The Inheritance of the Overcomer

Thank you very much, Miguel; may God bless you greatly and use you greatly in the Divine Program. It is a great privilege to be with you on this occasion, to share some moments of fellowship with you around the Word of God and His Program pertaining to this end time.

It is not just about reading the Bible, but knowing that as other people lived on this Earth and there was a Divine Program taking place, and a group of people understood It and entered into that Divine Program… but others did not understand; that is why when Noah was on Earth, few were saved in the ark that was built. And Jesus, speaking of the end time, says that as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be the day that the Son of Man will be revealed.¹ In other words, few people will understand God’s Program that pertains to the Last Day.

It is important to know what time we are living in, what is the Divine Program for the Last Day, for the end time. It is not just about saying: “We are in the Last Days,” because we have been in the Last Days since the days of Jesus; because “one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day,” Saint Peter says in Second Peter chapter 3, verse 8; and therefore, when we are told about days before God, to human beings those are millennia. The Last Days before God are the last millenniums to human beings, which began when Jesus came to Earth and had His ministry.

That is why Saint Paul, in Hebrews chapter 1, verse 1 and on, says… Let’s read it. Hebrews chapter 1, verses 1 to 4, says:

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,” (How did God speak? By the prophets. God in Holy Spirit in the prophets),

“Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son,” (when? In these Last Days, in the days of Jesus), “whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds…”

Who is the heir of all things? Jesus Christ. How and through what or whom did God make, did God create the universe? Through Jesus Christ. A mystery? Of course it is. Scientists are still searching for the origin of Creation; and they discovered that before Creation there was a power in the atmosphere: That was the Word, the same Pillar of Fire that appeared to the prophet Moses. That power that delivered the Hebrew people using Moses, was the same power that created the Heavens and the Earth; that is why God says that He is the Creator; through the Son (Christ) He created the universe.

Remember that Christ is the Angel of the Covenant, the Angel of the Lord; that is why the Scripture says that God gave the Law by commission of Angels.²

Remember that Christ said on one occasion, in Saint John chapter 8, verses 56 to 58: “Abraham desired to see My day; he saw it, and was glad.” The Jews say to Him: “You are not yet fifty years old, and You say that You have seen Abraham?”  Jesus Christ says to them: “Before Abraham was, I am.” How was He? He was the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant, who would appear to the different prophets, to the different judges, messengers of God.

It is important to know who Jesus Christ is, He isn’t just anyone. He is none other than the Angel of the Lord, the Angel of the Covenant who was made flesh, was made man, and dwelt in the midst of the human race; and He is the One who redeems all Creation; and He is the heir of all Creation.

“…who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high…”

Remember that He said that He would sit at the right hand of God? That is what Saint Paul speaks about in Hebrews chapter 1; and the One sitting on the Throne is the One who has the power. That is why Christ said: “All power is given unto me in Heaven and on Earth.” (Saint Matthew chapter 28, verses 16 to 20).

And now, let’s read the Scripture that speaks to us about the inheritance of the overcomer. Romans chapter 8, verses 14 and on, says:

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father,” (remember, Abba means ‘Father’).

“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

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.

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.

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.”

May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.

“THE INHERITANCE OF THE OVERCOMER.”

Saint Paul says that we are heirs of God, just as every son is an heir of his father. Of all that the father has, the children are heirs; and of all that God has, all the sons and daughters of God are heirs. Does God have a little or a lot? All of Creation. The visible world and invisible world of the different dimensions.

The inheritance of the children of God is all of Creation and Eternal Life; heirs of Eternal Life, which is the greatest treasure a person can have. And since the believers in Christ are heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ Jesus, then we all need our elder Brother in order to receive the inheritance of our heavenly Father.

The Scripture tells us that we are the firstborn, and that speaks to us about a double portion of inheritance; because the firstborn is always the one who receives the double portion of the inheritance. Let’s say that a person who is an heir receives one million dollars, if there is another heir and he is the oldest, that person receives double, the double portion of inheritance; and therefore, the believers in Christ being heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ Jesus, who is our elder Brother and is the firstborn out of all His brethren, who are the believers in Christ; in other words, the believers in Christ are more than multi-billionaires, and some don’t know it.

The whole universe belongs to God and to His children. God imparts Eternal Life to His children; just as a father imparts physical life to his children, by begetting them and bringing them to earthly life, which is what they were able to give us; because of the fall that happened in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve lost Eternal Life for them and for their descendants; they lost the physical Eternal Life and Adam only had 930 years left,³ which is a lot, compared to how long people currently live; but despite that, his time here on Earth in his physical body came to an end, and he wasn’t able to leave his seed bodies with Eternal Life. But don’t worry, God knew all of that, it was in God’s Program so that the Divine attributes of Redeemer, Savior, and so on, could be manifested; and Christ is the second Adam.

Through the first Adam, Death entered; through the second Adam, Eternal Life entered for all those who have been written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, before the foundation of the world.

Remember that it isn’t by mere coincidence that a person receives Christ as Savior upon hearing the preaching of the Gospel. Christ said: “My sheep hear My Voice, and they follow me, And I know them, and I give them Eternal Life; and they shall never perish. My Father, which gave them to Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father’s hand.” Saint John chapter 10, verses 27 to 30. And verse 30 says: “The Father and I are one.”

And now, it’s important that all those who will hear the Voice of Christ, which is the Gospel of Christ, and will receive Him as Savior, are written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

If the fall of the human being back then in the Garden of Eden hadn’t happened, the children that Adam would have, would have physical Eternal Life. And do you know who those people would be? The believers in Christ. So, it’s just a delay of about six thousand years, but we are here. We had to come to this Earth to confirm our place in Eternal Life with Christ in His eternal Kingdom.

Therefore, every person who would belong to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is referred to as a firstborn of God, as a son or daughter of God; and thus, heir of God and joint-heir with Christ Jesus our Lord.

In the Kingdom of God, in the Millennium, the Kingdom of the Messiah, the people who will have the most wealth will be the believers in Christ; not only spiritual riches but physical riches as well.

What multi-millionaire or what multi-millionaires can go to a doctor and say to him: “I want you to give me a medication that will make me young and allow me to live eternally”? Despite all the money he has, he can’t do it. But he can go to the owner of a funeral home and buy from him a little place, a little coffin so they can take his body to rest, and buy a plot in the cemetery as well; no matter how much money he has, he will die.

So, if we want to have earthly riches, we have to know how we are going to use them. And Saint Paul, Saint Peter, and other apostles, put their riches in the Work of God, in the Work of Christ; and in their inheritance they will receive in a multiplied way, and Eternal Life; because without Eternal Life one cannot enjoy the Divine inheritance there is for all the believers in Christ.

The earthly life we live here is only evidence that Eternal Life exists in another dimension, which Christ spoke about on many occasions.

We can live on this Earth; and because we have free moral agency to believe or to doubt, to be a believer or to be an unbeliever to God and His Word, everyone has his own responsibility before God, to either believe or not believe before the Word of God and His Divine Program for the time in which he was given to live.

Christ Himself said in Saint Mark chapter 16, verses 15 to 16:

“Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”

He who does not believe misses out on the greatest of riches: Eternal Life, which is the greatest thing a person can receive; and in Eternal Life are all the other riches, the whole Divine treasure, God’s inheritance, to be enjoyed in the Millennium and for all eternity.

In the body in which the dead believers in Christ will resurrect at the Last Day, and in the transformation that will be received by those who are alive, they will obtain the physical likeness of Christ resurrected. In other words, the Scripture speaks to us about the adoption, about the redemption of the body, which will be the glorification that every person will have; because in the resurrection, the dead believers in Christ will resurrect in eternal, immortal, and glorified, and young bodies, like the glorified body of Jesus Christ, who is as young as when He ascended to Heaven; and those who are alive will be changed. And then everyone will be young and they will be immortal. We will all return to immortality because our soul comes from eternity. And we are in the Program of Redemption, returning, being restored to Eternal Life, being restored to eternity.

First it takes place in the spiritual realm, and then in the resurrection of the dead it will be in the physical, where the living will also be changed and glorified like Christ was glorified; and that is when we will reign with Christ in the Millennium and throughout eternity in eternal and glorified bodies.

But in the meantime, we work on this Earth, we fight; and with our faith put in God, put in Christ, everything we believe will be possible; because nothing is impossible to him that believes. How will it happen? Don’t worry about that: Faith will work, because the subconscious is what believes or doubts, the soul, which has only one sense: free moral agency, to either believe or doubt.

Some use free moral agency to doubt, to be unbelievers; and they lose the blessings, the riches there are in the Kingdom of God in all the areas of the life of the human being.

Keep believing in everything you want to be successful in, and you will achieve it. Jesus said: “If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain: Move hence to yonder place; and it shall move; and nothing shall be impossible.”⁴ All things are possible to him that believes. The subconscious will be in charge of making what you believed a reality.

In all the areas of the life of the human being, that is the case. For example, a person believes he will become a doctor, and he starts his career and goes on and obtains it; because he believed. And all professions are like that; you will find that that person believed that he could obtain it and he worked for it.

Remember, one must always work. A lazy person receives nothing, a lazy person is always an unbeliever. But there are no lazy people here; you are all hard-working people, who strive to be successful in all areas of life. And we all want to have the best possible for our family. Therefore, know that in the inheritance of God’s sons and daughters, of God’s inheritance, there are spiritual and also material blessings. That is why Christ said: “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God,” (that is the first thing) “and His righteousness, and all the other things will be added.”⁵

Therefore, it is important to know that there is an inheritance. And I have a part in that inheritance, and so do you.

Look at what Saint Paul tells us in Colossians chapter 1, verse 12 and on:

“…Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.”

“The inheritance of the saints in light.” See? There is an inheritance for all the saints in light, which are God’s sons and daughters, the believers in Christ who form the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

It is important to understand these things and occupy the position relevant to each one of us in the Divine Program, in the Kingdom of God; because when a person departs from this Earth, he can no longer do anything else about salvation, if he didn’t receive it while he was here on Earth. Therefore, we must identify ourselves with Christ so He gives us Eternal Life.

The only one who can give Eternal Life is Jesus Christ, who resurrected and said: “All power is given unto Me in Heaven and on Earth.” Christ has the exclusivity of Eternal Life. And when we desire something and know who has its exclusivity, to whom will we go? To the one who has it. Christ said: “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; and no man comes to the Father, but by Me.”⁶ In other words, there is no other way to God.

Some people think: “All paths lead to God,” but Christ said: “I am the Way.” Not a way: the Way. “The Truth;” not a truth, the Truth. And the Life.

That is why we find in the Bible that Saint Paul the Apostle taught the people to pray, and he taught them to ask in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ: “And whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the Name of Jesus Christ.”⁷

And Christ Himself said: “Whatsoever you ask the Father in My Name, that will I do.”⁸ Everything! Spiritual prosperity and material prosperity as well. “Whatsoever you ask.” He didn’t say: “Only spiritually.” “Whatsoever you ask the Father in My Name, that will I do.” And He also says: “Herein is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit.”⁹

The Work of God is seen in all the believers in Christ, and one sees the blessing, the joy, the happiness there is in the soul, in the heart of the believers in Christ; it is because they know that they have Eternal Life, and that is why they aren’t afraid of death.

If they die, then they go to Paradise, that is the end of the struggles to wake up early to go to work, sit in the morning traffic that no one likes, and the evening or afternoon traffic that no one likes either; and some people don’t like the 8 hours of work very much either. But we have to work; we have to strive; because we have been placed on this Earth to fight. The overcomer will receive all of God’s blessings.

Therefore, the words of Christ through His Spirit, in Revelation chapter 21, verse 5 to 6… to 7, says:

“And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.”

It is important to be motivated in life, and to have the desire to live. There are some who, at the age of 40, are already thinking about retiring, and not fighting anymore. After 40 years you have more experience and you can work better.

It is important to know that we are on this Earth to fight and obtain victory. And Christ said: “I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” Saint Matthew chapter 28, verse 20. And also in chapter 18 of Saint Matthew, verse 20, it says: “Where two or three are gathered together in My Name, there will I be; I will be there.”

In other words, it is important to gather in the Name of the Lord and to call upon His Name and His Presence; and He will bring the spiritual blessings that will give us encouragement and strength to fight in life, and also to obtain material blessings. Because not only is the spiritual part important, so is the physical; but the spiritual part is the most important one, and it influences the material one as well.

Someone who spiritually has no motivation, has no joy, has no happiness, even if he is a multi-millionaire, what does it benefit him? So, what he has are papers or bonds, or whatever it is, or properties; and if he dies he can’t take anything.

It is important to enjoy life, to be happy on this Earth, and to work for the wellbeing of others; and to work in the Work of Christ, which is the work that transcends to the Kingdom and into the Kingdom of God.

That is why Christ said: “Lay up treasures in Heaven.”¹⁰ In other words, you can make treasures there. If we can make treasures on Earth, how much more so in Heaven! By working on Earth and striving we make treasures here; and by working in the Work of God we make treasures in the Kingdom of Christ.

There we have the parables of the talents that were given out,¹¹ and we also have other parables. And then everything they gained, those who appear in the parables, Christ didn’t take it away from them later on: it went on to belong to the very people who strived and multiplied the pounds¹² or talents.

It is important to be conscious that this earthly life is short and we must make good use of it, by knowing the Divine Program, working in it and showing our family to walk in the path of God. Remember that the Scripture says: “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is an adult, he will not depart from it.”¹³

We all want our children to be an example, to be good children, and to be good citizens, and to be people who respect others, and help other people. All of this is important for every human being.

Now, the most important thing is the salvation of the soul. Remember that the human being is a living soul. The human being is a soul, spirit, and body. The soul is what a person actually is: a living soul, that is the greatest thing you are.

Some people see a tall person, and say: “That person is so big!” No: “He’s so tall!” And they might see a small person and say: “He’s so small!” Maybe that person is the big one and the tall person is the small one. Like the case of Goliath and David: David was the big one and Goliath was the small one; now, in terms of height, Goliath was taller and David was shorter. But notice, the one who was physically smaller, knocked down the big one with a stone; and the one who was bigger couldn’t even harm David with a sword.¹⁴

It is important that our faith be steadfast in Christ our Savior, and that we know that when our life ends here on Earth, we will continue living in another dimension. It’s because we go on to another dimension when our time comes, called Paradise, for all the believers in Christ; where people don’t get tired, they don’t have to sleep either, nor eat, nor wake up early; there is no night in that dimension.

Remember, they are in heavenly bodies similar to our bodies but young, and they are living there until the resurrection. Christ will pass by that place when He finishes His Work of Redemption, His Claiming Work; in the claim, He will claim all those people, He will raise them in glorified bodies, and He will change us who are alive; and then we will all be young with Eternal Life. That motivates us to live, knowing that there is a Divine Program and that we are here on Earth due to God’s Program, the Program of Eternal Life that God has in order to restore us to Eternal Life.

Your name and mine have been written in Heaven before the foundation of the world; and we have come to this Earth because we were in God’s mind before the foundation of the world, we were known by God, part of God; in other words, God is incomplete without us, but with us He is complete.

It is important to wake up to reality to the fact that our names are written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, which the Book of Revelation speaks about in different chapters of the Bible. That gives us security.

We are not here by mere coincidence. You did not choose to live on this Earth and live at this time. It was God who chose to bring us to this Earth to confirm our place in Eternal Life with Christ our Savior. That is why the Gospel of Christ is preached, people are given the opportunity to receive Christ as Savior, and to be baptized in water in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Saint Mark chapter 16, verses 15 to 16, tells us:

“Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned,” (they lose salvation and Eternal Life).

And we cannot miss out on the greatest blessing from God: the salvation of our soul, Eternal Life for our soul; which is what Christ gives all the people represented in the sheep that the Father gave Him to seek and give Eternal Life.

“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost,” Christ says.¹⁵ And we were those sheep that had been lost; but Christ has been gathering them from stage to stage, from age to age. And when the number of those sheep is completed in His Church… Remember that the Church is the Fold of the Lord, of those sheep, and Christ is the Good Shepherd, and we are the sheep.

Christ taught in a simple way so that everyone could understand; and that is why the Psalm says: “The Lord is My Shepherd.”¹⁶ We can all call the Lord: “Our Shepherd,” we are represented in sheep. Christ Himself is represented in the Lamb of God. John the Baptist says: “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”¹⁷

Because to everything that Christ is… Everything that Christ is, so are the believers in Christ; and since He is the heir of all Creation, He is the heir of Eternal Life and of all Creation: we are heirs of Eternal Life and of all Creation, as joint-heirs with Christ our Savior.

God bless you; and God bless each one of you, and have a good evening.
