If the keys are all-powerful, why do we need spirit helpers?

(Question:) What is the relation between the keys and our spirit helpers? There has been a lot in the Letters over the past years about both, and it's gotten to the point where there's a lot to remember and to think about. It gets pretty confusing sometimes remembering what's what and who's who, having all these specific keys plus specific spirit helpers.

If the keys are totally, awesomely all-powerful, and can do everything and anything and contain all the power of Heaven and Earth, then why do we need spirit helpers? If we can just call on the keys for whatever we need, what's the purpose of having all these angels, spirits, departed saints, etc., working for us as well? Similarly, why do we need the key craft if the keys in themselves have all the power of God and of all the universe?

Are the keys indeed all-powerful? Or is there some "chemical reaction"—for lack of a better word—that requires us to have to use the keys as well as call on spirit helpers? What is the correlation between the two and how do they work together?

(Jesus:) The keys of the Kingdom are indeed all-powerful—there is no greater force in the universe! All power in Heaven and Hell is given to the keys of the Kingdom. This power is sufficient in itself, but I have set up the dynamics of the spirit so that even within the spiritual realm I work through others—legions of angels and spiritual beings and entities. Why do I do this, when I obviously and undeniably have sufficient power in Myself?

Well, just as life on Earth is a process of learning and growth, so is the spiritual realm.Even the angels and spiritual beings and helpers I have given you are not only at your command, but they too are learning and growing in their areas of responsibility and power. That's what life is all about—life on Earth and life here within the spiritual realm.

This is one of the fundamental reasons why I have given you helpers to aid you in the spiritual warfare and to work alongside you in using key power and availing yourself of My spiritual weaponry for the warfare at hand and ahead. I've given you insight on your helpers, as well as encouraged you to call on their help, so that you can not only draw from their particular reservoir of power and expertise, but also to help you connect more personally to the spiritual realm, help you use the keys and your spiritual weapons better, help you be wiser and better connected to the spiritual in every way. What better way to do this than through getting to know your fellow workers and departed saints of the spiritual realm?

For instance, I could have just set things up with My Father so that We alone sat on the throne of Heaven and ran the universe ourselves, without the aid or help of angels, archangels, and other spiritual entities. We could have more or less had the monopoly on power. We certainly didn't need to have the help of others. We embody all power—the greatest power in existence. But still‚ even within the spiritual realm, My Father and I don't run a dictatorship. We counsel and reason together with others within our realm, We teamwork‚ so that Our perfect purpose is established.

This is generally how our power is manifested and deployed—through a specific chain of command within the spiritual realm, as your Father David taught you. This way the angels and spiritual beings learn and grow in the area of channeling and deploying their power through you on Earth. Earth is but the first learning and testing ground, but slowly and surely I want that line between the two realms to fade, as you become more one with the other side and your helpers.

So while, yes, the keys of the Kingdom—that three-in-one power—is definitely powerful enough to stand on its own, I still emphasize and continue to encourage you to avail yourselves of your helpers from the spiritual realm. You need them and they need you. By working toward knowing and forming a personal relationship with your helpers, you are slowly crossing over that line between the two worlds, and when you step over into this next world, you will be leaps and bounds ahead of others who have not formed that working and personal relationship with those of the spiritual realm. It's all part of your training as My elite. (End of message.)

Set aside anything that stirs doubt in your heart or mind concerning them, for only by faith will the full truth of the keys be validated.
