God wants to manifest, demonstrate, and put on His show do draw all eyes of the region on Himself.  But He needs a body! There is a spiritual sifting experience that comes alongside the dumanis power of God.  This is where we have lost a lot of people, even pastors, because they did not understand this was part of the process.  It was shown in this sermon through Simon Peter.  No one is exempt from this type of testing. (Lu. 22: 25-31), cited the case of Job.  This temptation is to present struggles in your life to deter you from Luke 4:18.  We are the only part of God’s creation that was formed and made by His dumanis power, we have that same power in us and upon us!   The sifting process is used in harvesting wheat:  it is tossed up, shake it and sift it, the pure remains.

God let the devil in on Genesis 3:15, the Messianic promise that told of his demise.  Interesting thought:  the devil has faith and stands on God’s Word to put forth his case and demand the moment of time he has been granted to sift.  The purpose of this sifting is to change our course.   He is only permitted to our soul (mind, will, emotions) to do what he does, create imaginations that challenge God’s Word so that we do not walk with the mind of Christ (2 Cor. 10:4).  If you don’t bring these thoughts into captivity they will make you captive and separate you from the power of the Word of God.  When you are being sifted, know this, God says: “I have not changed My mind!  What I have called and placed within you has not changed!”
