Description: We are now entering the period when the gates of hell and the doors of heaven will be fully opened. It is imperative that we be able to recognize reach, and use the authority given to us to close the gates of hell while opening the doors of heaven.

"The historic church, called to carry the gospel of salvation to the world, has been responsible for some of the deepest wounds that mankind has suffered. Inevitably the roots of these tragic mistakes can be traced to the same mistake-well intentioned men trying to use the civil realm of authority to accomplish spiritual goals. Whenever men have tried to bring down spiritual strongholds with carnal weapons it has only resulted in a terrible defeat for the gospel. Such will always fall to using another spirit to accomplish the purposes of God, and the spiritual strongholds of the enemy are only made stronger, regardless of the political consequences.
