Trespassers W
One of my favourite parts of the Winnie the Pooh books is where Piglet describes his Grandfather’s name.
Piglet, you may recall, had a grandfather called Trespassers W, which was short for Trespassers Will, which was short for Trespassers William. Piglet’s grandfather had had two names in case he lost one – Trespassers after an uncle, and William after Trespassers.
Brilliant!
The other night I was at a prayer meeting at church. God drew my eyes to look inside the keyboard player’s coat that was lying on stage.
I did it (without causing too much attention!) and saw the words:
“Go further… Trespass.”
I shared this with my fellow intecessors. I share it with you too.
God has clothed you with the desire, ability, faith and strength (however tired, weak or low you may feel in the natural) to GO FURTHER and trespass into territory previously belonging to the enemy.
This starts at home with your family, but it continues into where you are and what you do.
So go further today and trespass. You will find that it is actually your territory anyway.
Deuteronomy 12:22-25 says:
“If you carefully observe all these commands I am giving you to follow””to love the LORD your God, to walk in obedience to him and to hold fast to him”” 23 then the LORD will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations larger and stronger than you. 24 Every place where you set your foot will be yours: Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea. 25 No one will be able to stand against you. The LORD your God, as he promised you, will put the terror and fear of you on the whole land, wherever you go.”
Where are you going to set your foot today? If you go with God’s blessing, you feet will be going where He has already promised you have the right to be.
