I just read an amazing article and something really stood out to me. It said the Faith is the currency of heaven. Hopefully I can explain in full what God has revealed to me. God wants us to understand His kingdom, which is in heaven. Jesus told us in the "Lord's Prayer" in the book of Matthew that he wants his kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven. God wants to send down blessings from heaven.
I woke up in early this morning to something that God wanted to show me. I always had a hard time thinking that there shouldn't be sickness, pain, frustration, hurt, anger, poverty, doubt, etc here on earth. But as I awoke I had this odd vision. I was sitting in heaven and I had the chance to see all that was waiting for me (although I cannot tell you what it was- I just knew it was there). God asked me that if I had a chance what would I throw out of heaven down to myself on earth. I said ALL of it! He told me that was fine as long as I was willing to make room on earth for the things from heaven. I was puzzled for a moment then he reminded me of a scripture I have been pondering. "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose will be loosed in heaven." (Matthew 16:19). Then I saw myself with a thick rope tying things up and then I got to throw something out of heaven at myself.
Here's what he revealed to me through that vision. My life on earth seems to be really full but I have to bind (tie up and put into bondage) the things that are not from him or that is not from heaven. (sickness, pain, frustration, etc.) Then I can use my key to heaven to unlock a blessing by making in loose (release, the opposite of bind). WOW, we have keys to heaven and we don't have to die to get them. Well, do have to die but that isn't painful or bad, we just die to self and accept Jesus as our master. Heaven can make deposits into our life. How do we do that? Through faith. It is through building your faith- not just hope. Faith is the knowledge of things not yet seen. How do we get that knowledge, through knowing God. Listening when he is speaking, reading what he has said, trusting in his unfailing love for us.
I might not have mountains of diamonds or piles of gold (in fact my bank account proves this), but I will forever be rich and blessed as long as I have faith. I will continue to make my deposits and enjoy the wealth. I will seek after his kingdom, in this I will be greedy! However, I know that another way to build your faith is by giving (the sowing and reaping principle). So I am giving! Take information and use your keys to heaven. I hope you feel my excitement! I am in paradise!
"With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God." -Mark 10:27
"This is the confidence we have in approaching God; that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And we know that he hears us -whatever we ask- we know that we have what we asked of him. -I John 5: 14, 15
