Luke 22:31-32
"Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to
sift you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not
fail..."
We are still answering the question what
can make your faith to fail.
“Looking diligently lest any man fail of
the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and
thereby many be defiled.” Hebrews 12:15
“Look after each other so that not one of
you will fail to find God's best blessings. Watch out that no
bitterness takes root among you, for as it springs up it causes deep trouble,
hurting many in their spiritual lives.” TLB
“Therefore it is of faith, that it might
be by grace…” Romans 4:16
Notice that it calls the grace of God,
God’s best blessings in the Living Bible translation.
So when the grace of God fails in my life,
I have failed to find God’s best blessings. Now ultimately what makes one fail
to find God’s best blessings, it is when your faith fails.
But what is responsible for it is allowing
root of bitterness to stay in you, that is, walking in unforgiveness.
Unforgiveness will truncate your faith. This means your faith might be alright
when you started out, but along the way you allowed unforgiveness into your
heart and did not deal with it.
This will make your faith to fail and it
will not deliver to you the blessings of God. This is why Jesus said when you
stand praying, forgive… But I will add that when you are on the walk of faith,
also forgive immediately you are offended.
