SIFTED SAINTS Luke 22:31-34 “I’ve been praying for you Simon. I’ve been pleading with the Father that even though you’ll be going through this terrible time of testing…….your faith will eventually be firm and strong.” Luke 22:32 “For we have an advocate with the Father— Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.” 1 John 2:1 “Who died for us and was raised to life for us, and He is sitting in the place of honor at God's right hand, pleading for us.” Romans 8:34 He wants to GRIND YOU! He wants to CRUSH YOU! He wants to CUT AT THE HEART OF GOD to wound Him with you! He HATES YOU! He wants to DESTROY ANYTHING OF VALUE in you! “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, so that He can bring glory to You.” “I’m coming to you, Holy Father, asking You to protect them by the power of your name, so that they will be united just like We are. Fill them with joy, Father. And keep them secure and safe from the evil one.” “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” (1 John 3:1) “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5 NO FAILURE SHOULD EVER BE CONSIDERED FINAL!! “For Whoever conceals their sins will never prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.” (Proverbs 28:13) “If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1;9)
