In my last post, I emphasized that Prayer is not just about the usual talking to God or asking that we all do. I am talking about pleading or begging for a cause, not for a short time but a continual or consistent, intentional act that draws the grace of God to move in a given direction.
The reason for this type is because it is a plea to save the Christian not from sin but from falling into dismay.
Jesus said to Peter, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat,
Remember, Satan is only doing what he knows best, and that is to “steal, kill and destroy.” Satan intended to destroy Peter (also known as Simon).
God has a better plan; a great purpose for us than we can think of–to save us from the wicked hands.
I believe Peter would have fallen and failed if Jesus had not intervened and prayed for Peter.
It is this type of pleading that delivers from falling from Grace. We must quest for this with passion, or someone must pray on our behalf to save us from losing it all in life.
Although Peter denied Jesus three times, Peter experienced deliverance from spiritual depression and death. It is the Grace that Peter enjoyed but that Judas Iscariot could not.
The thin line between missing it and gaining is the Grace of God that comes from passionate intercession and God’s Mercy that comes with it.
I pray that we will not miss it in our lives and that we will enjoy God’s Grace and Mercy that keeps one above and flying high.
