The Horse Gate
The eighth gate that speaks about the christian life is the horse gate. The horse gate represents warfare against the devil and the world in the christian life. After christians get saved at the sheep gate, witness Jesus everywhere at the fish gate, deny sin at the dung gate, get filled with the Spirit at the fountain gate, and daily study the Word of God at the water gate, christians need to be good soldiers fighting the good fight of faith against the devil and the world at the horse gate.
Whenever a horse is mentioned in the bible warfare occurs. Horses are fearless and rush into the battle with confidence ignoring any threat from the enemy. Job 39:19 describes the horse saying Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? Note that a grasshopper fears everything and will jump at the slightest noise. But a horse is fearless and rushes into a battle. The glory of his nostrils is terrible. He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.
Job 39:22 continues to describe the fearless horse saying He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword. The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield. He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet. He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. Christians need to be fearless like the horse realizing that with Jesus they can overcome the devil and this troubled world.
Christians Should Not Be Fearful
Christians Should Be Fearless With Jesus
Christians Need To Be Fearless Soldiers At The Horse Gate
Fighting The Good Fight Of Faith Against The Devil And The World
Christians should be fearless like the horse and good soldiers for Jesus Christ fighting the good fight of faith at the horse gate. Jeremiah 8:6 tells us that the fearless horse rusheth into the battle. Christians need to be fearless like the horse having confidence that with Jesus they will overcome the devil and this troubled world. 2 Timothy 1:7 says For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 1 Timothy 6:12 says Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Don't be afraid of the devil. James 4:7 says Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Proverbs 28:1 says The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
With Jesus, saved christians have the victory over the devil. Hebrews 13:6 says So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. If anyone gets saved with Jesus, Jesus will fight their battles and give them victory over any trouble from the devil or this world. Be like Jehoshaphat and trust Jesus to fight your battles and give you victory over the devil and this troubled world. 2 Chronicles 20:17 says Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.
Get Saved With Jesus And Receive Victory Over The Devil And This World
Get Saved, Repent, Decide To Stop Sinning
Confess That Jesus Is God, And Believe The Gospel
That Jesus Died On The Cross For You, Was Buried, And Rose Again
The horse gate is mentioned at Nehemiah 3:28: From above the horse gate repaired the priests, every one over against his house. Note that the priests repaired the horse gate. All christians are kings and priests that need to be a good soldiers fighting the good fight of faith against the devil and this troubled world at the horse gate. Revelation 1:6 says that the Lord Jesus hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Keep Fighting The Good Fight Of Faith

And Sing The Words For Onward Christians Soldiers Hymn
Written By Sabine Baring-Gould in 1865
Onward christian soldiers; Marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus; Going on before
Christ the royal master; Leads against the foe
Forward into battle; See His banners go
Onward christian soldiers; Marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus; Going on before
At the sign of triumph; satan's host doth flee
On then christian soldiers; On to victory
Hell's foundations quiver; At the shout of praise
Brothers lift your voices; Loud your anthems raise
Like a mighty army; Moves the church of God
Christians we are treading; Where the saints have trod
We are not divided; All one body we
One in hope and doctrine; One in charity
Onward then ye people; Join our happy throng
Blend with ours your voices; In the triumph song
Glory, praise, and honor; Unto Christ the King
This through countless ages; Men and angels sing
Be A Good Soldier For Jesus Christ
Remember That The Blood Of Jesus, The Word Of God,
And Prayer Are Weapons To Defeat The Devil
2 Timothy 2:3 tells us to be good soldiers for Jesus Christ. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please Him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 2 Corinthians 10:3 says For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God, to the pulling down of strongholds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
After salvation with Jesus, the battle is not against flesh and blood. The battle is spiritual and against the devil and this troubled world. The greatest weapon to defeat the devil is the blood of Jesus. Revelation 12:11 says And they overcame him (defeated the devil) by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus), and by the word of their testimony: and they loved not their lives unto the death. Every day in Jesus name ask God's angels to bind the devil and send him to the pit of hell and to send the blood of Jesus over your home, car, and anywhere you travel. I guarantee you that the devil will flee and disappear because the blood of Jesus is a fence around you that the devil can not get by.
Ephesians 6:10 says Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Romans 13:12 tells us that God's armour is called the armour of light. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. In other words put on Jesus who is the armour of light every day by saying I am crucified with Jesus Christ. Jesus said at John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
Note also that the 1611 KJV Word of God who is Jesus will defeat the devil. Jesus spoke the Word of God three times to the devil saying It is written three times and the devil had to flee. Matthew 4:11 says Then the devil leaveth Him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto Him. Be encouraged because with Jesus there is victory in this spiritual battle against the devil and this troubled world. 1 Corinthians 15:57 says But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 8:37 says Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him (Jesus) that loved us.
