Are the Gates Prevailing? Jesus told His disciples many years ago, “I will build My Church, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it.”
As the years have gone by, I’ve noticed a growing angst among believers. And the truth is I can easily be one of the them. I so quickly forget just how in control God really is. I often try to take things into my own hands, which is really just another way of saying, “I’m gonna make this happen.” Maybe you’ve struggled at times with the same thoughts I’ve had:
“Are things going to get better in this world?”
“Is the Church being lazy on evangelism?”
“Am I not doing enough?”
“Are my prayers even working?”
“Am I wasting my time?”
“Have I pursued righteousness for nothing?”
“Is Christianity going to be snuffed out?”
“Will my nation ever have a revival?”
“Why won’t people do anything?”
“Why won’t [this person] turn to Christ?”
“Why won’t these mountains move?”
“Have I been faithful for nothing?”
“Where is the reward?”
“Where is the fruit?”
“Why do things not change?”
