On the way to eternal happiness, we must expect to be assaulted and sifted by Satan. Please understand the "sifting" process referenced here is an all out assault against the "Man of God" and his character. If he (Satan) cannot destroy him physically, he will try to disgrace or distress us. Nothing more certainly forebodes a fall, in a professed follower of Christ, than self-confidence, with disregard to warnings, and contempt of danger.

If believers were left to themselves, they would fall; but they are kept by the power of God, and the prayer that Jesus prayed. Encourage yourself during the tough times, during your "sifting process", during that attack of the enemy, knowing that Christ prayed for you, that your FAITH fail you not.

But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not:
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not:
and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
