Move in our midst

·        Take time to thank the Lord for all that He has done for you and your family.

·        Let the fire of the Holy Ghost envelop the atmosphere around you.

·        Pray for God’s anointing to do exploit’s; ask Him to overwhelm you with His Holy presence. 

Now, let’s look at the rules of engagement concerning the theme of this message.

Scripture readings

Matthew 16:19. (AMP)

¹⁹I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is already loosed in heaven.

Matthew 18:18 -20 (AMP)

¹⁸Truly I tell you, whatever you forbid and declare to be improper and unlawful on earth must be what is already forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit and declare proper and lawful on earth must be what is already permitted in heaven.

¹⁹Again I tell you, if two of you on earth agree (harmonize together, make a symphony together) about whatever [anything and everything] they may ask, it will come to pass and be done for them by My Father in heaven.²⁰For wherever two or three are gathered (drawn together as My followers) in (into) My name, there I AM in the midst of them.

God is saying, you need to come into agreement with what is in heaven to see results. What is the key of your authority? It must always be in line with what is in heaven. If you operate according to the Kingdom of heaven you will be given a MASTER key that has the ability to deliver, set free and heal everything that does not look like anything in heaven. Is there lack in heaven? Is there sickness and death in heaven? Is there destruction in heaven? NO! This key of deliverance is there to set free and deliver and arrest and bind what is not of God.

Jeremiah 1:10; 18 -19 (AMP)

¹⁰See, I have this day appointed you to the oversight of the nations and of the kingdoms to root out and pull down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.  ^{[This is the key that is referred to in Matthew 16:19] 18}For I, behold, I have made you this day a fortified city and an iron pillar and bronze walls against the whole land--against the [successive] kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land [giving you divine strength which no hostile power can overcome]. ¹⁹And they shall fight against you, but they shall not [finally] prevail against you, for I AM with you ^{[Matthew 18:20]}, says the Lord, to deliver you.

Only those with the keys of Kingdom of heaven can do these exploits against the kingdom of darkness. God has sent strength against any type of opposition. They will not overwhelm you or overcome you because you have been given a key as stated in Jeremiah 1 and Matthew 16 and 18.

Please read Psalm 78 (AMP)

I will highlight a few key scriptures from the Psalm to continue our study. The keys of the Kingdom are for performing exploits. They are symbolic of the power and authority that God put in the staff of Moses when He commissioned him to go to pharaoh. They (keys) will cause you to always triumph in Christ Jesus.

⁴ We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done. (Psalm 78:4 AMP)

Can you see that the power, authority and commissioning will pass on and thrive in your children. God is saying, lead My people back to me. Make sure that they place their hope in God not false and evil powers from satan. Genuine (not counterfeit) miracles will only come from those that are My children and fear Me. This is so that people will not be deceived but will turn back to Me and set ALL their hope in Me.There are many wolves in sheep’s clothing masquerading as ministers of God. People will not place their hope in witches, psychics, necromancers and their like.

¹¹ And forgot His works and His wonders that He had shown them, (Psalm 78:11 NKJV).

Be careful not to forget God after you have received your miracle. Guard your heart beloved. Seek after the Miracle Maker (GOD) more than the miracle (healing, riches, wealth etc.). It is baffling that there are people that do not seek God when they are living in wealth? Is it not because they believe that they have obtained it all by their might and strength (intelligence, connections, ideas etc.)? Miracles do not always lead to devotion as we see in Psalm 78:12 -16 (NKJV) 

 ¹² Marvellous things He did in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. ¹³ He divided the sea and caused them to pass through; and He made the waters stand up like a heap.¹⁴ in the daytime also He led them with the cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. ¹⁵He split the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink in abundance like the depths. ¹⁶He also brought streams out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.  

Psalm 78 talks about generations of believers and none believers. We see how God in His mercy protects and provides for His people but they are unfaithful. They inherited a vineyard they did not plant. Do not allow pride to come in, for it is designed to bring backsliding in a believer’s life and destiny. Do not be counted as those who search for God when they are in trouble and backslide once their breakthrough comes. God does not deliver people only to be captured by the darkness.
