Why You’ll Always Win

There’s a reason the Church is the most persecuted of all demographics in the world: Satan is afraid of what’s coming, and he’s making so much effort to cause fear in the hearts of many. But he’s a failure! Mighty things are happening in the Church of Jesus Christ, and the devil can’t contain it. What’s happening with us is bigger than what’s happening in Technology, Science, or Politics.

In Matthew 16:18 MSG, Jesus talked about His Church and called it “…a church so expansive with energy that not even the gates of hell will be able to keep it out….” The word, “gates” is symbolic in prophetic language for “power and dominion.” So, the powers and dominion of hell shall not prevail against the Church. The Church, right from inception, has survived and endured many terrible persecutions, and will always outlive her detractors.

It’s because the Word of God is clear: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us” (Romans 8:35-37 NIV). We’re forever victorious. We crush every opposition and conquer every adversity. That’s the blessing upon the Church. The Holy Spirit is the Boss of the Church, and He’s God. He’s working in, with, and through us.

It’s impossible for us to fail. We won before we started; we’re just acting out the script that’s already been written. Hallelujah! The Amplified version of our opening verse says, “But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumph [as trophies of Christ’s victory….” That’s what’s happening. We’re in a Holy Ghost victory parade. What you need is to stay focused on the work of the Lord, serving Him with joy.
