On the testimony that Jesus is the Christ, Dzīvā Dieva dēls, Jesus builds His Church. As long as the Church of Christ stays in Him, the gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church. Metjū 16:19, Jesus promised to give the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Tāpēc, 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. Tomēr, 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 (Metjū 16:19)
The same principle applies to the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Caur reģenerācija, Jūs kļūstat par Dieva Dēlu (tas attiecas gan uz vīriešiem, gan uz sievietēm) and belong to the Body of Christ. You’ve been transferred from the kingdom of darkness (pasaule) Dieva valstībā. Lai gan tu dzīvo šajā pasaulē, you don’t belong to this world and the ruler of this world anymore. You belong to Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of Heaven. Through the new birth, you decided to follow, paklausīt, and serve Jesus Christ.
Kā Dieva dēls, 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, kas ir Dieva Valstība.
Jēzus atbildēja, Patiesi, patiesi, Es tev saku, Ja cilvēks nav dzimis no ūdens un no Gara, viņš nevar ieiet Dieva valstībā (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.
Jēzus atbildēja un sacīja viņam, Patiesi, patiesi, Es tev saku, Ja vien vīrietis nepiedzimst no jauna, viņš nevar redzēt Dieva valstību (John 3:3)
Jēzū Kristū, you have been given the keys; access to the Kingdom of Heaven, kas ir Dieva Valstība. 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.
Kā jaunradījums, 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, Emocijas, iekāres, 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, Firstisti, ruler of the kingdom of darkness is under Jesus His feet. Tūlīt, jo tu sēdi Viņā, every power, Firstisti, and ruler of the kingdom of darkness is also under your feet.
Tu liki Viņam valdīt pār Tavu roku darbiem; Tu visu esi nolicis zem Viņa kājām: (Psalmi 8:6)
Un visu ir nolicis zem Viņa kājām, un iedeva Viņu par Baznīcas Galvu pār visām lietām, Kas ir Viņa ķermenis, Tā pilnība, kas piepilda visu visā (Efeziešiem 1:22-23)
Kristū, 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). Nu, as long as you stay in Him, paklausīt Viņam, un staigā pēc gara. Because as soon as you leave the Word and trust and rely upon your own abilities, jauda, un intelekts, 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.
Slavēts lai ir mūsu Kunga Jēzus Kristus Dievs un Tēvs, kas mūs ir svētījis ar visām garīgajām svētībām debesu vietās Kristū (Efeziešiem 1:3)
Kamēr jūs paliekat Kristū un staigājat pēc Gara, 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, benefit, and kingdom, but for His honor, slava, 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, sludināt, and bring the Kingdom of God to the people on earth and use the keys of the Kingdom of heaven wisely through iesiešana un zaudēšana.
We often hear that church leaders (mācītāji, Pielūgsmes vadītāji, Pravieši, Apustuļiem, Uc.) fall into sin. Tāpēc, 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.
When you have krustā sita tavu miesu Kristū, then your flesh isn’t alive anymore but dead. Tāpēc, you shall not be led by your flesh, your carnal emotions, Jūtas, iekāres, vēlmes, and what your senses perceive.
Tomēr, 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, pārmācība, moral responsibility, and dying to self. Kāpēc? Because the flesh doesn’t like these sermons (Izlasi arī: Ziņa, kuru neviens nevēlas dzirdēt)
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.
If you sow in the flesh, you shall reap corruption. And that’s what is happening.
Many church leaders stay carnal and walk after the flesh. Rezultātā, church leaders fall into sin, un tieši to velns vēlas!
Velns zina, the bigger and the more famous a church leader, who falls into sin, the greater the damage to the church, the Name of Jesus, un Dieva Valstība.
Diemžēl, 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
Kā Dieva dēls (tas attiecas gan uz vīriešiem, gan uz sievietēm), you represent the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. Tāpēc, 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.
Tāpēc, you’ve got to know God’s Word to find out His will, likumu, un baušļi. 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, likumu (Gara likums), un baušļi.
Ir svarīgi, lai renew your old way of thinking, that thinks like the kingdom of this world, ar Dieva Vārdu, so that your mind will be renewed and will line up with God’s Word and His will. Bez tam:, it is essential to sargā savu prātu, 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 (īslaicīgi) to His Son and Jesus represents the will of His Father (Izlasi arī: ‘Dieva baušļi un Jēzus baušļi‘)
I can of mine own self do nothing: kā es dzirdu, Es spriežu: 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 (Metjū 11:27)
Then cometh the end, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, Pat tēvs; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. Jo viņam ir jāstājas spēkā, Līdz brīdim, kad viņš ir nolicis visus ienaidniekus zem kājām. Pēdējais ienaidnieks, kas tiks iznīcināts, ir nāve. Jo viņš ir nolicis visas lietas zem kājām. Bet, kad viņš saka, ka visas lietas tiek liktas zem viņa, tas ir acīmredzami, ka viņš ir izņēmums, kas visu lietu zem viņa lika. Un kad visas lietas viņam tiks pakļautas, Tad arī dēls būs pakļauts viņam pakļauties, kas noliek visas lietas zem viņa, ka Dievs var būt viss kopumā (1 korintieši 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.
Daudzas reizes, Christians say they believe. But when someone asks them a question about the Kingdom of God, they are not able to answer the question. Tas ir ļoti skumji! 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, sludināt evaņģēliju, izdzen dēmonus, dziedē slimos, and make disciples of all the nations. (Metjū 28:19, Marka 16:15-18).
Where darkness is present, there is chaos. Ja tur ir haoss, 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 (nepaklausība Dievam) un (nāvējošs) powers of darkness are operating.
The more the areas are possessed by demonic forces, the higher the rates of (seksuāla) ļaunprātīga izmantošana, vardarbība, nabadzība, slimība, epidēmijas, nešķīstība, šķiršanās, Uc.
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) jomās.
Tūlīt, 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. Tāpēc, 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.
And the seventy returned again with joy, sakot, Kungs, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. Un viņš tiem sacīja, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven (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, kas ir baznīca. Everything revolves around prayer. Because a praying church is a militant and victorious church. Through prayer, 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, Jēzus atnesa Dieva Valstību Dieva ļaudīm.
Jēzus priekšā’ krustā sišana, 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 Dieva pestīšanas darbs.
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. Šim nolūkam, Jesus has given the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven to His church.
