This sermon begins by looking at Matthew 16:17-19, where Jesus reveals the significance of the keys to the kingdom of heaven. The message encourages us to embrace the joy of being in God’s presence, reminding us that our access to the kingdom is rooted in our relationship with the Holy Spirit. We explore the dual realities of heaven: the kingdom of God, which encompasses believers, and the kingdom of darkness, where spiritual forces operate. As we unpack the concept of being born again, we reflect on the transformative power of the Spirit that grants us authority to act on God’s behalf. Join us as we discuss the importance of preaching the gospel as a means of spiritual warfare, declaring the victory of Christ over sin, death, and darkness, and inviting others into the family of God.
