Find Your Keys

Matt 16:19
And I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. 

Wow! This scripture is loaded with so much it's ridiculous. Just think about this for a moment; Jesus said He will give us the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Why would He do this? We have an incredible amount of responsibility do we? So I guess the question is, what do we do with it?

What do we do with these keys? Well as we all should know keys are used for locking and unlocking doors and what Jesus is talking about is no different than that. We have an obligation from heaven to bind and loose things on the earth. You say God is in control right? Do I believe that God is in control? You bet I believe that God is in control. So than what part do we play? We are stewards here on the earth.

We, the church should be standing up like never before not cowering down like usual. Jesus wants His church to rise in power here on the earth! There should be a huge difference from the church and the world but today it's hard to spot the difference. I am not talking about dress... tattoos... earrings.. piercings, but what I am talking about is the difference between the church and the world.

In the book of Acts we saw a huge transformation when the Holy Spirit came in power. The church was radical, the church was different, the church was transformed. Today it should be no different. Today in so many churches the praise and the worship is boring, the preaching is boring, everything, boring. Please don't think I mean every church because there are some churches that are going against the grain, but many churches are stagnant and boring, and you can tell. We must take a page from the book of Acts to see what happens when man gets out of the way and God can breathe or bring the fire of the Holy Spirit.

So back to the keys! The Bible speaks a lot about confession. Confession has gotten a bad wrap because some have used it as a piggy bank. I want a new BMW, well just confess it and it will come to pass. I am not hating just saying. I believe in confession but I also believe we must use it for the kingdom, not a want list for us.

But we have the power of utterance and confession. Jesus defeated the devil in Matthew 4 by doing what? Confessing the Word of God. We have to do the same thing to get the same results. We have to speak the word. There isn't much preaching about this today, but it's relevant. We must grasp this. Speak the Word! When the devil comes knocking, speak the Word! When trials comes, speak the Word!

God gave us a mouth for a reason. He didn't give it to us to gossip, He gave it to us to speak His Word. God wants to move on the earth. I believe in the shift that is taking place. I believe in the awakening that is about to hit the world. But, we can't stop. We can't quit we have to push like never before. We have to run through a wall if we must.

Use the keys given to you to speak Gods Word. The devil cannot defeat you. He can't beat you. He has no authority. The only authority He has is the authority you give him. Take the keys, speak the Word, and keep the devil where he belongs, which is under your feet!

Be blessed!
