J esus said to Peter, “ Satan desired to have you, so he can sift you as wheat” Luke 22:31 (KJV) And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: Luke 22:32 (KJV) But I have prayed for thee, that thy ((faith fail not:)) and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

HOW DO WE KNOW A FAILING FAITH:

First! “Faith” in St Luke 22:32 is talking about, 1 complete trust or confidence. 2 strong belief in a religion. Finally! (( 3 a system of religious belief.)) Every human being has a philosophy, a faith system, if this faith system is base on fables, then it crumble with time. One of my co-workers and my self was driving pass a house. He pointed to the house and told me that, that is his house. Then he went on to say he name it and claim it. Now! That house is other people house, there is no sign on the house that the house are up for sale. Yet! He is naming and claiming other people houses. Now! This new kind of teaching is not base on the word of God, and after all that name it and claiming it fails, the person feeling hurt and their hope crumble like as spider's web. These are the people who turn again and fight religion, and say there is no God. Because all what the scriptures say and it never materialized for them.

You can know that Satan initialize a believer according to how the believer thinks, and communicate. If the believer concept life or beliefs system is distorted, then Satan has single out the believer for destruction. Watch! Those so-call wise talks, those little phrases.

“The lord told me” “The Holy Spirit reveals to me” Then they make it sound like they are having a different and a special kind of relationship with the lord, and the Holy Spirit, independent of the scriptures. They do not need to read the scriptures, because they are getting things direct from God. Then! For all that revelation that they are getting. You do not see what it is doing for them. None of the revelation is showing them how to love their neighbor and how to get on with their neighbor. They are filled up with the spirit of resentment, unforgiven spirit, and envy. You do not see nothing that, that revelation that they are getting, is doing for them. Their lives is not going foreword on nothing. They are always complaining, not happy, and are having no peace. There is no evidence of praising going on in their life.

2 Tim. 1:7 (KJV) For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

A Christians woman visit our church one Sunday. She came to the altar for prayer. She begin to shaking, crying and making a lot of noises. We younger believers had the wrong concept of what a Holy spirit filled person suppose to be, because this actions we concluded to be the Holy Spirit working upon her. This person married seven times, and each time the marriage end in disaster. She was rebellious, cannot be led, cannot be taught, we could do nothing with her but leave her alone. She was like a sheep gone astray.

LOOK FOR EXAMPLE IN THE WORD OF GOD, AND APPLIED IT TO YOUR SITUATION:

You have to release the word of God in your life. Understood it's true meaning, and form your concept around it. Not what you think, or how you wish it to go. But, how God say it suppose to go. While listening to preachers, you must also bear in mind that some people interpret the word of God, with a distorted thinking. Like white people talking about Africa. Show us pictures of monkeys and some old huts, at the same time the high rising building, and black pilots flying jumbo jets from Africa to England is not shown to us. When dealing with the word of God, approach it with an open mind. Do not go make or plant evidence to support what you think.

1 Cor. 10:13 (KJV) There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. Any problem that a Christians had, there are example in the scriptures, where the believer can get the answer. Psalm 119:11 (KJV) Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

YOU ARE TRYING TO BUY A CAR:

You have to get your debts / faith / concepts in line with what the Bible has to say about owing money. Proverbs 22:7 (KJV) The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. According to the book. “Deal with your debt” written by Liz Pulliam Weston. Page 21. Auto loan rates by Credit Score. If you have a bad credit rating. For example. 560- 619. Your interest rate would be 14. 478%. Monthly payment would be $551. In comparison to the person that has 720 - 850 whose interest rate 5.900%. And would be paying $469 per month. You would be losing $82 per Months and $984 per year due to bad credit.

GIVETH YOU POWER TO GET WEALTH:

Deut. 8:18 (KJV) But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

Giving you power to get wealth is nothing more than the understanding of the monetary system, debts, lenders and interest rate. If we fails to understood this money system we will be swallowed up by debts and never came out of it.

In the book.(1) “Cashflow quadrant” By Robert T. Kiyosaki & Sharon L. Lechter.C.P.A Publisher. Warner Business books. New York Boston. Page 61. “The average American millionaire is self-employed, live frugally, and invests for the long term.” If your income is coming only from employment. You will not be making money. We must invest, as well as become self -employed and move on to become business people. (1) Cashflow quadrant” By Robert T. Kiyosaki & Sharon L. Lechter.C.P.A Publisher. Warner Business books. God gives power to get wealth, so it is not sinful in itself. It is the misuse of wealth its use contrary to God's will that constitutes sin. ALL THE LENDERS NETWORK TOGETHER AND ARE FROM THE SAME CLUB.

SOMETIME ONLY JESUS CAN HELP US:

Matthew 6:33-AV But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Isaiah 55:6-AV Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Isaiah 55:7-AV Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

LOOK AT THE BENEFITS OF BECOMING A CHRISTIAN:

How does a person become a Christian, and are sure that he/she is save? First the person must know that he/she is a sinner and need deliverance from the lord.

Romans 3:23 (KJV) for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Galatians 3:22 (KJV) But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

THE SINNER MUST BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A GOD:

Hebrews 11:6 NKJV But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

THE SINNER MUST BELIEVE THAT GOD IS READY TO FORGIVE HIM:

Isaiah 55:7 (KJV)Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

THE SINNER MUST BELIEVE THAT CHRIST DIED FOR HIM:

Romans 5:6 (KJV) For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

Romans 5:8 (KJV)But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

1 Cor. 15:3-8 (KJV) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; [4] And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: [5] And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: [6] After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. [7] After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. [8] And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

MUST BELIEVE THAT GOD CAN KEEP HIM:

Ephes. 3:20 (KJV) Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Jude 1:24 (KJV) Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

PERFECTING THE SAINTS IS A WORK OF GOD:

1 Peter 5:10 (KJV) But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.

THE SINNER MUST KNOW THAT ONLY JESUS CAN SAVE THEM:

Acts 4:12 (KJV) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

THE SINNER MUST MAKE A DECISION TODAY:

Isaiah 1:18 (KJV) Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

2 Cor. 6:2 (KJV) (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

DROP ALL PRE-CONCEIVE IDEAS OF CHRISTIANITY:

Drop all preconceived ideas of Christianity because these conflict with the reality of Christianity. The lord will live the life through you day by day. You do not drop things from your life on your own. The spirit of God will walk you out of sins in his own time.

FIRST HUMBLING YOU:

Ephes. 2:8-9 (KJV)For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.

If you stop sins and get holy before God’s timing you will begin to boast how it is your own magnetism got you so far, then you became a source of discouragement to others. Therefore, you are going to stuck upon a sin or two. The sin always getting the better of you. This will push you to always accept God’s grace, and to see your own frailness.

1 John 1:8 (KJV) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

TO CONTINUE GROWING IN GOD:

1 Peter 2:2 (KJV) As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

2 Peter 1:5-10 (NKJV) But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. 10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble.

FINDING OUT YOUR CALLING:

When I was newly save, the believers always, ask me if I know the will of God for my life! I never really know what they were talking about. Every person that was saved had a mission and a gift. However, because you are just a babe in Christ you do not know any of these. As you go on with the lord his will for you will unfolds day bay day. Do not run off and make any big commitment. Your mate has to be tailor made for you by God. You are now a citizen of heaven. Heaven does not rule by democracy. You cannot serve God with democratic mind set.

WHAT YOU MUST DROP OFF:

Hebrews 12:1 (Living Bible) Since we have such a huge crowd of men of faith watching us from the grandstands, let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let us run with patience the particular race that God has set before us.

Ephes. 4:31 (Living Bible) Stop being mean, bad-tempered, and angry. Quarreling, harsh words, and dislike of others should have no place in your lives.

Col. 3:8 (Living Bible) but now is the time to cast off and throw away all these rotten garments of anger, hatred, cursing, and dirty language.

GET A GOOD BIBLE, AND FIND A GOOD CHURCH:

One of the best Bibles out there is the New King James Version. Dake’s annotated Bible is very good. Next, you need a living bible to make some thing simple.

Hebrews 10:25 (Living Bible) Let us not neglect our church meetings, as some people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the day of his coming back again is drawing near.

PROTECTING YOURSELF FROM BEING SPOILED BY MAN:

Col. 2:8 (KJV)Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Hebrews 13:9 (KJV) Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

Seven Ways that People Can Spoil Christians:

1. Through philosophy (Col. 2:8)

2. Through vain deceit (Col. 2:4,8,18-19)

3. Through human traditions (Col. 2:8)

4. Through human religion and world principles contrary to the gospel (Col. 2:8,14-23; note, §Galatians 4:3)

5. Through circumcision (Col. 2:11-13; Acts 15:1; Romans 4:9-16; Galatians 5:1-11)

6. Through the law of Moses, demanding observance of the laws on meats, drinks, holy days, new moons, feasts, and sabbaths (Col. 2:14-17)

7. Through cults that puff up and imitate the gospel (Col. 2:18-23)

By all these means, unsuspecting souls are being carried off as plunder and booty by false teachers. The founders of false religions and human philosophies which pamper the flesh and give their victims elated feelings of importance make an appeal to them.

Christianity is loaded down with some false concept. Some little believe system, which are spread by false believers. One of such teaching is that you must “Look like Christians” How does Christians look? Genuine Christianity is not an external thing but of the heart and spirit.

Micah 6:8 (KJV)He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

When cults capture a newly converted Christians, the cult first job on that new believer is to close their mind. Preventing the new believer from reading any material from other churches. So that new believer will never get out of their trap.

YOUR HORMONE DOES NOT STOP WORKING WITH CHRISTIANITY:

Philip. 3:20-21 (KJV)For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: [21] Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Romans 8:23 (KJV) And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

Our bodies were not save at conversion. The work of redemption took place in your spirit man. Our body will be redeemed at the return of our lord. We are still waiting for the redemption of our body.

According to Philip 3:20-21 and Romans 8:23. You are still going to have urges. You have to present your body to the lord as a living sacrifice. Not dead one. Living sacrifice give trouble, you will have trouble keeping that body tied to the altar. However, as you and I grow in the lord what seem impossible will be quite possible.

Come back for update soon.

A window is opened, a bird eye view is given, a voice is heard, a man is enlightened a soul is saved.
