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.

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 🙏

[@blenaris1]

God bless you as well 🙏

[@SonOfSoulEnt]

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🕊🌹

[@Alexp36500]

It's also the song she chose to sing. She's basically saying "God chose him to lead his people into freedom" she's giving him her blessing basically. Well lead the people of the church to freedom... everyone else gets thrown out.

[@victorburroughs912]

I thought it was just me saw his face when she start singing. Amazing 👏 Man and lady of God.

[@blenaris1]

That was his girl. He felt so confident when she would sing.

[@j.sabien1903]

I can feel the presence of God on both of them

[@mariahlehoko993]

I just wanna thank the cameraman for capturing this beautiful moment😭can’t imagine the feeling of being in that room

[@Bobby-fc8pf]

This video always gives me Goosebumps. MLK and Mahalia look so happy. Legends from God💯

[@alecb3332]

That's the joy of our Lord, my brother.

[@latoyaboyd3754]

How nervously this man looked to do gods work yet he found the will and bravery for the cause he chose to fight and having god on his side help him over come his fear and mahalia great voice.

[@johnhagans2190]

The smile, I am fighting years of oppression, privilege & indifference but your voice and inspiration are my strength.

[@simplycarlton5582]

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 🙏 🙏🙏 🙏🙏 🙏

[@smilaugh]

I feel so bad in my heart, 😭. White supremacists and racists made Luther King life a hell on earth, every day was a struggle. A struggle just to put across what is obvious and right, that all men are created equal and should be treated equal. Just that, and they made him a kill target, made him an enemy. Don't we know we are children of same God, color variations are just a way of beauty in His garden of flowers. God, forgive humanity.

[@djp6140]

Once in a lifetime talent!!!...R.I.H Mahalia & Martin. They're with God seeing all the beauty and love in Heaven.

[@SuperGuanine]

😅😂😍😇

[@marybrewer2203]

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.

[@JaySmith-mz7vg]

Do y'all see how far that mic is from her mouth & she is STILL SANGING DOWN & booming over the claps & choir.

[@c1nnamon11]

What a supernatural moment to witness. Her anointing was astounding. I could only imagine how Holy Spirit moved through there.

[@cameronbrownlee308]

I absolutely love this and I always shed tears listening to it idk why but I feel we all should LISTEN

[@kendrasmith8087]

What a wonderful support this queen was for Dr. King❤❤❤. God has perfect time. Dr. King was comforted by her wonderful voice. Phenomenal ❤❤❤

[@Polosportsman44]

His smile, never gets old...EVER...RIP Doc 🙏🏾

[@johntatum1951]

Mahalia had the gift for sure...and Dr King felt it ...a great start for his sermon...thanks for sharing this special moment...love this happy time for all peoples. Praise the Lord! He spoke against all kinds of bigotry...such a wonderful preacher man.

[@cliffstewart823]

The perfect song for the civil rights movement, thanks queen Mahalia! Martin gave his life fighting the Battle of Jericho.

[@J.Dove3D]

[@robcarpenter1225]

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.

[@chrisjohnson7039]

Martin’s smile always inspired others to do God’s work✝️💜😁

[@tiffanicrayon7027]

My Great grandmother as well as my grandmother use to sing this song and they use to also say “fit” the battle of Jericho but it’s actually “fought” the battle.

[@louiswoodard9396]

His face was priceless

[@georgevigil7210]

You can feel the manifestation of the Holly Ghost, when you hear both Mahalia Jackson and Dr. Martin Luther King.

[@erickaivory7996]

My grandma always played Miss Mahalia’s tapes when I was growing up. She played them so much that I taught myself how to sing like her when I was little. Lol!!! Watching this video bought back many memories of my grandmother. 💙🩵🥺

King don’t belong in the presence of god for selling out his people. Which explains why he looks uncomfortable.
