| DAY 3 |
| Read: |
Matthew 16:18: |
| |
…I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (KJV) |
| Speak: |
Jesus is building His Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it! |
| Think: |
If Jesus is building His Church, and we are part of the Church He is building, we have nothing to fear concerning God’s provision for our life. God has already given us everything that pertains to life and godliness and we can trust God’s Word over every lie of Satan that would cause us to doubt God’s promises! |
| Pray: |
Lord, I trust you and cast down every fear that tries to rear its head in opposition to my desire to give into Your kingdom. Thank you that You help me to hear clearly what You would have me to give. I know You are building Your Church and the gates of hell cannot prevail against me! |
| Grow: |
The fall of Jericho reveals a secret of the kingdom of God that Satan doesn’t want us to know. |
| |
|
| When we take the offensive against our fears by trusting in and obeying God’s Word, our fears become afraid, our doubts begin to doubt themselves, and the knees of our excuses start to shake! Just as the Canaanites knew God was with Israel, every adversary and hindrance in our life knows prosperity belongs to us. They know the power of God is greater than they are, and their hold on us is only as strong as our fears and excuses to not trust and obey God’s Word. God has given us the city! Although we may not know what will happen tomorrow, we know tomorrow is already ours. Whatever comes against us, whatever great fortress we face, God has already given it to us. Who cares if Satan rears his ugly head and all hell comes against us! Jesus has already promised the gates of hell would not prevail against the Church—and that means us! |
