THE JERICHO MARCH REVELATION
The Prophetic revelation of the Jericho March came in the middle of a personal Jericho wall
Not all spiritual warfare are the same.
And not all demonic confrontations answer to general prayer.
I experienced this first hand while facing a confrontation that would not bow despite all manner of prayer. I fasted and prayed as Jesus revealed in Mark 9:14-29 and Matthew 17:21.that some "kind goeth not except with prayer and fasting," yet no victory.

Then, God opened my eyes to the Jericho March as a KIND of spiritual warfare for a specific battle.
We all have battles and wars, but recognizing that certain battles are not just mere warfare is the first step to victory. This is why you need to prepare before you engage in Jericho March Warfare.
ARE YOU FACING A JERICHO-STYLE BATTLE?
ARE YOU FACING ANY OF THESE...
-
A long-standing addiction or secret habit
-
A health situation that remains a persistent matter of warfare battle
-
A financial cycle that repeatedly resists breakthrough
-
A family pattern or generational bondage that keeps repeating
-
A relationship that is under sustained attack
-
A recurring pattern of sickness or affliction in the family
-
Heavy spiritual oppression, confusion, or resistance
-
A stubborn obstruction standing between you and something you believe God has already given you, but has not yet manifested
YOU MAY BE FACING A JERICHO-STYLE BATTLE
A Jericho-style battle is not a lightweight spiritual confrontation. Stubborn walls and strongholds do not always yield to ordinary approaches. Some require a specific kind of warfare.
You may already have done everything you know to do.
You have prayed. You have fasted. You have sought counsel. You have changed strategies.
You have moved from church to church, from pastor to pastor, from one prayer mountain to another. Yet the wall remains. Begin the Jericho March Journey by getting the Get Your Free Jericho March Preparation Guide
Before Every Battle, There is Preparation
Many simply want to confront the enemy or bring down the obstacle before them without first doing the first things first. Wars are not won by just the will to fight or desire to bring down the enemy. Preparation is an important part of victory in warfare.
The 7-day Spiritual warfare exercise does not begin with a march, it begins with preparation.
Israel marched for seven days but they prepard for several months. Before Jesus had a one day encounter with Satan in the wilderness, He prepared for forty days and forty nights in fasting and prayer.
Your journey to the 7-day spiritual warfare prayer exercise begins with spiritual preparation (Ephesians 6:10-17).

Why The Jericho March?
Some walls do not fall except for a specific kind of prayer.
In the Gospels, the disciples faced a type of deliverance of casting out a demon in a boy. They failed despite several attempts. These were men who had prayed before. They had cast out demons before. They were not strangers to spiritual authority.
Yet this particular confrontation resisted what had worked in other situations. It seemed to mock their anointing and embarrass them publicly. When Jesus came, He delivered the boy and revealed a spiritual truth:
“And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.” (Mark 9:29, Matthew 17:21).
The important words in that verse are: “This kind.”
Many have interpreted Jesus' words about "prayer and fasting" to mean that it is the key to every deliverance. That is true in part. But knowing that you should pray and fast is one thing. Knowing the kind of prayer and fasting required for a particular confrontation is another.
Isaiah 58 reveals the same principle from another direction. Israel had fasted. They had afflicted their souls, yet nothing happened. They even "accused" God of not honoring the prayer and fasting He commanded which they obeyed diligently. They said:
“Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge?” (Isaiah 58:3)
When God revealed the kind of fast He chose for that situation in Isaiah 58 from verse 6. It was totally different. They indeed fasted, but not the kind of fast God had chosen.
The issue was not that they did not pray or fast, but as James reveals that believers can "pray amiss," it is evidenced that believers can also fast "amiss."
Paul likewise acknowledged this when he said in Romans 8:26: “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought...”
This is one of the principles behind the Jericho March.
Many believers have sincerely prayed and fasted concerning stubborn situations, yet they remain. Sometimes the answer is not simply more of the same prayer but to discern specific kind of spiritual warfare prayer. It might just be a Jericho March.
Pastoral Note
The Jericho March is a spiritual warfare exercise undertaken by faith. The outcome and timing will not necessarily be the same for every participant.
Some victories may become visible immediately. Others may begin as clarity, conviction, healing, endurance, restoration, a practical decision, an opened door, or a process that continues beyond the seventh day.
If you are under medical care, experiencing an acute mental health crisis, or walking through severe trauma, undertake this journey alongside appropriate medical, mental health, pastoral, or professional support, not as a replacement for it.
Frequently Asked Question
Q: Do I have to fast from food?
Not necessarily. Many choose to fast from specific foods, but others fast from social media, entertainment, or a particular habit. The devotional will help you seek the Lord about what kind of consecration is wise and safe in your situation. If you have any health condition, please speak with your doctor before fasting from food.
Q: What if I miss a day?Do not begin until you are prepared to complete the seven days uninterrupted. If an unavoidable interruption occurs, the Workbook should explain how to proceed.
Q: Can we do this as a group or church?
Yes. Many people find it helpful to journey together, while still each naming their own Jericho. You are free to use this as a guide for small groups, couples, or prayer teams.
Q: Is this only for Christians?
This journey is rooted completely in Scripture and in the finished work of Jesus Christ. It is written for those who have trusted Him as Lord and Savior. If you are exploring faith and are not sure where you stand, this may still stir your heart, but I would encourage you to first settle the question of following Christ Himself.
Q: What if nothing seems to change after seven days?
There are times when God works quietly and below the surface. The absence of immediate visible change does not mean nothing happened. If you walk this journey in sincerity, you can trust that the Lord has heard you and will lead you into next steps. Sometimes He may invite you to repeat the march, seek counsel, or make practical decisions that align with what He showed you.
