I kept a key on my keychain,  Even though I physically had relocated, I yet carried this old key. I allowed it a place of lodging which gave access to me, and me to it by keeping it attached to my keychain. The key was useless to my present for it represented my past.  The Lord gave me this word, after I encountered a situation with the key of my past, and could not get in my apartment. I had my keychain, but since the past key looked similar to my new key, I chose it by mistake, and tried to unlock my NOW door with it, after minutes of frustration, I realized it was the wrong key.  Why was I yet holding on to this old key, it could not unlock my NOW door, that I desparately needed opened,  it had already locked my past door, so now unless I had intentions of going back to my past location unauthorized, this key was useless. I realized this was a useless key attached to my progressing destination. After fumbling to find my rightful key I gained access to my apartment. The Lord let me know that although I tried to unlock my new destination with an old key, the only thing it did was frustrate, hinder, and delay me for it took away time that I could have spent on something else, Why am I holding on to this old key I asked myself?        My answer was because I may have been afraid of letting go of the past, because maybe I felt that I needed it for some reason or another, maybe I felt that I would possibly return to this old place not realizing that should I have returned, the key would still be useless to me, for the place where I used to live may have now been occupied by someone else.

The Word speaks of first natural then spritual, Why couldn't I take the old key off of my keychain and throw it away? Did I not realize that whoever finds the key, do not know me, and if they did know me and they knew it was my key, they would not have access to anything but emptiness, for the place where I used to live would be unoccupied, they would not be able to open any where I am, for they do not have access into my NOW destiny, I don't live there anymore. The only one that can do anything with that key is the landlord of the old house, however, if I did not return the old key upon moving, his options would only be to change the locks , so He can't even do anything with the key.

So there I was  holding on to a key that was useless to me of which I was afraid to let go of, for whatever reason and could not use. So the moral or lesson learned here is that I hold the keys to my past and my present.  I have the power and the wisdom to choose what I desire in life.  I can not continue to  choose to desire to move up in God and yet hold on to my past key that will cause me to fumble, be frustrated, hindered, delayed, and ignorant, or continue to borrow the office key from my new destination that will allow access temporarily, or choose to purchase a new key which will cost me repeating things I have already gone through in my life or I can choose to keep up, be alert as to where I am in life, throw away the old, and cling on to the new key and enter inot my new destination to enjoy what the Lord has for me.

Prophetically speaking no one knows your past but you, God, those associated with your past, and satan. Only you can choose to hold on and fear letting go. When chose to throw my old key away, I gave up all fears, ties, associations, memories, etc that went along with it, why? I was ready for the new place that God had for me. I use the old things in my life and the former places I have been as a testimony to those who are seeking answers to why they cannot enter into their new places in God. I threw this old key away realizing only God and I will know what it unlocked and locked in my life. No one else has to know unless God prompts me to share. Stop telling others where I use to live, it only goes on your application for things you desire in life, and only if they request it. You cannot get deliverance from a thing until you face it. just as he asked  ADAM WHERE ART THOU! you must realize where you are NOW! now where you have been.

Begin to accept the new place in my life, throw the past out, and forget it. it has frustrated, hindered, delayed, and decieved me and you long enough. It decieved me when it acted like it was the right key every time I tried to get a door opened to my destiny and put it in and nothing opens, it frustrated me and delayed and hindered me when it took the time to do all of that. Today I know the key to use to go in and out of my new place in God, and that is the keys to the Kingdom for the word says I have given you the keys to the kingdom and whatsoever you bind on earth, I have already bound in Heaven and whatsoever you loose on earth I have already loosed in Heaven. Jesus Christ is my new keys for he said if you abide in me and my words abide in you, you can ask what you will and it shall be done unto you.  Be blessed and know what Key you are holding. copyright 2008 Maxine Hopkins
