Use
Your Keys
For
ye are all the children of God by faith in
Christ Jesus.
Galatians
3:26
• Open doors . .

• Lock doors . .

It can be aggravating when you misplace
your keys. Depending on their function, they could stop you dead in your
tracks. Owning keys is a sign of authority that links you to certain
privileges—whether they can open the doors to your house, car, business,
etc.
The
devil could care less about your house or car keys. I don’t think he minds you
having keys to an office or even to a safety deposit box. However, there’s ONE
set of keys he does mind you having. As a matter of fact, he works hard to
deceive you from ever finding out the POWER you posses with these keys. I’m
talking about the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven.
God has given those in Christ keys to bind on
earth what He has bound in heaven, and to loose on earth what He has loosed in
heaven (Matthew 16:19). We have that authority because we have been made the righteousness
of God through Jesus Christ (II Corinthians 5:21b). The enemy doesn’t mind us
quoting that Scripture; but to actually believe it and walk in that power makes
the plans he has for us go haywire. This is a major problem for him. Oh well!
Walking
in the authority of righteousness eradicates the enemy’s control over us. We
can quench all the fiery darts of the enemy (Ephesians 6:16). We are overcomers
(Romans 8:37). We have the spirit of wisdom (Ephesians 1:17-18). If you haven’t
already, it would afford you well to study in
detail what it means to be the righteousness of God. We can’t operate from
that reality if we don’t fully understand what that entitles us to.
For
a long time the devil has been tormenting and controlling us with his number
one weapon: FEAR. The problem with this picture is, God has given us POWER against
the enemy (Ephesians 6:11). It’s time to turn the tables on the devil and give
him a dose of his own medicine. He is so fearful that we will come to the
knowledge of who we are in Christ Jesus. The only thing he can do to a
CONFIDENT Knowledgeable Christian is . . . flee.
By
the Authority Given to You, Start Locking and Unlocking Some Doors.
You have
the KEYS!
