Gates

  • Gates are legal systems
  • Attached to every gate you will find what Is called a ‘legislation system.’

There are three arms that rule government.

  • i) Executive

  • ii) Judiciary

  • iii) Legislature (Ministry of Gates)

  • Gates govern nations, they govern cities, they govern wealth, they govern territories etc (Acts 12:10)

  • There is a gate that leads to every city and as a believer you need to understand this because you may be in Bulawayo for example and not partake of what the City has

  • Many believers are in a city or country yet they are not eating what’s in the nation because certain gates have not yet been dealt with.

  • Gates interact as an entity and it is very important to walk in the Holy Spirit because certain gates can’t close against you.

  • Gates are even there before the presence of God (Ps 100:4)

  • If you are a murmuring and complaining believer you will never gain access into the courts of God

  • When the enemy fights you, he fights you through gates (Matt 16:8)

Genesis 22:17 (KJV)

17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;

  • You have to know how to possess the gate of your enemies otherwise you are a sitting duck to your enemy
  • Gates have a lot of influence because if the enemy wants to fight you he fights through gates
  • To defeat gates you will need a lot of strength from God (Isa 28:6)

Family Gates

  • This gate is also a legislative gate
  • When things go wrong in your life it means some elder is managing the legislative gate and determines what reaches your life and what doesn’t
  • You may be praying a lot, fasting a lot yet no change visible in your life
  • Your life will never manifest until you turn the battle to the gates of your family
  • The main purpose of the Legislature is to;
  1. Regulate.
  • This means there are people at the gate who regulate and according to decisions they make certain things can reach you and certain things are not permitted to reach you
  • That is why sometimes the strong man of your family who is an elder at the gate of your family doesn’t mind you praying and fasting because they understand that when it comes to the issue of gates these are legislative issues
  • Unless your prayers become legal the elders at the gates won’t have an issue with you going to church
  • Jesus Christ did a 40 day fast yet after he finished he was tempted by the devil
  • Sometimes as a believer you think your fasting is solving something but you need to understand that without the knowledge of gates you might not have traction.
  • Legislation deals with authorization
  • So Elders at the gate of your family authorize blessings and things in and out of your life
  • Gates are systems that were started by God so He also respects gates and elders
  • Elders at the gates also deal with out-lawing certain things in your life
  • Legislature means to sanction, grant and declare so there is an evil elder who declares you not to have a prosperous life
  • Gates are legal systems
  • In the bible Kings had certain moments where they were supposed to rule at the gate
  • This shows how serious and spiritual gates are
  • 8th Avenue Bulawayo underneath is a river and that is the gate

1 Kings 22:10 (KJV)

10 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

  • The family gate has a system of people authorized to manage this gate and they are called elders
  • it is illegal for this gate to be functional without elders (Deut 16:18)
  • Many of our gates in our families are judged by elders who have turned their backs on God (Lam 5:14)
  • Things stop functioning when the gates have no elders
  • Your family gate will not happen without elders
  • That’s why even the church has elders (Jam 5:14)
  • Elders are so powerful that certain things you didn’t want In your life manifest because the elders decided and changed the law so that decree happens
  • Some battles you will not win till you take them to the gate where your elders (strongmen) are.
  • Everything you receive even from God Himself must pass through the gate ratified through elders
  • You might be a well meaning believer but you can’t get married, have a certain amount of wealth because of the elders at your gate not authorizing these blessings for you
  • Some elders bring you down because you just bought a bicycle and that makes you look too well in their sight hence they bring you down
  • God is releasing your answers to your prayer but your elders have power to stop those blessings from reaching you (Judges 11:6-7)

Things that elders do at the gate.

  • Family elders are custodians of the secrets of the bloodline in your family
  • Before Christ was born the elders knew he was going to come (Isa 7:14)
  • If you don’t take this battle to the gates Some elders in your bloodline will continue messing you up
  • God had to kill Pharaoh in order for the Israelites to come out of bondage
  • Because God has sent this message

HE HAS SENT A WARNING AGAINST YOUR ELDERS and until some evil elders die in your bloodline (gates) your change might not be visible (Isa 53:8) .

  • Elders know your mantles, know what you can carry so that’s why when you were born they did rituals to block your mantle.
