Episode Details

What happens when the enemy is not just opposing us in general, but has specifically asked to sift us like wheat? That is the sobering and powerful question at the heart of this message drawn from Luke 22. In the final hours before the cross, Jesus turns to Peter and delivers a warning that cuts right through the celebration of the Last Supper. The enemy has asked to shake you, to thresh you, to beat you down and let the wind carry you away. And yet in the very same breath, Jesus does not pray that the trial would stop. He prays that faith would not fail. That distinction is everything. This message invites us to sit with the uncomfortable truth that God does not always intercede the way we want Him to. We want the disaster prevented. He prays us through it. We want the sin stopped before it happens. He prays that we would not stay down when we fall. The sifting does not have the final word. Faith does.
