Kingdom Keys

Read:  Matthew Chapter 16

“Simon Peter replied, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’  And Jesus answered him, ‘Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah!  For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is heaven.’” (vs 16,17)

When Peter was able to discern God’s revelation and proclaim in faith that Jesus is Christ, it was then Jesus was able to reveal who Peter is and God’s will here on earth.  The same is true for us.  As we sit at Jesus’ throne and receive His Word by faith, we are able to see clearly who we are in Christ and hear God’s will for us in His Kingdom.

Lord, quiet my heart in Your Presence.  I long to connect with You.  Speak to me in these blessed moments.  I want to hear Your Voice.
