“KEYS!”

I have a necklace that my sweet daughter gave me that is a beautiful key on a great chain. It has a stone in it, and I love it.

However as lovely as that key is, it opens nothing. It is good to look at but will not reveal what is in a locked area. It does not really function as a key but only looks like one.

In our walk with the Lord Jesus Christ in this world we are temporarily in, we like to proudly show the beautiful keys of talent, abilities, admirations, and successes but our lives with God are not real and will not open the doors of the Kingdom to the World around us, who desperately need Jesus Christ in our lives.

Jesus declared in teaching us to pray that we pray: Matthew 6:10 (KJV)
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

That settles the fact that Jesus wants us to have good things and see awesome things happen in our lives and ministries just as good and awesome things are in heaven.

In Matthew 16, Jesus had asked the disciples who people were saying He was. They gave several answers and then read what happens next:

Matthew 16:15-19 (KJV)
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said,

Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and

upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Jesus is saying that He will build His Church on the truth that “HE IS THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD!”, AND NOTHING WILL PREVAIL AGAINST IT.

Then in verse 19 Jesus tells us that when we truly grasp the fact that He is The Christ, the Son of the Living God, He will give us the “KEYS TO THE KINGDOM!”.

May I tell you that when we know who Jesus is, we have the authority and power to loose and to bind the Spirits that are at work in this world.

We can loose those around us from mind-bending spirits and bind them to the mind of Christ Jesus. We can loose from the bondages of destructive habits and bind to the freedom of life in Jesus. We can loose from sickness and bind to divine healing. You get the picture.

Now, let’s think about the keys. At our church we have specific keys for specific doors, but we also have a Master Key. This key opens all the doors except the door where the financial records are kept.

In our walk with Jesus, when we understand who He is, He wants to give us the Master Key to open everything we need and to give Him Glory. However, like our financial records office, we may be holding back one area that we will not allow the Master key to open.

We may grasp the greatness of our God and we may have the Master Key to open all doors, but there is one area of our life we will not release to the Lord Jesus. He wants to change that lock to the fit the Master Key also.

Hold nothing back. Release all things and people to Him and use the Keys of the Kingdom to bring His Kingdom to Earth!!!

How do we use the Master Key: Praise, Adoration, declaring what God has already done, speaking the Word and Truth! Bringing our minds into captivity of the Lord Jesus. Binding evil and loosing the Glory and Power of Almighty God!!!

God is Greater than any other!!! Do we believe that!!!

There is an old song that says: “Nothing between my soul and my Savior!”

That is my desire!!
