The Perfect 7, Jesus, brings the Jericho walls down!
Welcome!
This blog is used to share some of our notes from each day’s journaling while we were in Bible study with The Holy Spirit. At the bottom of each blog page, you’ll see which Bible we used and additional resources that may have informed our thinking and learning. We are curious and humble #Biblenerds. Each day we GET TO use the Word of God to learn more about His never-changing character, how much Jesus loves us and how The Holy Spirit guides us through a heart transformation one verse at a time. The Bible reads us just as much as we read It.
We hope these perfectly imperfect notes help you as you join us weekday mornings 8:00 - 9:00 EST via Facebook & Youtube. And, of course, we welcome you whenever and wherever you get a chance to learn along with us!
In His Love,
Joy Lee & Tara Ouellette

“The perfect seven who has come to knock down the Jericho walls of our heart in order to SEEK & SAVE.”
Luke 18:35 & Joshua 6
Joshua 6 :
7th= day
7= times around
7= priests in front of ark
SEVEN= completion/
perfection
Afterwards— the walls of Jericho came down!
👉 Joshua tells spies to “LOOK”/ “SEEK”
the prostitute rahab & being her a family to a “safe” place.
—————————-
Luke 18-19
Jesus approaches Jericho
He remembered what it was like for Israelites - their FIRST city conquered after crossing over to promise land.
Luke 18:35-43
Jesus (who IS 7) “APPROACHES” Jericho. 👉He HEARD his cry & STOPPED to blind beggar & ordered man to be brought to Him.
Jesus “ENTERS” Jericho & SEES a corrupt chief tax collector in tree & STOPS & CALLS HIM BY NAME!
Jesus enters Jericho to lead others to the ULTIMATE PROMISE LAND!!!
👉(the Ostracized & sinner)
“The Son of Man came to SEEK & SAVE those who are lost.”
~ Luke 19:10
Seek = “attempt to find.”
Jesus is entering into your “city” with high bricks & thick walls around the heart.
His PERFECTION busts through your Jericho walls & His intention is fixed on one thing when He enters in…..
“Seek HER.
Rescue Her
Save HER.
Heal Her
Free her.”
