The High Priest of Our Confession

What do you confess?
The Bible says we overcame (the devil);
~ by the blood of the Lamb, and
~ by the word of our testimony
...[Revelation 12:11]
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven [Matthew 16:19]
>Notice that Jesus said "I will" in the scripture above, for the reason that He had to die and resurrect to guarantee that.
Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
>>Now notice in the scripture above that Jesus referred to Himself as he that liveth and was dead and alive for evermore,...
>>>Also notice that in Matthew 16:19; He promised us the Keys of heaven before His death and resurrection, but in Revelation 1:18 After His death and resurrection he says "...and have the keys of hell and of death".
>>>>Surprised? The question is in whose hands is the keys of heaven? As promised in Matthew 16:19. It's in your hands (as a believer) and you are to use it.
Jesus Christ is the High Priest of our confession (Hebrews 3:1), and is even at the right hand of God, making intercession for us (Romans 8:34).
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus; Hebrews 3:1.
So How does this work- The ministry of intercession revealed:
Study the figure below and allow God to minister unto you, and rekindle your place of servicing the alter and SPEAKING The Word consistently.

Your duty is to yield to the HolySpirit (The Intercessor) to be a vessel, as He is the One that knows the will of God and therefore prays God's will - which is always answered. [Romans 8:26-27; 1 John 5:14-15].
The Only Intercessors: Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit, not you.
The Vessel/Mouthpiece: You [by yielding to The Holy Spirit to pray through you].
Qs:
Again, What do you confess? And Who do you think you are?
Act:
Ask God to reveal your standing in Christ Jesus.
Hold On to who you are in Christ, and grow-on from there.
Remain forever blessed.

Disciples are Blessed

Matthew 5:1-12 NIV. [Series on: The Blessed] How would you describe a blessed and happy life? One of my friends believes there’s only one happy person each week, the lottery winner, and the rest of us just have make-believe happiness. Maybe you share my friend's view or have your own picture of happiness. The Bible also has its own picture, and in this short series on the Blessed we'll see who are the blessed of Scripture. In today's passage, Jesus gathers His disciples to the mountainside, away from the crowd and teaches them what a truly blessed and happy life—beatitude—looks like. Jesus shows that a blessed life is the life of a disciple, those who are: Poor in spirit (v3, Psalm 42:1; 63:1): who depend on God in everything. Mourning (v4, Isaiah 61:2-3): who seek God’s rescue/forgiveness by repentance. Meek (v5, Psalm 37:9-11): who humbly wait for the Lord amidst life’s ...

Accompanied by unfailing love

Ruth 1:1-22 NIV. I hope you had an enjoyable Christmas break. Happy New Year! The Book of Ruth has been called the most beautiful short story ever written because of its simple narrative. A narrative that shows how God’s provision for our needs or challenges is often woven into the simple acts of human kindness. Chapter 1 shows the kindness of a daughter-in-law, Ruth, to her mother-in-law, Naomi (v8, 16, 22), and we’ll see God at work through that. But first, the passage sets the context by introducing us to Naomi’s loss… Naomi lost her family… When Naomi (which means pleasant) is first introduced, we are told of her loss. A woman in a foreign land who lost her family (v1-5). She feels bitter, empty and afflicted by the Lord (v21). Why so? …Because Naomi knows Israel’s God to be the Almighty—Sovereign. He can bring famine to a disobedient Israel (v1) a...

In trials, Remain in the fold!

1 Peter 5:1-14 NIV. Despite its fleeting nature, the allure of worldliness can be powerful. The world presents a supposedly better way of life accompanied by trendy hashtags like #yolo, #choplife, and #softlife. How appealing such worldly invitations would have been for Peter's audience in the face of stern trials, the thought that switching sides to the worldly alternative could relieve their trials. As Peter ends this first letter, he encourages believers to remain in the fold—in the family of God, in Christ's sheepfold—because those who are in the fold will share in Christ's glory (vv 1, 4, 10-11). So, remain in the family of God by continuing to... Be shepherds (v1-4). If entrusted as a shepherd or leader, faithfully serve those under your care with exemplary living as one accountable to God (1-3). This is how you will receive a crown of glory from the Chief Shepherd (4). So,...
