When God Commands You to Stand Up and Move Forward

There comes a moment in every woman’s life when staying down is no longer an option. The weight of past failures, heartbreaks, rejections, and delays might have knocked you down—but the voice of God is louder.

“Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.”
— Isaiah 60:1 (NKJV)

This is not just a call to movement—it’s a command to destiny.

📖 Opening Scriptures:

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.”
— Isaiah 60:1 (NIV)

“Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel… And the Lord said to Joshua: ‘See! I have given Jericho into your hand…’”
— Joshua 6:1–2 (NKJV)

🔥 Introduction: What Do You See?

Have you ever stared at a wall so long that it began to feel permanent? Fear, shame, rejection, delay—these aren’t just emotions, they can become strongholds. But today, God is calling you to arise, not just physically, but spiritually.

What if I told you the wall that intimidates you is already defeated in the Spirit? Just like in Joshua 6, the command is simple: Get up in faith. Arise and shine. Your Jericho is about to fall!

🔸 When Lying Down Feels Safe, But God Says “Get Up”

Maybe you've been in a season of stillness, not by choice but by circumstance. You’ve been stuck in emotional fatigue, spiritual paralysis, or hidden battles nobody sees. And yet—God interrupts your cycle with a single word: “Arise.”

Just like He did with Joshua after Moses died (Joshua 1:2), God speaks to women today:

“Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go…”

Your past is no longer your excuse. That old relationship, the closed door, the missed opportunity—it’s over. But you are not over. You're alive because there’s still ground to take.✨ 1. God Speaks Before the Walls Fall

Before a single stone came loose from the walls of Jericho, God made a declaration:

“See! I have given Jericho into your hand.” — Joshua 6:2

The city was still fortified. The gates were locked. From the outside, nothing had changed—but God had already spoken victory.

Faith doesn’t wait for visible proof. Faith sees what God says.

👉 Women of faith, you must learn to agree with God’s voice, even when the wall is still standing.

✨ 2. Movement Precedes Miracles

The Israelites didn’t just sit around and wait for Jericho to fall—they marched in obedience. God gave them a strategy: walk around the wall, silently, for six days. Then on the seventh day, shout.

It was strange. It didn’t make logical sense. But obedience released the miracle.

“Faith without works is dead.” — James 2:17

God may be asking you to move again—pray again, write again, forgive again, apply again. Don’t let fear freeze your feet. Your breakthrough begins with simple obedience.

---

✨ 3. You Are a Carrier of Victory

Victory is not a place—it’s a person. And His name is Jesus. When you carry Him, you carry power.

“Christ in you, the hope of glory.” — Colossians 1:27

As a woman of God, you’re not fighting for victory; you’re fighting from victory. You are a daughter of the King. Heaven backs you. Hell fears you.

To arise means to step into your kingdom identity—to live like the warrior you already are.

---

🙏 Reflection Questions:

• What “walls” have you been staring at in fear?

• Where is God asking you to arise in faith this week?

• Can you declare victory before you see it?

Take a moment to write down your answers. Let your faith speak louder than your fear.

💖 Closing Word from Anuri Mabel:

Dear woman of God,
This is your moment.
Don't sit in defeat. Don’t rehearse the pain. Arise. Shout. March.
Your Jericho is not your ending—it’s your turning point.
And it’s about to fall.

“Woman of God, arise. Arise from fear. Arise from disappointment. Arise from silence. God is calling you into a place of power. This is your command, not a suggestion. The land is waiting. The wall is trembling. The shout is coming. But first—you must arise.”
