#124: Are You Being Sifted?

March 25, 2023

Job was sifted by the devil. So was Peter. Question . . . Are you being sifted?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I’m sharing the message I shared at our most recent REVIVE Woman Girls Night Out. This one is all about getting delivered, my friend, in the most “normal” of ways. And also about knowing how to navigate the sifting season without pressing the “eject button” and having to repeat the process all over again later. How can you make it through a sifting to come out with the testimony in your mouth that overcomes the enemy? If you’d like to know the answer, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let’s Go!

THE 10-DAY QUIET TIME CHALLENGE · Have you been struggling to have an effective, daily quiet time with God? What would it mean to you if you could successfully spend 30 minutes with Him first thing in the morning — reading some scripture, praying and even journaling a bit — in such a way that it upleveled your cadence and outlook for the rest of the day? If this is something you’re wanting, I’ve got you, Sis! Join me for the REVIVE Woman 10-Day Quiet Time Challenge happening May 1st through the 12th. Go here to learn all the details and to get signed up: revivewoman.org/QTChallenge.

Scripture References Mentioned in This Episode:

Luke 22:31-32
“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.”

1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

Romans 4:20-22
No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. That is why his faith was “counted to him as righteousness.”

Revelation 12:10-11
And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.

Matthew 16:16-18, 20
Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Then he strictly charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.

John 21:1-19
