The Triumphant Church

The Triumphant Church

gospel of the kingdom SHALL BE PREACHED in all
the world for a witness unto ALL NATIONS; and then
shall the end come" (Matt. 24:14). This is the scriptural
way we render the devil's work inoperative upon the
earth.
When the gospel has been preached to all nations,
the Bible says the end shall come. The devil doesn't
want the end to come, because he knows when the end
comes, he's through! Therefore, Satan is going to try to
throw up every roadblock he can to prevent the gospel
from being preached in all the world (Mark 16:15). In
times of turmoil and war, it's more difficult to spread
the gospel. That's why the devil uses unbelievers, whose
minds he has blinded (2 Cor. 4:4), to stir up trouble.
Satan wants to try to stop the work of God from going
forth.
However, it's up to Christians whether or not the
devil succeeds in his individual strategies against them.
As we obey the Bible's instruction to pray for those in
authority and for the nations of the world, we can help
thwart Satan's plans and instead fulfill God's purposes
on the earth.
Christians have authority to pray in Jesus' Name
and change things in their country, no matter what
country they are living in. When we pray, we give God
permission to move and rule in the situation instead of
Satan, the god of this world, no matter what the
situation is. When Christians stand in their place of
delegated authority in prayer in Jesus' Name, God
brings many into His Kingdom. We don't fight the devil
to gain this authority. The authority has already been
given to us in the Name of Jesus (Matt. 28:18-20). When
we take our stand in prayer, we are simply exercising
the authority Jesus has obtained for us.
