Pastor Joshua preaches a powerful word about the victory spoken over the church and the protection that is offered to those who are united in the body.
Matthew 16:13-18 New Living Translation
13…“Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 “Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.” 15 Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” 17 Jesus replied, “You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being. 18 Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.
Principle: No matter what the devil throws at the people of God, he will not be able to overcome them.
Principle: The devil wants to disconnect us. God wants to connect us.
1 Peter 5:8 New Living Translation
8 Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
Principle: God’s Promises to The Church belong to The Church.
Matthew 16:18 New Living Translation
18 …upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.
Principle: If you are not conquered, then you are undefeated.
Isaiah 54:17 New King James Version
17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord…
Psalm 23:5 New King James Version
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
Romans 8:37 New International Version
37 …in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
Principle: The victory necessitates unity.
Matthew 18:20 New International Version
20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
Ecclesiastes 4:12 New Living Translation
12 A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.
Principle: God wants unity. The devil wants disunity. God wants community. The devil wants individuality
Psalm 133 New International Version
1 How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! 2 It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe. 3 It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.
