I have a very personal message to convey this morning. Kind of a confession if you will. A story of how easily a man can be moved from one position of faith to another. In luke 22:31, the lord said simon,simon,satanhast desired to sift you as wheat,but i have prayed for you that your faith fail not. When thou art converted,strenghten thy brethren. We know how the lord was speaking right before he was led away. He was telling peter to be ware,the adversary was coming to try to defeat them all. Much as the trial job went through. Satan sifted him but jobs faith did not fail. I recall about twelve or so years ago,at plum fork, preaching in power the word of god. In faith unwaivering,unafraid. I remember standing boldly and declaring that there was a little preacher who was not afraid. That he would declare the truth. Little did i know that i was headed into a sifting. A very long period that is still trying my faith. I was injured on the job and was retired. It left me with cronic pain and no identity. My body failed me to the point it felt like someone was riping my rib cage out very time i tried to preach. I left the asst pastorite. More and more strife built at home till my wife of 32 yrs left to try and find peace. In the next few days,if god doesnt intervene,i will have to end whats left of that marrage. Im telling you all this,not for pity or to make anyone look bad. My message friends is this. If you are going to battle against the adversary be sure youre ready to battle. What happened to me,satan was allowed a foothld and he used it. I,and others allowed it. Be sure if you declare faith,youll be given the opportunity to prove it.. Who won in my life? Im not lost,im not afraid but satan has some victories to display. Thats the shame of it. Father i love you amen.
