And that’s not all. You will have complete and free access to God’s kingdom,

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 16:19

Keys Speak Of:
- Access.
- Authority &

.
- Open doors: unlimited opportunity and unhindered access.
- Shut doors: the ability to shut off and hinder access.

5 Peter was therefore kept in prison, but

was offered to God for him by the church. 6 And when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping, bound with two chains between two soldiers; and the guards before the door were keeping the prison. 
7 Now behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison; and he struck Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, “Arise quickly!” And his chains fell off his hands. 8 Then the angel said to him, “Gird yourself and tie on your sandals”; and so he did. And he said to him, “Put on your garment and follow me.” 
9 So he went out and followed him, and did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision. 
10 When they were past the first and the second guard posts, they came to the iron gate that leads to the city, which opened to them of its own accord; and they went out and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.11 And when Peter had come to himself, he said, “Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the Jewish people.” —Acts 12:5-11
Prayer is .

22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray,

that you receive them, and you will have them. —Matthew 11:22-24
Just because you don’t see a sign, doesn’t mean God’s not on your behalf.

Follow God’s Directions:
- God looses the chains, and opens the doors, but you’ve got to walk through them!
- You’ve got to

into your freedom.

human-made that God can’t move!

12 So, when he had considered this, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together praying. 13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a girl named Rhoda came to answer. 14 When she recognized Peter’s voice, because of her gladness she did not open the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter stood before the gate. 15 But they said to her, “You are beside yourself!” Yet she kept insisting that it was so. So they said, “It is his angel.”
16 Now Peter

knocking; and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished. —Acts 12:12-16
Miracles are for our .

Now to Him who is

to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. —Ephesians 3:20
