BIBLE QUOTE
And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city. So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
Joshua 6:16, 20
Notice, Joshua told the people to "Shout; for the Lord hath given you the city." They hadn't yet taken the city. Faith, trust. Joshua had faith in God, and trusted Him to do as He had said he would. It didn't make sense - since when did anyone win a battle by walking around the city for a week? But God had said He would deliver the city into their hands, and Joshua trusted Him enough to not only do as He had said, but when it was time to shout, to tell the people to shout because God had already given them the city!
