Matt 16:18-19

“…I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. 19 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 will build my church.” – Jesus

__

“There is a connection between the Kingdom of God and the church. As the church proclaims the good news of the Kingdom people will come into the church and begin to experience the blessings of Gods rule in their lives. The Kingdom manifests itself through the church, and thereby the future reign of God breaks into the present.” Wayne Grudem, Systematic Theology

__

Matthew 16:19

19 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 believe that as a church in this present generation we are possibly operating well below the level of delegated authority we have received.

We have the full authority of Heaven to carry out everything good work that Jesus is calling us to.

“It all comes back to the disciples. They were the vanguard of this developing movement. Through their word He expected others to believe…and these in turn would pass the word along to others, until in time the world might know who He is and what He came to do. His whole evangelistic strategy – indeed, the fulfillment of His very purpose in coming into the world, dying on the cross, and rising from the grave – depended on the faithfulness of His chosen disciples to this task. It did not matter how small the group was to start with so long as they reproduced and taught their disciples to reproduce. This was the way His Church was to win…He had no other plan.” Robert Coleman, The Master Plan of Evangelism
