An inheritance might be thought
of as a gift. The conception of
Christ was a gift from our Father.
When Immanuel, meaning God is
with us in Hebrew, leaped into
the womb of woman, you received
an inheritance from God. This is
one gift. God gave us a literal
substance gift, as well. This gift
allows us to live a happy, blessed and fulfilling Ii fe.
Let's turn to God's Word.
EXODUS 32:13 Remembel Abraham, Isaac, and Israel,
Thy servants, to whom Thou swarest by Thine own Self,
and saidst unto them, 'I will multiply your seed as the
stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken
of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it
for ever.' "
Abraham means father of a multitude. As it is
written in Genesis 22:16-18, God promised to bless the
seed of Abraham because he was willing to offer his
only son, Isaac, as a sacrifice in order to obey God.
God chose to spare Isaac even though His only begotten
Son, Christ, would not be spared. One son was the
shadow of the coming of the other. Christ paid the
ultimate price for our failings. He laid down His life,
giving us a chance for eternal life through repentance.
You will also be J:.>lessed, if you will obey God. The
blessing will be true peace of mind through the under­
standing that our Father is in control. What will happen
if you don't obey God? Let's turn to Numbers 16 and
learn about some people that had fallen away from God.
With God's help Moses had led Israel into the desert.
NUMBERS 16:12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and
Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, "We will not
come up:
Moses was a proven messenger of God. Dathan and
Abiram were disobeying God by refusing to come up.
Should they have believed Moses and followed God's
command?
NUMBERS 16:13 Is it a small thing that thou hast
brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and
honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make
thyself altogether a prince over us?
How do we know God sent you, Moses? We think
you are simply trying to make a name for yourself.
NUMBERS 16:14 Moreover thou hast not brought us
into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given
us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out
the eyes of these men? we will not come up."
God had instructed Moses to take the children into
the promised land. In your studies, read the next several

verses of Numbers. You will learn that
Dathan and Abiram had provoked God
by not obeying His instructions sent through
Moses. To further prove Moses was a
messenger sent by God, Moses proph­
esied the earth would open her mouth
and swallow these wicked men alive.
That is exactly what happened.
God is able to get your attention. E:''Pecially, if you
provoke Him by not obeying His instructions. Through
studying God's letter to us we are equipped to come
up to a level whereby we understand His plan. As you
grow closer to Him, He will touch your heart and you
will begin to act like a child of the Living God. Let's
turn to Psalms 105 and learn more about your inher­
itance.
PSALMS 105:6-7 0 ye seed of Abraham His servant,
Ye children of Jacob His chosen. I He is the LORD
our God: His judgements are in a/l the earth.
Have you seen any of the judgements of the Lord
on earth?
PSALMS 105:8 He hath remembered His covenant for
ever, The word which He commanded to a thousand
generations.
A covenant is a contract. God will keep His end
of this contract. Will you keep your end of the contract,
or did you even know there was a contract?
PSALMS 105:9-11 (Which covenant He made with
Abraham, And His oath unto Isaac;) 1.11 And confirmed
the same unto Jacob for a law, And to Israel for an
everlasting covenant: 11 Saying, "Unto thee will I give
the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance:"
It's yours. God's everlasting covenant applies to you,
if you will claim your inheritance and keep your end
of the contract.
PSALMS 105:12-14 When they were but a few men
in number; Yea, very few, and strangers in it. II When
they went from one nation to another, From one king­
dom to another people; 13. He suffered no man to do
them wrong: Yea, He reproved kings for their sakes;
I believe with all my heart that if anything gets in
the way of God's ministry, He will move the object.
He will move kings and governments, if necessary, to
ensure His Plan comes to pass exactly as it is written.
Antichrist will soon return to this earth. He will arrive
full of peace and good will. He will offer to payoff
your mortgage and promise you the world, if you will
worship him as a messiah. The promises Satan will offer
you as an inheritance are temporary and a lie. The
inheritance God offers you is everlasting. Beware of
 Satan's bargains.
PSALMS 105:15-19 Saying, "Touch not Mine anointed,
And do My prophets no harm." 12 Moreover He called
for a famine upon the land: He brake the whole staff
of bread. 1I He sent a man before them, Even Joseph,
who was sold for a servant: 12 Whose feet they hurt
with fetters: He was laid in iron: J2 Until the time that
his word came: The word of the LORD tried him.
Why did God try Joseph? God doesn't want servants
that are hot house lilies. He doesn't want spiritual wimps
that will fold at the fIrst sign of trouble. God wants
spiritually tempered "can do" servants that are ready,
willing and able to kick Satan in the teeth.
PSALMS 105.'20-21 The king sent and loosed him,
Even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. 21
He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all his
substance:
The king realized JQseph had God's truth. God's
truth will also set you free. If you keep your part of
the contract through studying and understanding His
Plan. you will not be tempted by Satan's bargains. You
I will have ·he seal of God in your mind and Satan will
i be an abomination to you. Let's tum to the New Testament.
ROMANS 8.16-17 The Spirit Itself beareth witness with
our spint, that we are the children of God: 1l And if
children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with
Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may
be also glorified together.
How do you suffer? You suffer by taking a stand
against Satan. When you teach the truth, you will run
into some adversity. Handle it wisely and don't allow
it to bother you.
gOMANS 8:18-20 For I reckon that the sufferings of
this present time are not worthy to be compared with
the glory which shall be revealed in us. 12 For the
earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation
of the sons of God. 2.Q For the creature was made
subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him
Who hath subjected the same in hope,
Creature would better be translated the creation. The
creation written of here is nature and the earth. God
caused this earth to become less than perfect at the
katabole, or Satan's overthrow.
ROMANS 8:21-23 Because the creature itself also shall
be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the
glorious liberty of the children of God. 22. For we know
that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain
together until now. :?;l And not only they, but ourselves
also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we
ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adop­
tion, to wit, the redemption of our body.
And not only nature and the earth. but we ourselves
long for the redemption, or deliverance of our flesh
bodies. Don't be in a hurry though, friends. We have
a lot of work to do in the field before we are delivered
from these flesh bodies.
ROMANS 8:24-26 For we are saved by hope,' but hope
that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why
doth he yet hope for? ~ But if we hope for that we
see not, then do we with patience wait for it. 2." Likewise
the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not
what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit
Itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which
cannot be uttered.
'1
Study the contract and do the best you are able.
After that, turn it over to Him. The Spirit will intercede
for you.
ROMANS 8:27-28 And He That searcheth the hearts
knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because He
maketh Intercession for the saints according to the will
of God. l'LAnd we know that all things work together
for good to them that love God, to them who are the
called according to His purpose.
God moves people around for His purpose, When
you are faced with major decisions, be careful to make
your decisions based on God's purpose for you, Ask
Him and follow Him.
ROMAN:;Ut2J1-30 For whom He did foreknow, He also
did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His
Son, that He might be the firstborn among many
brethen. ~ Moreover whom He did predestinate, them
He also called: and whom He called, them He also
justified, and whom He justified, them He also glorified.
The word justified means judged. Yes, they have
already been judged by God. I am certain these souls
stood against Satan at the time of his rebellion. They
are "can do" and "what ever it takes to get the job
done" souls.
ROMANS 8:31 What shall we then say to these
things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
If God be for us, 1 don't care who is against us.
The Father gave us this good earth, Take charge of
your life. Kick Satan out of your life and live a happy
life on this land the Father has given us. Act like a
child of God.
In closing I want to tum back to the book of
Isaiah. A good teacher always answers an important
question subconsciouly asked by students. "What's in
it for me'?" The blessings and love of God are in it
for you, In as much as we are made in His image,
what's in it for God? Have you ever asked yourself
that question? You will find the answer in the next
verse.
ISAIAH 19:25 Whom the LORD of host shal! bless,
saying, 'Blessed be Egypt My people, and Assyria the
work of My hands, and Israel Mine inheritance.'
God also has an inheritance. His inheritance is YOU,
What kind of a deal is He getting? Do you allow Satan
to slap your family around? Don't you think Satan
laughs at our Father when you allow him to mess with
God's inheritance which is you? Take charge. Kick
Satan out of your life with the power of Jesus Christ.
You are the inheritance of the Living God. Make Him
proud of you.
In His Service,
