We are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is
Matthew 5:13
thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot of men.
One of the great Messianic promises to Abraham and to his seed was this, you’ll find it repeated in
Derek Prince
the book of Genesis, “Thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies.” We are the seed of Abraham
through faith in Jesus Christ. We have a legal, scriptural right to storm the gates of hell, to take them and
possess them in the name of Jesus. And do you know what? There’s nothing that the devil is more scared
of than that the saints of God should find out this fact and start to do it. There’s nothing that he wants to
keep from you and me more than this truth, that it’s up to us and in our power to administer the defeat
which Christ has already inflicted. And I believe both heaven and hell are waiting for us to do it. What
about you? Do you intend to do something about it?
