“I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is already loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:19 Amplified

When you purchase a home, you’re given a key to that house. How silly would it be for you to tell everyone you own the house but never open the door and move in? What good is a home if you don’t live there? How foolish would it look for you to pitch a tent in the yard while the enjoyment of the home lays beyond the door.

Jesus gave us the keys to the Kingdom but we don’t use the keys to unlock the gate and live Kingdom lives. We talk about it, but we live outside the gate, pointing our fingers, ‘This is my eternal home. This is where I’m gonna live someday and have peace and joy and lack nothing!’ But He gave us keys to enjoy in that life now. He wants us to live in wholeness now, not when we get to heaven in the sweet by and by.

It’s time to begin reading the Word and believing what we read. Let’s bind up sickness and disease and loose healing and wholeness. Let’s bind up poverty and loose increase. Let’s not pray it once and say it just doesn’t work for me! Use the power given and contend for what is rightfully ours. Let’s bind the strong man everyday, reminding him of what is written. Let’s worship and give thanks for the Kingdom that’s within us!

Let’s live as we’re intended to live now and give the devil a faceful of Word every time he tries to take what rightfully belongs to us.
