JOINT-HEIRS – PART THREE
Sunday – March 15, 2020, Adar 19, 5780
Greetings to all of our beautiful (all of you) and precious friends and partners of this Ministry and The Three Minute Word blog. God is so good dear saints. Also, welcome back to this Sunday teaching series continuing on the topic of being a joint-heir. We are family dear ones, we are heirs, and have already inherited in Christ Jesus. Each one reading please prayerfully consider being a financial partner with this Ministry becoming a part and having a part in the doing and the reward of all the Lord leads us to do. No Ministry or business operates on fresh air and best wishes. These posts are the most visible part is this Ministry, the Teaching arm, but there is also the Sabbatical Moments arm which reaches out to discouraged pastors, and lastly but far from least is the Conference arm. Ladies be sure you have your flyer and have registered for the upcoming Women’s Conference on the 30th of May 2020 themed “The Virtuous Woman” to be held at New Beginnings Church of God, Waterville, Maine. If you would like a poster and flyers for your Church please contact Donna.

Being a joint-heir is considerably different from being an heir as in our natural families. In the natural an heir gets a portion or the whole of finite (defined) inheritance. Not so for us in the Kingdom of God. Our inheritance is not just spiritual and mostly for the sweet bye and bye but for now, especially for now in this natural here and now. Both the spiritual and physical are already ours and are without limit now and forever. Keep in mind there will always be an earth with heavens and they will be natural just like now (Isaiah 66:22, 2 Peter 3:13, Revelation 21:1 [3 witnesses]). You may be wondering about the picture for the last two weeks and today. The man in the middle represents the Father, the man on the left (or right) represents Jesus, and the other man represents each one of us individually. Now, let’s look at some Scripture concerning we, the children of God, being joint-heirs. It is my prayer that each one found last two weeks discussion on this topic not only interesting, and thought provoking, but profitable for your knowledge and faith. Many will almost flippantly say; “oh yeah, we’re joint-heirs” with seemingly no thought for what the reality of that might be for today and for eternity. The teachings of our elders have been according to the traditions of men and the doctrines of devils and not the pure Word. As a result, we have been hogtied in the land of not enough or just enough and think it is the will of God. Dear ones it is not the will of God! Let’s consider the following Scripture in the context of being a joint-heir (now and forever) and the Truth that our Father is the God of super abundance.
John 10:10 (AMP)
10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).
If there is stealing, killing, and destroying in any part of our lives, spiritual or physical it is the thief, who is the devil, NOT God. Jesus said I came that we may enjoy life and have it in fullness, overflowing abundance. Notice the word “may” in the Amplified translation. Consider the following two translations.
John 10:10 (PassionNTPsa)
10 A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect —life in its fullness until you overflow!
Notice the Passion Bible says that the thief has only one thing on his mind and that is stealing, slaughtering, and destroying. What is the only thing of the mind of Jesus and the Father? He wants to give us everything in abundance, more than expected, overflowing. Since this does not just happen, like everything else in the Kingdom of God including salvation we have a role to play in bringing this super abundance into our lives. Let’s take a look at the King James Version before we wind it up for today. Hopefully everyone is coming to the understanding that the whole purpose of being made a joint-heir is not just because it is a legal right of a family member but to provide super abundant resources (tools) for the Kingdom of God and to make others lives better around us. As we make others’ lives better, we may bring some them into the understanding (knowledge) that they also are joint-heirs. Some will choose to develop their faith to have the same flow of abundance, super abundance, in their lives as well.
John 10:10 (KJV)
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Notice the word “might” in the King James text. We choose whether we are going to allow this super abundance into our lives or not. Whether we are going to stick with the traditions of the elders, of men and the lies of the devil or the pure Truth. I for one am going with the pure Word. Lord willing, I will pick up right here again next week.
Until our next publication, as a Bible Teacher and Prophetic Voice I speak this blessing over each and every one of you, receive it, believe it, and speak over yourself and your family by faith in Jesus name! Quit asking God to bless you, you are already blessed, you have the Blessing, give Him something to do by the words of your mouth. Once you know the will of God, decree the thing (Job 22:28, Isaiah 45:11, Mark 11:23). (The Blessing is the Holy Spirit) We have left God way to long with nothing to do in our lives.
Numbers 6:24-26 (AMP)
24 The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you;
26 The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).
