According to Matt .17:20 through faith even mountains can be removed. Hebron means this faith. Again Hebron was a place of refuge Joshua 21:10,11,27. What is the third meaning of Hebron? We have to bear the burden of those who are weak spiritually, when they fall or are in danger, traveling and persevering prayer, and lift them up by love and kindness.
Fourthly, Hebron stands for utter dependence on God. Many believers and servants of God suffer heavy losses because they do not know how to consult God for their plans. When David came to Hebron in 2 Samuel 2:1, he had become emptied, humble, and broken. In everything he enquired of God. ‘Shall I go up? Shall I go up? Where shall I go? When shall I go up? That is the fourth way of recovering every loss. Empty yourself of every self-confidence and find time to go to God for everything. Ask Him even how you should spend your money!
Similarly God must be consulted in every Church matter. At Hebron you learn that you must enquire from God, individually and collectively, concerning every action, every movement, saying: “what shall we do? Where shall we go? Again, as we have seen, many people do not know how to find God’s will concerning marriage.
This is how many believers are ruined, and have unhappy ruined homes, because they have never learned that lesson of how to enquire from the Lord. Even with David, it was only after many years of sufferings that he learned that lesson: ‘Lord, shall I go? Shall I go?

“Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt.” Col 4:6.
