A Mateu 16:18, Jesús va parlar de la seva Església i de les portes de l'infern. Jesus not only promised that He would build His Church upon the testimony of Peter, que va passar el dia de Pentecosta, però Jesús va prometre que les portes de l'infern no prevaldran contra la seva Església. What are the gates of hell and how shall the gates of hell not prevail against the Church of Jesus Christ according to the Bible?
What authority has Jesus Christ in heaven and on earth?
Jesus has the highest authority in heaven and earth. The Father gave His Son Jesus this position and the power after His sufferings, mort, resurrecció, and ascension.
Quan Jesús va morir a la creu i va prendre tots els pecats i iniquitats del món sobre ell, Jesus entered Hell (Hades). Tanmateix, la mort no va ser prou forta per mantenir-hi Jesús. Després 3 dies, Jesus rose from the dead and left by the power of God and left an empty tomb.
A través de la seva mort, Jesus overcame the devil that had the power of death (hebreus 2:14). Jesús va conquerir la mort i va recuperar legalment les claus de l'infern i la mort.
Jesus is seated in heaven on the right hand of the Father and has the highest authority in heaven and on earth.
Ell és el Testimoni fidel, el primer engendrat dels morts, i el príncep dels reis de la terra. (Revelació 1:5).
Jesús és el Head of His Church (the assembly of born-again believers that are His witnesses on earth).
As long as the Church is seated in Christ and stays in Him, His Church has the highest authority on earth. This means that the Church has power over hell and death, el regne del diable (foscor).
L'Església de Jesucrist és l'organització espiritual més poderosa de la terra. I les portes de l'infern no prevaldran contra el Cos de Jesucrist; l'Església.
Aquesta és la veritat, i així ha de ser.
Però com és que, that many times we don’t see this truth manifesting in the natural? How come that satanic powers have free rein in the church and prevail against local churches? Què han de fer els cristians per assegurar-se que les portes de l'infern no prevalguin contra l'Església segons la Bíblia??
The Church is an Embassy of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth
The Church must acknowledge that the Church is the embassy of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. She is the assembly of believers, qui són tornat a néixer in Christ by water and Spirit. The Church is the connection on earth between people and the Kingdom of Heaven.
The assembly of Jesus Christ represents God’s spiritual power and Kingdom on earth.
The Church is an Embassy of the Kingdom of Heaven that is appointed and founded on earth and acts on behalf of Jesus Christ in His authority and by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Jesús és el Cap de l'església. Ell (la Paraula) controls the Church through the Holy Spirit Who dwells in the born-again believers.
L'església sense fe
L'Església de Jesucrist és espiritual i guiada i controlada per la Paraula i l'Esperit Sant. Sense la Paraula i l'Esperit Sant, the church is nothing more than a (social) humanistic organization that is spiritually dead.
Sense la Paraula i l'Esperit Sant, the church is carnal and a worldly organization that is controlled and led by carnal knowledge, saviesa, and methods of this world (human wisdom, Filosofies, i estratègies) and uses natural means. The church will be controlled through the flesh by the darkness instead of through the Spirit by the Light.
L'església carnal camina darrere de la carn i és guiada pels seus sentits, emocions, sentiments, i intel·ligència. The people shall be the center of the church instead of Jesus. Per això, the church focuses on pleasing people instead of pleasing Jesus Christ and glorifying the Father.
L'església s'ocuparà de les coses d'aquest món i seguirà els esperits (tendències) D’aquest món. The carnal church shall tolerate sin and canviar les paraules de Déu a les luxúries, Desitjos, sentiments, la voluntat, i la vida de les persones.
The church shall resist and rebel against the Truth of God and defile the gospel of Jesus Christ with the world (foscor).
The church shall not be occupied with the things of the Kingdom of God and shall not instruct and correct Christians in the Bible, so that they get to know the will of God and adjust their lives to the Word and will of God, i créixer com a fills madurs de Déu (Això s'aplica tant a homes com a dones), que viuen una vida santa i justa. But the church shall be occupied with death works that are done by the flesh.
Una església sense fe és carnal i opera en l'àmbit físic
Una església carnal no és espiritual i funciona en el regne físic en lloc del regne espiritual. Tot i que l’església té molts coneixements i confia en el cap carnals en el seu intel·lectual, És espiritualment ignorant i morta espiritualment. Per això, the spirits of this world can easily enter the church through the lives of people and take their place without any resistance from the church leaders.
L’església intentarà prendre autoritat sobre els poders malvats de la foscor, però fallarà. That’s because the believers that are the church are dominated and controlled by the same powers of darkness, a qui pretenen dominar i prendre autoritat.
Una església carnal no és capaç de prendre la seva posició en el regne espiritual. It’s even dangerous when a carnal church tries to enter the spiritual realm, because the church will enter the spiritual realm out of the soul instead of the Spirit. Això vol dir, that they are not protected in Christ.
Sense la protecció de Jesucrist, the church shall be overwhelmed by the evil powers of darkness.
This becomes visible in the natural realm by the fruit that the church (els creients) bears, the teachings and decisions that are made in the church that oppose the will of God and His Word.
When shall the gates of hell prevail against the Church?
The gates of hell shall prevail against the Church when the church abandons the Word and becomes worldly and tolerates sin in the church. A través del pecat, the devil and hell take dominion over the church and control the church.
Les portes representen l’entrada, autoritat, força, domini, saviesa, i assessor. A l'Antic Testament, we read that the elders of a city were gathered in the gates to give counsel and to make important decisions. Quan l'església està desconnectada de la paraula, Després a través del pecat, Les portes de l’infern prevaldran contra l’església.
This means that the church shall be inspired by the kingdom of darkness and operate in the occult power of darkness. The church shall speak and do those things that contradict the Word of God and His will.
Què és una església fidel?
A faithful church is a church that is spiritual and stays faithful to Jesus Christ; La paraula viva i l’Esperit Sant. The faithful church walks according to the Law of Christ in His authority and has dominion over the host of darkness and brings the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
Prevaldran les portes de l'infern contra una església fidel??
No, les portes de l'infern no prevaldran contra l'església fidel, because the faithful church is spiritual and takes her position in Christ in this world and stands her ground. La vida regna en lloc de la mort.
The church takes authority and reigns spiritually over areas and claims territories and souls for the Kingdom of God. The church shall claim and save as many souls as possible from the hands of the devil, qui és el príncep d'aquest món.
I també et dic a tu, Que tu ets Pere, i sobre aquesta pedra edificaré la meva església; i les portes de l'infern no prevaldran contra ella (Mateu 16:18)
In churches where the Holy Spirit is present in the lives of Christians, the people who live in sin and are devoted to sin will be confronted with their sins. That’s because the Holy Spirit reproves the world of sin (a.o. John 16:8-11).
Quan l’Esperit Sant els retreu dels seus pecats i del seu estat caigut pecador, they have two options:
They can decide to penedir -se dels seus pecats, turn their lives to Jesus Christ to serve and follow Him, or to continue living in sin and stay obedient to the devil and serve him.
That’s why the church should take her place in Christ, en l'esperit, Als llocs celestials. The church must reign from that position and protect the church against all the evil forces of darkness.
The church should be guided by the Word and the Holy Spirit, so that the world will be reproved of sin.
The importance of knowing the Word
L’assemblea de Jesucrist ha de conèixer la paraula i la voluntat de Déu, so that the congregation will walk by faith and can pray according to the will of God and intercede not only for the believers, but also for the people who don’t know Jesus, i pels pobles, ciutats, i països i reclamar-los pel Regne de Déu.
Només quan l'església pren la seva posició en l'esperit i és guiada per la Paraula i l'Esperit Sant, shall the church know and recognize its enemy.
The works of the devil and hell shall become visible by the Word. The devil shall come and try to enter as an angel of light through the lives of Christians. Però si l'església discerneix els esperits, the church shall close the spiritual gates for the devil and his demons, perquè no puguin entrar a l'església.
Jesús té tota l'autoritat al cel ia la terra
Jesús té tota l'autoritat al cel i a la terra, i Ell ha donat tota autoritat a la seva església, El seu cos. Now it’s up to Christians what they do with this responsibility, autoritat, and power on this earth.
I ha posat totes les coses sota els seus peus, i el va donar com a cap de totes les coses a l'església, Que és el seu cos, la plenitud d'Aquell que ho omple tot en tot
Efesis 1:22-23
Què vol dir que les portes de l'infern no prevaldran contra l'església?
If we stay faithful to Jesus Christ and remain in Him, then the gates shall not prevail against the Church. We should build the church upon the Rock and not only be hearers of the Word, sinó que fan la Paraula. This means that we keep His words, dir les seves paraules, and be doers of His words, and represent Jesus Christ and do what He commanded us to do. (és a dir. Mateu 28:18-19, Marca 16:15-18, John 20:23).
Només quan ens quedem en la seva Paraula, les portes de l'infern que representen el regne del diable, no prevaldrà.
That’s the promise that Jesus gave to His Church (the assembly of born-again believers that walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh).
Jesus knew the devil and He knew what His work on the cross and His resurrection from the dead would cause.
Jesús sabia que el diable estaria furiós si Jesús prengués tota l'autoritat del diable.
Per això, Jesus knew that the devil would try anything to attack His body, His church, and destroy His body.
És per això que Jesús va donar a l'església la seva Paraula i la seva promesa, that as long as we stay in Him the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church.
L'atac del diable i l'infern a l'església
The devil knows how dangerous a living, victorious church is that is faithful to God and walks after the Spirit in the authority of Jesus Christ. A church that doesn’t focus on entertaining and pleasing people and their carnal enrichment and prosperity, focuses on Jesus Christ and the mission of the Kingdom of God.
El diable no vol que el seu regne sigui destruït. That’s why the devil has one mission, and that is to extinguish the Light.
He wants to spiritually eliminate every local church in every city. The devil succeeds in eliminating local churches by cutting them off from the power Source and connecting them to himself. Aquesta manera, the church has no authority and power and is seated in darkness, operating from the power of darkness.
How does the devil cut off the church from the power Source?
The devil cuts off the Church from the power Source by removing the words of God and the testimony of Jesus the Christ, El Fill del Déu viu, que és el foundation of the Church and replaces them with worldly knowledge and wisdom of man.
The devil wants to build the church upon human knowledge and powers. Because the devil knows that without Jesus; la Paraula, l'església no té cap poder. A més d'això, it will ensure that Christians shall depart from the Word and keep living in sin.
El pecat dóna accés i poder al diable i l'infern. Com més tolera i permet l'església el pecat, més poder es donarà al diable i al seu regne.
Mentre els cristians visquin en el pecat, El regne de la foscor; el diable i l'infern, have power and dominion over their lives. Per això, el diable té poder sobre l'església.
L'església ho farà viure a la foscor i ser controlat pels poders de la foscor i guiat per la saviesa i el coneixement d'aquest món i les falses revelacions. Aquesta saviesa i coneixement del món i aquestes falses revelacions es rebel·len contra la Paraula i la voluntat de Déu.
Què passa quan les portes de l’infern prevalen contra l’església?
Els consellers del regne de la foscor inspiraran els líders de les esglésies perquè siguin enganyats i es desviaran de la paraula i un estil de vida sagrat. The church thinks she is inspired by the Holy Spirit and that she lives in freedom. But the truth is that she is bound by hell.
The lifestyle of carnal Christians gives access to the devil and hell. They will be inspired by the evil spirits of darkness and follow up their counsel. Per això, Christians become lukewarm and tolerant.
The church shall no longer intercede for the people and guard the spiritual gates of the church, but shall leave the gates wide open for sin and death to enter.
They think that they are merciful and walk in love by being tolerant to people and by allowing pagan religions and philosophies and allowing sin. Tanmateix, the truth is that they are workers of iniquity and servants of the devil.
A causa d’aquest comportament humà, the Body of Christ is affected by sin and death. El pecat prolifera com el càncer al cos.
Everything that takes place in the spiritual world will eventually become visible in the church, in the lives of Christians.
Per això, if the gates of hell have prevailed against the church, this becomes visible in the lives of the members of the church and the fruit they bear.
A lukewarm church that walks in sin
They shall persevere in sin and live in rebellion against the Word and grieve the Holy Spirit. Seran tèbia i espiritualment atrevir -se. La seva llengua serà un instrument del diable i servirà per al seu regne.
Viuen com el món, queixar -se, i be unforgiving. Seran infeliços, deprimit, aclaparat per la por, auto-putitud, auto-rebuig, i suïcida (Pensaments). Es divorciaran, cometre adulteri i altres impureses i perversions sexuals, i es veuran afectats per la malaltia, que condueix a la mort.
Quan aquestes coses succeeixen en una església o congregació, no és de Déu ni de Jesús’ culpa. Però la culpa és de l'església, que no es va mantenir lleial i fidel a la Paraula i a l'Esperit Sant, but are led astray and entered self-chosen paths. L'església ha posat el consell del món per sobre del consell del Senyor. (Llegiu també: Deixeu de culpar Déu).
Per això, let the church of Jesus Christ repent and renounce sin, al costat de eliminant el pecat d'ella enmig. Això vol dir, que l'església no es permetrà ser dirigida pels seus sentits carnals, sentiments, emocions, opinió, i intel·lectual (carn). Però que l'Església estigui dirigida per la paraula i l'Esperit Sant.
La responsabilitat de l’Església de Jesucrist
If there are members in the church who don’t live according to the Word and do things that go against the will of God, then it’s the church’s responsibility and task to confront the person. De manera que la persona es pot penedir del pecat pel testimoni de la paraula.
Tanmateix, if the person is not willing to repent, then it’s the responsibility of the church to remove the person from the church and deliver the person to satan.
Això pot semblar dur, Però és necessari. Perquè a través del pecat de la persona, el dimoni i l'infern entraran a l'església i afectaran la vida dels altres creients. Per això és tan important eliminar el pecat del Cos de Crist.
Conclusió
Que l'església torni a la Paraula, elimina els pecats i les iniquitats del seu mig, i prendre la seva posició en Jesucrist. So that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church. Però que l'església esdevingui una església viva, militant i victoriosa, que està assegut en Jesucrist.
