The Reading of the Will

The Reading of the Will

Hebrews 9:11-18 (amp) vs16  for where there is a (Last) Will and Testament involved, the death of the one who made it must be established.

           

When I went into the Army as a 17 year old kid, one of the things that was issued at that time was a New Testament.  Inside the first page was the statement, “The Last Will and Testament of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ”.  This New Testament is a legal document above all legal documents, to where the testator has risen from the dead to be Executor of His own Will.

            In this New Testament or this “Last Will and Testament”, the legality of this Will is superior to all else.  When this Will was written, Jesus was alive as a man and as the Son of God and man.  First He was the Son of God in the Old Testament (or Will), then as the Son of man and God in the New Testament.  As long as He was alive, it was just a legal document.  After His death, it is a vital fact in the life of the Beneficiary. 

            The reading of the Will is read to the beneficiary by the Holy Spirit.  John 16:13-15 (Amp) Jesus declared that the Holy Spirit would reveal to us all the truth of what He left in His Will.  He went on to say in John 16:15 (Amp) that everything the Father has is mine.

            If I were to read this Will to you and show you what Jesus left to you, you can lay claim on your inheritance.  Id the Executor of the Will said, I leave you my peace (John 14:27), then this peace is legally yours.

            In John 17:1-26 (Amp), Jesus was stating His Will through the one who would watch over it to see it was recorded right (II Timothy 3:16-17 Amp).

            The Father and Jesus and the Holy Spirit (these three are one), the Water, the Spirit and the Blood are witness on the earth and heavens.  I John 5:6-9 (Amp) we have a document that bears witness in heaven and in earth.  This document, or Will, is signed, sealed (by His blood), and delivered (by the Holy Spirit) legal.

            Jesus left in His Will, the most important things and desires of His holdings for us.  First of all, He said, I leave unto you, my righteousness (or right to stand in the Father’s presence).  Next, He left us His own justification.  He left us His Glory.  He left us His Name (the power of attorney) in His name (to lay legal hold of our inheritance).  He left us His authority, He left us His ability, He left us His life and His abundance, He left us the Holy Spirit to empower all of us to be good stewards over our inheritance.  He left us a joint seating in heaven with Him,  He left us a clean slate as he canceled all previous debt, He left us angels to be ministering servants on our behalf.  He left unto us all the wealth that was His.

            If God were to stand before you in person today on behalf of this Will, He would quote Hebrews 6:13-18 (Amp) vs 18 by two unchangeable things (His promise and His Oath) in which it is impossible for God ever to prove false or deceive us.

            Some of the people who are in the family of God didn’t even show up for the reading of the Will to claim their inheritance, even though it was left them by the Testator.  Some are waiting until they die in order to receive.  When something is left to you in a Will, when is it yours?  When you die or when they die?  He died so you could have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10).

            Receive what He died for and left to you now, and live forever and enjoy it throughout the rest of eternity.
