“And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18, ESV).
In my new sermon "The Gates of Hell Will Not Prevail," I aim to redefine the Church's role and authority in spiritual warfare. I emphasize that the Church is not merely a religious gathering, but a divine assembly [the Ekklesia] - a governing body commissioned by Heaven to advance God's Kingdom on earth.
I explore how believers are entrusted with the "keys of the kingdom," empowering us to bind, loose, forbid, and permit according to God's will. This authority calls us to take an offensive stance, actively confronting and reclaiming ground from the enemy rather than just defending passively.
Jesus' declaration that the gates of hell cannot prevail against His Church underscores our invincibility when we operate in divine revelation. Just as Peter received revelation of Christ's identity, I believe today's Church is called to a deep, transformative knowledge of Jesus.
This intimate knowledge of Christ empowers us to establish God's purposes, witness miracles, and bring godly transformation to all areas of society. Despite enemy assaults, God's Kingdom continues to progress, with apparent setbacks serving as opportunities for the Church to arise and take authority.
I'm convinced that the Holy Spirit is preparing and refining the Church to be an unstoppable force in advancing God's reign on earth. This message is a call to embrace our true identity and authority as the Ecclesia of God.

Welcome to the Power of Five podcast! In this episode, Glenn Bleakney and Dr. Michael Gretchko dive into the book of Ephesians, specifically chapter four. They explore the concept of the fivefold ministry and its significance in fulfilling God's purpose for the church. Ephesians 4 provides insight into the importance of unity, walking worthy of our calling, and utilizing the gifts that Christ has given us.
Understanding the Overall Theme of Ephesians 4
To fully grasp the message of Ephesians 4, it is essential to understand the context of the entire book. Paul wrote the letter to the believers in Ephesus, emphasizing both theology and practical instructions for the church. The first three chapters lay the foundation of theology, highlighting God's purpose for His church. The following three chapters focus on the practical application of the church's purpose in the world.
## Walking Worthy of our Calling
In Ephesians 4:1-17, Paul exhorts the church to walk in a manner worthy of their calling. This passage emphasizes the unity of the Spirit and the importance of maintaining peace and humility within the body of Christ. Paul encourages believers to bear with one another, being eager to maintain unity. The church is called to walk in a way that reflects its identity in Christ, demonstrating love, gentleness, and patience.
## The Role of the Fivefold Ministry
In verses 7-16, Paul explains the purpose of the fivefold ministry: apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers. These gifts were given by Christ to equip the saints for the work of ministry, building up the body of Christ. The fivefold ministry exists to serve the church and help individuals walk worthy of their calling. They provide coaching and equipping, guiding believers in utilizing their spiritual gifts to serve others effectively.
## The Importance of Utilizing Spiritual Gifts
Each believer has been given spiritual gifts according to the measure of Christ's gift. These gifts are manifestations of the Holy Spirit's work within us. Every gift is essential for the growth and edification of the body of Christ. Just as a sports team functions best when every member understands their position and contributes to the team's objective, the church thrives when every believer understands and utilizes their spiritual gifts.
## Connecting the Body of Christ
The body of Christ is a metaphor used throughout the New Testament to illustrate the interconnectedness and interdependence of believers. Just as a body cannot function properly if each part is not working together, the church cannot fulfill its purpose if believers are disconnected. Each member has a unique role to play, and when all members are actively serving, the body grows and becomes healthy. The church needs every individual to fully operate in unity and oneness.
## Shifting from Individualism to Community
In Western societies, there is often a heavy emphasis on individualism. However, the biblical perspective emphasizes the importance of community and the interconnectedness of believers within the body of Christ. While personal gifts and callings are significant, they find their fullest expression within the context of community and in serving others. The church must move away from an individualistic mindset and embrace the idea of functioning as a unified body.
## Cultivating a Kingdom Culture
As believers understand their gifts, calling, and role within the body of Christ, they become catalysts for sustaining revival and bringing about transformation. This requires a shift in the default settings of our culture, embracing a kingdom culture that prioritizes unity, diversity, and the equipping of the saints. By cultivating a kingdom culture in the church, we create an environment where each member can grow and contribute to the collective growth of the body of Christ.
## The Importance of Collaboration and...

Glenn Bleakney shares on the theme of reformation.
But what is it that God is re-forming?
The Church is first and foremost a body - the Body of Christ called to stand before the nations of the world to re-present Jesus Himself, not religion.

In this week's episode of The Power of Five podcast, Glenn Bleakney teaches on 7 Essential Apostolic Shifts. The New Testament church was foundationally apostolic in that they embraced an apostolic mandate to advance the Kingdom of God to every city and nation in the power of the Spirit and to make disciples of the nations. Today, we are called to build on the foundation of the apostolic (See Eph. 2:20, 4:11; 1 Cor. 12:28). There are at least 7 Essential Shifts we must enact to truly become and apostolic church in the 21st Century.

Glenn Bleakney sits down with Rick Dubose, the Assistant General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God to discuss his book, "In Jesus' Name: 5 Altars of Prayer That Move Heaven and Earth."
Watch the video interview on https://KingdomCommunity.tv
While many books have been written on prayer, Assemblies of God leader Rick DuBose’s new book draws from not only the witness of Scripture, but also a profound personal encounter Pastor Rick had in the throne room of God.
Rick opens In Jesus’ Name: 5 Altars of Prayer That Move Heaven and Earth, with the words, “If we really understood the effect that prayer has on the world and our lives, the Church would become a place of continuous prayer.”
Pastor Rick examines five postures, or altars, of prayer that will unlock your spiritual authority and turn the tide in the Church’s battle against the enemy. Each of the prayer altars addresses a different facet of sacred space where we connect with God for spiritual transformation.
