“And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18, ESV).

In my new sermon "The Gates of Hell Will Not Prevail," I aim to redefine the Church's role and authority in spiritual warfare. I emphasize that the Church is not merely a religious gathering, but a divine assembly [the Ekklesia] - a governing body commissioned by Heaven to advance God's Kingdom on earth.

I explore how believers are entrusted with the "keys of the kingdom," empowering us to bind, loose, forbid, and permit according to God's will. This authority calls us to take an offensive stance, actively confronting and reclaiming ground from the enemy rather than just defending passively.

Jesus' declaration that the gates of hell cannot prevail against His Church underscores our invincibility when we operate in divine revelation. Just as Peter received revelation of Christ's identity, I believe today's Church is called to a deep, transformative knowledge of Jesus.

This intimate knowledge of Christ empowers us to establish God's purposes, witness miracles, and bring godly transformation to all areas of society. Despite enemy assaults, God's Kingdom continues to progress, with apparent setbacks serving as opportunities for the Church to arise and take authority.

I'm convinced that the Holy Spirit is preparing and refining the Church to be an unstoppable force in advancing God's reign on earth. This message is a call to embrace our true identity and authority as the Ecclesia of God.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Kingdom Encounter with Glenn Bleakney is a variety show consisting of teaching, discourses, and interviews on all things Kingdom. This is a season of reformation and revival. The Church must build on the foundations of the apostles and prophets preaching and teaching the Gospel of the Kingdom in the demonstration of the Spirit's power to all nations.
