Summary

God's way often involves allowing us to reach a 'zero point'—a place of total failure—because this breaking is necessary preparation for God to fill us with the Holy Spirit and use us mightily. The message assures listeners that even if they feel like total failures, God still loves them and is praying that their faith will not fail. True faith is believing in God's love even after repeated failures.

Outline

The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.

Why Jesus didn't pray that Peter should not fallDenying Jesus is worse than adultery, yet Jesus told Peter He was not going to pray that Peter would not fall.

Luke 22:34Jesus predicted Peter would deny Him three times but prayed instead that Peter's faith would not fail when he hit rock bottom.Luke 22:34

A faith that will not failA faith that does not fail means believing God still loves you and will lift you up even when you have failed miserably.

Why God allows strong people to fall into sinWhen other methods of breaking pride such as financial difficulties, sickness, or difficult relatives fail, God's last method to break a strong person is to allow them to fall into sin.

Peter's brokenness and restorationAfter Peter wept bitterly and went back to fishing, Jesus came, commissioned him again, and prepared him for the day of Pentecost.

Protection from prideBecause God had brought Peter to a zero point six weeks prior when he denied the Lord, the massive success on the day of Pentecost did not go to Peter's head.

Reaching the zero pointGod must bring everyone to a zero point and fill them with the Holy Spirit before using them mightily.

Prayer and encouragement for the discouragedThere is hope for everyone, and every failure brings a person closer to the zero point and the spirit-filled life.
