Luke 22:31-34
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren." Luke 22:31, 32
Jesus prays for us because he knows...
- our short-comings
- we will falter
- our faith will not always be where it needs to be
- we aren't going to bold
- we will fall into sin
In spite of this knowledge concerning us, Jesus is praying for us. Even though Peter and the other disciples spent much time with Jesus, when it came to their own lives, they denied and abandoned Him; however Jesus had been praying for them (Ref vss Matthew 26: 74, 75; 26:56).
Did you know that Jesus is praying for you? Jesus is our intercessor with God (ref vs I John 2: 1, 2; Matthew 27:51).
Satan's Desire:
- To kill, steal and destroy the Christian
How has Satan come against you, to kill, steal, and destroy you? We are in a battle, a fight, and a war with Satan.
Satan tries to kill, steal and destroy us...
- by tearing us apart
- He will tear us to pieces by trying to destroy, kill, and steal our faith
When he takes our peace, joy, comfort and continues to, he can destroy us. When Satan tells us a lie and we believe it, he can kill us with that lie by creating doubt, thus killing our faith.
"Freedom Worship Center"
Our foundation is laid upon the principles of biblical holiness. Even before the church experienced the outpouring of the Holy Ghost, it's roots were set in the holiness revival of the past century. It was and is, a holiness church--holiness in fact and holiness in name. The passing of 18 years has not diminished our holiness position or convictions. The years have, instead, strengthened our knowledge that without holiness it is impossible to please God. We hereby remind ourselves that the Scriptures enjoin us at all times to examine our own hearts. Conditions of our day desperately require it. The basic doctrines of the church have remained constant since the inception of the church."

--ONE NATION UNDER GOD--
God's law is supreme, however we are to obey the laws of our country insofar as they are not in conflict with obedience to God (Acts 5:29). When it becomes necessary to disagree with practices and requirements of government, we should do so out of a concern for the promotion of righteousness and not out of delight in discord and controversy.
