‘Satan Cannot Destroy Us’ Says Baptist Church

Members of First Baptist Dallas, in Dallas, Texas, spoke to the Christian Post about a tragic four-alarm fire that engulfed their church in late July.

“It’s like those flames represented the flames of Hell, and they were destroying the truth that I had banked my life and eternity on,” Pastor Robert Jeffress told the more than 3,000 churchgoers who attended a service at Kay Baily Hutchinson Convention Center that Sunday morning following the fire.

“This last Friday night, it looked like the gates of Hell were prevailing, that Satan was going to win,” Jeffress continued. “That was Friday night, but ladies and gentlemen, it is Sunday morning. It is a day of resurrection.” (RELATED: Melania Trump Breaks Silence On Assassination Attempt)

“It’s not a day of death,” he added. “And I am pledging to you, we’re going to rebuild that sanctuary. We’re going to recreate it as a standing symbol of the truth, the unchangeableness, the endurance of the Word of God.”

Do Not Allow Satan To Rule Your Life

“We cannot allow Satan to have the last word,” Jeffress continued. “If we allow that thing to remain in ruins, it will look to the whole world like we’ve been defeated by the evil one. So we’re going to rebuild, we’re going to recreate.”

Jeffress says he does not believe the fire was caused by arson. People have mocked Jeffress for the horrific fire as it happened just days after he praised God for saving Presidential candidate Donald Trump from an attempted assassination against his life. But Jeffress noted that God did save His people, as thousands of children attending vacation bible school had vacated the premises just before the fire broke out.

“This week, I’ve received several requests [from] some scoffers mocking, saying, ‘Last week you were up there telling everybody in America that God thwarted an assassination attempt. Where is that God now? Is that same God responsible for allowing that fire in your church?’ To which I say, ‘Absolutely, it’s the same God.'” Jeffress said. “He is so powerful, so wonderful. He can cause the worst things in your life to work together for our good and His eternal purpose. That’s the kind of God we serve.”
