Going to church, reading the bible, listening to Christian music will not advance your spiritual life. These activities may give you more understanding but until you are ready to lay down your life and take up your cross this leads nowhere.

What I am talking about is the sacrifice of self to advance the cause of Jesus Christ in the world. There is a destiny that God had for each of us that only we can personally discover. We can discover it only by detaching from the world and making ourselves available for the Holy Spirit. By detaching from the world--now you have time--the commodity that most Christians are not willing to give.

Jesus said, "Self-help is not help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, to finding yourself, your true self. (Matthew 16:25)

"God has planted eternity in the human heart." (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

"Anyone who lets himself be distracted from the work I plan for him is not fit for the Kingdom of God." (Luke 9:62)

"The most important thing is that I complete my mission, the work that the Lord Jesus gave me." (Acts 20:24)

"We have been sent to speak for Christ." (2 Corinthians 5:20)

"We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (Ephesians 2:10)

The Key Of David

Posted 12-20-2023 at 08:55 PM by Albert Finch


There is kingly authority that is available through Isaiah 22:22 and the key of David. He has called us to rule and to reign with Him as His bride:

"The key of the house of David I will lay on his shoulder, so he shall open and no one shall shut; and he shall shut, and no one shall open." - Isaiah 22:22

The kings who ruled during Biblical days, wore on their royal garments two keys -- one sewn onto each shoulder. These keys signified that they were the governing authority over the entire land.


WE HAVE KINGLY AUTHORITY THAT GOD WANTS US TO USE

God wants His kings to rise up and take their place in the earth. We have an authority that goes beyond just what we say and what we pray. We have power that is demonstrated when we begin to speak the word of God. When we begin to prophesy, we expect that word to come to pass.

Through our Christ anointing when we speak the words of God there is life on them; and those words don't fall to the ground -- they come to pass and people begin to listen to the Church.

God wants to challenge us to know that we are kings. As we step into positions of spiritual authority, God will release us to worldwide prominence and expand our territories. He will take us places that we have never dreamed to release His presence and power on earth.


HOW TO ACCESS THE KEY OF DAVID


David was a lover of God -- the key that he wielded was the key of intimacy with God. God has been doing a work in those who have been in a place with Him in intimacy.

The key of Davidl looses for us what God has already loosed in Heaven on our behalf, and also binds things that God has already bound in heaven (Matthew 16:19).

When we operate in that key of intimacy, breakthrough will happen. Intimacy coupled with faith releases breakthrough.


JESUS IS THE KEY OF DAVID


"For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace, there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over His Kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this." (Isaiah 9:6-7)

Jesus came to the earth for a purpose: to seek and save that which was lost, (the authority that Adam lost in the Garden) see Luke 19:10. He's talking about the mandate of spiritual dominion rule and reign in the earth that the devil snatched up when Adam fell in the Garden. Jesus is the One who opened all the doors that needed to be opened and shut all the doors that need to be shut when He died and rose from the dead.

Matthew 16:19 -- "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of Heaven...."

Jesus states that He is getting the Keys back and giving them to the Church.

We access the keys when we access Jesus. Knowing Jesus as a friend who is closer than a brother releases a co-laboring partnership through our Christ calling empowered through intimacy and faith. And that intimate relationship with Jesus releases to us the keys of revelation and knowledge that will transform lives by bearing fruit that remains through our Christ calling.
