When Jesus arrived in the villages of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “What are people saying about who the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some think he is John the Baptizer, some say Elijah, some Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.” He pressed them, “And how about you? Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter said, “You’re the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus came back, “God bless you, Simon, son of Jonah! You didn’t get that answer out of books or from teachers. My Father in heaven, God himself, let you in on this secret of who I really am. And now I’m going to tell you who you are, really are. You are Peter, a rock. This is the rock on which I will put together my church, a church so expansive with energy that not even the gates of hell will be able to keep it out. “And that’s not all. You will have complete and free access to God’s kingdom, keys to open any and every door: no more barriers between heaven and earth, earth and heaven. A yes on earth is yes in heaven. A no on earth is no in heaven.”
Matthew 16:13-19 (MSG)
Our ability to Open Up The Way to God’s promises for our lives can not and will not be achieved on our own, it requires our synergy with God, His Spirit active in our lives. In every one of us, there are weaknesses and threats, some we are aware of and others we are unaware of, nevertheless, God has predestined our way and provided ways of escape, He knew and knows, thus His leading and guiding are required. God created us so that we could and would depend on Him, revealing Him in the fullness of His presence, power, and promises fulfilled. God Knows The Plans He Has For You, therefore move from just knowing about Him to knowing Him, intimately and personally in your every day walking around experiences. As a result of knowing God for yourself, through your experiences you forge and form the required intimate and personal relationship, realizing that your experience’s primary function is to bring you closer to Him and His promises of abundance for your life.
