I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.

 His Church cannot be overpowered:

 

Matthew 16:18

18 “I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.

 

            How many times has the Church acted like the gates of Hades could not overpower it … not very often; at least in our lifetime? Perhaps in the very beginning she did. We’re so fragmented that it’s a wonder we survived. That’s not the way we’re supposed to be. We’re supposed to be exhibiting His power. That power created the universe. Nothing can overpower it. We, the Church, should be making much more of an impact in this world.

 

If you could hear God speak, I believe this is what He would say:

            "You are strong in Me, My children. You are a rock upon which I will build My house. You cannot be shaken when you work together for My Kingdom. When you work for your ideals and goals, My Kingdom suffers. When you work together, you cannot be defeated and the enemy will fall before you. You are My rock and strength. The enemy does not know how to destroy you or stop you when you work together for the good of My Kingdom. He only knows how to stop and destroy you when you fight with each other and try to drag down each other. Work together for the good of My Kingdom and you will have good success.”

 

            79. I am a part of His Church which is built on the rock of revelation that is so solid that the enemy cannot overpower it, hence, cannot overpower me.
