Joshua - Inheritance预览

Joshua’s division of the land reads like a legal description which is boring unless it is your property being described. Your legal description becomes very important when someone trespasses on your land

Each one of these sections is a specific promise of God through Moses and Joshua to the tribes of Israel. These legal descriptions are the boundaries that Israel was to keep. We have our own boundaries where our spiritual promises reside:

Spiritual warriors:

• Walk with humility and gentleness
• Display patience, tolerance, and love 
• Are renewed by the Spirit
• Put on the new self, created in righteousness and truth.
• Are angry without sinning
• Forgive as we are forgiven

When we operate outside of our Spiritual boundaries, we are trespassing on God’s sovereign territory.

We are called, like the Israelites, to put out everything that does not bring glory to God. If we allow those things to remain in our territory, as the Israelites did, they will eventually lead us astray.

Challenge:

• Memorize Ephesians 1:3
• Do you tend to operate inside or outside of your Spiritual boundaries?
