📜 Scroll of Praise and Worship from Joshua
I. Prelude: The God of Victory and Promise
Joshua marks the divine fulfillment of God’s promises — the crossing into the Promised Land, the conquest of enemies, and the establishment of God’s covenant people.
We stand now in awe of the LORD our Banner, the Commander of Hosts, whose faithfulness never fails.
II. Praise to Jehovah Nissi — The LORD Our Banner
“And Joshua built an altar to the LORD, the God of Israel… and called the name of it, The LORD is my Banner” (Joshua 8:30-35).
You are the LORD who goes before us,
The Mighty Warrior who fights our battles (Joshua 5:13-15).
You are our Banner lifted high,
The God of victory and salvation.
By Your hand the walls of Jericho fell (Joshua 6:20),
And by Your word the land was divided in justice (Joshua 13-21).
We exalt You, O LORD,
Who fulfills Your promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Joshua 21:45).
Faithful and true, forever worthy of our praise.
III. Worship to the Commander of the LORD’s Army
Before the battle, You revealed Yourself to Joshua as the Commander of the LORD’s Army (Joshua 5:13-15),
Holy and majestic, clothed in heavenly armor.
You teach us to be strong and courageous (Joshua 1:6-9),
For Your presence is our power and protection.
You divide the waters of the Jordan before us (Joshua 3:14-17),
Make dry ground in the midst of storms,
And lead us into new beginnings by Your mighty hand.
We worship You, God of holy war,
Who fights not with sword or spear,
But with Your sovereign will and unstoppable might.
IV. The God Who Establishes Justice and Peace
You are the righteous Judge who apportions land and sets boundaries (Joshua 13-21),
The God who commands justice and equity among Your people.
Your covenant remains sure and steadfast (Joshua 24:15),
Calling us to choose whom we will serve.
You are our refuge and strength,
The God who blesses peace and obedience (Joshua 24:29-31).
With reverence, we praise You,
The God of order, covenant, and enduring faithfulness.
V. Ascending in Worship: The Ever Faithful God
Holy LORD God Almighty,
We declare Your name and praise Your wondrous deeds.
You are the God of miracles, wonders, and fulfilled promises.
You are our Banner, our Shield, and our Salvation.
May our hearts be steadfast in You,
May we walk in Your ways with courage and faith.
We lift You high above all gods and powers,
Exalting You alone — the LORD God of Israel, forevermore.
Expanded & Deepened Prayer from Joshua
O Jehovah Nissi,
Our Banner, our Victory, our God,
We come before Your throne in humility and awe.
You who led Joshua and Israel into the Promised Land,
Who parted the Jordan and brought down Jericho’s walls,
You are the God who makes a way where there is no way.
Strengthen our hearts to be strong and courageous,
To trust Your presence and promises in every battle we face.
Let Your holy army go before us,
And Your righteous justice establish peace in our lives and lands.
Faithful God,
Help us to choose You daily,
To serve You with all our hearts,
To honor Your covenant and walk in Your statutes.
May our lives be a living altar,
A testimony of Your faithfulness and power.
We exalt You, LORD of Hosts,
Our Banner, our Deliverer, our King.
To You alone be all glory, honor, and praise,
Now and forevermore.
Amen.
Expanded, Deepened Prayer from the Book of Joshua
O Jehovah Nissi, LORD Our Banner, Mighty Warrior of Israel,
You who commanded Joshua to be strong and courageous,
Whose presence turned fear into victory,
We come boldly before Your throne, armed with the testimony of Your faithfulness.
You who revealed Yourself to Joshua as the Commander of the LORD’s Army,
Clothed in heavenly splendor, with sword drawn and authority supreme,
We acknowledge You as the Captain of our salvation,
The One who leads us to triumph over every enemy of our soul and land.
By Your Spirit, You divided the Jordan before Your people,
Making a way where there was no way —
We ask now for Your miraculous power to divide the floods in our lives,
Breaking every barrier that blocks our inheritance,
Parting the waters of despair, doubt, and bondage.
You brought down the walls of Jericho by the sound of Your trumpet and the shout of faith,
Defeating strongholds that no human could overthrow.
We declare the walls of oppression, sickness, and spiritual blindness crumble now,
In the Name of the LORD who commands legions of angels and heavenly hosts.
LORD, You are our refuge and strength, our shield and fortress.
As You commanded Joshua to march around Jericho in obedience,
We choose to walk faithfully in Your statutes and decrees,
Knowing that victory belongs to those who trust You and obey Your voice.
Deliver us from every enemy that rises against us —
From fear, from division, from deception, from the fiery darts of the evil one.
By the power of Your Word, we cast down every stronghold in our minds and spirits (2 Cor 10:4-5),
Cleansing our hearts as You commanded Israel to consecrate themselves (Joshua 3:5).
Sanctify us, O LORD, as You sanctified the people before crossing Jordan.
Set us apart for Your purposes,
Fill us with the courage of Joshua,
The boldness of the faithful, the holiness of Your covenant people.
We pray for healing — physical, emotional, and spiritual —
That Your healing hand would rest upon us as You brought life and provision through manna and water from the rock.
Restore what has been broken,
Make us whole in Your presence,
Renew our strength as the eagle’s (Deut 32:11).
Father, You are the God of promise, the Keeper of covenant.
You divided the land among the tribes, establishing Your order and blessing.
We ask You to establish Your peace and justice in our homes, communities, and nations.
Raise up righteous leaders, warriors of faith, who will follow Your Word and honor Your Name.
May our lives be living altars, holy and acceptable to You.
May the fire of Your Spirit consume every impure thing,
And Your glory fill us until we overflow with praise and testimony.
We declare now the Name above every name — Jesus Christ, LORD of Hosts,
Jehovah Nissi, our Banner and our Deliverer.
To You belongs the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever and ever.
In the victorious Name of Jesus, we pray and decree, Amen.
