THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN ! (transcript)

Communion service

Text: Matthew 16:19, Revelation 1:18, Isaiah 22:22, Revelation 3:7, Revelation 9:1, Luke 11:52

The Bible is full of men who performed exploits, ordinary men who did extraordinary things by God's help and God given skill and abilities.
God is the giver of ability and skill.
God is the one who makes things happen for people by setting people up for greatness and giving them platforms to operate from.
God can help an individual, a family, an organization, a nation or a church.
As a church, I make bold to say God is ready to help us, the God who made King Uzziah great is ready to help you and I.

God has many ways He helps people.
In scripture how He helped each man is different from one person to the other.
The way God helped Abraham is different from the way God helped David, the way God helped Jacob is different from the way He helped Gideon, the way God helped Uzziah is different  from the way God helped the Apostle Paul.
What all the heroes of faith have in common is that God helped them!

May God help you!

God is still in the business of helping men, we know this because Hebrews 13:8 tells us something about God, that He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
God will help you in Jesus name!

The new testament is a revelation and an unveiling of the old testament.
The new testament is a manifestation of the old testament.
One of the revelations of the new testament is the revelation of 'keys'.
The key of David
The key of the Kingdom of heaven
The key of hell and death
The key of knowledge
The key of the bottomless pit
So the using of spiritual keys is one of the ways God helps people, this revelation is particularly more obvious in the new testament.
The revelation of keys is particularly more pronounced in the new testament because it is a revelation God wants us to understand in these times and because Jesus brought a revelation of God's Kingdom, and God's Kingdom operates with 'keys'.

As citizens of God's Kingdom  we will do well to understand these keys and know what they can do in our lives.
The keys from God's Kingdom can open any door!
Many of the exploits and wonders we read about in the old testament were the keys of God at work, but this truth is revealed more in the new testament.

What does the key of the kingdom of heaven do for you?
1) It gives you authority- Luke 10:19, Matthew 16:19- you become a spiritual policeman of God on earth with the rights to do certain things.

2) It helps you bring heaven to earth- Matthew 6:10

3) It makes you a reagent of God's purposes on earth- Jeremiah 1:7-10

4) It helps you glorify God- It unlocks heaven on earth, heaven reveals the glory of God.
Matthew 6:10, Psalm 19:1

5) It shows you are a son of God not a child (maturity)- there are certain blessings God will not put into the hands of children who are not mature.
God desires that we all grow in spiritual and emotional maturity so that we will be able to handle certain blessings He wants to give us. For your inheritance to be unlocked, you will have to grow and be able to handle your blessing.
Sons of God, are the mature ones, not mere children. They are the ones who manifest
The key of the kingdom of heaven makes you manifest.
Galatians 4:1-3, Romans 8:19

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination.
