Understanding Satan's role (5)


Tuesday 25th September 2018



'Satan has demanded the right to test each one of you.' Luke 22:31 CEV



Luke writes: 'Jesus said, "Simon, listen to me! Satan has demanded the right to test each one of you, as a farmer does when he separates wheat from the husks. But Simon, I have prayed that your faith will be strong. And when you have come back to me, help the others"' (Luke 22:31-32 CEV).
When we're determined to make a difference for God in the world, and to advance his Kingdom, we'll most likely face more intense attack from Satan as he doesn't want us to be doing God's work.
But, Jesus said, 'All authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to me' (Matthew 28:18 NIV). So, when we come under opposition, we shouldn't give up. In actual fact, when we're going through tough times, it can lead to us having a testimony of God's goodness. As we see in Luke 22, Jesus was allowing Simon Peter to experience a trial so that he could encourage his brothers.
The whole world needs to see and hear real stories of his power. So, our difficulties may be preparing us to encourage others who are struggling. Remember what Joseph said to his brothers: 'You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good' (Genesis 50:20 NAS). Since God loves us and wants the best for us, good things will come from the difficulties we're going through right now.

So what now? Think of a time when you felt you were being tested but saw God's goodness in the end. Now write it down and share it with someone.

Sorry, I don’t have any yet, but I will keep praying until I have victory and then I can share with you all

Jesus defeated the devil on his own terms. To worship God and to Him adore Him forever. If you are tempted by satan, call on the Jesus and in His name cast him out of your room. He will flee from you and will not bother you anymore.

My education was stopped for a long time due to different reasons. Jesus helped me to complete and reach my goal.
Then wasn't able to find a job related to my education for a long time. Jesus helped me to find my desired job at time at a critical time of my life.
Thank you the prayer warriors for being there during my difficulty and praying for me.
Thank you Jesus for keeping me strong and giving me hope thru Holy Bible. Thank you for blessing me to complete my education and getting my desired job.

Satan still trying to destroy me with another issue, the devil is trying to destroy my marriage. Jesus I am putting this request in your hands. I believe that you won't let the enemy win this battle. Please Jesus fight this for me, you already won the victory, Lord.
Thank you for keeping me strong to take care of my kids and going through this battle for 18 year. I love and trust you, Lord.

Gods Sheep, Jesus loves you and cares for you. There is a reason for everything that happens in our life. Sometimes we have to go through a dark tunner where we do not know where the end will be. But Jesus is right there for you. To help you and to guide your steps towards heaven. I am praying for you and with you. No matter what happens in this world, Jesus will never ever leave you nor forsake you. Trust, believe and wait for him always. In Jesus name. Amen

Don't give up, stay strong in the Lord. One day you'll have testimony to share, you just have to wait for God's time and will. As humans it is hard for us to wait because we have bills to pay bills, we need food and shelter, take care of our kids, etc. But even if we have to wait long, God will protect us and provide for all our needs.
God bless you. Praying for you.

 

[ElderJeremy]

Every time you feel depressed, all alone in the world and unhappiness has come to you, call on the Lord. When things go wrong at work and at home, ask Jesus to cast the devil out from your surroundings. Jesus will hear from heaven and the tempest that has come to your life will quiet down. All done in the name of the Lord Jesus.
