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. Matthew 16.18

If the Church of the Lord Jesus does not understand what has been done in its favor, it will never occupy a position of supremacy over the powers of darkness. Thus, it will start behaving like any other human gathering. The Messiah had the purpose to redeem for Himself a people, from all the nations of the Earth, which would be composed of those who give credit to the preaching of the Word.

The Church’s Head is the Redeemer Himself, and it does not have a specific denomination; it is made of people from various evangelical denominations, who have been regenerated by the blood of Jesus and have become brothers and sisters. Its mission is to save the lost, and therefore, it should not bow down its head or accept the impossibility of its expansion nowadays in several countries.

The Son of God began building the Church, leading to Heaven those who had served the Most High before His death – the first ones who invoked Him and those who died soon before His resurrection –, and that believed in God and expected to be taken to His Kingdom. When Jesus returns, whoever is alive will rise with Him and will be reunited with those who already enjoy His incomparable presence.

The Savior confirmed His Church with righteousness – the price that He paid for our redemption. Therefore, we have access to the power that He had on Earth in His days. There is no power from hell that can stop what God is accomplishing, for the Church is His agent in the world. This also concerns us, since we are part of the Church, and our role is very important!

We should not fear what is to come or live as abandoned and oppressed people, because the devil cannot touch us. After all, we have been placed in a high place, far away from the capacity of the enemy to strike us. There is nothing further to be done by the Lord. However, as we discover what belongs to us and what we should do, we should order that things should be fulfilled according to our orders. 

If a member of the Body of Christ is fearful of the future, he does not understand salvation yet. Those who are saved should fear nothing. The Lord is with us and therefore, we do not need to fear, for He is our God who helps and sustains us with His righteous hand. The Bride of Jesus received much, so it must do everything that it is ordered so that it may never be found lacking.

There is no reason to be frightened of the devil, who is a great deceiver. Whatever he says he will do to you, he cannot reach you because you are in Christ. Get your hands to work every day, independently of how the situation is. When you obey the divine calling, you prove that you love God, and therefore, you are also loved by Him.

In Christ, with love,
