The second point in our Christian walk crosses we I call the "obedience line." That is, when we determine in our hearts to go all the way with the Lord. We realize there is nothing in this world, which owns us, and we are determine to obey the word of God in all ways and at any price.
The moment we cross the line, the moment we enter into a life of obedience and dependence on Christ, we each alarm set in hell. Why? We have become a threat to the enemy. We will therefore be an objective of any power and Principality of.
When you are not being fully devoted to God, do not have the devil Generate or harass you much because you simply do not pose much of a threat against him. But things changed. You were all shops for God. The word of the Lord came Alive for you, and you began to read it and living it ravenously.
When you decided to give your all to the Lord, you were a prime target of the enemy. Ever since then the devil wanted to sift you, like him, Peter. "Simon, Simon ...Satan wanted to have them, so that he may sift you as wheat "(Luke 22: 31). It is here that Jesus introduces the subject of how the enemy seeks to sift the people of God.
Sifting funds for shaken and separated just like grains of sudden attempt in life. It is to be shocked by shaking events and situations, shaking our foundations. In Kristuss day used grain workers a si just before they fired harvested grain. First, shoveled the wheat to a rectangular box covered with netting. Then they turned on box header and shook it violently. Grit and dirt fall through netting until only wheat grains remained. Jesus said to Peter: "Satan does not believe your faith is genuine. He thinks if he shakes your life with burdens hard tests and painful attempts, your faith will fall to the ground as worthless refuse. "
Satan sift not any true believer, except by permission of God. Dust-tight and he seeks only those who threaten its work. So, why Satan wishes to sift Peter? Why was he so eager to test him? Here is why. Satan is always after the tree with the most potential to bear fruit. He is always after the trønde that make an impact in the Kingdom of God.
Satan is jealous of the glory of God, and he hates us because we reflect the glory, and we reflect the more and more as we grow in Christ. It is important that we know this, because only then will we see that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but authorities and powers of this dark world and the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly realms.
The devil is not ignorant. Somehow he knew Peter was put out to bear much fruit. He knew that God would give Peter power and authority, that much would be used against his own Kingdom of darkness.
Let me ask you about your own life. If you feel you are in a kind of sieve right now? You will be shocked and spatter? In that case, ask yourself: why you? Satan sifting you because you are playing an important role in God's Kingdom. You have set apart by God and drawn up by his own hand must be a strong witness to many. And the greater your potential for God's Kingdom, your sifting becomes more serious.
My friend, it is God's image in you, so enrages hell. It is not your gift, your car or your material possession. It is your yoke-breaking, devil-destroying anointing. Satan will come against you, because he has seen a glimpse of your threat to his Kingdom. But don't let Satan sift you. Stand in faith and be strong, because Jesus praying for you.
