June 27, 2023: We Are Your Expression In The Earth

"Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, "Behold, we are your bone and flesh." (2 Samuel 5:1, ESV)

Hebron comes from the Hebrew root word 'habar,' which means to join together or unite. Almost all references to the city of Hebron will reveal that it is a place of association, covenant-making, or deepening of relationships among people. Hebron represents the joining together of people.
    
With all the victories that David and Israel were experiencing through his leadership, Israel finally came to make David king. They met him at Hebron and spoke the very words Adam said, "We are your bone and flesh." In other words, "We are your expression in the earth!" David made a covenant with them at Hebron, and they anointed him king of Israel. This was a powerful joining together of a people to their king. The people took the prophetic word of the Lord in Hebron, and God brought it to pass.
    
We, too, have a King. His name is Jesus! When a man comes to Jesus, he enters into the covenant that the King initiated. When this happens, we become His bone and flesh, His expression in the earth! We live for Jesus! We live in such a way that when people see us, they see Jesus. Like Jesus, "If you have seen me, you have seen the Father." 
    
May you be reminded of the covenant you entered by faith, and may you be His expression to all who meet you.
