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.

In Christ is all we need

Luke 5:1-11 NIV; 2 Peter 1:3 NIV. Praise God! Happy new year!!! One time, I was meeting friends for a game of badminton. When I arrived at the court, I noticed I had come with the wrong bag. I planned to play in shorts, but I played in trousers, and my very competitive friends were not merciful. Peter described the Christian life almost like my backpack experience, except that he made the right switch. He picked the one that had all he needed for his journey. In Luke's passage (Luke 5:1-11 NIV), he records Peter's first meeting with Jesus. It was at a time when he had toiled all night but couldn't catch any fish. So he parked his boat by the seashore. But when Jesus saw Peter's boat, he got into it and used it to teach the crowd the word of God - to meet their spiritual needs. Again, in displaying his divine miraculous power, he used the boat to provide much fish - to meet the physical needs of Pet...

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 ...

In trials, Be Holy!

1 Peter 1:13-2:3 NIV. Knowing the joyful truths from the last session about our faith, Peter then goes on to say, therefore...be holy! (v13). Being holy means to live a God-centred life. It looks like not conforming to ungodly desires (v14, 2v1) but setting our minds on the eternal things of God (v13, 2v2), living in reverent fear of God (v17) and loving God's people (v22). This cuts against the grain of the me-centred worldview of life. It is, therefore, no surprise that every trial and distraction in life combats any attempt at living a God-centred life. So how do we respond? Peter's encouragement in verse 15 is: be holy in all you do — keep being holy, continue (2 Timothy 3:12-13). In trials, be holy for three profound reasons - all based on the very nature of God. In trials, we are to be holy (keep being, continue to be) because: God is holy. Verse 16 says "Be holy, bec...
