Series: “The Kingdom” Sermon #8 “Kingdom Keys”

The good news is not Jesus and it is not that you get to go to heaven. 

The good news (GOSPEL) is that God became a man to establish His kingdom on earth.

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

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.”

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

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 (Petros). This is the rock (Petra) 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 of NKJV) 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!
Daniel 11:32   “…the people who know there God shall be strong and do exploits.” 

4. Trust  — “…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! 

Matthew 18:18-20 “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven … if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.  For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”

Kevin and Julie were given full responsibility and control of our household.  (PICTURE)

I am a Divinely equipped administrator. 

This revelation changes the order of things.

I don’t bind something demonic here on earth and then it becomes bound in heaven. 

No, I bind on earth what has already been bound in heaven. 

I establish on earth what Jesus has already accomplished for us on the cross.

When you listen to people pray  you quickly find out who they believe is in charge. 

Beggars don’t know who they are.

Commanders have revelation and they call His will into manifestation. 

1 John 4:4 “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”

2 Corinthians 4:4 “…whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.” 

1 Corinthians 4:20 “For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power.” 

I don’t have to go to King school.  I am an adult son of the King of Glory and he has made my a King.

Daniel 2:35,44 “And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth. … And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.”

God has called His church to rise in these days and take responsibility.

1 Timothy 3:15 “I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.”

Isaiah 60:1-3  “Arise, my people! Let your light shine for all the nations to see! For the glory of the Lord is streaming from you. Darkness as black as night shall cover all the peoples of the earth, but the glory of the Lord will shine from you.  All nations will come to your light; mighty kings will come to see the glory of the Lord upon you.”

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

Keys are only useful if you know what they correspond to!!!

2. Access — Keys Of The Kingdom Enjoy all the benefits of the Fathers house. Fridge privileges!

Romans 8:32 “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?”

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.” 

Aligning yourself with the revelation of Jesus as King puts you in a place of privilege, trust, and authority and provides keys to ignite, lock, and loose, resulting in the manifestation of His Kingdom.
