The Gates of Hell Did Not Prevail

Earlier today I posted about the demonic Rockford abortion mill permanantly closing. A little while ago a friend of mine put a video up on my Facebook page. It was from 2011 & showed a large number of the prayer warriors who put in countless hours at the place doing spiritual battle through their prayers.

1 of the nicknames for the NIWC was "the gates of Hell". & 1 of the promises of Jesus that I refered to in some of my posts was that the gates of Hell shall not prevail against His Church. (Remember - Jesus Promised the "Gates of Hell" Shall NOT Prevail,  The Latest From the "Gates of Hell"  re: Matthew 16:18) 

That promise has too often been taken to only mean that we would be protected when Hell came against us. But it is much more than that. It is a promise that when God's Church go on the offensive against evil, it is evil that will lose in the end. In the time of Jesus the gates were closed to protect the city from being conquered. If they fell, then those attack could storm the city & destroy it. It took time & effort by the warriors to knock down those gates.

I thought of that as I watched the video that I posted below.  I saw a huge number of prayer warriors storming the 'gates of Hell" in Rockford. Like for Israel of old, God heard their prayers & gave them the victory. They stormed the gates & the gates fell.

As I said, this should serve us as a reminder that we will win the victory over abortion & the demonic "culture of death" if we remain faithful in prayer. Our other actions are important, but unless they begin, end & are undergirded by prayer they will not suceed. We must continue in prayer to repent for the sins of our nation against life, esp abortion, & plead with God to give us the victory. It won't be acording to out timetable, it will be in His timing. But it will be.
