Introduction :
Introduction :
A gate is a point of an access …
Your daily expression in life is a relection of what is going on in the spirit world .
You have Gates ..
7. Gate of death/ Hell.
18 Their soul abhorred all manner of food, And they drew near to the gates of death.
18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
GATE OF HELL .. Shall not Previl
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus.
25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things of the Lord, though he knew only the baptism of John.
26 So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
27 And when he desired to cross to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him; and when he arrived, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;
Be careful what u call what you know .. God is progressive knolwgde and encounter .
9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;
All wisdom of the dimension of the spirit .
The Primary assignment of the gods of this world and the devil .. The fight the church is against . to make sure our spiritual understanding is darken . To reduce the spiritual impact of the church .. but the scriputal say we are a city set on the hil ..
14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart;
19 who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
In the absent of light the domion of the devil trivel . it could be over a city , church or individual .
God need to increase our understand spiritually so we could stand against the GATE of Hell.
The strength of the evil is streghth in Darkness .
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe.
You primary assignement is to be bear the light of the God . The presence of insufficent light is also play Ground for the enimies to work.
Encounter with light and spiritual understanding
32 Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.
33 And those of the people who understand shall instruct many; yet for many days they shall fall by sword and flame, by captivity and plundering.
You must know .. YOUR GOD .
Knoweldge // Light

We change, as we behold . Becoming .
3. Do - Action . Exploit
A model to a spiritual reality of God. Men can follow u and still have the same expriences.
SONG .. I choose the way of Lord , for the way of the lord is way of wisdom.
JESUS THE WAY .. THE METHODLOGY OF THE KINGDOM .. I AM THE WAY .. to LIGHT
I will build my church and the GATE of Hell will not previl.
10 to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places,
11 according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,
Story of the ministry of Jesus...
13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
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.
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
The church — Eccilsia ..
Just because you are close to the word does not meant you know what u are doing . HIS .
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Rev 19.. The rider on the horse .. THE WORD of GOD , the thought of the father .
The rock of REVELATION … The platform in which the kingdom is built . the strategies of winning the Gate of Hell.
If the gate of hell previl against the church some is tappering with the building .
I will build my church .. Church was Jesus IDEAL
A spiritual entities that become a repriensentation of his power, possiblitues , his body , his esense on earth , that withtout the church we cannot have the full manifestation of God head .
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power
20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,
21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church,
23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
Jesus is the builder of the church ...
Something is wrong with the template we are seening now . and that si why the darkeness is previling over the church effortless
God and check the construction of the church, any time the church lose check the building .
We need to address the structure so we can stop the hand of the gate of hell.
How come we have so much immartul christian.
We come to the fullness of the status of Christ , only that time we can stop and defect the gate of hell.
Song .. more lord
The gate of hell does not seems treaten by the presnece of the church. sth went wrong .
I will build my church .. and the GATE of hell
3 main things we need to address about the building of the church . what weakning the hand of the church
Prevelent of Error .. that comes as a result of apostalses , division of divne parthen
1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,
2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron,
3 forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
Using your desire to bath you. need and desporation around ur need to bath u
No weapon formed … study against u
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, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.
Satan and Jesus .. Needs
God is a good of parthens . Offering of Cain and Abel .. Explained .
Serve God acceptable. you don’t invent your method and ways … God has a parthen
16 Thus says the Lord: “Stand in the ways and see, And ask for the old paths, where the good way is, And walk in it; Then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
17 Also, I set watchmen over you, saying, ‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’ But they said, ‘We will not listen.’
Dimension - Complete not intreatsed in the things of God … Doctrine of Demon ..
13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.
14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
2. Error of indifferent . I dont care attitute , extension of self and selfiness
Esther mistake .. Amar want to remove the jew .. modica warning
12 So they told Mordecai Esther’s words.
13 And Mordecai told them to answer Esther: “Do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king’s palace any more than all the other Jews.
14 For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”
15 Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai:
Once i have my little alter .. I don’t care
The burden of the body . Hide your individalism and come to coo
3. Error of Incomplete truth , inbalance messge , over extragiration of truth . their is no crime if you don’t know . just seek knowdgle .
Inbalance is extragitating truth beyond boundires of it relevant.
Error of Indifferent and selfiness ..
The source of this 3 are .. Absent of term that JESUS use . Discipleship is the cause for this 3 pillars that devil is using to distract .the church. personlize truth.. Doctinre the body of truth that is designed to mature the body of christ .
Doctrine - Pillar - foundational doctrine of our faith
1 Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,
2 of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
3 And this we will do if God permits.
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,
5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,
Men are build by accurate teaching of Doctrine of christ.
Doctrines must not be build on the exprerince , personalize dealing are not doctrines, Doctrine are build on the word of God .
The course content that mature believer is Doctrine a body of truth and they are found in scriputures .
1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.
Your reference is nothing but JESUS. not men .
The Church is not build on men , but on the revelation of the person of christ.
The Kingdom the focal point of the church is nothing but Christ .
Jesus is the Author and the finisher of our faith.
You only follow men whne u have verifiy they are following christ.
My condition for followership is that you are revence that lead to christ.
LACK of proper mentoship and discipleship is the principal reason why the church is not equiped to fight the kingdom and GATE of hell.
The reference is designed to produce a predicatable result .. DOCTRINE ..
To the degress your master the doctrine .. SAME Reference .
15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
Christian — Point of reference ..
Foundational Doctrine are not opnion .
Growth is more than mentosrship .. what is the standard and reference .
Doctrine--- Bring stabillity to your faith.
The hosue can be build on two kind of Structure. Sand and Rock .
God exalt his word above his name , the higher reference is the WORD
Scriputre is our reference and the block we built on . the more you are ground the more your are equiped and powerful enough to fight the gate of heal over your family …
Encounter christ but not been transform.
Their must be an emphasis on DOCTIRINE AND DISCIPLESHIP .
The weapon against the GATES OF HELL IS NOT shouting , is the bulding of the church by JESUS .
Prayer
Worship
Given
Must be thought Discipleship .
School of Son’s of Prophet in the School of the Spirit ..
Topical expression of the scriputres… Their must be an intentional teaching and training of men to understand and equiped and build.
Knowledge and Empowerment .
The Act ..
Sufficent spiritual illumination.
Doctrine, Balance and soundness of scripture.
28 Him we preach and proclaim, warning and admonishing everyone and instructing everyone in all wisdom (comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God), that we may present every person mature (full-grown, fully initiated, complete, and perfect) in Christ (the Anointed One).
29 For this I labor [unto weariness], striving with all the superhuman energy which He so mightily enkindles and works within me.
Mature in Christ …Present a church that is mature to fight and understand the wise of the enemies .
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Things that show u are mature and show u have stauts and balance.
He build his church using the instreumentality of MEN and women of God
10 He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)
11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,
12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,
13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,
