I had a dream where I met one of my school friends from over 50 years ago.
He had lost a particularly important key and told me about it. I did as usual
when facing difficulties: I first prayed to Adonai Yeshua for help. Then I went
to look for the key and the Spirit said: Look on the floor, under the wardrobe!
There was the key and I reached to take it out and took it to my school friend.
Losing the key
It is very embarrassing when you notice that the key for your apartment has disappeared. If it's winter and you're coming home in the evening, but you can't find the key in your pockets. If you also live alone in your apartment, losing your key can be expensive and you may have to wait a long time for the apartment or townhouse maintenance man. This rarely happens to young people, but it happens more often to older people.
I have put spare key to my apartment in the pockets of several of my trousers and in my backpack just in case I don't lose the key when I change my over trousers. Another way would be to put the key to the front door of the apartment on a chain and around your neck or belt. You can also give the spare key to a trusted acquaintance if he stays at home and does not often do inter-rail or long trips abroad.
The key can be stolen
Some people may have acquaintances who steal keys from their friends in order to sneak into their apartment while they know the person living in the apartment is away. I was once surprised by a comment from one of my familiar colleagues when, as usual, I asked when he spends his summer vacation(?) He replied: "What's up with you!" He continued: “I know of a case where a man had told a colleague when he was taking his summer vacation and that he would be traveling to Southern Europe then.
After returning home from there, the man found that his entire apartment had been emptied and the financial loss was really great". I didn't continue the conversation beyond that, and I didn't ask if he himself was the man whose apartment had been broken into during the vacation. The answer I got was really rude and revealed that he has no confidence in his co-worker, even though we've known each other for about 10 years, he could have just said, "I haven't decided it yet."
Nowadays, even locks do not prevent thieves
Nowadays, cars and other vehicles are stolen and apartments are broken into, especially during the holidays, even by international crime syndicates. Stolen catch is transported abroad in trucks and sold to brokers. It's a lucrative business. A few years ago, it happened in the middle of a clear day in Turku that car thieves changed the license plates to a Mercedes-Benz, broke into it and tried to drive it through customs to a foreign country. It was not an isolated case.
How true is our Savior's teaching even today: Matt. 6:19-21
>>19 "Do not accumulate for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But accumulate for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.<<
People's hearts also have a door and a lock
Our Creator created it for each of us and gave us the authority to prevent harmful things and doctrines from being adopted and entering our hearts. That is why we must always be on the alert, because the spirit prince of this world seeks to get inside us to take control of us and then to finally take us with him to destruction!
Our savior Yeshua HaMashiach is tactful in not forcing his way into us in order to save us from being lost. Instead, he knocks on the door of our heart and politely asks for permission to enter: Rev. 3:20
>>Listen! I am standing at the door and knocking! If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come into his home and share a meal with him, and he with me.<<
Freeing people enslaved by the devil
Unfortunately, it often happens that a person does not watch himself and his thoughts, but lets the spirit of darkness, devil's spirit and demon into his heart. Our Creator knew it in advance and has therefore given us, his fellow workers, the power to free those souls who groan as slaves to many kinds of lusts and yearn to be freed from them. In this case, we believers in Adonai Yeshua have been given the following powers:
A) Matt. 18:18-19
>>18 "I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever you release on earth will have been released in heaven. 19 Again, I tell you the truth, if two of you on earth agree about whatever you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you.<<
B) Matt. 10:8
>>Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.<<
The teaching that these gifts of grace to do mighty works would no longer be valid is a heresy. Now if ever we need the diligent use of these gifts of grace, because today there are people possessed by evil spirits everywhere, although most of them don't even know it!
We have a sure refuge in Adonai Yeshua!
When we have opened the door of our hearts to him and given him full authority to rule over us and lead us to him with the help of his Holy Spirit in the glory of heaven, no power in the world can prevent it, for our Savior, in addition to being given all authority in heaven and on earth, also has the authority to rule Death and Hades! Rev. 1:12-18
>>12 I turned to see whose voice was speaking to me, and when I did so, I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the lampstands was one like a son of man. He was dressed in a robe extending down to his feet and he wore a wide golden belt around his chest.
14 His head and hair were as white as wool, even as white as snow, and his eyes were like a fiery flame. 15 His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. 16 He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp double-edged sword extended out of his mouth. His face shone like the sun shining at full strength.
17 When I saw him I fell down at his feet as though I were dead, but he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid! I am the first and the last, 18 and the one who lives! I was dead, but look, now I am alive - forever and ever - and I hold the keys of Death and of Hades!<<
