The Power of Keys

Revelation 12:11 NKJV

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

Matthew 16:19 NKJV

And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

19

Matthew 16:18–19 NKJV

And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

Revelation 12:7–12 NKJV

7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”

Matt

Keys are important objects in our daily lives, though never give them a second thought. They open doors, and beyond those doors are things that provide us with comfort or happiness and security. Without our house keys, for instance, we wouldn’t be able to get into our homes and see our families. Without our car keys, we could not operate our automobiles, and wouldn’t get anywhere. Without the keys to our safe, we wouldn’t be able to get the important things we’ve kept hidden and locked away.

Keys are powerful symbols in any story. They symbolize opening and closing powers—for instance, when a character might use a key to lock someone in, depriving that person of his freedom. Or the character might use a key to unlock the door and free whoever is inside.

These are just examples to show the physical power of a key. But keys also have metaphysical powers and symbolism's. They represent knowledge, mystery, initiation and curiosity.

Mystery and intrigue comes in the form of secrets hidden behind locked chests, or locked doors. Knowledge can be in the form of a secret learned, wisdom unlocked through discovery. When someone is initiated into a secret society, they are given knowledge that was previously hidden to them, and allowed into the folds of a life they only imagined behind closed doors.

Keys can also mean initiation into a new way of life, or a way into some form of success. A family who just bought a house are handed keys to their new homes.

A woman who has purchased the car of her dreams is lifted into a whole new status when she is handed the car keys.

A man who just won the lottery holds the key to a bright future in the form of the lottery ticket.

Keys are also a status symbol—the more keys one has, the more properties they have.

More importantly, keys can be a symbol of power. When the mayor hands the keys to the city to a hero, it means that the hero has risen from a mere citizen to an influential and important part of the community.

When someone gives you the keys to their heart, you hold power over them, whether they like it or not.

“Love is the master key which opens the gates of happiness.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes

“The Key to wisdom is knowing all the right questions.” – John A. Simone Sr.

“Love is the master key which opens the gates of happiness.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes

“All our lives we live in chains and never even know we hold the key.”

“Love is everything. It is the key to life, and its influences are those that move the world.” Ralph Waldo Trine

“To hide the key to your heart is to risk forgetting where you placed it.” – Timothy Childers

“Love is everything. It is the key to life, and its influences are those that move the world.” Ralph Waldo Trine

“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.”– Herman Cain

John 10:10 NKJV

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Jesus who is the living Word is saying to you and to me, that He is not just concerned with you living, but that He wants you to live an abundant life!

There may be a lot of reasons that you are not living an abundant life, but only on solution, can you say Jesus?

Wiersbe’s Expository Outlines on the New Testament Chapter 12

What an enemy Satan is! In heaven, Satan had been accusing the saints; but the saints had overcome him with three weapons: (1) the blood, which cleanses us of all sin, 1 John 1:9–2:2; (2) the Word, which assures us of forgiveness and is the sword of the Spirit; and (3) their surrender, for they would rather die than obey Satan.

Before Christ came the sins of the world was still an issue. God was pacified but he wasn't satisfied. They offered up to Him the blood of the bullocks, and the blood of lambs, and the blood of goats. They offered up meal offerings and wave offerings, and drink offerings, feast of weeks, and feast of Pentecost, and feast of unleavened bread, it soothed God, but it had not satisfied God. It pacified him, but it had not ended the sin issue.

All of the lambs that was slain, from Genesis to the Gospel of Saint Matthew all of them collectively could not satisfied the debt that sin laid upon us. When we had come to a point of being born in sin and shape in iniquity. But look at Jesus, who went in once and for all, and settled the sin issue. He was the only priest that was the offerer and the offering. He went in by himself for himself, and perfect it forever them that are sanctify. Only your God could be the priest and the offering, could be Alpha and Omega, could be beginning and the end, it could be the first and the last. He was the offerer and the offering, and then turned around and received what was offered up.

And that's why he said, no man takes my life. But I lay down and if I lay down. I will pick it back up again. I'm going over into the enemy's camp, and they whipped him, on the whipping post, and he said, I can't die on the whipping post, because if I die on the whipping post nobody will be saved, because the Bible said, cursed is he who hangs upon a tree. And if I die on the post, I won't deliver the world from sin, the devil tried to kill Him halfway up Calvary's hill; he stumbled and fell and got a black man to carry His cross. He told him to just hold it a little while, until like it to the top of the hill. When he got up there, the prophet Isaiah said behold He cometh as a Lamb to the shearer he humbled himself. He became obedient until it to, even the death of the cross.

Touch somebody and tell he died. He died until the sun refused to shine. He died until the earth got nervous and said I can't take it anymore. He died until the veil in the temple was rent in two. He died until the law turned loose and went to grace. It he died until curses is turned into blessings. It he died until the centurion said, surely this was the Son of God. It he died until the thief said, remember me, when you, come into your kingdom. It he died until graves opened up all over Jerusalem.

Touch somebody and tell them he died.

The Blood was shed for my sin!

It, I am so glad for the -blood that was shed for my sins. Had Jesus just laid there on the cross, we wouldn't have a message to preach. Where they made their mistake was when they lifted him up. If they hadn't lifted him up, we wouldn't be sitting here this morning. But I heard Jesus say, if I be lifted up from the earth, I'll draw all men unto me. Black men and whiten men, rich man and poor man. He said, if I be lifted up, I'll draw all men unto me.

Let me tell you about the blood!

The virgin birth of Christ established His righteousness.

Judas cried out. “I have betrayed innocent blood.”

Paul explained, “For He (God) hath made Him (Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.”

Pilate said, “I find in him no fault at all.”

Jesus Himself said, “Which of you convinceth me of sin?”

John added, “in Him is no sin.”

Again, “Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth.”

John added, “in Him is no sin.”

A natural father would have imparted the sin-nature of Adam to Christ and His death would not have provided redemption. The virgin birth is absolutely essential to the salvation of our souls.

It certainly was a new thing for a woman without a man to give birth to a child. The Adamic nature is passed to the offspring by the blood line of the man. There were no impurities in the blood of Christ. Everything about Christ was perfect including His blood. So then in Analysis the blood is perfect!

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

It certainly was a new thing for a woman without a man to give birth to a child. The Adamic nature is passed to the offspring by the blood line of the man. There were no impurities in the blood of Christ. Everything about Christ was perfect including His blood. So then in Analysis the blood is perfect!

The writer of Hebrews stated, “For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” ,

When the pure blood of the Saviour is applied to the sinner, it provides cleansing. John explained, “The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.” .

“What can wash away my sin?

Nothing but the Blood of Jesus

What can make me whole again?

Nothing but the Blood of Jesus

Oh, precious is the flow

That makes me white as snow

No other fount I know

Nothing but the Blood of Jesus.

Peter wrote, “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things…but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” ,

And because it is pure, it is purifying! So then in application the blood is pure!

It's something about understanding that without the blood there will be no satisfying of God, there will be no pleasing God. And we need to go back to understanding the power of the blood. Not Goosebumps not nursery rhymes but the power that's in the blood. Somebody say the blood.

Your are not just fighting me, you are fighting the blood.

Before Christ came the sins of the world was still an issue. God was pacified but he wasn't satisfied. They offered up to Him the blood of the bullocks, and the blood of lambs, and the blood of goats. They offered up meal offerings and wave offerings, and drink offerings, feast of weeks, and feast of Pentecost, and feast of unleavened bread, it soothed God, but it had not satisfied God. It pacified him, but it had not ended the sin issue.

Devil, you’re not just fighting me. You are fighting the blood. Once the blood falls on you it will give you a voice. When the blood falls on you, you can communicate in the heavenlies. Once the blood falls on you will open your mouth. When you get a good dose of the blood it will make you speak up. You don't have to take the devil junk. You don't have to live beneath his bondage. The blood will change your running habits, the blood, the blood, the blood will make you spin around on the bar stool in the middle of the night. The blood will make you leave, the hotel in the middle of the night. The blood will make you hang up on an old lover. The blood will make you throw away lottery tickets. The blood will make you throw away a bag of dope. The blood will make you flush it down the toilet. Touch somebody and say, the blood!

All of the lambs that was slain, from Genesis to the Gospel of Saint Matthew all of them collectively could not satisfied the debt that sin laid upon us. When we had come to a point of being born in sin and shape in iniquity. But look at Jesus, who went in once and for all, and settled the sin issue. He was the only priest that was the offerer and the offering. He went in by himself for himself, and perfect it forever them that are sanctify. Only your God could be the priest and the offering, could be Alpha and Omega, could be beginning and the end, it could be the first and the last. He was the offerer and the offering, and then turned around and received what was offered up.

The blood that's what I came to preach, power is in the blood deliverance is in the blood, healing is in the blood, life is in the blood, Joy is in the blood, the blood, somebody thank God for the blood

And that's why he said, no man takes my life. But I lay down and if I lay down. I will pick it back up again. I'm going over into the enemy's camp, and they whipped him, on the whipping post, and he said, I can't die on the whipping post, because if I die on the whipping post nobody will be saved, because the Bible said, cursed is he who hangs upon a tree. And if I die on the post, I won't deliver the world from sin, the devil tried to kill Him halfway up Calvary's hill; he stumbled and fell and got a black man to carry His cross. He told him to just hold it a little while, until like it to the top of the hill. When he got up there, the prophet Isaiah said behold He cometh as a Lamb to the shearer he humbled himself. He became obedient until it to, even the death of the cross.

I know it's old-fashioned, but I thank God for the blood, you go ahead and thank him for your Mercedes, but I thank him for the blood. Thank him for your silk dress, but I thank him for the blood. You thank him for your companion, but I thank him for the blood. You thank him for your companion, but I thank him for the blood. I thank God for the blood. The blood delivered me, the blood clean to me up, the blood set me free, and the blood washed me, the blood. It's a better than Confucius, is better than Mohammed, the blood is my high power, the blood!

He Died!

Touch somebody and tell he died. He died until the sun refused to shine. He died until the earth got nervous and said I can't take it anymore. He died until the veil in the temple was rent in two. He died until the law turned loose and went to grace. It he died until curses is turned into blessings. It he died until the centurion said, surely this was the Son of God. It he died until the thief said, remember me, when you, come into your kingdom. It he died until graves opened up all over Jerusalem.

The Blood was shed for my sin!

Touch somebody and tell them he died.

The Blood was shed for my sin!

It, I am so glad for the -blood that was shed for my sins. Had Jesus just laid there on the cross, we wouldn't have a message to preach. Where they made their mistake was when they lifted him up. If they hadn't lifted him up, we wouldn't be sitting here this morning. But I heard Jesus say, if I be lifted up from the earth, I'll draw all men unto me. Black men and whiten men, rich man and poor man. He said, if I be lifted up, I'll draw all men unto me.

Will somebody help me life Jesus!

The writer of Hebrews speaks of Christ as one, “Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.”

Again Paul tells us that it was, “Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.”

Then again, “But now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.”

The Bible states, “But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God.”

The death of Christ set into motion a continuous cleansing for those who trust in Him. We are given the gift of eternal life that He purchased with His blood. Thank God we are washed once and for all, forever.

The Bible speaks of the “blood of the everlasting Covenant.” .

Our faith in His blood is all it takes to settle it forever and ever! So then in action the blood is perpetual.

John wrote, “Thou hast redeemed us to God by thy blood.”

It takes amazing power to do that! We are told that they overcame the wicked one, Satan, by the blood of the Lamb.

It takes a lot of power to do that, too! So then in accomplishment the blood is Powerful!

The song writer wrote:

Would you be free from the burden of sin?

There is power in the Blood

Would you over evil a victory win?

There’s wonderful power in the Blood

There is power, power wonder working power

In the Blood of the Lamb

There is power, power wonder working power

In the precious Blood of the Lamb

I thank God for the blood this morning. The blood fell on me and I opened up my mouth. The blood did it, the blood did it, and the blood did it. I feel like preaching, the blood did it. I thank him for the blood. I want the Devil to know. Satan the blood is against you, put your hands together, and praise the Lord.

Your are not just fighting me, you are fighting the blood.

Devil, you’re not just fighting me. You are fighting the blood. Once the blood falls on you it will give you a voice. When the blood falls on you, you can communicate in the heavenlies. Once the blood falls on you will open your mouth. When you get a good dose of the blood it will make you speak up. You don't have to take the devil junk. You don't have to live beneath his bondage. The blood will change your running habits, the blood, the blood, the blood will make you spin around on the bar stool in the middle of the night. The blood will make you leave, the hotel in the middle of the night. The blood will make you hang up on an old lover. The blood will make you throw away lottery tickets. The blood will make you throw away a bag of dope. The blood will make you flush it down the toilet. Touch somebody and say, the blood!

The blood that's what I came to preach, power is in the blood deliverance is in the blood, healing is in the blood, life is in the blood, Joy is in the blood, the blood, somebody thank God for the blood

I know it's old-fashioned, but I thank God for the blood, you go ahead and thank him for your Mercedes, but I thank him for the blood. Thank him for your silk dress, but I thank him for the blood. You thank him for your companion, but I thank him for the blood. You thank him for your companion, but I thank him for the blood. I thank God for the blood. The blood delivered me, the blood clean to me up, the blood set me free, and the blood washed me, the blood. It's a better than Confucius, is better than Mohammed, the blood is my high power, the blood!

“Acquit” is a heavy word…it means to pay off, to free, to clear, to absolve. It has a far reaching meaning extending from the past all the way to the future.

OJ Simpson was acquitted of murder, and it can never come back on him now in a court of law. Not even “new evidence” can be presented.

You say, yeah, but I don’t believe justice was done.

Well, neither do I… but you and I are guilty and we know it…and we don’t want justice, we want mercy! And we need it to be permanent…sins forgiven AND forgotten! “His mercies are new every morning,” the Bible says.

Not only our past sin was covered but also our present and future sins are put under the blood when we trust in Christ as Savior.

Jesus’ blood cleanses from our past sins. Isaiah said, “I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.”

David spoke to this when he stated, “As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us.

He promised not to remember them again. “I will remember them no more against you forever.”

Jesus’ blood covers our present sins, both the sins of omission and the sins of commission. Whether it be things we ought to be doing and are not doing or whether it be things we are doing that we ought not to be doing. These are covered fully by His Blood atonement.

Jesus’ blood continues to atone for future sins. This is not to say we can just go ahead and sin…a truly saved person won’t have that attitude. But we can know that despite our very best efforts, we are sinners, and will yet sin, but we don’t have to get saved again. Do we need to confess it to God and make it right? Of course! As we continue to walk thru this life we’ll need daily foot washings, but praise God that one time “all over bath” secures us from all sin: past, present, and future!

I know we’re all modern today and we’ve got access to the libraries of the world at our finger tips. We can flip on the TV any time night or day and hear someone preaching or teaching the word.

We’ve got the bible on our tablets, our I pads, and I phones, and our cell phones, we can study the Hebrew and the Greek meaning of bible words right from our cell phones,

Our grandma’s and grandpa’s didn’t have access to all the modern conveniences and technology we have today (But they had something we have lost in our modern high tech church age (They understood the importance of living under the blood of Jesus).

Those old timers would do something they would call: Plead the Blood, I plead the blood. They would plead the blood on everything: The house, the car, the cat, the dog, the chickens, the hogs, the garden,)

They might not have understood it: But That word is actually a legal term (It was an answer to a judgment) The judge would say: You have been charged with such and such a crime, how do you plead?

That means that the Judge was asking: What is your defense to this and the accused would answer I (plead) guilty, or not guilty by reason of insanity, or I plead the fifth.

Well that legal proceeding carries over into the Spirit realm: When the devil comes around (saying you have been accused of such and such a crime, and the devil says you have sinned and come short of the glory of God)

What is your defense?

That is when you look the devil in the eye and you square your shoulders back and you say: I Plead The Blood

I plead the Blood, The blood is my defense, the blood speaks for me

Shake your neighbor real good and tell them: I plead the blood!

“The Blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin.”

Jesus’ blood conquers all sin!

We love to sing, “Oh precious is the flow that makes me white as snow. No other fount I know. Nothing but the Blood of Jesus.”

Peter used the term precious to describe the Blood of Christ. He said, “But with the precious Blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.”

No blood (no salvation)

No blood (no justification)

No blood (no deliverance)

No blood (no sanctification)

No blood (no oil)

No blood (no power)

No blood (no anointing)

No blood (no peace)

No blood (no authority)

No blood (no joy)

No blood (no protection)

So then in appraisal the Blood is precious!

In the blood was sprinkled on the door posts of the Jewish homes just as the Lord had instructed them. When the death angel came on that faithful night with the awful judgment of death to the first born the Jews were protected by the blood.

It was actually their faith that brought protection. They believed the Word the Lord had given to Moses. They believed it enough to act on it. By following the directions just as the Lord instructed they reaped a great benefit.

God had said, “The blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.”

And it is by and because of that same blood that we are saved today.

We are washed by that blood

We are sanctified by that blood

We are justified by that blood

We are redeemed by that blood

We are protected by that blood

We are delivered by that blood

Our conscience is cleansed by that blood

We are healed by that blood

No wonder the song writer was moved to pen the words:

There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel's veins and sinners plunged beneath the flood lose all their guilty stains.

If the blood is the first key then the next key is word of their testimony!

Revelation 12:11 NKJV

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

Sticks and stones make break my bones but words can never hurt me, was the nursery rhyme that I heard the kids say on the school yard but in life nothing could be further from the truth! I have come to believe that ‘Words’ are one of the most powerful forces available to mankind. The question then becomes will we choose to use this powerful God given force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy, power and life with the ability to help, to heal, or to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble.

It would be wise for us to think long and hard before we us this ‘powerful force’ of the speech, in order to discipline ourselves to speak in ways that conveys respect, gentleness and humility; because one of the tell-tale signs of a mature person is correct speech.

Many people are compelled to give voice to any passing feeling, thought or impression they have. They randomly dump the contents of their mind without regard to the significance of what they are saying.

Their Testimony is what they say out of their mouths!

Your life is at the mercy of your mouth.

Your mouth is the rudder of your life.

Your mouth organizes and directs your life.

Life opens in the direction of your mouth.

Don’t close your mouth if you don’t want your life to close.

Your mouth to describe your situation. Rather use it to declare your expectation.

Don’t use your mouth to describe your situation. Rather use it to declare your expectation.

your mouth to describe your situation. Rather use it to declare your expectation.

God is committed to perform only what your mouth releases.

The greatest discipline in life is the discipline of the tongue.

Psalm 119:50 NKJV

This is my comfort in my affliction, For Your word has given me life.

Matthew 13:3–9 NKJV

Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: “Behold, a sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them. Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth. But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them. But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

Seeds multiply so you must sow the right things.

Words are the seed to feelings

Forgiveness is the seed to relationships

Honor is the seed to access

Gratitude is the seed to more

Your offering is a seed. , ,

Seed security…

The Parable of the Sower reveals that seed can be vulnerable to birds, weeds, elements, etc. I believe that there are two areas that we must work on to make sure that we secure our seed.

1. Protect our seed from the enemy.

The enemy knows that if he can steal your seed he can deny your harvest. We must constantly protect our seed! He will work overtime to destroy your seed. He is on a seed stealing assignment. It is in his job description that he will kill, STEAL, and destroy. No seed – no harvest!

Watch this church our children are our seed! No seed – no harvest!

I have news for you today! Good seed won’t turn bad soil good. Some of you continue to plant in bad soil hoping the seed will overtake the soil, but the seed is overtaken by the soil. You are wasting seed! For instance, that is why we are told that believers aren’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers . . . soil usually overtakes the seed! What does this mean?

Quit going to bars looking for a godly spouse! Quit dating sinners hoping that you can turn them into saints. Quit playing the lottery hoping for a righteous harvest. Quit drinking hoping that you will find an answer to your problems in the bottle.

That soil won’t produce a good harvest. Quit hanging around doubters they are soil that will kill your dream. . . the soil affects your harvest!

Not only do we need to protect the seed from the enemy, but we need to protect the seed from our own selves!

If we are not careful we are our own worst enemy. We will eat our own seed if we are not careful. We get so focused on us that we forget that our seed isn’t just about us and outlives us!

Don’t eat your seed! Elijah and widow. The widow had a choice to make. She could eat now and live today and die tomorrow. Or she should could sow it into the prophet and watch as the harvest impacts her and her family for months on end.

We have to gain some far sightedness when it comes to our seed. WE CANNOT ALLOW THE NEED OF THE MOMENT TO BECOME SO PRESSING THAT WE LOSE SIGHT OF TOMORROW’S HARVEST. We must learn the art of living with our feet into day, but with an eye towards what is coming.

Once seed is used it is gone. We can’t afford to waste the seed. Too many of us are so short sighted that we eat our seed! Our seed should reach beyond just us! Does anything you sow into outlive, outreach, or benefit someone other than you?

If not, you are eating your seed; We need to pray and ask God to help us protect our seed from the enemy of our soul! We also need to pray and ask God to help us protect our seed from ourselves.

Romans 12:1–2 NKJV

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Romans 12

Psalm 119:9 NKJV

How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word.

psalm 119

Ephesians 6:17 NKJV

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

Numbers 14:28 NKJV

Say to them, ‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you:

Isaiah 44:26 NKJV

Who confirms the word of His servant, And performs the counsel of His messengers; Who says to Jerusalem, ‘You shall be inhabited,’ To the cities of Judah, ‘You shall be built,’ And I will raise up her waste places;

Mark 11:24 NKJV

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

So then if their testimony is the second key to victory then the third and final key is...

Revelation 12:11 The Message

They defeated him through the blood of the Lamb and the bold word of their witness. They weren’t in love with themselves; they were willing to die for Christ.

The Power of Keys

Why are Keys so important?

He Died!

Lets look the first key to our victory the Blood!

In analysis the blood is perfect

In application the blood is pure!

In action the blood is perpetual!

In accomplishment the blood is powerful!

In acquittal the blood is permanent!

The word is life!

The Word is transformative!

The Word is Cleansing!

The Word is a weapon
