Lock Up When You're Done

And that’s not all. You will have complete and free access to God’s kingdom, keys to open any and every door: no more barriers between heaven and earth, earth and heaven. A yes on earth is yes in heaven. A no on earth is no in heaven.
— Matthew 16:19 MSG

A good friend was heading home to Georgia from Michigan to visit with family. Before he left he gave me keys to his home to check on things for him while he was away. Upon his return, I went to return his keys to him and he told me to hold on to them just in case I needed to borrow anything when he wasn’t around. Imagine the sense of friendship and confidence he must have had to trust me with so much.

Jesus has given His friends keys to His home as well. These keys aren’t used to unlock doors to houses or apartments. These keys are to unlock the many blessings Jesus has in store for us. God never created us to lack in anything. He created us to have life and it more abundantly. He trusts us with the keys of heaven to not ask, but to declare what is to be on earth, or what is not to be. But, the only way we know what to ask or declare is when we commit to studying His Word daily.

When we align our earthly agenda with Christ’s heavenly agenda and declare the many promises God speaks to us, we are empowered to change our current situations. Whatever God says He has for you in His word, declare it right now in the name of Jesus. Speak it into existence with power. And whatever obstacles stand in your way, say no to them right now with faith! Jesus has placed the power inside of you to loose blessings and bind curses. Nothing is impossible for you. Believe and walk in it today.

Turn the key.

There are no locked doors with Jesus

Heavenly Father, thank you for trusting me with your keys to heaven. I will declare the promises you have spoke to me and bind those things that are not of you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
— This is my prayer
