This morning I read Joshua 10:24-25:
When they had brought these kings to Joshua, he summoned all the men of Israel and said to the army commanders who had come with him, ‘Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings.’ So they came forward and placed their feet on their necks. Joshua said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Be strong and courageous. This is what the Lord will do to all the enemies you are going to fight.’”
Joshua used the word “near.” In Hebrew the word is “najosh.” One meaning of the word is “to approach the Holy of Holies.” It also means “leave your gods who cannot save you and approach God or draw near to the Holy of Holies.”
This was a command-”put your feet on the necks of these kings”-not a request. Another meaning of the word is “to offer or present.” When you approach the Lord in worship, you must have a soft heart, responsive to the Spirit One that has moved from hardness to tenderness. Draw near to the Lord with a tender heart; He is the lover of your soul. Get into that place of high praise, the place of anointing where the glory of the Lord is, where the sick are healed and the captives set free.
When you draw near to Him, you are putting your feet on the Enemy’s neck.
Najosh!
