On the testimony that Jesus is the Christ, elava Jumala Poeg, Jesus builds His Church. As long as the Church of Christ stays in Him, the gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church. Matthew’s 16:19, Jesus promised to give the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Seetõttu, the Church possesses the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. But what do the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven mean and represent according to the Bible? What are the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven?
What do keys represent?
Keys represent access and authority. When you buy a house and receive the keys, you become the owner of the house. The keys give you access to your house and show that you are the owner. Kuid, the keys also bring a responsibility.
If you are not careful with your keys and lose your keys or if you don’t use the keys the right way, you cannot enter your house or something bad can happen to your house.
The keys give access to the Kingdom of Heaven
And I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 16:19)
The same principle applies to the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Läbi regenereerimine, Sinust saab Jumala poeg (See kehtib nii meeste kui ka naiste kohta) and belong to the Body of Christ. You’ve been transferred from the kingdom of darkness (maailm) Jumala riiki. Kuigi sa elad selles maailmas, you don’t belong to this world and the ruler of this world anymore. You belong to Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of Heaven. Uue sünni kaudu, you decided to follow, kuuletuma, and serve Jesus Christ.
Jumala pojana, you have been made righteous by the blood of Jesus and received the Holy Spirit, and have been given access to the Kingdom of Heaven, mis on Jumala riik.
Jeesus vastas, Tõesti, tõesti, ma ütlen sulle, Kui inimene ei sünni veest ja Vaimust, ta ei saa siseneda Jumala riiki (John 3:5)
The Kingdom of God is a spiritual Kingdom and not a visible Kingdom, that you can perceive with your natural eyes.
When you are born again in the spirit and have gained access to the Kingdom of Heaven, this Kingdom becomes visible to you.
Jeesus vastas ja ütles talle, Tõesti, tõesti, ma ütlen sulle, Välja arvatud see, et mees sünnib uuesti, ta ei näe Jumala riiki (John 3:3)
Jeesuses Kristuses, you have been given the keys; access to the Kingdom of Heaven, mis on Jumala riik. But you’ve not only gained access to the Kingdom, but you have also been given power over the kingdom of darkness.
The keys represent the authority in Jesus Christ
Now that you have been given access to the Kingdom of Heaven, you’ve also been given a new position. You became a new creation, who is seated in Jesus Christ in the heavenly places.
Uue loominguna, seated in Jesus Christ in the heavenly places, you no longer war against flesh and blood, like you did before you became born again when your spirit was dead and your sinful flesh reigned as king in your life. But now you war against principalities, powers and the rulers of darkness. You will no longer be led by what your senses perceive and what your feelings, emotsioonid, himud, and desires tell you and dictate you to do, but you will be led by the Word and the Spirit.
Jesus has the keys! This means that Jesus has all authority in the heavens and on earth.
Every enemy of Jesus, every power, vürstiriik, ruler of the kingdom of darkness is under Jesus His feet. Nüüd, sest sa istud Temas, every power, vürstiriik, and ruler of the kingdom of darkness is also under your feet.
Sa panid ta valitsema oma käte tegude üle; Sa oled pannud kõik Tema jalge alla: (Psalmid 8:6)
Ja on pannud kõik Tema jalge alla, ja andis Tema olla koguduse Peaks kõige üle, Mis on Tema keha, Tema täius, kes täidab kõik kõiges (Efeslased 1:22-23)
Kristuses, you have been given the keys, which means that you have been given all power, to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19). Hästi, niikaua kui sa jääd Temasse, kuuletuda Talle, ja kõndige Vaimu järgi. Because as soon as you leave the Word and trust and rely upon your own abilities, võimsus, ja intellekt, then you won’t have any spiritual authority and power, and it won’t be long before you will be overwhelmed by the powers of darkness.
Kiidetud olgu meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse Jumal ja Isa, kes on meid õnnistanud kõigi vaimsete õnnistustega taevastes paikades Kristuses (Efeslased 1:3)
Niikaua kui jääte Kristusesse ja käite Vaimu järgi, you have all authority in the heavens and on earth. You have been appointed to reign with Him and establish His Kingdom on earth.
God didn’t give you this power for your own glory, kasu, ja kuningriik, but for His honor, hiilgus, and Kingdom.
When you have been given access to the Kingdom of Heaven and have been given all power and authority in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit lives inside of you, you have also a responsibility.
What is the responsibility of the church?
The responsibility of the Church is to represent, jutlustama, and bring the Kingdom of God to the people on earth and use the keys of the Kingdom of heaven wisely through sidumine ja kaotamine.
We often hear that church leaders (pastorid, worship leaders, prohvetid, apostlid, jne) fall into sin. Sellepärast, they not only deny the power of God over sin and death, but they also defile the Name of Jesus and damage God’s Kingdom.
Kui teil on ristis su liha Kristuses, then your flesh isn’t alive anymore but dead. Seetõttu, you shall not be led by your flesh, your carnal emotions, tundeid, himud, soove, and what your senses perceive.
Kuid, since many Christians refuse to lay down their flesh, they have adjusted the gospel. They have adjusted the gospel and twisted and changed the words in the Bible in such a way, that they can keep walking after the flesh in sin.
There are hardly any sermons about spiritual discipline, karistust, moral responsibility, and dying to self. Miks? Because the flesh doesn’t like these sermons (Loe ka: Sõnum, mida keegi kuulda ei taha)
The sermons have changed in such a way that the enrichment and prosperity of people have become the center. Because of these carnal sermons, the flesh is continuously fed.
Kui külvad liha sisse, sa lõikad korruptsiooni. And that’s what is happening.
Many church leaders stay carnal and walk after the flesh. Selle tulemusena, church leaders fall into sin, ja see on täpselt see, mida saatan tahab!
teab, the bigger and the more famous a church leader, who falls into sin, the greater the damage to the church, Jeesuse Nimi, ja Jumala riik.
Kahjuks, the devil is still able to seduce many Christians. The devil uses many lives to damage the Kingdom of God, because many Christians are stubborn and want to keep living after the flesh.
A spiritually disciplined and righteous life is therefore essential as born-again Christians. Because you are a representative of the Kingdom of God and represent Him.
Sons of God represent the Kingdom of Heaven
Jumala pojana (See kehtib nii meeste kui ka naiste kohta), you represent the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. Seetõttu, you should have knowledge about the Kingdom of Heaven. You should know what the Kingdom of Heaven is about and Who you represent.
You should know the King of the Kingdom of Heaven and His will because otherwise, you will not be able to represent Him and execute His will. His law and His commandments represent His will. Therefore if you know these, then you know His will. If you know His will, you know exactly what you should and shouldn’t do. You know what pleases Him and what does not.
Seetõttu, you’ve got to know God’s Word to find out His will, seadus, ja käske. Because only in the Word of God, will you get to know His will.
Jesus is the King of the Kingdom of Heaven. That’s why we should know and keep His will, seadus (Vaimu seadus), ja käske.
It is important to renew your old way of thinking, that thinks like the kingdom of this world, Jumala sõnaga, so that your mind will be renewed and will line up with God’s Word and His will. peale selle, it is essential to hoia oma meelt, so that your mind won’t be polluted and defiled by the things of this world.
The will of Jesus corresponds to the will of God. Because God has given His rulership (ajutiselt) to His Son and Jesus represents the will of His Father (Loe ka: ‘Jumala käsud ja Jeesuse käsud")
I can of mine own self do nothing: Nagu ma kuulen, Ma kohtun: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me (John 5:30)
All things are delivered unto Me of My Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him (Matthew 11:27)
Then cometh the end, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, isegi Isa; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. Sest Ta peab valitsema, kuni ta on kõik vaenlased oma jalge alla pannud. Viimane vaenlane, kes hävitatakse, on surm. Sest Ta on pannud kõik oma jalge alla. Aga kui Ta ütleb, on kõik tema alla pandud, on ilmne, et Ta on välja arvatud, kes pani kõik Tema alla. Ja kui kõik asjad alistatakse Temale, siis allub ka Poeg ise sellele, kes on kõik Temale allutanud, et Jumal oleks kõik kõiges (1 korintlased 15 24-28)
Through the knowledge of God’s Word and by living according to His Word, you shall not only get to know Him and His will, and be able to represent Him, but you shall also be able to expose the hidden lies of the devil. You shall be able to refute them. Because the devil also uses the word of God. He only twists and changes the word for people’s pleasures so that they can keep walking after their flesh.
Mitu korda, Christians say they believe. But when someone asks them a question about the Kingdom of God, they are not able to answer the question. See on väga kurb! Because a representative of a kingdom should have knowledge about the kingdom. Because how else will (s)he be able to represent the kingdom correctly?
Jesus commissioned His church to bring God’s Kingdom on earth.
How to bring the Kingdom of Heaven on earth?
You bring the Kindom of heaven on earth through obedience to the Word and doing the will of Jesus and go into the world, kuulutada evangeeliumi, deemoneid välja ajada, haigeid terveks ravida, and make disciples of all the nations. (Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:15-18).
Where darkness is present, there is chaos. Kui seal on kaos, you have a responsibility as Christians (who are together the church) to create spiritual peace and order. How do you know where chaos is? Look at the lives of people. Look at what takes place in their lives and in the areas people live.
There can be areas where many people are seriously ill. The world thinks that it has to do with the pollution of the environment. But the spiritual new man knows that in those areas the death reigns through sin (sõnakuulmatus Jumalale) ja (deadly) powers of darkness are operating.
The more the areas are possessed by demonic forces, the higher the rates of (seksuaalne) kuritarvitamine, vägivald, vaesus, haigus, epideemiad, seksuaalne ebapuhtus, lahutused, jne.
Why are these areas dominated by demonic forces? Because of the lives of people.
The people deviated from God and His Word. They have gone their own way; the way of the darkness, which eventually leads to eternal death. Because of the fact that people have rejected Jesus and His Kingdom, they have automatically chosen to live in the darkness.
They have given access to these evil forces of darkness to enter their lives. Since these evil powers of darkness rule in the lives of the people, they rule and have dominion in (the spiritual) alad.
Nüüd, only someone with a higher authority can cause a change, and that is Jesus Christ and His church.
The church of Jesus Christ has a responsibility to preach, represent and bring the Kingdom of God to these areas. Through the lives of man, the evil powers of darkness access. Seetõttu, a change in the spiritual atmosphere begins in the lives of the people. The more people repent to Jesus, the stronger the light will become and the darkness shall flee.
When the seventy went out to preach the gospel, heal the sick and cast out demons and returned to Jesus, they were enthusiastic about the fact that the demons obeyed them. Jesus said to them that He saw satan as lightning falling from heaven.
Ja seitsekümmend tulid jälle rõõmuga tagasi, öeldes, Isand, isegi kuradid alistuvad meile sinu nime läbi. Ja ta ütles neile, Ma nägin Saatanat kui välku, mis taevast langes (Luke 10:17-18)
The people were delivered, and the devil lost his rulership over those areas
Sons of God pray and have a prayerlife
Every son of God prays. Prayer is a responsibility in the lives of the born-again Christians, kes on kirik. Everything revolves around prayer. Because a praying church is a militant and victorious church. Palve kaudu, you have communion with the Father and make intercession for people and areas, to claim them for the Kingdom of God.
Jesus spent many nights in prayer with the Father, and during the day, Jeesus tõi Jumala kuningriigi Jumala rahva ette.
Jeesuse ees’ ristilöömine, before Jesus was taken captive, Jesus spent hours in prayer to prepare Himself and to overcome the spiritual battle against His flesh. When Jesus won the spiritual battle, Jesus was ready to fulfill Jumala lunastustöö.
Everything revolves around prayer. That’s why prayer and prayer meetings are being attacked by the devil.
Many Christians don’t see the importance of prayer, or they pray a short prayer for their own prosperity and wealth. Instead of praying that His Kingdom shall come and that God’s will shall be done on earth as it is in heaven, that’s what Jesus has commanded us to pray.
The purpose of every believer is to establish the Kingdom of God on this earth. For this purpose, Jesus has given the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven to His church.
