Keys of the Kingdom
by John Clark Sr.
"Jesus said unto [Peter]. . . 'I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven.' " Mt.16:19
Christian artists through the centuries have drawn many pictures of Peter standing at a gate in heaven, holding a set of huge keys, and allowing the righteous to enter while turning sinners away.
That is not what Jesus meant when he promised the keys of the kingdom to Peter. Such pictures indicate that where understanding is lacking, imagination will fill the void.
The kingdom of God, according to Paul, is "righteousness, peace, and joy in the holy Ghost" (Rom.14:17). Then, when one receives the holy Ghost, when his soul is washed by the spirit of God, he has entered into God's kingdom. The "keys" which Jesus gave to Peter was actually a special anointing to be the first to introduce this kingdom of heaven - the first to minister the holy Ghost baptism - to the three kinds of people on earth in his time. This is an essential point. Every apostle was anointed with power, of course, but none of them could minister the baptism of the Spirit until Peter had unlocked that "door" to the three kinds of people on the earth.
on, whose surname is Peter. He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do."
Meanwhile, in Joppa, God was dealing with Peter's heart so that he would be willing to enter a Gentiles' house. By means of a remarkable vision, God compelled Peter to accept Cornelius's invitation, and, having arrived in Caesarea, Peter began to proclaim the gospel to Cornelius, and to his family and friends who had gathered in the house. Unlike Philip with the Samaritans, Peter did not have to wait until someone from Jerusalem came to pray for these people to receive the holy Ghost; he had the keys to the kingdom with him! And "while Peter spake these words, the holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And they of the circumcision [Jews] which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God."
Peter's work with the keys was now complete. All three doors to God's kingdom had been opened. First to the Jews, then to the Samaritans, and finally to the Gentiles. Since that time, "whosoever will" has been allowed to drink of the Spirit of life freely. While the door of God's kingdom is still open, my friend, strive to enter in. Be wise. "Seek the Lord while He may be found. Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon."
THREE KINDS OF PEOPLE
After his resurrection, Jesus remained with his disciples forty days, "speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God" (Acts 1:3). The disciples, filled more with zeal than with knowledge, believed that Jesus's plan was to overthrow the Romans and restore Israel's past military and political glory. When they excitedly asked, "Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?", Jesus responded, "It is not for you to know the times or the seasons which the Father has put in His own power. But you shall receive power, after that the holy Ghost is come upon you. And ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth" (Acts 1:7-8). After saying this, Jesus was taken up into heaven. But note the three all-encompassing groups of people to whom Jesus said the apostles would be sent:
(1) JEWS ("Jerusalem and Judea")
(2) SAMARITANS ("Samaria")
(3) GENTILES ("uttermost part of the earth")
In time, each group was given the opportunity to enter God's kingdom. And each, in turn, had its door opened by the man whom God had anointed to do so - Peter. According to the wise plan of God, the Jews would be the first to hear the gospel (Acts 13:45-46). With a powerful sermon on the day of Pentecost, Peter opened the door to his fellow Jews: "Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them [the Jews], Ye men of Judea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words. . . ." As a result of Peter's anointed preaching, many Jews that day believed in Jesus, repented of their sins, and entered into the kingdom of God. On that day, for the first time, Peter used one of his keys to the kingdom of God, the key for the Jews, and many Jews entered the open door to receive the righteousness, peace, and joy of the holy Ghost. Of course, after Peter opened the Jews' door, other anointed men could lead other Jews into the kingdom; but Peter had to be the first to do so because he had the keys. Samaritans and Gentiles, too, would be given the opportunity to repent and receive the Spirit, but Jews had to be first (Acts 13:46; Rom.1:16).
Next in line to receive the holy Ghost, or to enter into the kingdom of God, were the Samaritans, who were a bridge between Jews and Gentiles. The first preaching to the Samaritans was done by the Apostle Philip. He performed mighty miracles, cast out demons, healed the sick, told them about Jesus, and baptized in water those who believed the gospel, "and there was great joy in that city" (Acts 8:5-8). But none of the Samaritans received the holy Ghost yet! Philip was anointed with power from God, but he could not yet lead the Samaritans into the kingdom because the Samaritans' door had not yet been opened. The Samaritans believed the word of God that Philip preached, but that's as far as they could go. They could only stand at the door of the kingdom until Peter came from Jerusalem with his anointing, his spiritual key to open their door to the kingdom.
In Jerusalem, upon hearing of the wonderful results of Philip's preaching in Samaria, the assembly of apostles "sent unto them Peter and John, who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the holy Ghost (for as yet he was fallen upon none of them, only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus). Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the holy Ghost" (Acts 8:14-16). The Samaritan door was now open. As in the case of the Jews, now that Peter had opened the Samaritan door, other Samaritans could receive the holy Ghost by hearing other men preach the gospel. Their door was open; whosoever among the Samaritans who desired the waters of life could freely drink. Peter did not have to be present for every Samaritan or Jewish conversion. He merely had to open their doors.
Peter's last key was one which God had to coerce him to use, for Peter did not even think that such a key existed. No one in the church knew that there was a door through which even Gentiles could enter into God's kingdom. The opening of the Gentiles' door (Acts 10) is an incredible story of faith and obedience, beginning with "a certain [Gentile] in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band, a devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the [Jewish] people, and prayed to God always." As this man Cornelius prayed, an angel appeared to him, speaking a few words of encouragement and giving him a directive from God. "Send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter
He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do."
Meanwhile, in Joppa, God was dealing with Peter's heart so that he would be willing to enter a Gentiles' house. By means of a remarkable vision, God compelled Peter to accept Cornelius's invitation, and, having arrived in Caesarea, Peter began to proclaim the gospel to Cornelius, and to his family and friends who had gathered in the house. Unlike Philip with the Samaritans, Peter did not have to wait until someone from Jerusalem came to pray for these people to receive the holy Ghost; he had the keys to the kingdom with him! And "while Peter spake these words, the holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And they of the circumcision [Jews] which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God."

"Seek the Lord while He may be found. Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon."

YOU ARE GUILTY
hello, so do U know any one who can actually perceive , familiar spirits and the Holy Spirit .. ? as i have been able 2..
as i was talking to some one i went to school with at St.Joan of arc..
as i told her i was looking forward to the Confirmation ceremony in the 4th grade .. because i thought every one would get baptised in the Holy Ghost..
but alas... nothing happened to the other children.. i could still perceive the spirit..
and everyone was.. still spiritually dead..
just like in 1969.. when U , maureen, and myself.. went thru the class.."life in the spirit" ..
"Maureen Barledge what a good example of a dishonest gold digger snake in the grass"
liar back-stabbing slander, oh well .. this is to be expected..
any way.. the Roman Catholic "life in the spirit" group didn't really have it going for themselves.. because when
they lay ed hands on us.. and "nothing happened"..just another ceremony
O'boy... what a thrilling example of Roman Catholic teaching and training..
and 30+ years... later in detroit.. at ST Margrets of Scotland.. i assisted .. in the training.. there..
and i was the only one who knew the scripture basis and the anointing to demonstrate .. and illustrate how and why it works.. but that is because i had been praying in tongues for about 7 years for about 2 hours a day.. and could illustrate the applications..
years before this ,.. as i was explaining the scriptures.. 2 my mother in the back yard.. as the Holy Spirit manifested upon us..
i couldn't speak in English.. so i could demonstrate how tongs and interpretation worked..
(this also happened when i was at a 7th day Adventist church with bill geib)

Hello,
6 And Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, We took no bread.
8 And Jesus perceiving it said, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have no bread?
Jesus cautions against the doctrine of the Alvin Glombowski.
Christ speaks of spiritual things under a similitude, and the disciples misunderstand him of carnal things.
He took it ill that they should think him as thoughtful about bread as they were; that they should be so little acquainted with his way of preaching. Then understood they what he meant.
Christ teaches by the Spirit of wisdom in the heart, opening the understanding to the Spirit of revelation in the word. (Mt 16:13-20)
