But I have prayed for you...

Luke 22:31-32 NKJV

And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat.  But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me,  strengthen your brethren.”

† Shalom †......! Day #73. Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ is interceding for us? Let us pray. Father,  we want to thank You for always being there for us encouraging us, strengthening us, praying for us. Let not our faith fail but let it grow. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends... Our Lord Jesus Christ is still interceding for us. In today's verse as I read it, this one phrase struck me, "that your faith should not fail." Many at times we fail in our faith and we just don't care about it. Here Jesus is warning Peter before even it happens and yet Peter failed God but nevertheless to everyone is given a second chance likewise Peter. Peter's denial was an open door for a personal revival for him. What do I mean? Well God works in mysterious ways. Peter he was that one guy who likes to talk a lot,  if you realize it. Yes Peter was close to Jesus,  but he didn't really grasp what Jesus is all about for him. And when he denied Jesus, then he regretted,  I believe that he even wept bitterly and that time he was encouraged by his fellow disciples and he regained his ultimate goal in life and in Christ and he went all out for God.

If we have begun to follow Jesus, never ever turn back. Jesus prayed that we will not falter in our faith as we follow Him. Many began to deny Jesus when their lives possess extreme challenges,  sometimes because of the love of money. Peter did not deny Jesus because of money but because he was afraid that they will catch him too, but friends, after that incident, Peter was more than willing to give away his life for the cause of the Cross. Amen! We must have an encounter with God so that we would know God deeper and be rooted in Him. His word must be the base, the foundation of our lives so that the building will be strong. Basement must be firm and strong,  then the building will be strong... God bless you...

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
