And I say also unto you, That you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Mat 16:18 The rock is `the testimony of Jesus Christ`.     It is what saves us and enables us to overcome.     Rev 12:11 The church is the body of all believers in Christ Jesus.     The body is made up of people with `the testimony of Jesus Christ`.      The Gates Of Hell will not withstand the church when the church wields its testimony.

The Church with the Testimony of Christ Jesus is to attack the Gates Of Hell and release those who are bound there.   

We do this through the Preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom and by wielding the Sword of the Spirit to cast down the gatekeepers.   

We know that the gates of Heaven are made of pearl - or at least something that looks like pearl Rev 21:21 .   

But what are the Gates Of Hell made of?   
   ➛ Lies
   ➛ Deception
   ➛ Delusion
   ➛ Bondage

Who built the Gates Of Hell?   Satan and his children Joh 8:44 .   

Who maintains the Gates Of Hell?   Satan and his children Eph 2:2 .   

So to come against the Gates Of Hell we must come against every form of lie that we see or hear.   
When we do this we will be royal 'party-poopers'.   

People have become so accustomed to being lied to that that really don't respond normally to it.   

What is the normal response to a lie?   Contradiction Joh 8:44 .   

But to be contradictory is offensive and it makes one uncomfortable Mat 24:2 Luk 8:17 .   

When a surgeon must perform surgery they go into attack mode.   The cut the skin; they cut blood vessels; they kill tissue; they may even saw through bone.   A surgeon is very offensive but we do not see him as such because we believe that he does what he does for our sake.   

For a believer to be contradictory they must do it in love 1Ti 1:5 so that the person being contradicted understands that it is not a personal attack, but an attempt to help them in the same way a surgeon does Gal 4:16 .   

Be a surgeon and not a mortician.   

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 2Ti 4:2 This is the order of the day to all believers.     We are to:    ➛ publicly proclaim the Gospel.         ➛ be ready to share the Truth    ➛ reprimand and censure those who sin    ➛ express strong disapproval of evil    ➛ strongly encourage people to receive Christ    ➛ stay within the authority of the scriptures with these actions    ➛ not harangue individuals with the Gospel    ➛ make sure everyone we know hears it from us.
