Heavenly Kingdom is unlocked!

Matthew 16:17-20 NIV

Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." Then he warned his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.

Christ made it apparent to Peter, that the Kingdom of Heaven was to be available to everyone who accepted HIM as God's Son and the Messiah.

There are many that fail to realize that after death, eternity in the presence of a Holy God is much better than to be eternally forbidden to leave the pit of destruction.

As Believers in Christ, we are commanded by Christ to tell others about HIM, and that only by accepting HIM as Lord and Savior, following HIM by faith and obediently serving HIS Father, are we able to storm those gates of Hades, and release those who are held captive of sin before they die and face eternal separation from the presence of Jehovah God!

Father, I give YOU thanks

for releasing me from the chains of bondage to sin!

YOUR Son, gave HIS Life to set me Free!!

I have overcome death, hell and the grave,

and now I live a victorious life

in Christ Jesus, my Lord and Savior!!!

Amen
