How to be a Courageous Christian Luke 22:31-34

Your Adversary Will Sift You Satan is your adversary Satan “sifts” you to reveal the dirt and trash in your life He uses our faults to accuse us and condemn us before God Satanic Accusation vs. Holy Spirit Conviction: The Devil Condemns us; The Holy Spirit Cleanses us

Your Abilities Will Sabotage You Peter was sabotaged by his own abilities: Self-Confidence (Prov. 28:26) Prayerlessness (Lk. 22:44-46) Fleshly Courage (Lk. 22:33)

Your Actions Will Surprise You Peter did not expect to deny the Lord “Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” (I Cor. 10:12) “The heart is deceitful above all things and without cure. Who can understand it?” (Jer. 17:9)

Your Advocate Will Secure You Our Advocate is the Lord Jesus Christ (I Jn. 2:1, Heb. 7:25) God allows Satan to come against us to reveal what is in our hearts The most miserable person is a saved person who is out of fellowship with Jesus The most joyful people are those who stand for Jesus
