#468 The New Normal Series# 7, Using The Kingdom Keys
By: D. Karl Thomas

Where the Kingdom is embraced there is a community being built (Church) for the advancing of His eternal purpose in the earth.

Church:– EKKLEISIA two words – Called / Out – My called out ones. (Gathering) His cabinet, His governing body, His partners in the global plan of reconciling all thing to Himself!!!
Caesar Had a cabinet … people he chose to govern with and operate in his authority.

Acts 2:1,4 “When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place … And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit” The Church – Body Of Christ – Royal Priesthood Holy Nation

Acts 2:47 “And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.”

Ephesians 1:22 “He has put all things under His feet and has appointed Him the universal and supreme Head of the church [a headship exercised throughout the church],”

Ephesians 3:21 “… to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”

Psalm 110:1-2 “The Lord said to my Lord, ‘Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.’ The Lord shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies!”

Jesus had spent his whole ministry teaching on and manifesting the Kingdom of God. Now he is about to turn toward Jerusalem for His final mission and he introduces His followers to His Church.

Matthew 16:15-19 He pressed them, “And how about you? Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter said, “You’re the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus came back, “God bless you, Simon, son of Jonah! You didn’t get that answer out of books or from teachers.

My Father in heaven, God himself, let you in on this secret of who I really am. And now I’m going to tell you who you are, really are. You are Peter, a rock. This is the rock on which will put together my church, a church so expansive with energy that not even the gates of hell will be able to keep it out.

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.

There are benefits to the revelation of His Kingdom!

1. Blessing — “God bless you, Simon, son of Jonah!”
Holy Spirit baptism is the blessing of the father. Birth of His Church!

2. Identity — “…tell you who you are, really are.” 1 John 3:2 “Beloved, now we are children of God;”

3. Power — “…not even the gates of hell will be able to keep it out.” You are powerful!

4. Authority — “…access to God’s kingdom, keys to open any and every door:”
You only give your keys to people you really know and trust.

Matthew 16:19 (TPT) “I will give you the keys of heaven’s kingdom realm to forbid on earth that which is forbidden in heaven, and to release on earth that which is released in heaven.”
Operates through firsthand revelation!!!

Benefits Of Key Holders

1. Authority — Keys are for authorized people. Not waiting outside for the blessing to be opened.

PICTURE OF KEYS … keys are only useful if you know what they correspond to!!!

2. Access — Enjoy all the of the Fathers house. Fridge privileges!!!

3. Ownership — It’s mine!!! I never beg for what I own.
Luke 12:32 “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”

Isaiah 33:5-6 The Lord is exalted, for he dwells (SEATED) on high; he will fill Zion with his justice and righteousness. He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure.

Matthew 23:13 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in”

Luke 11:52 “Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered.”

PARABLE — SEED AND SOWER
Matthew 13:11-12 “He replied, ‘You’ve been given insight into God’s kingdom. You know how it works. Not everybody has this gift, this insight; it hasn’t been given to them. Whenever someone has a ready heart for this, the insights and understandings flow freely.'”

Matthew 13:23 “The seed cast on good earth is the person who hears and takes in the News, (heart hears and understands) and then produces a harvest beyond his wildest dreams.”

1 Corinthians 1:4-5 “I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus, that you were enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and all knowledge“

1 Corinthians 1:4-5 (TPT) “I am always thanking my God for you because he has given you such free and open access to his grace through your union with Jesus, the Messiah. 5 In him you have been made extravagantly rich in every way. You have been endowed with a wealth of inspired utterance[a] and the riches that come from your intimate knowledge of him.”

Matthew 11:29-30 “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, (the unforced rhythms of grace) for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Government is on His shoulders … well fitting easy … designed for you … flow!!!!

picture of my broken pipe … I had a pipe burst before and we had to run around and find the shut off … now I find that out right away.
