The Keys are in your mouth

EXHORTATION through the BOOK OF LIFE
Scripture to ponder on:
“I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
Matthew 16:19 ASV
THE KEYS ARE IN YOUR MOUTH
The Greek text of this scripture would literally 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 heaven.”
The heaven Jesus spoke of is not the heaven where God resides. He was speaking of the battlefield, the heaven where Satan’s forces operate.
He told us that God has given us, through His Word, the power to bind evil spirits in heavenly places and to release God's angelic powers to work for us.
Philippians 2:9-10 says, “Therefore God also highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth.” Where? In heaven, on earth, and under the earth. It covers everything!
As a Christian, you have complete authority through the Word over the powers of Satan. You can take authority over the evil spirits that are trying to destroy your nation, your destiny. You can take authority over them in the Name of Jesus and demolish their strongholds.
It is time we realize our importance in world affairs. From the day Jesus entrusted us with the Great Commission, the life or death of the world is in the hands of the Church. We are the ones who have the powerful Name of Jesus and the formidable strength of the Gospel to bring life and abundance to every creature. We are the ones whose prayers can change every position of authority in our countries.
It is up to you and me to begin interceding now and to use the power God has given us. We may come from different countries and different backgrounds, but we all have one thing in common: Jesus Christ is our Lord. And this alone is enough to transform the spiritual state of this earth.
So today, wake up!
Jesus’ beloved !
AMEN & AMEN 🙏🏾🙏🏾!!
