“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” - Matthew 16:19
There is no doubt that problem solving is a difficult process for everyone, especially for an average Christian. Some problems get solved easily, while some linger on, even to an embarrassing situation. There is no better way to solving problems other than to pray, and then work toward achieving your desired goals. These two must go together, i.e. pray and work. Some work, but don’t pray, or they pray sparingly, not fervently. Others pray, they don’t work, or better still, they ignore the voice of God and dissipate energy in a wrong direction. It is better that when you pray, you listen also to God talk to you on what next to do concerning your petition. That is very important. What are the keys of binding and losing conditions on earth so as to create a desired manifestation in heaven? The Master did not just give the keys to Peter. He did that because Peter was able to recognize the Master as Christ, the son of God (Matthew 16:16). But Jesus also knew that no ordinary mortal would understand this mystery, except by the power of God (Ref: Matthew 16:17). The big question is; “have you been able to recognize the Christ in you”?
The Christ in you is the power that creates all manifestations, for He is the Eternal Word of God that God employed to create the whole world! This creative power of God now resides in you – He is Christ in you the hope of glory! Paul says that Christ is enthroned in you. Paul revealed this mystery to the Gentiles when he told them; “Christ in you is the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:26-27). The Holy Spirit is the vehicle that moves the WORD of God as well as God the Father into manifestation. The Apostles were never able to perform miracles until the Holy Spirit brought them into contact with the power of God. In the same way, and just like God revealed to Peter, you need the Holy Spirit to reveal to you the power of Christ in you. Beloved in Christ, Jesus is telling us today that the power that created the whole universe – THE WORD OF GOD, is in you. Ask Jesus to send forth the Holy Spirit into your life today, so that like Peter, you may recognize that Christ is in you. When you understand the principle of Christ INSIDE OF YOU, you will immediately begin to feel the impulse of God’s power and anointing flowing within and around you, creating all you desire, whether to bind or to lose. The choice is entirely yours. Therefore, when you are afraid or troubled by any situation whatsoever, simply turn to Christ INSIDE OF YOU. Use the power of Christ in you to alter a bad situation, and then create the change you desire to see in your life.
