Isaiah 22:15-25 Authority


"I will clothe him with your robe, gird him with your sash, confer on him your authority. He shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. I will place the key of the House of David on his shoulder; what he opens, no one will shut, what he shuts, no one will open."  ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭22:21-22‬

Isaiah 22:15-25  Authority.  Authority is kept through obedience to our Father in Heaven and lost by serving self and not God.  Isaiah speaks of Jesus carrying the key to Heaven.  It was closed to us when Adam disobeyed his Father, Jesus opened Heaven to us to never be shut again, He bore it all for us.  He also passes on His authority in Apostolic succession when He gave this authority to Peter.  "And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.""  ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭16:18-19‬ ""To the angel of the church in Philadelphia, write this: "'The holy one, the true, who holds the key of David, who opens and no one shall close, who closes and no one shall open, says this: "'"I know your works (behold, I have left an open door before you, which no one can close). You have limited strength, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name."  ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:7-8‬  It is our obedience to the Father that gains us entry and it is our sin that denies His existence.  You have limited strength, Jesus doesn't, greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.  1 John 4:4b. Be obedient accept His authority and live forever.  

What is God saying to me: Breathe, just be in this moment together.  

Dear Lord, it is knowing the past that we see the future, Your Son knew the past and could see the future as it approached.  I thank You for the insights into Your word and the way You are teaching me.  There is so much there but You give bite size pieces that build upon each other.  Continue to instruct me Father with Your Holy Spirit, and lead the way.  Prayers for friends that are sick, You are the Great Healer of body and soul.   May we be obedient to Your will and not deny You in actions.  I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.

Mary. Our Lady of Sorrows, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pray for us.
