KEYS OF ASCENSION, Part 2

                    Last time we ended with:

                    Are we ready and willing to let go of limited beliefs of The Christ? So many in Christianity are still worshiping and waiting for Jesus, when the The Christ is willing and ready to participate Now!

                    ....the conclusion:

                    During Jesus’ discourse with Peter he revealed another great potential we possess. After Peter recognized The Christ, and not just a man; 'Thou art The Christ, the Son of the living God.' Notice, he didn’t say he was Jesus Christ, but The Christ! After this acknowledgment, Jesus was able to give Peter the Keys of the Kingdom!

                    A very important point for us to realize is that Jesus came and awakened The Christ within himself. He was not, and would never be the only Christ. He came to be the Way shower so all could go within themselves and awaken The Christ too.

                    Before we discuss these keys, let’s look at Verse 18. 'And I say unto thee, thou art Peter, and upon this rock, I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.' We all know a large church which has based their whole belief system on this verse. They feel the foundation of their church was built on the man Peter, and only he received the Keys to the Kingdom. Those keys they believe, have been passed down to those which have succeeded Peter, but were not given to everyone! How sad, and this has kept most of mankind in a powerless state! Let’s open this up and see the greater truth!

                    Jesus said, 'And I say unto thee, that thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.' Peter in Greek is 'Petros' and means 'a piece of rock.' Jesus was acknowledging Peter as a 'Piece of the rock' but what was he really saying would be the foundation of his church? Let’s use another verse to help us fully understand.

                    Matthew 7:24 'Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man who built his house upon a rock.” Jesus was revealing his sayings, or revelations, would be the Rock or foundation! So what was the rock the church would be built on….the Revelation of The Christ Peter had, not a man! The rock is representative of a solid foundation we must build our spiritual beliefs on. If our beliefs are based on our true Source as eternal infinite spirit, when the winds of confusion come and blow, our lives (house) will not fall apart. So the rock the church would be built on was Peter’s revelation of The Christ within, not a man. When we recognize The Christ we will know it cannot be destroyed, cannot get sick or even die! This knowledge of who we really are is the only thing which can sustain us.

                    Also remember it says, the gates of hell cannot prevail against this revelation. Hell is a state of mind which produces illness, lack, pain, anger, depression. and war. How will these things be overcome? By a revelation of The Christ and using the keys we are each given

                    I want to offer here a greater definition of the word “church” than most of us realized. Church has been taught as “a calling out, or called out ones.” Most have been taught these are people called out of the world into Christianity. I have discovered the meaning is much more spiritual and inclusive than that! One of the root words for church is “ek.” It denotes origin (the point whence motion or action proceeds) from out of place time or cause, completion.” I believe the word “church” includes all of mankind. We were all “called out” of the very same origin, God. When the vibration was released, “Let there be Light” all mankind proceeded from the point when motion or action originated, the place of perfection and completion! All mankind is the church…the called out of God! Church is an inclusive word for mankind who has all been called out of God to come into this realm.

                    This puts a much greater meaning on Peter’s revelation. The foundation all mankind would be built on was revelation of The Christ, or the divine infinite spirit, within them!   Christ is the title of the God within all men!   I love it!!! None are left behind!! All can and will come to a knowing of their true origin…… Divinity! It is this revelation which enables us to receive the Keys of the Kingdom within us!

                    Let’s now examine these keys. Verse 19, “And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” The keys we are given after the revelation of The keys are methods to ascension in our heaven. They contain the power we have been giving to ascend to a consciousness of peace, joy, abundance and love. These keys give us the power of loosing and binding our inner beliefs.

                    Once we know we are an embodiment of divinity we can begin using our powers of loosing and binding. We can loose old beliefs which have not served us and replace them with beliefs of higher God consciousness. The power to bind truth and hold on to it until it manifests in your earth is ours through these keys! The power to loose thoughts of hate and anger and in their place, bind thoughts of love and peace is available to us.

                    In the past we have bound many things which kept us from entering a heavenly state of consciousness. We have felt powerless to change our thoughts. With the revelation of The Christ a transformation takes place within. We awaken to the great keys we hold. We know the answers and changes we have sought are within our very Being. It is all contained in our powers to loose and bind.

                    Faith, or belief, does not walk by sight. It is here, binding and loosing must begin, in the invisible realm of spirit. When I see war, I now loose that thought, and replace it with a vision of peace. I continue to bind that vision of peace, no matter what evidence to the contrary comes my way. I do it daily, and daily I loose thoughts which do not produce peace in my heavens. Peace is really not just the absence of war, but the absence of all negativity and duality. I have the power to loose all thoughts which do not align with peace and so do you!

                    Those keys were given each of us 2,000 years ago, but they could only be received by an ascended consciousness. A consciousness willing to release what it sees with physical eyes, and embraced and believes the revelation of infinite spirit! Can we let go of the physical and embrace the truth of our Being. There is nothing “out there” some place which can help us. The phenomena of an infinite, all powerful spirit is within all mankind waiting to be recognized…….you can call it what you please, for whatever man calls it, it is really all the same. I call it The Christ and I see it in every man, woman, and child and I am using my keys to 'Loose' this revelation to the world!
