Kingdom Principles

Kingdom Concept #4

A testament provides protection from the abuse of rights. It pro tects the rights of the beneficiaries of the will. If all you have is a will, how can anyone know what you want for your beneficiaries? You know what you want, but what if you die suddenly? How will your beneficiaries be protected and receive the benefits you desire for them unless your will is written down and documented legally? That is the purpose of a testament. A testament can be contested in a courtroom. There is no doubt as to what you meant. The Word of God, written down and printed in the book we call the Bible, is the most powerful document we have. It is the constitu tion of the Kingdom of Heaven, the testament of the will of the King for His citizens. 1. The source of the constitution is the king, not the citizens. Whereas the Constitution of the United States begins with the words, “We the people…” the constitution of God’s Kingdom says, “I, the Lord…” We who live in dem ocratic states can always amend our constitution because we, the people, created it. But we cannot change God’s constitution because we didn’t write it. That is why I believe the biggest conflict in the coming years will be between the Kingdom and religion. Religious people keep trying to adjust God’s constitution. They debate it and discuss it and become embarrassed or angry over parts they don’t like. Sometimes they even change it or water it down to make it more palatable for modern spiritual tastes. This is absolute foolishness. The King of Heaven established the constitution for His Kingdom and only He can change it. But He won’t. He is eternally unchanging, and so is His Word, because the King and His Word are the same. It says so right in the constitution: SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF THE KINGDOM CONSTITUTION
