Christian Perspectives - The Devil Is Defeated, Despite What You See
The Devil Is Defeated, Despite What You SeeGreetings Reader Satan targeted Peter, one of Jesus' closest friends, and tried to trip him up. Jesus even told Peter how he would fall, yet he still fell. Below is the scripture verse we're using today. Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat. But I have pleaded in prayer for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. So when you have repented and turned to me again, strengthen your brothers. Luke 22:31-32 Before you read today's post, look at the observations of this verse I've made. · Jesus knew what Satan wanted to do because he asked permission. · Jesus didn't pray that Satan wouldn't do it. He prayed for Peter's faith. · Jesus also knew that Peter would repent and strengthen others. Other observations are in the post. Enjoy it. God Bless Robin

Focus on Jesus and The Progress You've Made Greetings Reader Due to a few days of sickness, I didn't post a devotion on Friday nor send you an email. I'm feeling much better and getting back to normal. I hope you enjoy today's post. Philippians 3 tells us to focus on the progress we've made by living for Jesus. God said something similar to Joshua when he told him to center his attention on His instructions without turning to the right or to the left. The Apostle Paul admitted to the errors...
Simple Acts Of Love Go A Long Way Greetings Reader In John's third epistle, the apostle commended Gaius for his simple acts of love and kindness. It impressed John because he heard about it from the traveling teachers who received it. As thrilled as John was to hear what Gaius did, he encouraged him to take his acts of love to the next level. I can identify with the teachers who received his hospitality because my wife and I traveled as full-time evangelists for over eight years. I want you...
How To Strengthen Your Faith Greetings Reader We don't measure our faith by its size. Jesus said that faith the size of a mustard seed is all we need. We measure it by its strength. The Apostle Peter enlightened us on how we can strengthen our faith. The apostle laid out for us the process that we need to maintain a life of faith. We will look at each individual step in this process from our text in 2 Peter. During the tense time of the arrest of Jesus and His crucifixion, Peter's faith acted...
