    Whatsoever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven.. these keys open up what is in heaven to come to earth. In heaven God’s resources are endless.

    Freedom comes in knowing the truth. Understanding, learning, knowing how to use the truth (WISDOM) is learning how to use the keys.

    These keys are principles by which the Kingdom of Heaven operates. We have access to this system when we learn how to use the keys.

    The systems of kingdom principles are out of reach to those outside the kingdom. They do not have access. It is important that we know that we are citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven.

    Some religions on the outside look good but there are no keys and can not unlock the power of Heaven.

    The keys initiate action in Heaven. With the keys we have access to the will of God.

    The authority and purposes come from the Lord, not the other way around. We are His servants. Good wording. It reminds me of the politicians that think the power of the Constitution belongs to them and they give us some of it. Backwards.

    I challenge the presupposition that the "keys" were given to the Church. Scripture never said the keys were given to every believer until the end of time. A plain reading of the text only reveals the apostles receiving the keys to the kingdom. Anything else is an addition to the written text of Scripture. MANY false doctrines arise from reading more meaning into the text than is actually written.
