Sifted Indeed - 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.”

     Here is a message to every Christian!  Indeed, satan has asked for you, just as he has asked for those before you!  Job was a righteous man before the LORD and satan asked for him!  I’m sure you know of someone in your family who has had to go through some sifting! And if it has not happened to you yet . . . keep on living!  Because satan will indeed ask for you too!  JESUS is praying that our faith should not fail!  NOTICE:  You can fall without failing.  Nothing and no one can pull us from the Master’s hand!  So be faithful and don’t give up.  When you fall, get back up in the name of JESUS.  As I have said many times before,  it is not an “IF”, but a “WHEN” you are sifted . . . know that the Lord is on your side!  What satan means to harm you with, GOD will turn it for the good!  Read the book of Job! Then thank GOD that you are considered wheat to the enemy and not a tare!
