Thought For Today: The Greek text of that scripture(Matt.16:19) would litterally read,I give you the keys of the kingdom. Whatever you declare locked on earth is locked in heaven and whatever you declare unlocked on earth is unlocked in the heavenlies. The heaven Jesus was talking about there isnt the heaven where God resides. He was talking about the battle zone, about the heaven where Satans forces are operating. He was telling us that God has given us power to bind the wicked spirits in heavenly places and to loose the angelic powers of God to work in our behalf. Philippians 2:9-10 says, Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name. That at the name of Jesus, every knee should now, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth. Where? In heaven, in earth and under the earth. That covers it all. As believers, we have total authority over the powers of Satan. We can take authority over the evil spirits that are trying to destroy this nation and us. We can take authority over them in the Name of Jesus, and pull down their strongholds. It is time we begin to realize how important we are to world affairs. Since the day Jesus gave us the Great Commission, the life or death of the world has been in the hands of the Church( not the one made with hands of man, but in the body of Christ the believers inwhich the Holy Spirit inhabits for we are the true temples our bodies). We are the ones who have the mighty Name of Jesus and the awesome strength if the gospel to bring life and abundance to every creature. We are the ones whose prayers can change every office of authority in this land.( God said if we cry out and turn from our wicked ways that He would heal our land). Its up to the body of Christ( true believers) to intercede right now and use the power God has given us. We may come from different lands with different backgrounds, but we all have one thing in common--Jesus Christ is our Lord. And that alone is enough to alter the spiritual complexion of this earth. P.S. Does it make sense to have the numbers to the winning lottery pick and not play them? This is just how foolish it is for us to not serve the living God for He is our winner. Amen and All Glory be to God
