On Holy Ground

Hallow means to respect greatly!

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 6:

9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your Name. 10 Your Kingdom come. Your Will be done On earth as it is in Heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.

13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

We are to pray that HIS Kingdom realm be manifested on earth and HIS every purpose be fulfilled here.  HIS Divine Intent is to be manifested through His saints throughout the entire earth, taking down all strongholds of resistance.  The metaphor of the Promised Land declares this Truth.

THE LORD spoke and it is recorded in Joshua chapter 1:

6 Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.

7 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the Law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left (do not deviate), that you may prosper wherever you go.

8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in It day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

The name Joshua means Yahweh is salvation.  Joshua represents the Lion of Judah who is tasked with taking down the strongholds of the enemy who were occupying the Promised Land.  Joshua and Caleb represent the overcomers.

What happened when Joshua began his conquest of the Promised Land?

It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in Joshua chapter 5:

13 When Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw standing in front of him a Man holding a drawn sword. Joshua approached him and said, “Are You on our side or on our enemies’?”

14 “Neither,” he replied. “I have not come to take sides but to take charge. I am the Commander of YAHWEH’s armies.” At once, Joshua threw himself facedown to the ground and worshiped, and he said to Him, “I will do whatever you command, My Lord.”

15 The Commander of YAHWEH’s armies said to Joshua, “Remove your sandals, for you are standing on Holy ground!” And Joshua obeyed.

Joshua had been the apprentice to Moses and knew how to respond to the Presence of GOD.  When a Divine Moment occurs, don’t be surprised if you end up on your face!  Joshua experienced the Fear of THE LORD.

In chapter 6:

 1 Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in.

2 And the LORD said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.

Joshua was directed to act according to what THE LORD instructed.  It made no sense from a human standpoint.  Joshua obeyed in order to bring forth the Supernatural.  Walking in obedience to THE LORD is the key to conquering the enemy inhabiting the Promised Land.

When you and I are fully led by The Holy Spirit, we will be equipped for every good work.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Timothy chapter 3:

13 But the evil men and sorcerers will progress from bad to worse, deceived and deceiving, as they lead people further from the Truth.

14 Yet you must continue to advance in strength with the Truth wrapped around your heart, being assured by God that He’s the One Who has Truly taught you all these things.

15 Remember what you were taught from your childhood from the Holy Scrolls which can impart to you Wisdom to experience everlasting Life through the faith of Jesus, the Anointed One!

16 God has transmitted His very substance into every Scripture, for it is God-breathed. It will empower you by its instruction and correction, giving you the strength to take the right direction and lead you deeper into the path of Godliness. 17 Then you will be God’s servant, fully mature and perfectly prepared to fulfill any assignment God gives you.

We are called to overcome the increasing deception by overcoming the world with the Word of Truth, walking in supernatural power and authority given to us by Our Lord Jesus Christ.  We will walk with the deepest respect and Holy Awe of GOD.  Hallowed be HIS NAME!
