INTRO: This is not the world of God’s Very Good Creation. This is corrupted Creation …including humanity. [Story of going into a gravel pit and climbing into heavy equipment left there by the owner each day.] Humanity trespasses on God’s Kingdom Creation active Design, temporarily under Satan.
BENEFIT STATEMENT: We are Designed and then Created to become WELCOMED as Inheritors OF and Being IN the Kingdom of the Creator of ALL things.
We are to learn to not steal, corrupt, and trespass on God’s Creation, His Kingdom as Originally Designed and Physically Created “Good”.
SPS: We make a mistake in living while considering we are fine with God as we “trespass” on HIS Creation. His Grace allows us to do so, but really in eternity …there is “No Trespassing”.
BODY: We may be legally considered, trespassing on God’s Creation, even Criminally trespassing.
- Trespass – A deviation from uprightness and Truth (misdirected behavior due to distracted priorities) FROM what is REALLY happening.
This is really not about self-guided individual worth, but about being guided by the world’s god or the True God of our Creation. Cut our world-lifeline of trespasser priorities, and be of God’s Kingdom NOW!
Romans 6:16-18 (NKJV) 16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. 18 And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
Our Design by our Creator is to NOT trespass on the Owner’s Property. But the Owner of Creation allows for our ignorant trespassing, in order to GIVE opportunity to LEARN our TRUE State. With the potentiality OF the Owner of the Property, God’s Coming Kingdom.
Leviticus 25:23 (NKJV) 23 'The land shall not be sold permanently, for the land is Mine; for you are strangers and sojourners with Me.
Hebrews 11:13-16 (NKJV) 13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14 For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. 15 And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.
Ephesians 2:19 (NKJV) 19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,
Philippians 3:20 (NKJV) 20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
To become heirs and therefore inheritors of the Creation with and by and IN the OWNER as His Family is to CHOOSE to cease self-willed priority trespassing on the Owner’s Creation. we THINK we own.
- This is accomplished by the Owner enabling and accepting OUR Choice to desire LIFE with HIM instead of trespassing on His Creation (and corrupting it).
God has allowed mankind to have their way (within limits) in order to show the alternative & original Design capabilities compared to self-will. Enabled to Choose Sharing Creation or Nothingness …
Hebrews 1:1-3 (NKJV) 1 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
Deuteronomy 30:15-20 (NKJV) 15 "See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, 16 in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the LORD your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. 17 But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them, 18 I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess. 19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; 20 that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them."
- Trespassing in the temple – expecting God to honor what sinners have done while ignoring Him in the midst of corruption. It will be foolish and corrected …as God enables us to “See” Him …not OUR distorted, self-willed view of Him …but HIM in singular Love, Grace, Mercy, and as Righteous God-Life support and Growth.
Mark 11:17-18 (NKJV) 17 Then He taught, saying to them, "Is it not written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations'? But you have made it a 'den of thieves.' " 18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it and sought how they might destroy Him; for they feared Him, because all the people were astonished at His teaching.
Isaiah 56:7 (NKJV) 7 Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices Will be accepted on My altar; For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations."
Jeremiah 7:8-11 (NKJV) 8 "Behold, you trust in lying words that cannot profit. 9 Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you do not know, 10 and then come and stand before Me in this house which is called by My name, and say, 'We are delivered to do all these abominations'? 11 Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of thieves in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it," says the LORD.CONCLUSION: What someone IS, is shown in HOW they react to the corruption of trespassing on God’s Creation as FIRST Priority. Are they visionary, or self-justifying trespassers? God changes our status to “Owners”
Exodus 6:6-8 (NKJV) 6 Therefore say to the children of Israel: 'I am the LORD; I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. 7 I will take you as My people, and I will be your God. Then you shall know that I am the LORD your God who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 8 And I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you as a heritage: I am the LORD.' "
- Trespass – A deviation from uprightness and Truth
- The Owner enables and accepts OUR Choice of LIFE with HIM instead of trespassing on His Creation.
- God enables us to “See” Him …not OUR distorted, self-willed trespassing view of Him
CLOSE: To BE and ACT IN God’s Life Standards is to become an heir and co-owner, not a trespasser anymore!
(1 Corinthians 15:50 (NKJV) 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.) to be incorruptible is to not trespass, therefore corrupt God’s Kingdom!
Deuteronomy 31:6-8 (NKJV) 6 Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you." 7 Then Moses called Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, "Be strong and of good courage, for you must go with this people to the land which the LORD has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall cause them to inherit it. 8 And the LORD, He is the one who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed."
CHOOSE to Live WITH & OF God’s Way …BECAUSE the Kingdom has …NO Trespassing.
