Luke 22:32 (NKJV) But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.”
Jesus is praying for Simon Peter. Peter is about to go through a time of testing and great discouragement. His instructions are, that once he is restored and encouraged, to go and do the same for his brothers. We all need each other. There are times when each of us will go through trying times. Times when we feel that we are at the end of our rope. Times when we don't know how we'll have the strength to go on. These are the times when we need prayers from others. We need their encouraging words. Just as Aaron and Hur held up Moses' hands in the battle and defeated the Amalekites, God has placed around you those who will war in the spirit to get you through the battle. Once you have made it through the valley of the shadow, it's important to know that there are those whose lives you have been placed in to strengthen and encourage them through their battles. If one can put a thousand to flight, then two can put ten thousand to flight. There is strength in numbers. Peter went on to preach and see thousands give their lives to Jesus Christ. You can be the one person that can impact someone else's life that causes them to go on and do great things. Strengthen your brothers.
Have A Blessed Day
