Over the past few weeks the Lord has really been impressing upon my heart that we are to get deeper and deeper into the message of Faith. To be honest with you, after so much teaching on this subject here at Gospel of Power Church, I feel the Lord saying we have just scratched the surface and He wants us to go deeper into this all important master Key in the Kingdom of God. You see beloved, the Kingdom of God operates on laws and principles that have been established by God in His word and they never change. Just as in the natural there are laws that govern, like the law of gravity, the law of sowing and reaping, so it is in the Kingdom of God. There are Laws that have been set in place which govern the functioning of God’s Kingdom here on earth. A law works all the time. For example the natural law of gravity will work 100% of the time and will not discriminate, if two people go up to a bridge and throw themselves of, the law of gravity will go into motion for both and they will fall to the ground every time, that is how a Law works. Well, in the Kingdom of God there is no difference, the laws and principles that God has left in His word will work all the time for whosoever puts them into practice. Jesus called these Laws, Keys. He said to Peter in Mathew 16:19 “And I will give to you the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; and whatsoever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven”. Now, what does a Key do? A key opens doors. We know that God is not going to throw natural looking Keys from heaven on to our laps and then expect us to open spiritual doors. We can change the word Key in this verse and put the word revelation, laws, principals. What Jesus was telling Peter and the Church is that He would release revelation and laws into our hands that will empower us to open spiritual doors that will enter us into the greater realms that He has prepared for us. 1 Corinthians 2:9 says the following “But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that Love Him, BUT God has revealed them unto us by His Spirit”. What does all this have to do with faith? I believe that Faith is one of, if not the most important keys in the Kingdom of God, therefore we must get serious about our desire to get it, learn about it and receive knowledge of how it functions and is released.
