The Key of David

Isaiah 22:22 The key of the house of David I will lay on his shoulder;
So he shall open, and no one shall shut; and he shall shut, and no one shall open.

Intimacy with Messiah is anchored by the intimacy we attain with others of like faith.
Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?

If relationships are nothing more than "the blind leading the blind",
then watch out for the ditch.
Matthew 18:
18 Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever
you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
19 I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask,
it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name,
I am there in the midst of them.

The state of the world and religion is never an excuse to not seek, find, and
perform the Will of the Father.
Romans 12:
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your
bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Revelation 3:
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write,
These things says He who is holy, He who is true, He who has the key of David,
He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens:
8 I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it;
for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.
