What Heaven Is Saying Today by Pastor James Durham

(testing how email works)

This morning I met Jesus as soon as I arrived in His

I immediately understood in my spirit by the Holy Spirit that there were five different types of keys on the ring given by the Lord. The Holy Spirit led me to Isaiah 22:22, “I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.” This was the key which unlocked Jesus’ destiny and identified His purpose to be the one who would sit on the throne of David and rule forever. One of the keys given this morning was to unlock the destiny of each recipient. If you have received prophetic words or revelations from the Lord identifying your destiny, but you have not been able to step into it yet, I believe that you can receive the key which will open it up for you now. Time is short. We don’t have time to delay moving toward our destiny. We need to be in it right now. Receive the key! Unlock the door and walk through it!

Then the Holy Spirit led me to Matthew 16:19, “And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” I understood that there are three types of keys included in this teaching. First, there are the keys to open heaven for others and to bind and loose things in accordance with His Word. There are also key kingdom concepts which we have not yet fully learned and the keys offered by the Lord are the principles which will open the door to our understanding as Jesus did for the disciples on the way to Emmaus. The third type of kingdom key is related to what Jesus said in Luke 17:20-21, “Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”

The fifth type of Key is identified in Revelation 1:18, “I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.” The Lord was giving these keys so that we can lock the gates of hell and the grave in the lives of those we lead to the Lord. Every person who fully accepts Jesus, loves Him, and obeys Him will be open to the indwelling of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Another aspect of these keys is for us to open the doors of death and hell and draw people out as if from the fire itself. I remembered Jude 1:22-23, “Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.”
