"Not by might nor by power but by My Spirit
says the LORD of hosts. 'Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain!
And he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of
'Grace, grace to it!'"
Zechariah 4:6-7

Ambassadors for Christ,
We are not only witnesses to others of the power of the resurrection in our lives, but we are called out to work with God in the secret place of prayer. In a multitude of circumstances, your prayers have removed blocks and hindrances so that God could move.
When we move to Heaven, we will know more about what was accomplished through our prayers.
Don’t ever allow that deceiver to tell you that your prayers aren’t doing anything. The screaming news media rarely knows or credits God as the reason behind miraculous interventions. They don’t have eyes to see. That’s why we are assigned to pray for the lost who are blind. Read 2 Corinthians 4:4.
Our God is the Almighty One who is sovereign and just. Yet, He has decided to require His people to work with Him in prayer so that “His will be can be done on earth as it is done in Heaven.”
“My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.” Mark 11:17
THE CHURCH IS NOT A BUILDING
“…I will build My church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:18-19
THE CHURCH HAS THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM
The gates of hell CANNOT prevail against The Church.
Who is The Church? It is a living, moving, massive amount of born again people who are one in Jesus. It is you and it is me. See Jesus’ prayer in John 17.
God’s church on the earth for the past two thousand years has, at different times, almost come to a halt in its mission to preach the gospel and make disciples. Do you suppose as previous generations were born they forgot they were given keys that were to be used against those gates of evil?
Nevertheless, The Church is still here, Praise God, and stronger than ever with hundreds of millions of Spirit-filled Christians in every nation, who are fervent to bring in the world’s harvest.
What do you think would keep God’s people from using the keys? Ignorance of what we have been given and how to use the keys effectively would keep God's children from using their authority.
Just like your right hand and your left hand work together to accomplish so much, the keys of Heaven and prayer work together in the unseen realm to change things of the natural realm.
Let’s look at what these keys are:
POWER
“And I have put My words in your mouth; I have covered you with the shadow of My hand, that I may plant the heavens, lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, 'You are My people.’” Isaiah 51:16
Power keys come forth through The Glorious Church on earth to do work in the spiritual realm.
“A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven.”
John 3:27
“But as it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him. But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit.” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10
How do we activate power from Heaven?
Your Mouth ... Your Words
Activation of power keys comes by revelation knowledge, action and continual practice! (We will assume that you are a doer of God’s Word and walking in love and holiness.)
The power is locked up in God’s word for a reason.
But when faith in God’s word is deposited in the heart, that which we speak has dominion to bind and loose and change things. After all, that is the same process that led to your Kingdom birth! With the heart one believes, and with the mouth confession was made unto salvation! Romans 10:10
“…He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. But this He spoke concerning the Spirit…” John 7:38-39
“For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.” Mark 11:23
When we believe (faith) that our words are accompanied by the power of the Holy Spirit, they become the sword of the Spirit. “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing…” See Hebrews 4:12.
This brings us back to God’s armor and His power weapon: the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God…“praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful...” This sword will lie dormant until it is spoken by unction and command. See Ephesians 6 17-18.
What these keys produce:
His original intent for man’s authority over earth and His abundant goodness and love for all of His creation. See Genesis 1:26-28.
When we use the keys of Heaven correctly they produce manifestation, anointing, and demonstration. God receives glory!
Operation and access to the keys and the power they produce flow through the vine, who is Jesus. When we abide in Him and His word abides in us we can ask whatever we desire and it shall be done for us.
He controls the magnitude of this power. He said: “Without Me you can do nothing.” But with Jesus, all things are possible! See John 15:1-12.

Just like your right hand and your left hand work together to accomplish so much, the keys of Heaven and prayer work together in the unseen realm to change things of the natural realm.
Let’s look at what these keys are:
- They come by revelation.
- They operate by faith through love.
- These keys prevail against the gates of hell.
- When you need access, keys will open every door.
- These keys dominate over evil.
- They are to bind and they are to loose.
- It is not up to Jesus to use these keys. They have been given to The Church. That means you and I have the responsibility to use them.
- The world has no knowledge of these keys because Jesus did not give them to the world.
POWER
“And I have put My words in your mouth; I have covered you with the shadow of My hand, that I may plant the heavens, lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, 'You are My people.’” Isaiah 51:16
Power keys come forth through The Glorious Church on earth to do work in the spiritual realm.
- They loose heaven’s ways upon earth.
- They can control anything.
- They put us in authority over the natural system.
- These keys only work in conjunction with the Holy Spirit.
“A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven.”
John 3:27
“But as it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him. But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit.” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10
How do we activate power from Heaven?
- Put the Word of God first place in your life.
- Be led by the Holy Spirit ... in prayer also.
- Be mindful that the power is already resident within us! That power is God: the Holy Spirit.
Your Mouth ... Your Words
Activation of power keys comes by revelation knowledge, action and continual practice! (We will assume that you are a doer of God’s Word and walking in love and holiness.)
The power is locked up in God’s word for a reason.
But when faith in God’s word is deposited in the heart, that which we speak has dominion to bind and loose and change things. After all, that is the same process that led to your Kingdom birth! With the heart one believes, and with the mouth confession was made unto salvation! Romans 10:10

What these keys produce:
- God’s Presence
- God’s Power
- God’s Authority
- God’s Dominion
His original intent for man’s authority over earth and His abundant goodness and love for all of His creation. See Genesis 1:26-28.
When we use the keys of Heaven correctly they produce manifestation, anointing, and demonstration. God receives glory!
Operation and access to the keys and the power they produce flow through the vine, who is Jesus. When we abide in Him and His word abides in us we can ask whatever we desire and it shall be done for us.
