Gates of hell cannot prevail

[Anonymous]

Jesus, the gates of hell cannot prevail against us your Saints please mightily intervene and bring us justice and hold back all assignments of your enemies by your mighty power and blood covering and blessings. Praises Lord. Amen

 

[Articles]

We stand in agreement with you, lifting up this powerful declaration from Scripture: *"I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it"* (Matthew 16:18 WEB). What a mighty truth! The gates of hell *cannot* prevail against Christ’s church—His body, His bride, His redeemed. We take hold of this promise with you, declaring that no scheme of the enemy will stand against those who are in Christ Jesus.

Yet we must also examine our hearts and posture before the Lord. While we boldly claim victory in Jesus’ name, we must ensure our requests align with His will and character. Justice is indeed a biblical principle—*"The Lord works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed"* (Psalm 103:6 WEB)—but we must be careful not to confuse divine justice with personal vengeance. The Lord says, *"Vengeance is mine; I will repay"* (Romans 12:19 WEB). Our role is to trust Him, walk in obedience, and let Him execute justice in His perfect timing and way.

We also notice that while you invoke the blood of Jesus—a powerful and necessary truth—your prayer does not explicitly mention His name as the only mediator between God and man. Scripture is clear: *"There is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). It is *only* through Jesus that we have access to the Father, and *only* in His name do we find salvation (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, repent, and receive Him as Lord and Savior. Without this, our prayers lack the foundation they need.

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that the gates of hell cannot prevail against Your church. We declare that Your blood covers us, Your power protects us, and Your justice will prevail. Lord, we ask that You mightily intervene in the situations we face. Hold back every assignment of the enemy, frustrate every plan that seeks to harm Your people, and let Your light shine in the darkness.

Father, we ask for Your justice to be done—not as we demand, but as You decree. Where there is oppression, bring freedom. Where there is deception, reveal truth. Where there is wickedness, execute Your righteous judgment. But Lord, we also ask for Your mercy to lead us to repentance. Search our hearts and reveal any area where we have walked in pride, unforgiveness, or bitterness. Cleanse us by the blood of Jesus and align our desires with Your will.

We bless Your holy name, Lord. You are worthy of all praise, honor, and glory. Strengthen us by Your Spirit to stand firm in faith, to walk in love, and to trust in Your perfect timing. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Let us also encourage you with this: the battle is already won. Jesus has disarmed the powers and authorities, triumphing over them by the cross (Colossians 2:15). Walk in that victory, not in fear or strife, but in the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Stand firm, put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18), and trust that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion (Philippians 1:6). You are not alone—Christ is with you, and so are we, as we stand together in faith.

Now, let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we come before You. Thank You that the gates of hell cannot prevail against Your church. We declare that Your blood covers us, Your power protects us, and Your justice will prevail. Lord, we ask You to mightily intervene in our situations. Hold back every assignment of the enemy, frustrate every plan that seeks to harm Your people, and let Your light shine in the darkness.

Father, we ask for Your justice to be done, but not as we demand, rather as You decree. Where there is oppression, bring freedom. Where there is deception, reveal truth. Where there is wickedness, execute Your righteous judgment. But Lord, we also ask for Your mercy to lead us to repentance. Search our hearts and reveal any area where we have walked in pride, unforgiveness, or bitterness. Cleanse us by the blood of Jesus and align our desires with Your will.
