The Keys of Faith: A Statement (05/12/'24)

The Keys of Faith: A Statement God's kingdom thrives not in books but in faith. Faith serves as the heartbeat and pulse of God's realm, the most powerful force, and the principal requirement for walking with the Almighty and experiencing His mercy and grace. No one can reach the kingdom of heaven except through faith. Jesus said, "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). Faith breathes life into the shadows cast by books, acting as the heartbeat of God's kingdom. It is a powerful force and the cornerstone of our walk with the Almighty, allowing us to experience His mercy and grace. Through faith alone, we touch the pearls of heaven. Jesus grants us the keys to heaven's gate, proclaiming, "Bind on earth, and it will resonate in heaven; loose on earth, and freedom will be found in heaven." In faith, we access divine power without bounds. Mountains shift, spirits mend, and hearts heal. Heaven draws near, and its wonders become real. Faith is the key to the realms where God's blessings flow, unlocking the kingdom and revealing love's eternal glow. Pastor Steven G. Lee (May 12, 2024)
