HOLY GROUND! Painting by Anne Reid
We have entered a season where the path God has prepared before us is holy ground. Those who choose to continue on the journey with the Lord in this new season ahead are presently being consecrated and set apart as holy ground unto the Lord. I heard the Lord say that vessels are being marked, that He is marking those who have chosen the Fire of His Presence over the things of this world. He is moving across the earth and marking Saints who said have said yes to full consecration—He is marking them as Holy ground!
The Lord’s eyes are on the churches that put Him first, where He is acknowledged as Lord in word and deed. He is marking these churches as holy ground. Ministries called forth to serve him with key assignments for this era are being marked as holy ground. The Lord is rising up in His temple; the train of his robe is filling His temple, where all cry, holy holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty.
God is presently finishing the final stages of a work in His people; a deep, washing, cleansing, and refining of their hearts. He is removing all the mixture and preparing a people to be fashioned into the platform upon which He will stand to rule and reign in this hour.
The Body of Christ is about to experience a mighty infilling of the Spirit. Holy Spirit is brooding and hovering over people, churches, and ministries. This is a convicting work leading to repentance, the preparation for a great Wind that is about to blow over our nations. The Holy Spirit is God and He is Holy! It is important to give Him His place in our lives and our churches now. The preparations are for this Move, as He is coming in the Spirit of the fear of the Lord. In His mercy and His love for us, He is working to remove the mixture that would cause us harm.
“Then He said, “Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.” Exodus 3:5
The Lord is cleansing us for this new Holy path we will walk with Him. Doors are closing and doors are being formed before us. We are now embarking on a journey by a way we have not walked before, into a realm where eye has not seen, nor ear heard what God has prepared ahead—a move staggering in its scope and power—an outpouring of fire and rain.
Becoming the Evidence of His Lordship!
According to Matthew 24:20, the gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony. The word testimony also means to give evidence. The evidence of the Lordship of Christ is to be established in nations, communities, and homes. The Ecclesia stand as God’s ambassadors of Christ on Earth. They are now being released to reveal the evidence of Jesus’ Lordship, by His Presence and Power, in and through them. A people will become the tangible expression of this truth. These will become safe places of refuge from the storms.
How do we establish the evidence of His Lordship? We first build the altar of His Lordship—an altar of praise, worship, and adoration! In doing this, His Throne then becomes secured in our midst. The Presence manifests and becomes evident. The Presence becomes secured. A portal is opened. Angels ascend and descend. Saints become activated in their call and destiny. Assignments are given. We come into spiritual fellowship with the Lord, His Lordship, His dominion, and His authority.
As Jesus began His ministry when he was thirty years old, a body of people are being prepared to go as He did. It is time to begin the work of the Ministry of Christ in union with His heart, mind, and Presence. A Ministry of miracles, signs, and wonders is about to begin, as at the beginning. Under the occupation of Roman persecution, the disciples were trained, mobilized, and released to minister in power. So are we being released to now represent the Ministry of Christ in this time of global persecution. The matter of spiritual position with the Lord, and dominion over the enemy and his power, is by our union with Him through living a crucified life and becoming a living sacrifice for His intentions. These are people who like Moses hunger for the Presence of the Lord. This Holy Ground to Him!
“I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.”
And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Exodus 33:13-14
