Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho

During the Chicago Movement for Freedom (ca. 1965-1967), Mahalia Jackson joined her friend Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., when he was preaching a sermon about justice and equality at Church. Jackson, who is known as the "Queen of Gospel Music", sang the spiritual "Joshua Fit / Fought the Battle of Jericho".

Anyone who believes on Jesus Christ is saved forever, no matter what. Irrespective of who they are, what they have done, or ever will do. God paid for this sins of the entire world, before the world was ever created. Therefore, salvation is by grace through faith, in Jesus Christ.
1 John 5
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

    Look closely at Martin’s face. Almost instantly when he heard Mahalia’s voice, he started smiling. That’s the affect&conviction that her voice had&still to this very day how ironic in so many decades after her passing. Them folks was in there having some good CHUUUUCH ‼️The Legendary 1st Crowned Queen of The Gospel⛪️👑RIP🕊🌹

    The fact this has millions of views and that so many people want to fall asleep listening to God's word is absolutely heart warming and soul refilling. God bless each and everyone of you, in Jesus name, Amen 🙏

    This is one of my favorite Mahalia Jackson Performances, You Can see how Charmed Rev. King Was When he Recognized Her Voice before She came on stage, she had no mic & sang her heart out & lefted everyone's spirits. Dr. King was fit to fight the battle of Racial Equally & Justice for civil rights For All Mankind Just as Joshua was fit to fight the battle of Jericho. Hallelujah 🙏🙏 🙏🙏 Amen 🙏 🙏🙏 🙏🙏 🙏

    My grandmother loved Mahalia's voice. I think that is why she encouraged me to sing the Gospel. Thank you, grandma! What a good speech/sermon to hear on a Sunday evening.

    This the best thing I think I have ever seen. So much joy in that room, and such a hard battle they were fighting. I feel unworthy even watching this. The absolute joy on her face after she starts singing and could see Dr King smiling….her heart was just filled with the power of God.

    Dr. Martin Luther King's dream will come to pass. Peace and unity. Watch his dream speech. Hate, jealousy and biases must end. Sealed.
