Complete Access

Complete Access

“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.” (Matthew 16:19 MSG)

These days, most large businesses issue ID cards embedded with microchips to their employees. Depending on their security clearance, these cards allow workers to access certain doorways, non-public areas, and  restricted zones inside the buildings. Only a company-issued ID card will work for this purpose; employees cannot substitute their driver’s licenses, passports, or credit cards in its place.

“He has identified us as his own by placing the Holy Spirit in our hearts.” (2 Corinthians 1:22 NLT)

“From now on everyone is defined by Christ.” (Colossians 3:11 MSG)

Our identity is in Christ. We are defined by Christ. We have been embedded with the Holy Spirit. This gives us complete access to the spiritual realm. We have authority over the tangible and the intangible, the visible and the invisible, the natural and the supernatural. How we use this power is up to us. Many of us never go beyond the earthly realm. We try to substitute our earthly identities in place of our spiritual identities. Our concerns are self-limiting. We are intimidated by what we cannot fully comprehend. So we ignore the Holy Spirit and go about our day focused on temporal things. We choose to forfeit the spiritual power that is within us. We miss out on intimacy with our Lord. 

Jesus, our identity comes from You. You have taken down all barriers, allowing us to sense the spiritual as well as the earthly. We are no longer separated from Your Spirit. Help us to be aware of Your presence as we go about our daily lives. May we fully use the unlimited access and power that You have provided through the Holy Spirit within us.
