil sill use your witness even if you make a mistake.
