KEYS TO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.....KEYS. KEYS!🙏🙏🙏🙏

Not sure that I'm discerning what you are stating.

The key that loosens those captive from their captors (lying spirits) Keeping them chained as prison guards . . we have a different kind of guard.

You could say set free from a dark prison. . . kept in a impregnable glorious mansion no darkness . Two kinds of keeping. one to keep enemies in . . . the other to keep them out. . . both keep or guard.

Something I did a while back ..sort of a poem . I have titled . The Key . . . . . the Open Door

What a miracle the love you have revealed. Teaching your thoughts as revealed.

I spent my life soul searching to no avil imprisoned and locked without a Key.

All my souls searching with all of my might . . could not aid me I was loosing the fight.

Blinded and deaf, I felt with my hand, stumbling and tripping trying to stand.

Again and again I gave up the searching for the Key and determined again I would never be free.

The prison I lived in was so dark and so cold. God sent his Son to free from the dark eternal abode.

So bright is Love and powerful His might . It illuminated by mind and diminished what I called sight.

Then a soothing gentle voice giving me ears to hear ... saying; "This is my Son in whom I am well pleased" At the sight of his face I fell to my knees.

So brilliant was his countenance at last I could see. His face reflecting the love as the reason he suffered for me.

The prison door opened as I gazed at his face. I fell again and thanked him for the gift of grace.

He took me by the hand as I started to cry again whispered, it was why he chose to die .I thanked Him as a followed his light showed the way and marveled at the fact for my trespass he did pay.

My soul the restless wander is no more .He is the key the open door.

If I take a long holiday and am not sure if the time of my return....... I get a housesitter. I have cats,dogs,plants,mail,and paper that will need attention until my return! Now when I go I leave them in charge of what is MINE,I GIVE THEM THE 🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑 KEYS🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑 to accomplish this task. I give them ALL the keys! I hold NO KEY back( even to the liquor cabinet) . I trust my sitters with all I have given them ,that at my return its all in order and good standing!

Whatsoever you bind (lockup/lockout) shall be bound (lockup/lockout)"
"....and the disciples marvelled that demons were subject to them"
"...and greater works than these shall you do because i go to My Father"

Just a few authority verses off the top of my head

Good luck defending your extra non biblical mess you were taught by John Mcarthur (you sound exactly like him,no pentecost,no power,no authority)
How can a believer stumble over something so basic???

You took the issue on. Nobody told you to come and make belive keys were a figment of Jesus's imagination.

I took the issue on because this is a public Christian Forum, where we still have the freedom to express our biblical convictions...without belittling one another and twisting their words to win an argument.

What a major,major,mighty earth shaking marvelous gift "...KEYS TO THE KINGDOM"
Concerning authority,revelatory knowledge,authority over satan and demons,healing,the Holy Spirit becoming our helper,...and wow AUTHENTICATED AND DECLARED,YES DECLARED OVER US,HIS DISCIPLES.
WHAT A EARTH SHAKING MONUMENTAL BLESSING!!!
I CAN GO A MILLION MILES ON WHAT JESUS HANDED ME.

YOU "jesus you can keep your key baloney"
You know,there is a key strategy in life and walking with God.
It is called "picking your battles"
You need a makeover friend. You are litterally bucking up against heaven. Your stand is making you redo the bible itself.

Jesus said "greater works than these shall you do"
The bible is alive
Jesus is alive
Jesus handed us the keys to the kingdom (authority)
The miracles Jesus did were not meant to be abstract history.
He is alive and has a body.
That body has hands that touch the sick and heal.
That body has a head... Jesus
That head uses the mouths of his disciples (me and you) to cast out demons and break chains off people.
He uses our mouths to speak his words.
His ministry on earth is THROUGH US.
WE NOW HAVE AUTHORITY.
HE GAVE US THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM

Thanks for your opinion. I just don't buy your take on exousia, spiritual authority. You have not shown anywhere in Scripture that spiritual authority has been given to others, other than Prophets or Apostles.

Jude 1:9 NASBS
[9] But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"

The apostles have the same treasure as any believer.

Yes but if you try to yell louder than Jesus,subject matter .....it becomes about YOU!

Luke 9:49-50 - Warning: please beware of the sin sectarianism!

That's a big 'if'. There is nothing wrong with defending His Word against error. No one is yelling.

And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
(Luke 9:49-50 KJV)

For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
(1Co 11:18-19 KJV)

1 John 2:19 (KJV) They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

The next time your writings become Scripture, tell me

The sin of sectarianism, means, "the exclusion of all others, outside of a particular group." Jesus said to His Apostle, "Forbid him not:" In others words, just because you are a Apostle doesn't make anyone a second class Christian that they can not have power also.

I offer my private interpretation of what I believe the Holy Spirt is teaching me as any other person who defends the mutual faith that they hope is working to defend them also. .LOL When did your writing become scripture?

😊Fiqure of speech silly..... I cant hear you anyway!
