Elisha told Joash to shoot an arrow from his bow out the east window, and when he did, Elisha called it the “Arrow of The LORD’s Victory.”

Then he directed the king to take more arrows and strike the ground. The king struck the ground only three times; his half-hearted response upset the prophet and he said,

“You should have struck the ground five or six times; then you would have defeated Aram and completely destroyed it. But now you will defeat it only three times” (2 Kings 13:19b).

I find it interesting that the “Arrow of The LORD’s Victory” goes forth through the air first, creating the means for a complete victory.

The king is then asked to strike the ground with more arrows, but he falls short of a response that would bring about that completion.

I believe that just as we see in this story, The LORD goes before us and creates a victory in the spirit realm — He opens the way into what we cannot see — but then we, as kings and priests in His family, must partner with the victory that He has accomplished by striking the ground here on Earth.

Our strikes must match what is necessary to completely destroy the works of our enemy. Yet so often we stop short, and though we have victories, we do not see the complete destruction of the plans of the enemy.

We are marching forth marching out of prisons that have held many individuals captive for years. What you thought was your “life sentences” are being reversed! God’s arrow of victory has been shot and now we must strike the ground and not stop short of full victory.

We strike the ground for the evil that has been done in the sight of God in our personal lives, in The Church, and in the land. We will strike the ground.

All day I have heard the sound of boots to the ground. They are striking the ground in unison.

We will strike this ground for our sons and daughters.

We will strike this ground for the broken, the captives of addiction, the ones that need that rope of hope thrown their way.

We will strike the ground for the unborn in the womb and the unborn in the spirit!

The Arrow of The LORD’s Victory has flown with power, and now is the time to strike the ground that brings forth change!
