Read D&C 27:12
Think of the keys that your mom and dad use to start your car..
These keys start up the engine.. think of the prophet as the engine of your car (he needs keys to keep the church running.... these keys are from Heavenly Father. They help give directions to his church on this earth).. The prophet uses these keys to power our vehicle (and our family) to our destination which is the kingdom of God.
Optional craft: make paper keys. See pattern below. Tie together with yarn.
Read also D&C 65:1-2
The prophet also holds the keys of the kingdom, that is the governing power and authority to administer in all spiritual and temporal affairs of the church. By delegation, General Authorities, temple presidents, mission presidents, stake presidents, bishops, and others receive keys pertaining to specific offices in their own areas. Thus through the Presidents authority, salvation becomes available to all people.
He holds all the keys to the sealing ordinances of the temple, Only the prophet can grant a cancellation of a sealing. All temples are under his direct supervision..
