“In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will.” [Ephesians 1:11]

“In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.” [Leviticus 25:13]

“In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.” [Ephesians 1:13-14]

“Our lost inheritance has been reclaimed by our gracious, precious Kinsman Redeemer. How God came down and become... changed His cast from God and was made man, in order to be human, to become a human Kinsman Redeemer, to redeem back a natural world to a natural people. Amen! How that God (the Supernatural) became natural to become a Kinsman, because He could not defy His Own laws. He had to come by the re-... kinsman redeemership because that's the way He... that's His plan. That's the way He did it. God knowing that man would fall, yet He could not make man fall. God knowing man would be lost, though He did not want anybody lost. But to order that the great display of the attributes of God might be manifested to all man, that He could be a Redeemer, He could be a Saviour, man had to fall. It was in him to fall, then it was in God to redeem him again. That's the re-... we have to have nighttime, to make daytime right. We have to have sickness, to make us enjoy health. Everything, a pro and con. Now, and our Kinsman Redeemer..”[61-0618, Revelation Chapter Five 2 Jeffersonville IN]

“Inheritance by predestination. I inherited something. What inheritance? There had to be somebody leave me an inheritance. Why, you say, "Jesus left you an inheritance." Beg your pardon? Jesus never left me an inheritance; Jesus never left you an inheritance; He only came down and paid for your inheritance, brought you to your inheritance. But your name was put on the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world. God give you your inheritance. Your inheritance was first. Jesus only come... A lot... Here's the way they try to make it, "God said, 'Well, there's a lot of people lost; I don't want them... be saved, so I'll send Jesus down and perhaps maybe He'll... somebody feel sorry, and know what I've done and--and get saved.'" Oh, mercy. I wouldn't run my office like that, even as poor as I do run it sometimes then. I wouldn't do it like that. How about God?” [60-0522m, Adoption 3, Jeffersonville IN]

“But, "He that understandeth, he that knoweth his place in this hour, he that heareth My Word and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath" (present tense) "Eternal Life. Shall not come into the Judgment, but has already passed from death unto Life." Then when this new Eternal Life dwells in you, It is the potential, or the earnestness of you being quickened from mortal to immortality. Let me say that again. When This Spirit has found you, the individual, and has come upon you, It is the potential of your Eternal inheritance that God thought of you and made for you before the foundation of the world. That is your potential. Like if you asked me for an oak tree, and I give you an acorn. Now, the--the--the life for the oak tree is in the acorn now, but you have to wait till it grows up.” [65-0410, The Easter Seal, Phoenix AZ]

“So they went up there and waited, and the earnest was sent back of that land. And today we can enjoy that. We are now, reckoned ourselves dead and buried with Him in baptism. We are raised with Him, spiritually speaking, we are now tonight setting in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, raised up with Him. We are now in the body of Christ. I Corinthians 12, "By one Spirit we're all baptized into one body." By what? That's the earnest of our inheritance. We already got the down payment on it, that we know we've passed from death unto Life. We look back and see where we once were and where we are now. There's sin in the world down there, and we've raised above it, setting with Him, our King, in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. What an evidence. And not even death itself... When a great warrior, Paul, come to face it, he screamed, "Oh, death, where is your sting? Or grave, where is your victory? But thanks be to God Who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." “[62-0611, It Is I Be Not Afraid, Columbia SC]

“Now, a man and his family could go back to their original inheritance if they could hear the jubilee, a trumpet sound, and know that--what it meant to them. Now, if they heard the priest sound the trumpet, the minister... The trumpet is the Gospel. And when they hear It, and they know what It means, and they know that that's their inheritance, no matter where they'd lost, how far they went back, whatever they had to do, they had the privilege to come and receive again their inheritance. The whole family could come and receive their inheritance.” [62-1122, Return And Jubilee, Shreveport LA]

“The sounding of the trumpet. Yes, sir, return, dispersed. But if you've sold your inheritance, if you sold out and done these things... What am I saying? Return back. If you joined up with some cult that tries to keep you away from fellowship with other brethren, leave the thing. This is jubilee. Amen. I feel religious. Return. Return. This is jubilee. Don't let it pass by. Remember, don't let it pass by. If you've sold out, if you've went out in the world, if you've sinned, you knowed that you once had the experience, you went and joined up where you can't fellowship with the rest of them, you done all these things... I don't care what you've done, if you're a son, you have a right to return now because it's jubilee. It's jubilee time.” [62-1122, Return And Jubilee, Shreveport LA]

“One day, the old mammy hunting for him. Must've been the year of jubilee for the little fellow. The old mother come over and she screamed. He looked up, said, "That sounds right." He heard something. She said, "Son, you're not a chicken; you're a eagle. Come out of it." Said, "Mama, how do I get out?" Said, "Just flop your wings. That's your God given deliverance. You're borned a eagle. You've got an inheritance. Come on up higher. Get out of that stuff. Return back." He made four or five flops. And when he did, he set right down on a post in the yard, right in the middle of Pentecostal organization. She said, "Son, you'll have to jump higher than that or I can't get you." Next jump he lit on his mammy's wings and went on into the heavenlies. That's the call of the day, brother. Return back. You're not chickens; you're a eagles. Return back. Yes, sir. Now, we know that it's true.” [62-1122, Return And Jubilee, Shreveport LA]

“Then did you notice Moses, that great miracle performer that brought down Israel down through the land, and brought them up to the promised land, but did not place their inheritance to them? He did not give them their inheritance; he led them up to the land, but Joshua divided the land to the people. Is that right? And Christ brought the church up to the place to where their possession was made to them, was given to them, just the Jordan to cross, but the Holy Spirit is the One Who sets the church in order, the Joshua of today puts the church in its order, giving to each one, gifts, places, position. And He is the Voice of God speaking to the inner man that Christ has saved: the Holy Spirit. Now, do you get that much of it? Now, we're getting over into the Book of Ephesians. Now, the same way, He's positionally placing the church where they belong. Now, Joshua placed them in the natural land. Now, the Holy Spirit is placing the church positionally, in the land that they--in the position that they belong in, their inheritance.” [60-0518, Adoption 2, Jeffersonville IN]

“Yes, sir, it's time to return. "Return to what, Brother Branham? Return back to the organization I come out of?" No, return back to your inheritance, the inheritance that our Father left us. "How did He... What kind of an inheritance did He leave?" "Wait ye, in the city of Jerusalem until you're endued with power from on high." That's the inheritance. Not, "Go, join this one, and go join that one, go join this one." Wait till the power comes from on high. "How long?" Until. "One day? Two days?" Wait until. Don't take some little emotion, some little flusteration; wait there until you are dead and buried and borned again anew in Christ Jesus, and every pulsation of your life beats out Jesus Christ, so you can see the life of Christ reflected right in your--your living, the way you go. Yes, sir, till you can find that power like they had back there in the beginning...” [62-1122, Return And Jubilee, Shreveport LA]
