In today's Bible reading, the children of Israel were close to the promised land, but a mighty wall stood in their way.Joshua knew that their progress would be affected by the wall, and God gave him the strategy to bring the wall down and lead His people into what He had prepared for them.

If you have not identified what is stopping your progress, you may be fighting the wrong battles while the actual enemy remains unchallenged.
In many cases, the forces of darkness are the wall of Jericho that hinders the progress of people since the devil's only job is to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10).

If you notice that something bigger than you is blocking your way when you are about to succeed in an endeavour, you need to pray against that force. The good news is, Isaiah 54:17 says:
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
Beloved, if you are a child of God and you're serving Him diligently, you have the legal right to condemn whatever forces that may arise against you.

Some of these evil forces are stubborn and will not stop if you tell them to go just once. Hence, you need to pray and fast persistently before they go.
Jesus said in Mark 9:29 that some demons cannot be overcome except by prayer and fasting.
If you have done all these and you still cannot see any change, you probably need to find someone who can join you in prayers so you can engage the prayer of agreement.
Deuteronomy 32:30 says:
How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
You can also ask a minister of God with higher authority to pray for you. After taking these steps, there is no force that can stand in your way.
