Pressing through Our Struggles & Hardships
Throughout my study of creation, and especially on the seed and the harvest, God has revealed marvelous truth about His plan for us and all creation. Pressing through hardships, trials, tests, and tribulation is something necessary for all believers to go through. You see during the harvests, the grain must be threshed (stumped, beat out, tear, rip apart) in order to reveal the naked kernal. The outer covering of the naked kernal must be removed in order to be used for food or for sowing.
All this to say that when Jesus said to Simon Peter that Satan was seeking to sift him as wheat in Luke 22:31-32, Jesus did not say to Simon Peter to pray to be delivered, NO, Jesus said "I have prayed especially for you that your faith would not fail, and when you yourself have been turned again, strengthen and establish your brethren". The common message throughout scripture is to "Take Courage", "Stand", "Endure", "Trust and Obey". Amen..
Here is the "nugget", when we see our brothers and sisters going through tough times, we must do as Jesus did and pray that their faith would not fail, and encourage them that when they have been turned again, to strengthen and establish your other brothers and sisters.
