Who has the keys in the heavens and on this earth? The answer is Christians. Christians have the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. But what does this mean?
The kingdoms of this universe
Di alam spiritual, there are two kingdoms:
- Kerajaan Tuhan
- Kerajaan iblis (kerajaan kegelapan)
There are no more kingdoms, than these two. You belong to the Kingdom of God or you belong to the kingdom of the devil.
Between these kingdoms is a war raging. This war will continue until the day comes that one of these kingdoms will be completely destroyed by the other Kingdom.
Anda mungkin berkata: “Ya, but wait a minute, Jesus has already conquered the devil, He has taken the keys and has all authority in heaven and on earth, so the devil is already defeated. We can rest in Jesus, and sit at His feet in His presence. We mustn’t pay too much attention to the devil, yak, that gives me bad vibes. and by the way you mustn’t scare people”
Dengan baik, kamues, Anda benar… Jesus has defeated the devil and Jesus has legally taken the keys of authority, Tapi… the war is not over.
The devil still has the ability to fight and attack Christians, because the devil has not been cast into the eternal lake of fire, belum (Wahyu 20:7-10).
Until the devil is cast into the lake of fire, the devil still has the ability to attack Christians and destroy them.
Where do the attacks of the devil take place?
The attacks of the devil take mainly place in the flesh (jiwa raga (pikiran); penyakit, (mental) penyakit, ketakutan, kecemasan, weakness, destructive and negative thoughts that don’t line up with the Word of God, dll..
The devil tries to tempt believers in the flesh, so that they will step into his trap and cause them to sin. This is the way the devil captivates Christians.
The devil knows his time is short. Therefore the devil goes around like a roaring lion, Mencari siapa dia bisa melahap. His mission is to bring as many people as possible with him to hell (1 Petrus 5:8).
The devil is a murderer, a slaughtered, and he lies and deceives people, and tempts the people to sin, karena dosa mengarah pada kematian.
Whosoever walks in sin, walks in the death. The Word of God says that sin leads to death and not to eternal life and the devil knows this as well.
God gave the keys to mankind
Let us go back to the garden of Eden. The devil tempted Eve, she began to doubt God’s words, menjadi disobedient to His words, and she and Adam sinned.
When Eve began to doubt, she hadn’t sinned yet. But Eve let that doubt enter her mind and began to reason.
She could have stayed obedient to the words of God and could have said to the serpent: “NHai, I will not eat of these fruits, because God has commanded us, to not eat from this tree. I will obey God, because I believe in what He says, and not what you say.” Tapi sebaliknya, Eve believed the words of the serpent, and therefore she took the forbidden fruit and ate from the forbidden fruit.
Adam didn’t stop Eve, while he was with her, but Adam also took the forbidden fruit and ate from the forbidden fruit.
When Adam and Eve took the fruit and ate the fruit, they became tidak taat kepada Tuhan and obeyed the devil instead.
The devil took the keys
When they obeyed the devil, they handed over their keys of authority to the devil. And so the devil had taken the keys of authority on earth, which God originally had given to mankind and became the ruler of the world.
From the moment man sinned, roh manusia mati dan berada di bawah kuasa kematian, and the law of sin and death entered and man fell from his appointed position.
Adam and Eve were no longer spiritual but became carnal and as a result the flesh became visible to them and saw that they were naked.
God wasn’t walking with a spiritual man, but with a carnal man. Through the fall the law of sin and death came into being and reigned in the flesh.
Setiap orang, who would be born on from the seed of man, would be born as a sinner and live under the authority of the devil and death.
Setelah jatuh, God walked with several people and eventually God chose a people and made a covenant with Abraham and his Seed. Tuhan menyertai Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub (Israel). ANd everyone, who would be born of the seed of Jacob (Israel) belonged to God’s covenant people.
Hukum dosa dan kematian
God made this invisible law that reigned in the flesh and His will known to His people by giving the law of Moses. Through the law God made His will and the works of the devil known to the people and warned the people.
As long as the people kept God’s commandments, they had nothing to worry about. God was with them and they were protected and blessed. But as soon as they deviated from the commandments of God and His precepts, they would be cursed and live in bondage.
God gave them a choice, to chose life through obedience to the law or to chose death, through disobedience to the law (Baca juga: Do the mountains of blessing and curse still exist in the New Covenant?).
Menaati perintah Tuhan
The only way for the people of Israel to stay free from bondage of the devil was by keeping the law of Moses. Dengan menaati perintah Tuhan, sila, Ritual, Hukum Makanan, hukum pengorbanan. dan pesta, they would be walk in His will and be blessed and not cursed. Because God would be with them and go before them, fight for them and protect them.
When the blood of animals was brought to the altar, and once every year to the mercy seat, the sins and iniquities of His people would be covered and forgiven and (sementara) reconciliation took place between God and His people, so that God could have communion with His people.
The coming of Jesus; Putra Tuhan
Kemudian Jesus came into the flesh, lahir dari Roh Allah. Because of that Jesus was not born as a sinner; His seed was not affected by evil. Jesus was fully Human and could have sinned, but Jesus loved His Father and lived a life of obedience without sin. Jesus walked according to the kehendak Bapa-Nya.
Even in the wilderness, ketika iblis mencoba menggoda Yesus dengan firman Tuhan. Jesus corrected him and defeated him with the true words of God.
Jesus knew His Father and kept His commandments. When the devil tried to tempt Him, by proving Himself that He was the Son of God and by giving Him all the kingdoms of the earth, Jesus didn’t fall into his trap (Baca juga: ‘Saya akan memberi Anda kekayaan dunia‘).
Jesus knew that the devil was a liar and He had come to the earth for a greater purpose.
The earthly riches and kingdoms were only temporary, but Jesus came to free humanity from the captivity of the devil. Jesus came to free mankind from the power of the devil. He came to deliver them from the darkness and transfer them to the Kingdom of God and reconcile them with God and give them eternal life.
Jesus didn’t give into the desires and lusts of the flesh (ketamakan, cinta uang, pelacur, pemujaan berhala, egoisme, dll.) TIDAK! The Spirit ruled in Jesus’ life and therefore Jesus walked after the Spirit and not after His flesh.
Did Jesus have the ability to take what the devil offered Him in the wilderness? Sangat, tetapi Yesus tidak melakukannya. His priority was to do kehendak Bapa-Nya.
Jesus legally took the keys back
Ketika Yesus disalib, He died, memasuki Hades, and stayed there for three days. During these three days, Jesus preached the Gospel and conquered hell and death and legally took back the keys, which the devil had taken from Adam.
Pada hari ketiga, the Holy Spirit raised Jesus from the dead. Jesus came back with the keys. And so Jesus had legally taken the keys of authority back from the devil.
Sejak saat itu, the devil had no right anymore to possess and captivate man. But the devil still had the ability.
The devil still works according to the law of sin and death. But anyone who believes in Jesus Christ, dan menjadi sebuah ciptaan baru, is seated in Him.
Kapan ciptaan baru walks after the Spirit and not after the flesh, (S)he is redeemed from the law of the sin of death and the curse.
Karena itu sekarang tidak ada penghukuman bagi mereka yang ada di dalam Kristus Yesus, siapa yang berjalan tidak mengejar daging, Tapi setelah Roh. Karena Hukum Roh Kehidupan di dalam Kristus Yesus telah membuat saya bebas dari hukum dosa dan kematian. Untuk apa yang tidak bisa dilakukan oleh hukum, karena ia lemah secara daging, Allah mengutus Anak-Nya sendiri dalam rupa daging yang dikuasai dosa, dan karena dosa, mengutuk dosa dalam daging: Supaya kebenaran hukum Taurat dapat digenapi dalam diri kita, who walk not after the fles, Tapi setelah Roh.Karena mereka yang mengejar daging memperhatikan hal-hal dari daging; tetapi mereka yang mengikuti Roh adalah hal-hal Roh. Karena keinginan daging adalah kematian; tetapi berpikiran spiritual adalah kehidupan dan kedamaian (Roma 8:1-6).
Apa yang terjadi, if you don’t speak the Word of God?
But… if Christians don’t take the Word of God in their mouth and don’t begin to speak the Word of God, and remain carnal and are led by the flesh; indra mereka, pikiran, emosi, perasaan, akan, nafsu, keinginan, dll., maka tidak akan lama, before the enemy leads them back into captivity (Baca juga: ‘The reason why you don’t experience victory in your life?)
Sekarang saya katakan, Itu ahli warisnya, selama dia masih anak-anak, differeth nothing from a servant, meskipun dia adalah penguasa segalanya; Tetapi berada di bawah pengasuh dan gubernur sampai waktu yang ditunjuk oleh bapaknya. Meski begitu kita, ketika kita masih anak-anak, berada dalam perbudakan di bawah unsur-unsur dunia: Namun ketika genap waktunya telah tiba, Tuhan mengutus Putranya, terbuat dari seorang wanita, dibuat berdasarkan undang-undang, to redeem them that were under the law, agar kita boleh menerima pengangkatan anak laki-laki. (Galatia 4:1-5)
Orang Kristen memiliki kunci
Christians are theanak-anak Allah and they must realize, that in Jesus Christ, mereka memiliki semua kekuasaan di surga dan di bumi.
Jesus has the keys to set people free from every oppression of the devil. If you are born again in Christ and are seated in Christ, you have in Him all that He has. Jadi, dengan kata lain, you have the keys; the authority to set people free from the oppression of the devil.
Oleh faith in the name of Jesus, you have the keys. You have the keys; the authority to free people from bondage, to forgive their sins and iniquities, and give them eternal life (A.O. Yohanes 20:23).
The devil still operates in the flesh; jiwa raga. He still works according to the law of sin and death.
But as a born again Christian, sebagai anak Allah (ini berlaku untuk pria dan wanita), you operate in the law of the Spirit of life and not in the law of sin and death (Roma 8:2).
You are crucified with Christ, which means that you no longer live, but that Christ lives in you.
You’ve laid down your carnality, which led you to sin and death. Therefore the law of sin and death has no hold on you.
You will not look at the cause and effect. But you will look at one thing: darah Yesus, and faith in His name, that brings freedom to everyone.
The devil hates God and knows how much God loves people. Therefore the devil wants to destroy people, in order to hurt God. The devil knows his destination, which is the eternal lake of fire. He wants to take as many people as possible, with him. This is his revenge on God.
Let Christians arise!
Therefore arise! Read and study the Word of God. Take the Word in your mouth, so that you no longer be a slave of sin, but become spiritually mature. Know the Word and speak the words of God and live after His will.
Walk in Him and bring life and freedom to people. Free people from their prison of depression, kecemasan, penyakit, penyakit, gangguan mental, takut, kematian, kekuatan, dll..
You are seated in Him and He has the keys; He has all authority. If you are seated in Him, you also have the keys; Anda memiliki semua otoritas di dalam Dia.
Sekarang, your job is not to relax, stay carnal and live after the flesh. But your job is to bring the Kingdom of God to the earth and walk after the Spirit. You ought to be doing God’s will and not your will.
Put on the spiritual armour of God
Jesus has set the example and showed us how to walk as a son of God. Therefore begin to walk after the Spirit, put on the spiritual armor and walk in the Word of God.
Akhirnya, saudara-saudaraku, jadilah kuat di dalam Tuhan, dan dalam kekuatan kekuatannya. Kenakan seluruh perlengkapan senjata Tuhan, agar kamu dapat melawan tipu muslihat iblis. Karena kita bergulat tidak melawan daging dan darah, tetapi terhadap kerajaan, melawan kekuatan, melawan penguasa kegelapan dunia ini, melawan kejahatan rohani di tempat -tempat tinggi. Oleh karena itu ambillah kepadamu seluruh perlengkapan senjata Allah, agar kamu dapat bertahan pada hari yang jahat, dan telah melakukan semuanya, untuk berdiri. Oleh karena itu, berdirilah, memiliki pinggang Anda berikat pinggang dengan kebenaran, dan mengenakan baju zirah kebenaran; Dan kakimu bersepatu dengan persiapan Injil damai sejahtera;
Di atas segalanya, Mengambil Perisai Iman, yang dengannya kamu akan dapat memadamkan segala panah api orang jahat.
Dan ambillah helm keselamatan, dan pedang Roh, yang merupakan firman Tuhan: Berdoa selalu dengan segala doa dan permohonan dalam Roh, dan berjaga-jaga dengannya dengan segala ketekunan dan permohonan bagi semua orang suci; Dan untukku, ucapan itu boleh diberikan kepadaku, agar aku dapat membuka mulutku dengan berani, untuk menyingkapkan misteri Injil, Untuk itu saya menjadi duta obligasi: agar di dalamnya aku dapat berbicara dengan berani, seperti yang seharusnya saya katakan (Efesus 6:10-20)
'Jadilah garam dunia'
