You Have the Keys

Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. (Matthew 18:18)

When Jesus rose from the dead, He gave believers the keys of the kingdom of heaven. If you are given keys, it means you have the authority to use those keys. What do keys do? They lock and unlock things. They bind and they loose.

Bind means to tie up. Have you ever seen the rodeo? In the rodeo, cowboys lasso a young steer and tie up their front and hind legs so they can’t move. That’s the idea of what you and I are called to do to demonic powers or any of the plans of the enemy. Demons don’t stand a chance against you when you use your kingdom keys.

Christians sometimes focus on binding the devil, but Jesus told us to do more than that. We are supposed to loose angels to work on our behalf and help us accomplish God’s will. Then, loose angels by speaking God’s Word. Psalm 103:20 says angels hearken to the voice of God’s Word. Too many angels are inactive because believers aren’t speaking God’s Word and releasing them to do what God created them to do. Hebrews 1:14 says they are ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation. They are ministers for you; they have been assigned and are waiting for you to loose them to do their job.

When something happens that frustrates you, scares you, or tries to get your emotions into a spin, use your authority and verbally bind the works of the enemy. You have the keys. When you need strength, support, or direction, command your angels to go before you and prepare your way by speaking God’s Word. You have the keys to bind and loose on the earth; now, go ahead and use them!
