The Hebron Concept
Today’s Focus:
Introduction
Scripture: Acts 2:1
Greetings Sons of
God:
Now as you look at
the title, one may ask, what in the world are we going to talk about now? Well if you have been following us over the
past year or so, you know this will be a vital concept to the maturity of the House
of God and advancement of the Kingdom.
One of the beautiful things the Lord did and is still doing is that when
the Lord names a place or gives names, that name carries an eternal
meaning.
The word Hebron
means “Place of Joining or to unite, to associate, place of alliance, place of
coming together of people to a corporate unity”. When you study the journey of the children of
Israel to Jerusalem you must know and understand before they could get to
Jerusalem or Zion, they must come to this place called Hebron. Hebron is one of the most important places or
in the spirit, positions we must come into because at Hebron there is a high
premium put on the relationships between people. Before the church was empowered in Acts 2,
the apostles were in a Hebron position and let me show you.
Acts 2:1: And when
the day of Pentecost was fully come, THEY WERE ALL WITH ONE ACCORD IN ONE
PLACE.
To be on one accord
is to have the same mind but be also united in the spirit in a certain way that
all people “joined together” within that place have the same mind and that mind
is the mind of Christ.
As we study in this
series you will see that Hebron is a very powerful place and position in
Scripture and for the Body of Christ.
Let me just say that these alliances that must be formed cannot be
formed along denominational lines or the lines based upon man’s interpretation
of Scripture. These alliances can only
be formed by the Spirit.
Now this is vital
to say, before we come to Hebron certain things must happen. We will discuss these things a little later
because we will not enter Hebron in the state that we are in currently in. Few reach this position because they
understand the importance of relationships and understand how the Father
desires to be in covenant relationships with His sons. You cannot reach the Hebron position carrying
your denominational biases. These biases
only fracture and split the Body along man’s interpretation of the Word. Hebron is a place of uniting and joining, not
a place of splitting and dividing.
In the upcoming messages
we will study this place called Hebron and learn the importance of putting the
highest value on people. God did not
come to die for animals and plants. He
came to die for people. In this season
we must put the highest premium on people, even if they are the worst in the
Earth we are still commanded to love. So
let’s get started and we will start in the next message with Abraham.
Peace, Love and
Grace from the Father,
Calvin Calhoun, Jr.
