Hear the words of Jesus when He said..."I will build My Church; and the 'gates of hell' shall not prevail against it." Jesus is saying, should "the gates of hell" come against My Church, it will not prevail! Prevail means "more powerful than opposing forces - victorious! The enemy may buffet us, and seek to harass us with the "cares of life,' but we are triumphant in the redemption of our Savior! 2 Cor. 2:14 "Thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ!"
