Minister’s Corner: The church is invincible

God has always had people. He will always have people. From the beginning, His kingdom has advanced in spite of adversity, and from the beginning, the devil has worked to deceive and destroy. Through all manner of evil, Satan has attempted to destroy God’s people. He has concentrated his temptation until the nations of the world are swimming in a cesspool of filth. He has employed tyrants and whatever it takes to wipe the church off the map. But the church has proven to be particularly stubborn. God has put within us a divine, holy stubborn streak that causes us to rise up and say: “You can’t have the church. You are not going to steal what has been done. We are raising up people who believe there is power available in the name of Jesus to build a church victorious and not listen to the lies of the adversary.”
The church has always grown during periods of adversity. The more the pressure is applied, the more God’s people respond through faith. The fact of the matter is, the church is invincible.
