TO TRULY LEARN THE ART OF RISING ABOVE, YOU MUST BE EMPOWERED WITH THE KEYS
Jesus speaking: I learned the art of rising above when I was there on Earth, with My first disciples, and I have imparted the basic truth of this principle to you throughout My Words. You have always known that the impossible is possible, that you need not be held down by things that seem to be; you have always known that all power was given unto Me in Heaven and Earth–and therefore was available to you in My name.
But with the keys, I am making this power more accessible, more apparent, more obvious, more down to earth, more real. With these keys you have gained access to spiritual understanding, treasures, riches, and secrets that were veiled or mysterious or vague before. Even the concept of “rising above” as given at the time of the Feast was somewhat vague. The concept of “using the keys” was also somewhat vague at the start. Yet now, as you are becoming more accustomed to using the keys, as you are growing in your knowledge and understanding of their use and power, you have gained and will yet gain greater insight to and understanding of the spirit world. Now you are ready to truly understand what rising above can mean.
It means complete overcoming, complete victory, complete freedom. It doesn’t mean just a sort of deliverance, a major change, or a huge step of progress, or a victory won over many years. It means complete transformation. It means leaving the weights and sins that so easily beset you behind once and for all. That is the complete fulfillment of rising above. That is the power given to you through the keys. If you are desperate for a change in your life, for more fruit in your witnessing ministry, or for a miracle of whatever kind, if you will call on the keys of the Kingdom to enable you to rise above, you will gain a victory the likes of which you have not known before.
The victories won through the keys of the Kingdom will be easier and quicker. This full and total victory is rising above in its complete form. It is only fully possible through the keys. Yes, you can “rise above” things to some extent without the keys of the Kingdom. If you are having battles or personal problems and you pray desperately, call out to Me, and determine to not let the struggle get you down or dissuade you from My service, you are “rising above” to some extent. There are various degrees to which you can do this, and many ways in which you can do this. You can “rise above” a problem without the keys and be an overcomer.
Yet if you want to make this “rising above” a permanent‚ complete, definite, entire solution, you need the power of the keys. That is what they are for. That is how they are meant to be used. They are meant to harness the spiritual forces of Heaven to fight with you and for you. They are given so that you might not only vaguely sense a form of victory, but so that you might know beyond a shadow of doubt that you are the possessor of victory.
The comparison to rising above with or without the keys can be thought of something like this: Rising above without the keys is like making a high jump over a hurdle. Rising above with the keys is like flying. Either way, you get over the obstacle, but one way takes a lot more effort than the other‚ and also doesn’t take you as high or as far. The other opens limitless possibilities, and happens with much greater ease. You can even get over several hurdles at once if you like!
Rising above is a matter of the spirit; it doesn’t mean self-effort and striving to overcome things in your own flesh. It means being fully yielded and surrendering yourself fully to the power of My Spirit. Only by doing this can you rise above. Yet even doing this much is so very difficult for so many. The yielding, the forsaking, the surrendering that I require for you to rise above, to truly gain victories, to overcome the impossible‚ takes many qualities that it is not in your human nature to possess–humility, yieldedness‚ faith, admitting you are nothing in yourself, believing that I am able. The power to rise above in itself is a miraculous thing‚ yet it is not at all “effortless.”

“Now is the time for the power of the keys. All that I have taught you and shown you in My Word over the years can be completely fulfilled through the power of the keys. Because you have this power‚ you have no excuses left for not believing, doing, or living any of what I have shown you.”
