                                        The KEYS OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

                                          JESUS SAID...And I will give unto thee,
                                           The Keys Of The Kingdom Of Heaven...           Mat.16:19

            Then said they unto Him, what shall we do, that we might work the

                           works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them;

   This is the work of God,that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent. John 6:28-29

                         ...All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth.

             Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in The Name Of

                            The  Father, and of the Son, and of The Holy Ghost;   

            teaching them to observe all things whatsoeverI have commanded you.         

          And lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.    Mat.28:18-20

      And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to

          every creature. 16:16 He that believeth, and is baptized, shall be saved.

                                 But he that believeth not, shall be damned.  Mark 16:15-16

When Jesus first began to preach publicly, He preached we should repent: Repent.

For the kingdom of heaven is at hand ...and believe The Gospel Mat.4:17; Mark 1:15

  

                             During His Ministry, Jesus preached we should repent:
13:1 There were present, at that season, some that told Him of the Galilaeans,

          whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.13:2  And Jesus,

answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these  Galilaeans were sinners, above

all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? 13:3 I tell you, nay. But,

except ye repent, ye shall all likewise, perish. 13:4 Or those eighteen, upon whom

the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them? Think ye that they were sinners above all

           men that dwelt in Jerusalem? 13:5 I tell you nay. But except ye repent,

                                               ye shall all likewise, perish.                  Luke 13:1-5

        After His Resurrection, Jesus instructed His Disciples to preach repentance:

            And He said unto them; Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to

             suffer,  and to rise from the dead the third day.  And, that repentance

     and  remission of sins should be preachedin His nameamong all nations,

                                       beginning at Jerusalem.                               Luke 24:46-47

       Jesus explains His job for us and gives His Disciples THE HOLY SPIRIT:

20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace to you. As My Father hath sent Me,

          even so, send I you.20:22 And when He had said this, He breathed on
                     them, and saith unto them, Receive The Holy Ghost.   John 20:21-22

        Jesus instructed His Disciples to wait for the power of the holy spirit,

                                                which he would send them:

And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you. But tarry(*wait) ye in

the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. Luke 24:49

                          After Jesus returned to Heaven, and The Apostles Received

                                          The Holy Spirit and began to preach:

              Then Peter said unto them, repent* and be baptized, every one of you,

  in The Name Of Jesus Christ, for the remission*(forgiveness) of sins, and ye shall

                                       receive The Gift Of The Holy Ghost.                  Acts 2:38 

   During His Ministry, Jesus tells us we will receive the holy spirit, if we ask:

        If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children;
             how much more shall your Heavenly Father, Give The Holy Spirit,
                                               To Them that ask Him?                            Luke 11:13

                                                               (1)                    repent*=turn away from sin

 

                       Before Jesus returned to heaven, He gave us a job to do.

               Jesus also sends us The Holy Spirit Of God, to allow us to do that job.

                                14:15 If ye love Me, keep My Commandments.

      14:16 And I will pray The Father, and He shall give you another Comforter,

                  that He may abide with you, forever;14:17  even, The Spirit Of Truth;

    Whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth HIM not, neither knoweth HIM
                                But ye Know HIM; for HE LIVES*WITH you,
                                                and SHALL BE  IN  You.                         John 14:15-17

                                              Jesus explains to us:

                                                  GOD IS A SPIRIT                                   John 4:24a                                                                                    

                   The Holy Spirit Of God and Jesus, Is Alive, and working In us,

                              and through us, to point others to Jesus, by:                                                                                     

   by confessing sins to Jesus and repenting, by asking Jesus for forgiveness for

        our sins, by asking God, to baptize us into   Jesus Christ, By His Holy Spirit          

                                      If we are believing Jesus, and relying on Him,

                 we will ask for, receiveaccept,  and be Led By His Holy Spirit.

   We will allow HIM to do  the things He wants, working in us and through us.

3:5...Verily verily I say unto thee, except a man be born of water, and Of The Spirit

  he cannot enter into The Kingdom Of God.3:6That which is born of the flesh is flesh

 and that which is born Of The Spirit, is spirit.3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,

ye must be born again.3:8  The wind bloweth where it listeth, (will)  and thou

hearest the  sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth.

                                       So is everyone that is Born Of The Spirit.             John 3:5-8

                              ...how much more shall your heavenly Father give 

                                   The Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?"                 Luke 11:13b

                        Jesus tells Peter, Peter will be led by the holy spirit

                                     until it is time for Peter’s physical death:

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, when thou wast young, thou girdest thyself, and

walkedst whither thou wouldest. But when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch

                               forth thy hands, and Another shall gird thee  and

                                      carry thee whither thou wouldest not.              John 21:18  

 

Jesus makes it easy for us, through faith in Him. All we need to do is pray, and

 Ask Him how He wants His Holy Spirit to use us;, And then, allow The Holy Spirit

to do it, through us. WHO will do itThe Holy Spirit will, working in us and through

us, when we lift Jesus  up to others because He died for us, and  when we exalt Him,

           because He is Risen, just as Jesus testifies that The Holy Spirit Of God

                                           worked in Him, and through Him.     

8:28 When ye have lifted up The Son Of Man then shall ye know that I Am He, and

that I do nothing of MyselfBut as My Father hath taught Me, I speak these things

       8:29  And He that sent Me Is with Me. The Father hath not left Me alone;

                             for I do always those things that please him.         John  8:28-29

           And  Iif  I  be  lifted up from the earth, will draw all unto Me. John 12:32

Jesus tells us we are to Glorify Him while on the earth, by the holy spirit In us:

And all Mine are Thine, and Thine are Mine. And I Am Glorified, In them. John17:10                                                                                                                    

                    HOW? The way that Jesus did, by The Holy Spirit Of God,

                  working in Him, and thru HimGiving Glory To The Father.

      14:10 Believest thou not, that I am in The Father, and The Father in Me?

                      The words that I speak unto you, I speak not of Myself; but

                     The Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works.          John 14:10

                                                              (2)

 

       DO WHAT Works?  All the things that Jesus wants done, according to His Will.

  Verily, verily I say unto you, he that believeth on Me, the works that I do, shall he

 do also, and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father

                                                                                                                        John 14:12

                    The holy spirit will teach us what we need to know,

                                        and He will guide us in all things:

But the Comforter, which IS the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will

   send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things

       to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.     John 14:26

                 

16:13 Howbeit, when He, The Spirit Of Truth*is come, He will guide you into All

      Truth  For He shall not speak of Himself. But whatsoever He shall hear, that

                     shall He speak. And HE will show you things to come           John 16:13

                            Jesus will accomplish His Will, working through us:

        I Am the vine ye are the branches. He that abideth In Me, and I In him,

    the same bringeth forth much fruit. For without Me, ye can do nothing. John 15:5

                              If we remain In Jesus, Jesus will remain In us:

   8:29  And He that sent Me Is with Me. The Father hath not left Me alone;

                             for I do always those things that please Him.                 John  8:29

    If we pray, and accept, and receive what the holy spirit is leading us to do,

         we will be led to do the will of god, which is what Jesus told us to do.

    We will:  teach all nations, baptizing them in The Name Of The  Father, and

Of The Son, and Of The Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever

I have commanded you Mat.28:20 We will preach: repentance and forgiveness of sins

which should be preached in The Name Of Jesus among all nations,   Luke 24:47

16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe. In My Name shall they cast

out devils. They shall speak with new tongues 16:18 They shall take up serpents;

 and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them. They shall lay hands on

                                       the sick, and they shall recover.                    Mark 16:17-18

      By His Grace and Mercy, thru faith, with love, by the power of His Holy

    Spirit, these Keys will open The Kingdom Of Heaven to us, and to all those

                                      Jesus will choose, to follow Him.

                     WHO  ARE THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN?

               GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, and GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT,

               working in us, and thru us, to lift up, exalt, and glorify  JESUS.                                                                                                   

We must ask for, accept, and receive The Holy Spirit, and be Led By The Holy Spirit,

                                         if we are to do the Lord’s Will:

5:19 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what He

 seeth The Father do. For what things so ever He doeth, these also doeth The Son

 likewise.5:20 For The Father loveth The Son, and showeth Him all things that Him-

self doeth. And He will show Him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

                                                                                                                    John 5:19-20

                                                        Go to Jesus  

                    Ask Him for repentance and forgiveness from your sins.

                     Ask Jesus for His baptism into The Holy Spirit Of God

       In the name Of The Father, and Of The Son, and Of The Holy Spirit. Amen  

 I Am The Resurrection, and The Life. He that believeth in Me, though he were dead,

yet, shall he Live. And whosoever Liveth and Believeth in Me, shall never die.

                                                  Believest thou this?                                John 11:25-26

                                                             (3)

 

   The purpose of this and the other articles, is to point out the same message that

   appears over and over in God's Word, and to bring that message together in one

                place, our heart, in recognition of The Lord's prayer  in John Chpt.17

        That we may all be One, as The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Are One

                                                                                                                1st John 5:7

17:18 As Thou hast sent Me into the world, even so have I also sent them into

   the world. 17:19 And for their sakes, I sanctify Myself, that they also might

   be sanctified through The Truth. 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for

   them also which shall  believe on Me through their word; 17:21 That they all

   may be One; as Thou Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be

   One, in Us that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me. 17:22 And the

   Glory which Thou gavest Me, I have given them; that they may be One, even

   as We Are One. 17:23 I in them and Thou in Me, that they may be made

   Perfect In One; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and

   hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me. 17:24  Father, I will that they also,

   whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I Am; that they may behold My

   Glory which Thou hast given Me. For Thou lovedst Me before the foundation

   of the world. 17:25 O Righteous Father, the world hath not known Thee. But I

   have known Thee, and these have known that Thou hast sent Me. 17:26  And I

          have declared unto them Thy Name, and will declare it; That The Love

   wherewith Thou hast loved Me, may be in them, and I In them. John 17:18-26

 

15:17These things I command you, that ye love one another. 15:18 If the world

   hate you, ye know that it hated Me before it hated you.15:19 If ye were of the

   world, the world would love his own. But because ye are not of the world, but

   I have chosen you, out of the world, therefore the world hateth you

                                                                                                               John 15:17-19

16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that In Me, ye might have peace.

                  In the world ye shall have tribulation. But be of good cheer;

                                          I have overcome the world.                          John 16:33

 

                 17:3  And this is Life Eternal, that they might know Thee;

              The Only True God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent. John 17:3

 

   11:25  ... I am The Resurrection, and The Life. He that believeth in Me,

         though he were dead, yet shall he live. 11:26 And whosoever liveth and

                  believeth in Me, shall never die. Believest thou this?      John 11: 25-26

 

                     6:63 It is the spirit that gives life*(quickeneth*)

       The flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I speak unto you,

                            they are spirit, and they are life.                 John 6:63

 

    11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children;
             how much more shall your Heavenly Father, give The Holy Spirit,
                                               to them that
ask Him?                     Luke 11:13

 

      May God Bless you and keep you in The Lord, Jesus Christ, by the Power Of His Holy Spirit.
