God’s Word is powerful! In the beginning, God spoke the earth into existence. Throughout the Bible, the power of His words healed the sick and performed miracles. And it is by His Word in the Scriptures that He continues to work and speak to His people today. The act of staking the borders of a property is not magical, nor is it a talisman or superstition. There is nothing special about a stake in itself, nor the person who is driving a stake into the ground. It is the act of marking the land with scripture that is a symbol of faithfulness and submission to God’s authority – a calling out to God to bless the land and rescue His people. It is a declaration that it was created by Him, still belongs to Him, and exists solely for His purposes today.
