Holy Ground
There’s some artistic license in this dramatic picture, yet it nevertheless conveys the drama, the amazing spectacle, of Moses coming across a bush burning, yet not burning away, in the middle of a fairly desolate place.
God has a way of catching our attention. He told Moses to remove his shoes as he was now on holy ground, in a holy place.
Why?
Because the Spirit of God was manifesting on that bush!
I wonder how many times we have stood on holy ground without removing our shoes?
What is holy ground anyway?
Isn’t a place that we designate as God/’s House holy ground?
Why don’t we treat it as such?
Probably because in so many Houses of God, God doesn’t actually live there, abide there, dwell there, or even visit there very often!
How sad is that?
How about this weekend, any weekend, we honour Gods presence in our meetings with a Prophetic Act.
As The Holy Spirit leads us, remove your shoes and worship Him barefoot. Perhaps shake the dust of the world off our feet too!
It will be a humbling, solemn, yet joyful moment to welcome and meet with The LORD in His own house.
I believe The LORD will honour our humility when we do this.
Do it expectantly!

All things are ‘bare’ in His manifest presence – God doesn’t say remove the robe Moses, but remove the shoes – Remove the memory of where you’ve been – I AM will order your steps – walk in the Spirit – for the heart/s proper position in Me precedes prophetic ACTion and often parallels prophetic act/s. God is Holy.
“Remove the memory of where you’ve been”!
What a great evaluation, thank you. I’d not thought of it that way, but it’s resonates.
Thank you,
God bless you

Amen. It definitely resonates w/me. Isn’t that how Holy Spirit reveals…speaks ? On a personal level to us?
Much can be said of the symbolism and significance of ‘shoes’ in scripture – Joshua 5:15, Ruth…interesting study in contrast of Ex. 3: w/Angel of the Lord KJV and God Himself Ex. 19 KJV w/Moses on Mt. Sinai and no command to remove shoes….but that was my ‘take away’.
You’re a blessing man of God.
Thank you and God bless you.
