Kingdom Authority: Pt 5 (11.13.19)

Matthew 16:13-19

 It is important that we have a revelation of who Jesus is. Only then can we reconcile the world’s ignorance of Jesus.

 Any time you don’t understand something’s purpose, abuse is inevitable.

 If you make church about anything other than Jesus, you have made it about the wrong thing. The word of God is even the revelation of Jesus. The revelation of Jesus is the end result of the ministry of the word and God’s spirit.

 Compare: Matthew 16:19 and Psalms 119:89

 God has given us the keys to the Kingdom that allows us to bind and loose and it shall be so in Heaven and on earth (Matthew 16:19), however, we need to set our mouth in alignment with what God has already spoken because His word is forever settled in Heaven (Psalms 119:89).

 Binding and loosing has been taken out of context. You can call a thing that be not as though it were if you have scripture on it and it doesn’t violate God’s word.


Matthew 24:35

 What we bind and lose on earth has principles. It has to agree with the word.

When we pray the Matthew 6:9 prayer, we are calling on God’s will to be done in the earth. If it were automatic, Jesus wouldn’t have taught us to pray this way.

 The keys to the kingdom bind and loose. A key opens a door and a key locks a door. You need to know what needs to be opened and what needs to be locked. You cannot lock something you weren’t given the authority to lock and you cannot open something you weren’t given the authority to open.

We cannot use a key on earth that wasn’t cut in Heaven. To bind on earth, you have to know what’s already been bound in Heaven.


Psalms 119:89

 The word of God was already in Heaven and time has allowed it to be unveiled.

 Words were God’s first creation. He used words to create everything after He spoke them. There was no manifestation of anything without God speaking them. He created words to manifest His creative power.


1 John 5:7


Deuteronomy 17:18

 For anyone to operate in God’s kingdom, he must know what is written as law (the bible) in God’s kingdom?

 How can we endorse a person who violates the Bible? How could you advance an agenda that violates the word.


1 Samuel 10:25

 Jesus’ authority is in his word!

 In this passage, Samuel told the people the “manner” of the kingdom.

 The word has to be in your heart and your mouth.


“Because I will publish the name of the Lord : ascribe ye greatness unto our God. My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.”
Deuteronomy 32:1-3

 His doctrine is His teaching. He sends His word into the earth.

 “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.”
Isaiah 55:8-11

 Know and pray the word!

Psalm 149:9 – Execute means to carry out and get done.

Hosea 4:6 says that we are destroyed for a lack of knowledge. Isaiah 5:13 says we go into bondage for a lack of knowledge.


1 Kings 2:1-4

 David states that as long as the next king does not waiver from the word, he would be successful.

 When we got a new word we got a new set of keys that wouldn’t work.

 Now we walk around asking where is God and when will we hear from Heaven? The answer is, when we get the right set of keys.

 Two keys that every believer needs in their pocket is the name of Jesus and the word of God. When those keys are being excised, the Holy Spirit will enforce what is spoken.

 The right set of keys will bring about the right results.
