Introduction:
    Jesus had one mission in coming to earth—to redeem every person. He has one co-mission with every believer of every church—to take His finished work, and take it to every person on the face of the earth. Jesus said He would give Peter the keys to the heavenly realm in order to build “my church”. This is why He gave the keys to the church, to build His church. That means getting the message out to people.

    Some other things we can note about this passage:
1.    “will” give—indicates something future; has not been given yet.
2.    will “give”—indicates something that is a gift of grace.
3.    “unto you”—indicates something personal, that you can use or not use at will.
4.    “keys”—indicates plural, more than one.
5.    “of the kingdom of heaven”—indicates the spiritual realm of where God dwells, above all (that you will have access to).
6.    “whatsoever”—indicates unlimited access and authority of binding and loosing on earth and in heaven.

EG. Keys give you free access to anything you need. Opens locked doors and gates so you can get in and do what needs to be done. Keys to Fort Knox, but we have something better than money, we are given the keys to getting every person saved, healed, delivered. How about Children’s hospital.

Three keys:  1. Access to God.  2. The Gospel of God.  3. The Glory of God.

FREE ACCESS TO FATHER GOD AT ALL TIMES—AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP OF FAITH AND LOVE EXERCISED BY PRAYER, PRAISE, WORSHIP, AND OBEDIENCE.
--Lk.24.50-53—worship, praise, and prayer in obedience to His command.
--Ac.1.14—all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication
--Rom.10.4-13—Christ has done the work. He is our righteousness by faith.
--Eph.4.8-10 (7-16)—He ascended and led captivity captive and gave gifts.
--Jn.14.12-14—greater works; whatsoever you ask in His name.
--Eph.2.13-18—access by one Spirit unto the Father.

THE FULL GOSPEL PROCLAIMED AND DEMONSTRATED, THAT HAS THE POWER TO SET EVERY PERSON FREE IN EVERY WAY
--Rom.1.16 / 10.17 (6-13)—Give the message. The message does the work.
--1Pet.1.6-12 / 2Th.2.13,14—the Gospel that brings glory.
--Ac.2.38—the Spirit
    --tongues—unlimited, supernatural, power to reach every nation.
    --gifts (manifestations)—to touch every situation with God’s power. 1Cor.12.7-11.
    --revelation—to reveal all that needs to be known . 1Cor.2.7-14, 12; Ac.13.1-3; 16.6-10

THE FIRE OF THE GLORY OF GOD, THAT BRINGS THE LIGHT OF HIS PRESENCE TO ACCOMPLISH THINGS FAR BEYOND WHAT WE CAN EVEN BELIEVE FOR
--Ex.33.7-23—God showed His glory to Moses. His presence with him.
--Ex.40.34-40—God’s glory in the cloud and fire.
--Lk.9.34,35—Disciples entered a cloud and feared (were not yet born again and Spirit-filled). Today, we are sons with Spirit crying "Abba Father". We have reverence, but not craven fear.
--Eph.3.20,21—Above all we ask or think, His glory is revealed.
--Ac.4.29-31 / 5.14-16—Asked for healings, signs and wonders, received abundantly above what they asked or possibly thought. EG. Peter’s shadow.
--Ac.9.3,8,17; 22.11—The glory of God affects Saul’s sight.
--Ac.13.11—God’s glory blinds Satan’s emissaries.
--1Jn.4.4 / Col.1.27-29—Greater in you is He, the hope of glory, in you, than he who is in the world.
--Jude 24—He is able to keep you from falling and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy.

Conclusion:
    In Christ Jesus, we have been given the keys to the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom that rules over all. All authority has been given to Christ, and to those who are in Him. We have been given free access to God at all times. We have been given the unlimited gospel of God that is the power of God to save every person who believes. We have been given the glory of God, the presence of God, who is in us and with us at all times. There is nothing to stop us from using those keys to unlock the prisons of millions of people, from sin, sickness, and satanic oppression.
    Everything is in place. Now, the ball is in your court. It is your move.
    Jesus had a mission. He accomplished it. Now He has given us a co-mission. He has given us a mission in which He has promised to be with us and to work with us in all that we do in His kingdom work under His direction.
    You have the keys. Now, what are you doing with them? The only thing that can stop you, is you.                                                                                                          1-13-03
