Salvation and power are established! Kingdom of our God, authority of his Messiah! The accuser of our brothers and sisters thrown out, who accused them day and night before God. They defeated him through the blood of the Lamb and the bold word of their witness. They weren't in love with themselves; they were willing to die for Christ. Rev.12:9-11

Ok so let's go through this again..
Key 1 - The door to our heart is opened
Key 2 - Repentance and godly sorrow
Key 3 - any thoughts??
You know, each key is different, I mean different in size, shape, etc, AND it only opens one door. For example, if you try to use my set of keys for your home, it wont work. Precisely! So, if I try to make a formula and say this is the set of keys for everyone, it would be presumtuous and silly woundn't it? But thats precisely what alot of Christian books do; they give us keys that worked for someone else in their situation. We need to seek Christ alone, and when we do, he will give us the keys for our situation, our breakthrough for our own communities and families. Jesus did not give us his Spirit to live by formulas, but so that we would walk daily in communion with Him, knowing His will as we die to our own. This is the narrow path, and this is the way of the Cross. We must seek Christ for the sake of only knowing Him, not for what he may give or provide. Otherwise our love is superficial at best and when the hard times and testing come, we will fall away as we will have no root. But if we do seek him only for the sake of Himself, he will give us all we need and give us the "keys to the kingdom".
I love this picture so I'm showing it again!
