“Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.” Matthew 26:34 KJV

This statement made by Jesus to Peter, is also made to each of us. As difficult as it is to believe that we can and will deny the Lord at some point on our Christian journey, it is undeniably true. By design, life has a way of coming strong at us, in a manner that thoroughly sifts our faith. Each of us must and will be tested. 

In this message, “When Faith Fails”,  Pastor Jeffrey Walter teaches that self-generated faith must fail, so that proper faith, borne out of a converted heart, can be given to us. By that proper faith from a new ruling love which originates from the Lord, we will know for sure that nothing: be it tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, or sword shall separate us from the Love of Christ.

[31] And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: [32] but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. [33] And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. [34] And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
