FASCINATE MY SPIRIT #120
Title: "Jesus: I Have Prayed for You”
Scripture: Luke 22:31-38
Date: November 13, 2020
“Peter, my dear friend, listen to what I’m about to tell you. Satan has demanded to come and sift you like wheat and test your faith. But I have prayed for you, Peter, that you would stay faithful to me no matter what comes. Remember this: after you have turned back to me and have been restored, make it your life mission to strengthen the faith of your brothers.”
“But Lord,” Peter replied, “I am ready to stand with you to the very end, even if it means prison or death!”
Jesus looked at him and prophesied, “Before the rooster crows in the morning, you will deny three times that you even know me.”
Then he said to all of them, “When I sent you out empty-handed, did you lack anything?”
“Not a thing,” they answered. “God provided all we needed.”
Jesus said, “But now I say to you: Take what you need. If you have money, take it—and a knapsack and a sword. Danger is imminent. For the prophetic Scripture about me ‘He will be accused of being a criminal’ will now come to pass. All that was prophesied of me will be fulfilled.”
The disciples told him, “Lord, we already have two swords!”
“You still don’t understand,” Jesus responded.”
