It is not unusual for a bush to catch fire within a desert. It happens very often because of the intense heat and the dryness of the bush. What is unusual, and what caught Moses' eye, was the fact that the bush continued to burn without stopping. It was on fire - a raging fire. Another extremely unusual thing that Moses discovered was that this bush spoke to him and Moses spoke to it. The bush told him that the ground on which he was standing, was Holy Ground and he should take his sandals off. Perhaps if that was to happen to us, we may be questioning our sanity. However, Moses took it all in his stride. He had lots of time on his hands alone with his flock, so perhaps he was very much in tune with God. Let us look at this more closely.
Firstly, what Moses witnessed here was a Theophany. This is an appearance of God or a god - to a human being. In other words, a divine manifestation. The word Theo indicates God. The Angel of the LORD had appeared to Moses within the bush and began speaking to him. That in itself is an amazing thing to happen, but the burning bush was even more amazing. It demonstrated that God can become a burning fire that never goes out. A fire that we as Christians long to have within us - the Fire of God. Isn't this what you want to happen to you? To have the Fire of God - the everlasting Fire of God burning away within you? Well Moses came face to face with this fire and so can you.
Secondly, the Fire of God - the Angel of the LORD, told Moses to take his sandals off because he was standing on Holy Ground. Wherever God is, we are on Holy Ground and we and others that we meet will be affected by this. This may give the answer why we meet with so much hostility at times. Non-believers don't know what the feeling is, but satan does and he causes people to react badly towards it.
This opens further thoughts. Sickness has no right to stand on the Holy Ground that we are standing on. It does not belong there. We, as the People of God, are a Holy Priesthood - kings and priests unto God, so we are standing on Holy Ground. Sickness can not be allowed to approach us in any form. Philippians 2:9-11 says:
"Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in Heaven and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father."
Sickness has a name! Cancer has a name! Diabetes has a name! Heart disease has a name! Parkinson's disease has a name! MND has a name! And the Coronavirus has a name! Why are we so fearful? They are names and they have to bow to Jesus Christ Our Saviour. Why? Because we belong to Him and we are living on Holy Ground and the Coronavirus and all the other sicknesses have no right - absolutely no right, to try to stand on this land. How dare the sickness try to invade our lives.
Make a decision today that if you belong to Jesus, you are filled with the Fire of God, that you stand on Holy Ground and no sickness, not even a headache has the right to attack you. This is not a game. We either believe it or we don't. Yes there are things we cannot explain, but we are still standing on Holy Ground
It is a name and Jesus' Name is greater. So cast that sickness out in the Mighty Name of Jesus.
