FIRST THINGS FIRST
Pastor Debbie White
Before you can see victory in any of the battles you are faced with, you need to recognize and know that you are standing on holy ground. If Jesus is your Lord, His holiness surrounds you when you pray, and his holiness is always with you. You are standing on holy ground. There is nothing on this earth that compares to His holiness. First things first, recognize His holiness.
When Joshua was preparing his march around the walls of Jericho, an angel stood before him to tell him he was standing on holy ground. God would win the battle for Joshua, but first He wanted Joshua to acknowledge he was standing on holy ground.
When we are faced with battles, obstacles, trials, or tribulations, we should first stop and listen to the still small voice talking to us, telling us that we are standing on holy ground, for God is with us. He has already won the battle facing you. Take your focus off the battle, and put your focus on God being with you, and know that you are standing on holy ground. Know that God is with you when you pray, and even before you see the victory over your battles. Focus on God who has already won your battles, acknowledge that you are standing on holy ground.
Pray with me: Jesus help me to recognize your holiness as I face the trials and tribulations of life. Help me to be aware that I am standing on the holy ground of your presence. Help me to focus on You, and not the circumstances facing me. For I know that when I focus on You and put you first, then I will see the victory You have already provided.
