Kingdom Principles

Kingdom Principles

Kingdom of Heaven we have a book called the Bible. The Bible is the expressed will of the King in written form. It is the constitution of His Kingdom. As we have already seen, the words of the king become the law of the land. His words do not produce the contract; his words are the contract. And out of this contract—this constitution—comes the law. The constitution is not the law; the constitution produces the law. What I mean is that the constitution establishes the terms, con ditions, and rights of life in the kingdom. This leads to laws designed with the express purpose of ensuring that all of those terms, condi tions, and rights are preserved, protected, and accomplished. The constitution is the will and the testament of the king for his citizens. Will and testament are two different but related words that are both important. A will is what is in the mind of a person—his or her desire and intent. A testament is the physical documentation of a person’s will, codifying his or her desire and intent in the form of a legal document. A will, then, is in your head; a testament is when you write down what is in your head. This is why lawyers always ask, “Do you have a will and testament?” The written testament clarifies to all parties your desire and intent and makes them verifiable in a courtroom. That is why I call the Bible the constitution of the Kingdom of heaven. It is even divided into two sections called the Old Testament and the New Testament . The Bible, then, comprises God’s docu mented thoughts concerning His citizens—His expressed will, desire, and intent for the human race He created in His own image. A will kept in one’s head can never be defended in court. It is for this reason that God commanded Moses and all the other prophets in the Bible to write . He wanted a testament that could be tested or con tested in the court of the universe. So we take the Bible and we bring it before the court of the universe and say, “This is what my King guaranteed me.” Then the King says, “According to My word, be it done unto you.”
