Matthew 16:18, "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
What God builds cannot be destroyed by the devil. The gates of hell shall not prevail against the church. There are times when the church looks beaten down, persecuted, cast out, or killed. But in the end the church will be raised up and given the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Lord has given us authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of darkness. Luke 10:19. We have overcome the devil by the blood of the Lamb. Revelation 12:11.
Father God, I thank you that the victory has been won. The devil has been defeated. Grant us grace to abide in the victory that Jesus has won. Amen.
