The Keys

Dear Ones: The Keys! The Lord gave the Keys of the Kingdom to His disciples. We are His disciples, so this applies to us, too. Keys open or lock door. Therefore, we can lock the enemy out of our lives when he comes with his attacks. Thought bombs are the most dangerous because the enemy tries to make us believe his thoughts are ours.

When you got the keys to the family car for the first time you received them with joy. But the added responsibility also came with the keys. This is true for the Kingdom Keys given to us by the Lord. They can be used for good or misused. The Lord gave us the right to exercise His authority in Luke 10:19, “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” His authority can be equated to the keys of Kingdom power. The power of His authority is to be used to crush the activity of the dark one. We should never misuse it to manipulate or control the brethren.

Through the redemptive work of the Cross, we have been given kingdom keys to use as Holy Spirit directs us. The evil one fights against us exercising our rights in this way. When the children of God realize that they have been delivered from all the power of the dark one, he has lost his advantage. We begin to deal with him as a defeated foe in Christ. WOW! That is great news.

May you use the Keys of the Kingdom wisely and in faith every day. Let Holy Spirit guide you how to exercise Christ’s authority against the attacks of the dark one. Believe that these great provisions are for you. Learn to participate in His victory over the darkness. It is a good day to walk as an overcomer. I bless you in Jesus’ name.
