I AM a king

[Hear these words from the perspective of the Father.
See us as the king.   
And see Him awakened by us, His love.
See us fighting.  See us fighting for victory.
See Him running to see us standing in victory.
See us --seeing ourselves as kings, doing anything for our kingdom.
Our Father's kingdom is our kingdom.
Taking Him higher.
Opening the sky to reveal Him.
We are kings.]

love woke Me up this morning...

imagine a beautiful castle 
and a beautiful king
he left the comfort of his throne
to fight for victory

love woke Me up this morning
and I ran to see
the king in the winner's circle
on the horse he won for Me

only a king
would do anything
for his kingdom
only a king
would do anything
for his kingdom
only a king
would do anything
for his kingdom

take. Me. higher.
open the sky up 
start a fire

We have got to start seeing ourselves as kings.

for his kingdom."




Somehow that took me here...
MATTHEW 16:13-20

"But what about you?" he asked.  "Who do you say I am?"

Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."

Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.  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." 

I like verses 18  & 19 in the Message version,

"And now I'm going to tell you who you are, really are. You are Peter, a rock..."
"You will have complete and free access to God's kingdom, keys to open any and every door: no more barriers between heaven and earth, earth and heaven. A yes on earth is a yes in heaven.  A no on earth is a no in heaven."



We are rocks.  Peters.
On His rocks, He will build His church.  
We are kings.
We are given the keys. 
The keys to the kingdom.  
Keys denote power and authority.
Keys have power to open.
Keys have power to shut.
Keys can cause the heavens to withhold rain;
Keys can obstruct the entrance into the kingdom.
With keys;
We can open the heavens.
With keys;
We can unlock the kingdom --for ourselves and others.
With keys;
We can reveal the Father.
With keys;
We. Are. Powerful.
With keys;
We are kings in the kingdom.


We have got to start seeing ourselves as kings.
"Only a king 
would do anything 
for his kingdom."
