YOUR FAITH WILL NOT FAIL
LUKE 22:31-32 (GNB), HEBREWS 7:25 (GNB) “Simon, Simon! Listen! Satan has received permission to test all of you, to separate the good from the bad, as a farmer separates the wheat from the chaff. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you turn back to me, you must strengthen your brothers.”…he is able, now and always, to save those who come to God through him, because he lives forever to plead with God for them.*
Jesus told Peter that Satan had planned to sift him as wheat, but He had prayed for him that his faith would not fail.
How exactly did Satan plan to sift him as wheat? Sifting is a process of separating wheat from chaff. The chaff is thrown away, and the wheat is kept for use. Jesus had no plans of seeing Peter as chaff, or of throwing him away; but Satan wanted Peter to see himself as chaff so that by himself, he would give up because of his failure, and stop following Jesus. Satan was after his faith in Jesus. Satan will try to make you feel like chaff. He will show all that is wrong with you and things that are not going as they should in your life. He will make you feel there is something wrong with you and that you cannot overcome and become everything God has said you will be. But the devil is a liar. That your faith he is after is the very thing that will help you overcome, receive and be all God has destined for you. Turn back to Jesus. Get back up. Renew your mind. You will be victorious this time.
Do you know that Jesus prayed for you when He was on earth? (John 17:20). Guess what? Jesus is still interceding for you right now (Heb. 7:25). Your faith will not fail. Don’t let the devil tell you anything that will make you stop fellowshipping with God or with other believers.
