Why does God allow Satan to bother you?
Omar Soto
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The passage in Luke 22:31-32 emphasizes Jesus' words to Peter that Satan has asked permission to sift the disciples like wheat. This shows that Satan has to ask permission to bother God's chosen ones, and it is a reminder that we are chosen and sealed by God's Holy Spirit. The disciples couldn't believe that they would abandon Jesus, but it had to happen for God's plan to be fulfilled. The example of sifting wheat shows that we need to be shaken like wheat to remove the bad and keep what is truly useful for God's purposes. This passage fills us with hope because God knows what we are capable of and whatever Satan does will work for God's purpose in our lives.
The author discusses the concept of being shaken like wheat in order to remove the bad and keep the good, and how sometimes people struggle to accept that God has a purpose for them due to their own internal struggles and hidden sins. The author also emphasizes the importance of prayer and seeking God as a church body, rather than just individually. The author shares a personal experience of feeling the spirit of God and being called to address certain things in their life. The author encourages the church to make a regular effort to seek God, not just wait for special prayer calls.
The pastor speaks about the need for the church to seek God and not settle for just Sunday worship. He encourages the congregation to pray and trust in God's plan, even in difficult times. He believes that God can use the struggles of individuals to build them up and bless others. The pastor prays for the congregation to have a strong faith and to be affirming and restoring in their actions. He ends by saying that if the church is sifted like wheat for God's glory, it should be accepted.

God, thank you once again for the opportunity that you give me to be able to share a word with my brothers and sisters on this special day that you give us. God, as I asked you this morning, I say it again, Lord, that the words that come out of my mouth, the meditation that is in my heart, be to bring honor and glory to your name, be to bring conviction to the hearts of your children and daughters, and as I trust in you, Lord, this word will not come back empty, but will fulfill what you are sending it for. So, Lord, I place myself in your hands and may your Holy Spirit speak to each of our lives. Thank my Lord. Amen and amen.
Well brothers, I invite you to look for your Bibles, we are going to enter the book of Luke, Chapter 22 and before going fully into the message I would just like to summarize about some of the words that Pastor Roberto Miranda shared with us last Sunday. How many of you remember that message from last Sunday? How many of you left here feeling it? Let see the hands, how many felt it? And when I say they felt it, which is like get ready, get ready, that kind of feeling, not like wow, how nice. It's not that, but it's like those words like when they come they're like wow, those ear pulls that you really have to pay attention to so to speak.
