Transcript made from the video's YouTube captions. 1 good evening everybody I'd like for you to get your Bible and turn with me to the Book of Matthew chapter 16 and verse 13 I want to discuss with y'all tonight a very very important subject concerning the Keys of the Kingdom hello everybody I'm Shane vongh with first Harvest Ministries I greet every one of you in the name of Yesa the son of the almighty Yahweh and uh if you're listening if you'll go ahead and hit that share button it's okay it's all right if people know you're listening to our teachings hit the share button so that other people can hear this truth Matthew 16 and13 and I was uh walking to 2 today into our home and when I put the key in the door of our house a revelation came to me like I've never understood it before and that's how the Lord deals with me he speaks to me uh in the most unusual way sometimes but I was putting my key in the door of the house and you know it's a home that's worth quite a bit of of money and it's a large place and and uh it's it's ours God gave it to us and when I put my key in to open the door something hit me like a ton of bricks and said to me 3 Shane no one else has the authority to enter into your kingdom or your house or your Dominion what I have given to you no one has the authority to enter in without this key and all of a sudden I felt like the king of my own domain because in my hand was a key that key unlocks the entrance into my kingdom you you ever heard the saying that the king of my castle well my home is my kingdom everything that happens there is under my authority and my control I don't control what happens in your house but I control what happens in mine and so when I went to put that key 4 into the door I Knew by divine revelation exactly what yua meant when he told his disciples I give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven you see yua is the king of the Kingdom of Heaven it belongs to him his father Yahweh has given him authority over the kingdom now let's read and Matthew 16 and13 when yua came to the coast of cesaria Philippi he asked his disciples saying whom do men say that I the son of man am I want you to notice his use of the word son of man I believe he said that on purpose as a test to his disciples and they said in verse 14 of 5 Matthew 16 they said why don't you folks hit that share button real quick and they said some say that you are John the Baptist some say that you're Elijah some say you're Jeremiah some Say You're Just One of the prophets and he said unto them and here was the test to see if they would be given the keys to the kingdom he said but whom do you say that I am now I want you to notice he started this question off by identifying himself as simply the son of man now a son of man has no Authority in the kingdom of God only a Son of God would have authority in the 6 king om of God and then Peter answered him in verse 16 and said you are the Messiah you are the son of Yahweh Yeshua answered and said unto him blessed art thou Simon son of Jonah for the human [Music] mind has not revealed this to you but my Father which is in heaven and I now we were told to believe that the father left Heaven while Jesus was on the earth and became Jesus but Yeshua said My Father which is currently in heaven has revealed this to you verse 18 of chapter 16 of of the Book of Matthew and I say unto you you are Peter now Yeshua says now that 7 you've recognized who I am I'm going to recognize who you are you are Peter and Upon This Rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not Prevail against it and I will give unto you the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven and whatever you bind on Earth shall be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on Earth shall be loosed in heaven then he charged his discip IPL Les that they should tell no man that he was the Messiah now this chapter is is so important for you to understand because you're about to find out who is holding the keys to the 8 kingdom even today now we know that Peter was originally Grand granted the keys to the kingdom of heaven now brothers and sisters the Kingdom of Heaven is basically eternal life because if we get into the kingdom of heaven we will have eternal life but yua was looking for somebody that had the mind of the spirit to recognize his authority it as not just the son of Joseph and Mary but who would recognize him as the son of Yahweh and by recognizing him as the son of Yahweh they they recognize his authority over Heaven and Earth now watch this when Peter recognized that yua was the son of 9 Yahweh then yua said okay I have found a man that I can trust a man that has recognized my authority over the church because Yeshua as the son of Yahweh is over the church the Bible said he is the head head of the body but he would not allow any man to rule in the church that does not recognize that he is the word of God in flesh now this is important the word of Yahweh is the Constitution or the law or the Torah yua was the word of Yahweh in flesh he was the Torah in flesh he was the Loos which is the word of Yahweh or the 10 plan of Yahweh in flesh somebody had to recognize that he was more than the son of Joseph but that he was in fact the son of Yahweh and when he found somebody that would recognize him as the authority over the church the word of God when somebody recognized his authority it was only then that they would be given Authority thems now let's go back to how I started this lesson today I told you that I was walking in my home today I put the key in the door to my kingdom if you will and immediately I Knew by the holy ghost that the word key means 11 Authority because brother and sister if you're listening to me right now you have no authority to enter in into my house unless I give you the authority to do it now if you were going in my home late at night and I wasn't there and someone called the police on you and said there's somebody breaking in Shane Von's home and the police pulled up and they said sir what are you doing at this house and if you were to show them the key if you were to say Mr V gave me a key to his home then they would call and verify I had given you the key and now 12 you're not an intruder you're not coming in out of rebellion but rather you are coming into my kingdom with authority to do so why because you have respected my kingdom enough to wait for the key before you come in yua was waiting for somebody to say I don't care what anybody else says about you I recognize you as the Living Word I recognize you as the Torah in flesh I recognize you as the predestined word of God that you have authority over the Ecclesia or the cahal or the church and Yeshua said because of your submission to who I am I am now giving you the author the 13 same Authority that I have I'm granting it to you to govern my church now watch this the church is not made up of a bunch of ghost the church is not made up of a bunch of spirits the church is made up of human people human beings and as such must be governed by human beings I know we're living in a day where everybody thinks there's no government in the church we're all just following Jesus but the problem with that is you can't see yua he is with the father interceding on our behalf but before he left the Bible said while he was going up into heaven he turned around and gave 14 gifts to his church those gifts are the Apostle the prophet the pastor the Evangelist and the teacher and he said to those men Peter standing there that day he said to you I'm granting authority over my government the word kingdom is an archaic word that we do not quite understand I teach all of my students to replace the word Kingdom with government because we all understand government so here's what yua told Peter because you have recognized the authority of the Torah because you've recognize the authority of the word over you I am now because you're submitted to the word I'm granting you authority to govern my kingdom which is the 15 church now notice what he tells them he said upon on this rock what rock this obedience to my authority upon this obedience obedience to who I am the Son of God not God the son or not my father but you have recognized me as the Son of God and because you have done that I'm going to now give you authority to govern and he said I'm going to give you so much Authority here's what he said so much Authority that I'm going to build my church on this legitimate word based Authority and he said the Gates of Hell will not Prevail against this church now for many years we did not 16 know what those word Gates of Hell shall not Prevail meant we just thought it was an expression but the word hell there is not some place called the Lake of Fire that word hell is the grave I want you to look at that now if you're studying that with me in Matthew 16 and 18 if you're studying this with me as you should be when you get to the word hell it is the word Hades now Hades is let me give you the exact meaning that way you can know for sure what we're saying to be the truth it is the word grave it is the realm of the dead it's 17 not the Lake of Fire it's the grave so here's what yua said I'm giving you the authority to govern my church Peter and to govern them in such a way that when it comes time for the resurrection they will be brought into such Perfection by your government that the grave will not be able to hold them Hallelujah the Gates of Hell the gates of the Grave which is the stone remember when yua said that they didn't have underground Graves like we do today they had suppliers with a stone rolled in front of the door that was called the Gates of Hell or the gates of the Grave it kept people that 18 were dead inside and people that were alive outside it kept grave robbers out and the dead in but yua said Peter you're going to govern my church with word based Authority so that they are ready for the resurrection and the the graves will not hold them back they will be a bride adorned for her husband you will have done your job perfectly and the grave will not hold them back notice why the grave will not hold the church back because of the government of men men that are submitted to the word of Yahweh men that are walking the word that are in obedience to the word that 19 are teaching the word that are walking in the fullness of the word they have an understanding of the word and they are governing in the authority of Peter which is the author of Christ they are part of that government they're preparing the church notice what the fivefold ministry is for for the equipping or the preparing of the Saints amen until those saints come into such Perfection Glory that the gates of the Grave cannot hold them back because they have qualified for the first resurrection listen brothers and sisters please hear me there is a spirit of rebellion that has crept into God's churches through witchcraft preachers Jezebel 20 prophetesses through Jezebel preachers through women out of control do you know what yua said about the last day church he said I have something against you you have allowed that woman out of her place Jezebel to teach you seducing doctrines lawlessness listen we're living in a day where there's no government in God's church because everybody refuses Authority listen to me Peter I'm giving you the authority to open the doors to my government Peter I'm giving you the authority to shut the doors to my kingdom I'm going to tell you that's a lot of power given to men folks do you know and I turn with me over to the Book 21 of John now and we're going to line all this up how and what Authority did God give his ministers to bind on Earth and loose on on Earth you've got to get the context about the gates of hell if the gates of hell is about the grave and it is if the grave will not hold us back Peter I'm giving you the authority to open the doors of the Grave hallelujah oh Hallelujah Peter I'm giving men human men the authority to either shut the grave door or open the grave door now listen carefully I'm fixing to show you how the men of God have that Authority today those that are 22 walking in the same submission that Peter walked in the one that is walking in the same Revelation that Yeshua was the son of Yahweh he told him he was the son of man but Peter recognized that he was the living Torah he was the word in flesh and because he submitted to who yua was he would now walk with the authority to open the graves or shut the graves for the saints of God now how does that happen whatever you bind on Earth Peter they will not get into the kingdom of heaven but whatever you loose on Earth Peter they will get into the Kingdom of Heaven they 23 will come out of the graves and the gates of the Grave will not hold them back Peter they're coming out of the Grave because you are being given the authority to shut the grave or open the grave for the saints of God now how did he get that Authority obedience to who yua was he walked in the word amen he preached the truth without fear or favor he believed that yua was the son of Yahweh now go with me to the Book of John and I'll close in the Book of John here Yeshua came the day of his resurrection on a Sunday evening when it 24 was evening time about 24 hours after he resurrected in John chapter 20 there's a bunch of disciples that's hiding out like a bunch of cowards hiding afraid of what was going to happen to them and listen what Yeshua said uh I won't read the whole thing I'll start with verse 21 then said Yeshua to them again peace be unto you as my father has sent me even so send I you and when he said this he breathed on them and said unto him now receive the Holy Ghost he breathed on them he's now resurrected he's now the firstborn of many Brethren he's now the captain of 25 their salvation he's now the firstborn of the first fruit he's now the elder brother of the Elohim he is king of kings and now he breathes on them and tells them now y'all are the first to receive the Holy Spirit and then notice what he said unto them let's skip down and uh we're going to see uh after he said it now let's go to verse 23 notice what yua told a bunch of men a bunch of broken imperfect flawed I mean wasn't Peter just denying our Lord some days earlier didn't he just cut a man's ear off oh hallelujah thank God that he he 26 has to depend on imperfect men if he didn't we would all be most miserable and without hope but he told these imperfect men that had received a perfect message of who yua was he said to them now he's going to going to go back to what he told him before he left the Earth whenever he told him I'm giving you the keys to the kingdom the authority of the government I'm giving it to you here he's going to tell them what he means by that he says whosoever sins you remit they are remitted unto them but whosoever sins you retain they are retained I'm going to 27 ask every one of you who do you think's coming up out of the grave in the first resurrection those that have been their sins have been forgiven amen and guess who has the authority I know rebellious people hate this kind of preaching because they only follow Jesus they don't follow any man you're a liar from Hell the Bible says John the John the Revelator told them John said to them I have taught you truth follow me in this we all follow somebody believe that most of you men following your wives that's the problem you following a man she's just dressed in a dress listen to me and please 28 listen carefully he said whosoever sins you remit they're forgiven well I thought only God had the power to forgive sin he does and only the queen has the power to arrest anybody in England but if she sends her proxy called the policeman that comes in the name of the Queen then he fulfills the role of the queen in her Authority only God can forgive sins but guess how he does it are you ready he said whosoever sins you remit they're remitted but if you don't remit their sins then they will be bound whatever you bound on the earth whatever you keep in that grave heaven will honor you men 29 of God but whatsoever you loose from the grave will be loosed into the kingdom of God now how does that happen your answer is found in the book of Acts chapter 2 verse 38 repent and be baptized what was the Great Commission go and baptize all men teaching them to observe everything that I've commanded he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved and what did Joshua just tell his Earthly government of men whosoever sins you remit or in other words whomever you baptize in the lovely name with my authority if you're submitted to me them me baptizing them and they shall be loosed their sins be baptized every one 30 of you for the loosening of your sins whatsoever is loosed on Earth shall be loosed in heaven the Keys of the Kingdom of God was granted to imperfect men the author
