The Blessed Symbolism Of The Olive Branch

In the Holy Bible, we read of the magnificent history of our Blessed Master’s faithfulness and obedience to our most Holy Father and of our Lord’s fervency in prayer and supplications in His Earthly Ministry. In the blessed Book of Hebrews, Chapter five, verses seven through eight it is recorded our Eternal Savior offered up His prayers and supplications with strong tears. Surely, our Risen Lord’s most perfect Heart was filled with reverence for His Father. This is most marvelously recorded in the Scriptures for our encouragement and to teach us on how to offer prayers to our Holy Lord wherewith are Heard and invariably Answered.

In Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance, the word hiketéria is defined as “Supplication”. It is most interesting that the word usage for hiketéria is “the olive branch held in the hand of the suppliant” and another reference is defined as “earnest supplication for peace and relief”.

Therefore, we must be encouraged that it is in this blessed place of abiding in prayer wherefore when we humble ourselves before our Holy Father and offer our sacrifices of righteousness in supplications that we entereth into the Throne Room of God. Surely, it is seated in the Heavenly Places before our Holy One when His Merciful Heart Hearest us beg for healing while tightly holding onto the olive branch that we receiveth the anointing upon us for peace, and to deliver and heal us from the oppression of sickness and disease. Amen.
