SPEAKER_02 0:01

You can't have keys except they go to lock or unlock something. Jesus here deals. First of all, how many of y'all know that we're in spiritual warfare? If you don't know that we're in spiritual warfare, you're in trouble already. We're in spiritual warfare. But the enemy is not gonna win. The only way that he's gonna win is that you have allowed to allow him to win. And it's not gonna happen anymore. Jesus began to have a discourse with his disciples. And uh he began to uh deal with them about the doctrine or the teachings of the Pharisees and the Sadducees. Their teaching and their doctrine was basically hypocritical. And they basically would say, Don't do as we do, but do as we say. Now, they were teachers and studies of the law, but yet they did not know who the Lord was. They missed their time of visitation when Jesus came among them. Jesus often rebuked them. And uh he says to us as a people except your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and the Pharisees, you will be in no wise saved. Because they were unrighteous. And we know that our own righteousness is as but filthy rash. And we know that we have his righteousness when we yield ourselves to him and get born again of the water and of the spirit, as the Bible teaches. Oh, yes, and then it is his righteousness we get right with God. Therefore, now being justified by faith, we now have made peace with God. Anybody at peace with God? Or is God at peace with you? And so he deals with them. And in verse 13, he says, When Jesus came into the coast of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples a question. And the question that the Lord wanted to know is, what do men say that I, the Son of Man, is? He wanted to know what are people saying about me. What are people saying about me? The Lord wanted to know. He wanted to know the audience that he was around. What are they saying? What are they saying about me? And he wasn't asking that because he already knew what they were saying. But he was trying to make the disciples to be aware and tried to test their knowledge of God. The Bible teaches us that my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Not that they're not getting knowledge, but they reject the knowledge that they're getting. That's why it's imperative for us to come into church Sunday after Sunday, amen, that what we're hearing, that we put it in practical application. Somebody say amen. It won't work for you if you're just listening to it. Don't put it to application. It's not gonna work, nothing wrong with the word. The word is right all by itself. But with the word not being put in practical application, that you're not living out the word, walking out the word, doing what the word says, then it won't work for you. Because you resisted doing what God said to do. And so he wanted to know uh who are they saying that I am? What are they saying? And they said, some say that you are John the Baptist. And uh so they were way off. I'm gonna take the time. I don't have much say. Some say, I'm gonna wait on the Lord. I preach by inspiration of the Holy Ghost. And uh aspiratory preach is what I'm doing, verse by verse. But somewhere in between there, God's gonna give us revelation. And so, and so they wanted to know. Uh they said you're John the Baptist. John the Baptist was beheaded. Some said that you are Elias or Elijah, or others say you're Jeremiah, or you're one of the prophets, but the Lord was much more than a prophet.

unknown 5:07

Yes, he was.

SPEAKER_02 5:08

He was God in the flesh. He was the Son of God, he was he, which was and which is and is to come. He's the Almighty God. He came from 42 generations from Abraham. The promise that was made in Genesis was now fulfilled in Christ. That to the serpent, that the woman's seed should bruise his head, and his head shall bruise his heel was the prophecy of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Don't let no one tell you that Jesus is not in the Old Testament. Jesus all through the Old Testament and the New Testament. Yes, for unto us a child was born, unto us a son was given. Amen. He's all through the scriptures. The Bible tells us that that that that rock that followed them in the wilderness, that that rock was Christ. The Bible teaches us. All through the scriptures. And so he was telling them, uh, or one of the other prophets, and he said unto them, but wait a minute. But who do you say that I am? It's one thing that other people have missed the mark, and they don't know who I am. But who do you say that I am? What am I to you? Who do you say I am? Am I your provider? Am I your healer? Am I your deliverer? Am I your strong tower? When Thomas saw him and saw the nail prints in his hand and the sword pierced in his side, Thomas fell on his knees and said, My Lord and my God. Who do you say that he is? Who is he to you? If I would put the question on you in the congregation this morning, who do you say that Jesus is? Who do you say I am? I say he's the great I am that I am. I say he's the creator that spoke everything in existence. I said when Ezekiel saw him, he was the wheel in the middle of the wheel. I say that when Songs of Solomon and Solomon wrote, he said he's the rose of Sharon. He's the lily of the valley, he's the bright and morning star. Who do you say that he is? He's my redeemer kinsman in the book of Ruth. Hallelujah. Yes. He's the scepter that shall not depart from Judah till Shiloh come. He's the great sacrifice that came to redeem his people. Who do you say he is? Is he your helper? Is he your everything, Deacon Fred said? Who do you say that he is? He's my way maker. Yes. He keeps me. He that keeps Israel neither sleeps nor slumbers. Who do you say that he is? What does he mean to you? That's what the Lord wanted to know from his disciples. I've been with you for three and a half years. Now you'd have heard what everybody else said, but what are you saying? He tells him, What do you say? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the anointed one, the Messiah, the Son of the Living God. Yes. The Son of the Living God. Yet it is God in Christ. Reconciling the world back to Him. God come into the world to redeem mankind. Without the mystery of controversy, great is the mystery of godliness. God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the spirit, preached on unto the world, believed on unto the world, and received up in the glory. God made that body. And eternal God, who's a spirit, got in that body. That's why Jesus would say, When you see me, you see the Father. Me and the Father are one. Hero Israel. The Lord our God is one. He came unto his own. Glory to God. And his own received him not. But as many that did receive him, to them he gave the power to become the sons of God. Even to them that believe on his name. Anybody believe on his name? I need about three of them that really believe on that name. Who do you say that he is? His name is Jesus.

SPEAKER_01 10:46

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 10:56

Now the Sadducees, the Pharisees, the scribes, the lawyers, they all knew the Old Testament writings and scriptures. But their own knowledge and education caused them to miss who the Lord is. See, you can be so smart that you can be dumb. You can be so smart. But you can be dumb. And when you're smart that you're dumb, they call that stupid. That's true though. That's true. So they missed it because they thought and they talked like ain't sure no good thing come out of uh out of out of Nazareth. They missed it because they weren't open to receive what God had for them. How many of y'all are open to receive what God had for you? See, when you're open to receive the truth of God's word, then God bless you with something. And God gives you power. The only way you can become the son of God, you got to have power with God. To those that believed on his name, to them, he gave the power to become the sons of God. Even to them that believed on his name. I believe on the name. Tell somebody I believe on the name. Now, now you you you better tell them what the name is for they think you're talking about another name. I believe on the name of Jesus. I want you to know what name I'm talking about. I'm talking about Jesus Christ. Let me get a little bit more personal. Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Now they act like they didn't want to talk to you. They didn't want to believe on that name. You better turn to somebody else. Talk about that name. Jesus. The one that possesses everything. The one that's able to do all things. The one that's able to keep you from falling. And to present you faultless before his coming. The one that's able to put food on your table. The one that's able to heal your body. The one that's able to regulate your mind. This one that's able to comfort you at night. The one that's able to encourage you to keep on living for God. The one that's able to give you the assurance that he's with you always even to the ends of the world. I'm talking about that Jesus. That Jesus. Talking about that Jesus that went to the cross for me. That Jesus. That Jesus. But shed his blood for us, that Jesus. But rose again on the third day. With all power. I'm talking about that Jesus. That Jesus. That said, Behold, I'm with you. Always till the ends of the world. That Jesus that said, it's expedient that I go away. But I will not leave you comfortless. And Jesus said, I'm coming back for the church. I'm talking about that Jesus. That Jesus, when I was way down, lifted me back up. That Jesus, when I didn't know where to go, received me to him. That Jesus, when I didn't have any hope. That Jesus stepped in my life. That Jesus that took control of my tongue. And I began to speak in another language. And the Spirit of God gave me utterance. I'm talking about that Jesus that is able to heal. That Jesus that's able to deliver. That Jesus that's able to save. Y'all act like y'all don't know that Jesus in here. Y'all watching me like y'all don't know that Jesus. I'm talking about don't look at me. I'm talking about that Jesus. Don't watch me. I'm talking about that Jesus. The one that picked you up when you were way down. The one that helped you when nobody else could. That Jesus that wiped away your tears. That Jesus that delivered you. Delivered you from alcohol. Delivered you from drugs. Delivered you from fornicating. Delivered you, amen, from living up a kind of life. That Jesus. That Jesus. That's able to keep me from all the tricks of the devil. That Jesus. That Jesus. That Jesus. Yeah, y'all not can cause me to lose all my win. That Jesus. Either you got them or you don't. Either you recognize them or you don't. Either you suck up, celebrate them or you won't. You either you either shout, powder, get out. That Jesus. But I feel a shout in here about that Jesus. You have every right to shout about your Jesus. If the person sitting next to you is taking your shout, you better move. You better move. If that person sitting next to you is holding you back from shouting, you better move. Because Jesus is worthy of the praise. He's worthy of the glory. That Jesus is worthy of a body. That Jesus. That you better take with you wherever you go. And make sure you got a hold of him. And he got a hold of you. That Jesus. And I write about it. I'm talking about that Jesus. I'm not talking about a figment of your imagination. I'm talking about that one that I felt this morning. Hallelujah. That what I feel when I talk about his goodness. That Jesus. That quickens me. That Jesus that loves me.

unknown 17:38

Glory to God.

SPEAKER_02 17:40

Glory. Yes. Hallelujah. Glory to God. The Bible says. Simon said, Who are you? This is who you are. You have the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona, the son of Jonah. You're blessed. For flesh and blood has not revealed it unto thee. But my Father which is in heaven. Jesus was both 100% human and 100% divine. It is God in Christ reconciling the world unto himself. The body was made by God. Then God slipped out of glory, being a spirit, and got in that body. Oh my. Nobody could do it but him. It's a mystery. Great is the mystery of godliness. God was manifested in the flesh. He saw our situation and knew that there was none worthy to redeem man. So God, eternal God, is a spirit, stepped out of glory and got in that body. When the Holy Ghost overshadowed Mary, it was God Almighty getting in that body. But you forget that God is omnipresent. He's everywhere, everywhere at the same time. He's not only walking in earth as Jesus, but he's still in heaven. He is a spirit. How can Jesus being God pray to the Father in heaven? Because he was 100% human. And in a body, he's given us a lesson that as a human we've got to pray to the Father. And yet, being God Almighty.

unknown 19:52

Thank you, Lord.

SPEAKER_02 19:54

Yes.

unknown 19:56

Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah.

SPEAKER_02 19:58

There's not three persons in the Godhead. First of all, God is not a person. God is a spirit. The Holy Ghost is not a person. The Holy Ghost is a spirit.

unknown 20:10

That's right.

SPEAKER_02 20:11

Jesus was in a body. But the Spirit of God was in him. He got the Spirit without measure. The scripture teaches us in Colossians, He's the fullness of the Godhead bodily. Can't be three parts if He's the fullness. What'd y'all go to math class at?

unknown 20:29

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 20:33

And so He says this revelation had to come from my Father. You didn't get this thing on your own. It's got to come by revelation. Revelation is God taking something that is closed and then open it up and revealing it to you. That's why he says, No man can come to me except the Father. Call him or send him. And he has to do that by his spirit. His word is drawing us now. Don't you feel God drawing you? It's the Spirit of God. Well, I came to the Lord. I made up my mind. I was tired of living like that. And I came to the Lord. You ain't came to nobody. God was calling you and drawing you to Him. He made you sick of the club. He made you sick of being outside. He called you to want to serve Him. The Lord is doing it. Glory. Make yourself feel good. Yeah, I got out of it. Yeah. He was drawing you. He was drawing you. You felt different. You felt I need to be doing something different. I know it's more the life to this. I know it's got to be something else to what I'm doing. I know God put life in me. Made me a noise. I should be doing something different. That's the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of God drawing you. I hope you can feel Him drawing you this morning. Says verse 18, and I say also unto thee that you're Peter. Since you know who I am. I know who you are. I know you before you were born. I called you and chosen you in me before the foundation of the world. You just didn't know it.

SPEAKER_01 22:40

That's right.

SPEAKER_02 22:42

I called you in me before the foundation of the world. Now listen to me real good, because you're going to have to understand and know this. If God called you in him before the foundation of the world, and you find yourself now in Christ, there is nothing that the devil can do about it. Here's the reason why. In order for the devil to try to cancel God's plans for your life, he would have to go back to the beginning and erase you out of the mind of God. And he cannot erase you out of the mind of God. Well, I know what? He can't erase me out of the mind of God. And I hope he can't erase you out of the mind of God. Oh, I wish I had a couple of you that really believe that. He'd have to change the way God thought about you, how God loved you. Because you were found in him before the foundation of the world. So why are you letting the world confine you? Why are you letting the world shape you? I could preach ten hours on that. When God found you in him before, he created the world. He knows who's going to receive what he draws you, he knows who's going to reject him. The Lord knows. So now here you are sitting in the house of God. So that means that God is drawing you and God desired to do something for your life. So here's your opportunity. If you never said it this morning, here's your opportunity to tell God thank you. You want to do something with your life. He said, I say unto thee that thou art Peter. Now, Peter, upon this rock, I'm going to build my church. And the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Now the rock is the revelation of who Jesus is. And he tells him upon this revelation, I'm gonna build my church. The church was not built upon Peter. That's a lie. Catholicism said the church was built upon Peter. No, the church was built upon Jesus Christ. It was built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ, being the chief cornerstone. And so he says, upon this rock, that rock means upon the revelation of Christ. I'm gonna build my church. Every building has a foundation. That's why it's good to have some foundational truth in your life. When the storms of life come, that you're standing sturdy on your foundation. That it's not built upon the sand. When the wind blows and the waves beat against the house, how great that house fall of that house was. But when it's built upon a rock, no matter what goes on, I'm still standing. Tell somebody I'm still standing. I know you want me destroyed, but I'm still standing. Still standing. Should have been done and over with years ago. But I'm still standing. And it's not by coincidence that I'm still standing. It's all by the power of God. That's why I praise Him. See, when you know what God has done for you, then who God blesses or forgives the most, they bless Him the most. And so when God has done something great for your life, then you're gonna give God something great back. Why are you always praising God? Because I'm grateful. Anybody grateful in here? I'm grateful. I couldn't do this thing on my own. I'm coming, Deacon Fred. I gotta get down from here. Upon this rock. This revelation. Now I got to show you who the rock is. Brother Brother Daniel, the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 32, verse 1, 2, 3, and 4. I want to tell you who the rock is. Because our rock ain't like their rock. Our rock is a sure foundation. Our rock is almighty. Our rock is all powerful. The book of Deuteronomy, chapter 32, and verse number one.

SPEAKER_00 27:30

Give ear.

SPEAKER_02 27:31

Give ear.

SPEAKER_00 27:32

O ye heavens.

SPEAKER_02 27:33

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00 27:33

And I will speak.

SPEAKER_02 27:34

I'm going to speak now.

SPEAKER_00 27:36

And hear.

SPEAKER_02 27:37

And I want you to listen to what I speak.

SPEAKER_00 27:39

O earth.

SPEAKER_02 27:40

O earth.

SPEAKER_00 27:41

The words of my mouth.

SPEAKER_02 27:42

That's all y'all. God said, I'm going to speak. And I want all heaven and earth listen to what I'm saying. Anybody listen to what the Lord is saying? Hear what he says.

SPEAKER_00 27:52

My doctrine shall drop as the rain.

SPEAKER_02 27:54

My doctrine, my teaching, my what I'm teaching, what I'm saying, it's going to drop as the rain. It's going to come out of glory.

unknown 28:02

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 28:03

Hallelujah.

SPEAKER_00 28:04

My speech shall distill as the dew.

SPEAKER_02 28:07

My speech is going to come down like a nice dew. It's going to come down like the dew upon Mount Hermon, like the dew upon the grass. I'm going to settle something.

SPEAKER_00 28:17

As the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass.

SPEAKER_02 28:23

So the Lord teaches us that so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth. It will not return unto me void. But it would accomplish the thing that I sent it out to do. As the rain come down on the tender grass, it comes down to water it that it might grow. And the way that we're going to grow is by listening and hearing the word of God. Not just any word. The true teaching of the Lord. Okay? What else did Sabin?

SPEAKER_00 28:50

Because I will publish the name of the Lord.

SPEAKER_02 28:53

Here's what I'm going to do.

SPEAKER_00 28:54

I will publish the name of the Lord.

SPEAKER_02 28:56

My doctrine's going to do what?

SPEAKER_00 28:58

Publish the name of the Lord.

SPEAKER_02 28:59

It's going to let you know what the name of the Lord is.

SPEAKER_00 29:04

Ascribe ye greatness unto our God.

SPEAKER_02 29:07

You might as well go ahead and give greatness to our God. Come and let you know who He is.

unknown 29:12

Here we go.

SPEAKER_00 29:14

He is the rock.

SPEAKER_02 29:16

Wait a minute.

unknown 29:18

He is the rock.

SPEAKER_02 29:19

Wait a minute.

SPEAKER_00 29:20

He is the rock.

SPEAKER_02 29:21

He is the rock. Upon this rock, I'm going to build my church. What rock? The revelation of who the name of God is, which is Jesus Christ. I'm going to build my church.

SPEAKER_00 29:36

He is the rock.

SPEAKER_02 29:37

He is the rock.

SPEAKER_00 29:39

His work is perfect.

SPEAKER_02 29:40

His work is what?

SPEAKER_00 29:41

Perfect.

SPEAKER_02 29:42

Perfect.

SPEAKER_00 29:43

For all his ways are judgment.

SPEAKER_02 29:45

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 29:46

A God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

SPEAKER_02 29:51

He is the rock. He is the rock. And I'm going to build my church upon the rock. I'm going to publish his name. So the church was not founded upon Peter. It was founded upon Christ.

SPEAKER_00 30:04

He is the rock.

SPEAKER_02 30:06

He is the rock. Now let me differentiate his rock from any other rock. Verse 30 and 31, Brother Daniel. Then we're going back. Verse 30 and 31. Here's this. Listen to this. He the rock. Somebody say he's the rock.

SPEAKER_00 30:20

But their rock is not like our rock.

SPEAKER_02 30:24

So their rock, the hedonistic nations, their rock ain't like our rock. There's a difference.

SPEAKER_00 30:32

But their rock is not as our rock.

SPEAKER_02 30:34

Not like our rock.

SPEAKER_00 30:35

Even our enemies themselves being judges.

SPEAKER_02 30:38

Yes. Our enemies are judges, but our rock is the righteous judge. That's why he's the rock of our salvation. He is not like their rock. So when Jesus says, upon this rock, it's the revelation of who he is. And so he builds the church upon the revelation of who he is. Somebody say hallelujah. Thank you, Brother Daniel. I'm going to re take it home. Everybody tell the Lord, thank you for Brother Daniel. Amen. Hallelujah. He is the rock.

unknown 31:12

Yes, he is the rock.

SPEAKER_02 31:14

A solid foundation. He's the rock that Moses stood on in the wilderness. He's the rock that Moses spoke to. Moses spoke to the rock. And the rock gushed out water. Yes? Then he hit the rock and didn't make it into glory. He is the rock. Yeah, I see some of y'all looking at me and say, y'all don't believe that that rock was in the wilderness? You better go to 1 Corinthians chapter 10 and find out more of the brethren. We know that our forefathers walked into the sea and was baptized under the cloud under Moses' baptism. And they all passed through the sea and was baptized under Moses. And that rock that followed them was Christ. Oh yes. Christ was in the wilderness. He is the rock. It's in your Bibles. Come on, Brother Daniel, real quickly. First Corinthians chapter 10. They're looking at me, they don't think I know what I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_00 32:12

Moreover, brethren.

SPEAKER_02 32:13

Moreover.

SPEAKER_00 32:14

I would not that ye be ignorant.

SPEAKER_02 32:16

Don't be ignorant.

SPEAKER_00 32:16

How that all our fathers were under the cloud that passed through the sea. Yes. And all were baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea. Yes. And did all eat the same spiritual meat. Yes. And did all drink the same spiritual drink. They drank of that spiritual rock.

SPEAKER_02 32:34

That spiritual rock.

SPEAKER_00 32:35

That followed them.

SPEAKER_02 32:36

And who was following them?

SPEAKER_00 32:37

And that rock was Christ.

SPEAKER_02 32:38

And that rock was Christ. That's who the rock is. He's the rock of ages. He's the rock of your salvation. So the church is founded upon the rock. Jesus Christ. He's the rock. Line upon line. Precept upon precept. Here a little. There a little. We must right divide the word of truth. If you can't right divide the word of truth, you'll have three rocks. And there are not three gods in heaven. There's only one. If you can't right divide the word, you'll have two rocks. And it ain't two gods in heaven, there's only one. Hero is what the Lord thy God is. One. Glory. Sick and all. I'm doing all right. Thank you, Lord. Amen. Thank you, Lord. I hope somebody's still praying for me. Amen. Here we go. Let me close this up. And I say unto thee that thou art Peter. And upon uh this rock, I'm gonna build my church. And the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Now listen to me. He never said you weren't gonna go through hell. He never said you weren't gonna have no problems. He never said you weren't gonna have no battles. Only thing he did say they're not gonna prevail over you. Which means no matter what you're going through, at the end you'll get the victory. I wish I had somebody really got the victory in here today. It is not going to prevail over you. Didn't say it wasn't gonna come close. Didn't say you're gonna be at the gate. But what he did promise you that the devil will not prevail against the church. And I want you to know this morning that ain't nothing that the devil can do to stop God from prospering his people. Not gonna prevail. Tell somebody not gonna work. Find somebody else and tell them it's not gonna work. Not gonna work. You gotta get real serious with it. All the basketball players out here, NBA fans, when McKimbo and Atombo would block a shot at the rim. Y'all know Matimbo? He would wag his finger. Like, get out of here with that, it ain't gonna work. And then sometimes you gotta let the devil know whenever you're trying, it ain't gonna work. Whatever you're trying to do, it ain't gonna work. And when you really tell the devil, why need it? When you really want the devil to know that work, you do both fingers. It ain't gonna work. It ain't gonna work. No matter what you're trying, it ain't gonna work. No matter what you do. It might knock me down, but I'm getting back up. Everybody getting back up. I just I wish I had a few folk. You don't mind getting back up. Yeah, don't mind getting back up. I got up before and I'd get up again. Come on, people, tell them it ain't gonna work. Ain't gonna work. Not today, devil. Not today, devil. Not tomorrow, devil. It ain't gonna work. It ain't gonna work. God promised me. Whatever trick, whatever trap you're trying to set, is not gonna prevail over me. It ain't gonna work. It ain't gonna work. Y'all gonna be seated. I'm gonna ready to go on in. I'm gonna pull it out and then we're going home. I'm losing my voice. Pull it out, then I got to go. He tells him. Because you got revelation on who I am. Because you have revelation on who I am. See, when you got revelation on who God is, you'll walk in the power of God. But when you don't have revelation on who God really is, you can't really walk in the power of God. But when you know who he is. I wish I just had somebody don't really know who Jesus is. So he says, because of this revelation, I'm gonna give you something. Call the keys. Give you keys of the kingdom of heaven. Now, I've read this scripture for years. And the Lord showed me this. He said, I'm giving you the key. Not just one key. I'm giving you the keys to the kingdom. And whatsoever thou shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven. And whatsoever, listen, thou loosed on earth shall be loosed in heaven. So there's some things in the earth that God give you keys to bound and loose. Now the keys that God give you. There you go, baby. The keys that God give you. He give you keys because the binding and the loosening were chained. But every chain has a lock. Remember? You told me God showed you that golden lock. The lock is access for the keys to bind and to loose. Because the lock locks, the key locks, and the key opens. The lock. You're not just bound with cords without a lock on it. The angel that comes down that takes Satan, one angel in the book of Revelation. He comes down and he takes Satan loose the pit and he throws them in the pit and he locks the pit. Then after a thousand years is expired after the millennial reign, he comes down with the key and unlocks the lock and lets Satan out. You can't bind and loose unless you have the keys to the lock. And the way you get the keys to the lock is the more revelation that you know and believe about Jesus Christ. That's why he says keys plural to bind and to loose. And whatsoever you bind here on the earth shall be bound in heaven. And whatsoever you loose here on the earth shall be loosed in heaven. Binding and loosening. So the children of God are binding and loosening with no revelatory expression of who the Lord really is. Oh God. I wish I could preach. I wish I had my voice. They're binding and loosening, but don't have all the keys because they don't know God and a deeper understanding of revelation. You might have one key to bind and loose for salvation. Now you're saved. But now you need the key to deliverance. And what you know about God and what God reveals to you gives you the power to be able to loose your deliverance. The keys represent the authority and the power of God. And the more the Lord reveals to you about Him, the more you have the ability to use all the keys. So we got a bunch of folk only with one key, but trying to get their healing. The more you believe that He's a healer, that He gives you the key to unlock your healing. The more that you believe He's a way maker. He gives you the keys to make a way for you. Oh, I don't know who I'm preaching to. But you've got to know His revelation so that you can have all the keys. And when you have all the keys, you will be victorious in this life. Oh, I wish somebody revelation. I just don't want one key. I want all the keys. You need something. You've got to find out more of who is. Peter got revelation. That's why the devil fights us with prayer. That's why the devil fights us with Bible study. That's why the devil fights us with fasting. Because he knows that if you get all the keys, you can really live a life of power in Christ. Anybody want the keys? How much all the keys? How much everything that God has for me? So he said, I give you plural the keys. And in these keys, in these keys, the devil keeps messing with my mind. And uh I know I'm saved. And I know that I've got to find the right key that I can unlock, that I can bind the lies of the enemy, and I can unloose the truth of God. I've got to find the right key when I keep going back in the sin. That I can find the right key to bind the spirit of whoredom and to unlock the key of holiness. I got to find the right key that the things that the enemy is keeping me bound with, with depression. I got to find the right key so I can unlock the joy of joy. For the joy of the Lord is my strength. I wish I had somebody that wanted all that God has. For you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, hallelujah. I know he saved me. I know he saved me. I know he saved me. I know he saved me. And the spirit of seduction is trying to overtake the church. But God is giving me the key to beat back every work of the devil. I'm not worried about the powers of darkness because I got all the keys. Anybody got all the keys to beat back the devil, back to hell where he belongs. You got to hunger for God. You got to get fresh revelation of who the Lord is. He gave me the keys. I'm always gonna be in poverty. But I found the key that says that he owned cattle on a thousand hills. The earth is the Lord's earth and the fullest earth. He's in a lot of his fortunes for me. And I'm not living in poverty. I'm living in excess because I've got the keys. Oh glory. I wish I had somebody that was really hungry for all the keys. I give you the keys to the kingdom.

unknown 45:41

That's right.

SPEAKER_02 45:43

This is about the kingdom. They came preaching, Jesus came preaching the things of the kingdom. The kingdom is where the power and the authority is. If you only got one key, then the devil gonna fight you with other factors of your life. But when you got the whole chain, then you can beat back the works of the devil. You can't do this thing on your own. You need all the keys. That means you need more revelation, you need more understanding, you need more power, you need more wisdom, and we need more instruction. So I'm struggling here. I'm struggling here because I got this one key. And I'm struggling here, and I'm trying to figure out why I keep going back. Oh, y'all can make me preaching here now. Oh glory. I'm trying to figure out why when I know I keep going back. And they change the locks to the door because they don't want me back. But but but I something keeps me going back, and I can't figure out what it is. You're gonna have to get revelation of who you are in Christ so you can get the key to get you set free in the name of the Lord. Amen. The power and the authority come from knowing who he is. Listen to me. So who do you say that he is? Who do you say that he is? Who do you say that he is? I say he's my healer. Listen to me. Sister Debbie, when I had my accident on the highway and I died, the doctors told me at shock trauma, was it Baltimore Hospital or whatever it is, they met availed me there. They told me I would never walk again. Shut up. I found the key to salvation. But I wasn't just satisfied with the key of salvation. I found the key of healing. And the Lord healed my body laying in her bathtub, my sister's house in her bathtub. God healed me. So I found the key to healing. The devil tried to keep me bound to my past. But I found the key to bind my past and to unlock my future. And I wanted to lock your future in here today. Your future is brighter than your past. I didn't want to stay in poverty. So I found the key to the blessing of the Lord. And God will bless them that bless others. It unlocks something for my life. That's why the devil keeps the church in poverty. Not want to give. But if you'll find the key, you'll find that God will not behold no good thing. To them that walk upright before Him. Oh, glory to God. I know. Uh oh, we move from the blessing to the money now. You've got to have the keys. You've got to have the keys. And the more he reveals himself to you, the more keys he'll give you. Which is authority. And when the devil comes to try to destroy your life, you can tell that devil. The more God reveals himself to you, you have to seek the Lord. When he reveals himself to you, you'll find out who he is. I say he's my mind regulator. He's a very present help in the time of trouble. He's my strong tower. Yes, he's my help. I'm not afraid what man can do to me. I fear the Lord. He gave them keys. How many of y'all think y'all just got one key? He gave them keys to the kingdom. There's treasures in the spiritual realm to be unlocked over your life. People go through things. They go through things. And in their suffering, they cry out to God and they find out that they've got another key. And they talk like this. I'm not worried about it. I was here before. And if he did it then, he'll do it again. Tell somebody God's gonna do it again. Because I got the keys to the kingdom, and the gates of hell should not prevail against the church. He did it before, and he'll do it again. I wish I had somebody. Amen that wanted all the keys. God give me more revelation. God give me more understanding. God give me more faith. God give me more persistence. God give me more of you that I can walk upon my high places, that I can get everything that God has for me. Here's the sound when you walk in your job, that the devil should hear. Here's the sound when the devil's trying to tempt you. That you he should hear.

unknown 52:20

That's right. That's right.

SPEAKER_02 52:24

When you hear that sound, what are you gonna think? Somebody's coming and got keys. What's that sound? Somebody's got keys. But when you're walking, and there's no sound. One key won't make a sound. Got to have some other keys to go up against it. When the devil knows that you got the keys, oh yes, he'll try you on every corner. But he already knows that he won't prevail. Then you can talk to the devil's face and say, although God slay me, yet will I trust in him? I'm not going nowhere. I'll be right here till God give me the victory. Anybody got the keys? Some of y'all have gotten satisfied with salvation. You got satisfied with salvation. You spoke a hundred or rundah to shunda the shunda. God give you the Holy Ghost. Got baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. And then all the revelations stop. You don't seek God enough for God to reveal himself more to you. Has God revealed to you that he's a healer?

unknown 53:46

Yes, he has.

SPEAKER_02 53:47

God has revealed to you that he's a way maker. God has revealed unto you that he's your helper. God has revealed unto you that you can be confident in him. God ever gave you the victory over anything. God ever told you to reveal to you how much he loved you. But some of us get one key. Then we think that we know everything. And then we stop seeking God. But the more you seek him, you'll find him. The more authority and power he'll give you, which translates in the keys. And there's no good thing what God will hold for them that walk up right before him. I know, because I possess the keys. That don't mean you're not gonna have no problems. That just means you know you're victorious. Who wants the keys? Who wants the keys? I want everything you got for me. See, when you take the keys, the devil can't stop you. When you got the keys, he can't prevent you. When you got the keys, he know you're something to be reckoned with. When you got the keys, he know you ain't playing with them. When you got the keys, so God showed you the lock. Because God says you possess all the keys to bind in the loose, and whatsoever you bind here in the earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever you loose here on the earth shall be loose in heaven. You have the authority, and you have the keys to bind in the loose in the name of the Lord. So you've got to step up in the power of God and bind of the works of the devil and loose the power of God. I lose riches, I bind poverty, I lose abundance, I bind sickness, I lose healing, I bind depression, I lose joy, I bind schizophrenia, I lose wholeness, I bind bipolarism, I lose wellness in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Oh, somebody got to know you got the authority. When you know who he is, when you know who he is. This is just symbolic of the authority. No power in these. No power in these. I'll give them till you take them home. But if you don't know who he is, the devil gonna lock you up. And you're gonna be in misery. And somebody that has the keys have come lay hands on you and get you free. That's why you gotta go to a church that has authority, has power. Hang around folk that can pray for you. Hang around folk that can lead you to the keys. Gotta have somebody that been through something. That know the Lord. Oh, yes, they tried to destroy me. They tried to destroy me. But when they cried, they forgot I had the keys. Had the keys? Salvation is great. But there's more keys. Your deliverance is in the authority of God. Sitting here today. There's various things that people need to be delivered from. You need the help of God. But you're gonna have to get the keys. Anybody know who he is? Who do you say that he is? Watch this. We'll give y'all time. Who? Who do you say that he is? He's your rock. Who do you say that he is? He's your everything. Who do you say that he is? He's your everything. He's Lord of Lords. Who do you say he is, Brother Mike? He's your healer. Who do you say that he is? He's your everything. Who do you say that he is? He's your provider. Who do you say that he is? He's your everything. Who do you say that he is? Prince of peace. Who do you say he is? He's your father. Who do you say that he is? And who do you say that he is? Yeah, you. He's your everything. Well, you've got to have the keys. So that he can provide for you. So that God can heal you. God can make a way for you. And it comes by revelation of who he is. Which means you might have to go through some stuff. You might have to go through some things. But don't lose it in the trial. What are you doing, preacher? I'm looking for the key. I'm looking for the key. I'm not worried about what I'm going through. I'm looking for the key. Because what I'm going through is going to produce another key. And some more power that I can bind and loose. In the name of the Lord. Those of you who really want more from God, who really want another level of His power and anointing. And the keys are just symbolic of what we want from God. We want abundance. See, some of y'all just got satisfied. Oh, yes, it's great. Did he save us? Good God Almighty, thank God. But you're gonna need some more keys. You're gonna have to have more from God. Those of you who do not know the Lord have not been filled with his spirit, who have not been baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ. You need to be baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins. That's what the scripture teaches. And the Bible says, You shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. You shall receive more power. Power you never had before. It's only by revelation that God gave Peter that he knew who Jesus was. That's how you get the key. I know he's a deliverer, a way back, my strong power, my help, my healer, my hope. The Lord is. And I can hope in him. In Jesus' name. Amen. And amen. Those of you who want more power from God, I want you to line up on the front of the altar in the name of the Lord. We're gonna worship the Lord. We're going to another level. I've got the keys. I got the keys. I got the key. I got the key. To Allah to Allah.
