You betta Recognize

WORLD WAR ME

Affirmations

Luke 22:31–34 AV

31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. 33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. 34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

(Today’s Text Brings me to some pivotal points)

1. Pete didn’t recognize who was talking… (31) And the LORD Said

The Lord will speak to us in several ways

Through Prayer

Through Prophecy

Through Worship & Praise

Through The Word Of God

Through People of God

Through Your Pastor

Jeremiah 3:15 AV

15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

2. Pete didn’t recognize the relationship Satan has with the Lord (Satan hath desired) hath asked permission.

Psalm 44:21 AV

21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

Satan asked permission because as much as Peter loved Jesus, he had to some unresolved matters of the heart.

Jeremiah 17:9 AMP

9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly perverse and corrupt and severely, mortally sick! Who can know it [perceive, understand, be acquainted with his own heart and mind]?

God allows us to be tried by fire to burn off the perversion, corruption & immoral behavior.

3. Pete didn’t realize: His life was about to get sifted (turned upside down/ inside out!!)

4. Pete didn’t recognize the power of intercession and how the Lord’s Prayer for his faith wouldn’t fail was paramount.

Pete might fail in his test, But as long as his faith in God didn’t fail he still had a chance for redemption.

5.Peter didn’t recognize that his fall from GRACE would remove all the arrogance, pride and high mindedness he struggled with

Ive seen my share of half brothers & sisters. Wait do you know what a half brother is?

A half brother is one that halfway saved, halfway prays, halfway pay their tithes, halfway come to church.. But they always want to encourage another sister or brother.

At that point of conversion he could encourage the brethren. He was now a full fledged true Blue brother...

6. Pete didn’t recognize his Achille’s Heal

He thought he was ready to die and go to jail

And he might have been ready but he wasn’t ready for the other stuff.

Lk 22:48-51 48 Jesus looked at him with sorrow and said, “A kiss, Judas? Are you really going to betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”49 When the other disciples understood what was happening, they asked, “Lord, shall we fight them with our swords?”50 Just then, one of the disciples swung his sword at the high priest’s servant and slashed off his right ear. 51 Jesus stopped the incident from escalating any further by shouting, “Stop! That’s enough of this!” Then he touched the right side of the injured man’s head and the ear grew back—he was healed!

Luke 22:54–60 TPT

54 The religious leaders seized Jesus and led him away, but Peter followed from a safe distance. They brought him to the home of the high priest, where people were already gathered out in the courtyard. 55 Someone had built a fire, so Peter inched closer and sat down among them to stay warm. 56 A girl noticed Peter sitting in the firelight. Staring at him, she pointed him out and said, “This man is one of Jesus’ disciples!” 57 Peter flatly denied it, saying, “What are you talking about, girl? I don’t know him!” 58 A little while later, someone else spotted Peter and said, “I recognize you. You’re one of his, I know it!” Peter again said, “I’m not one of his disciples.” 59 About an hour later, someone else identified Peter and insisted he was a disciple of Jesus, saying, “Look at him! He’s from Galilee, just like Jesus. I know he’s one of them.” 60 But Peter was adamant. “Listen, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Don’t you understand? I don’t even know him.” While the words were still in his mouth, the rooster crowed.

7. Pete didn’t realize the Rooster was going to reveal who he really was.

Lord Help Me To Recognize!!!
