Despite Peter's failure, God still had a plan for him. Despite your failure, God has a plan for you too. If you want to be freed from the bondage of Satan and stop his sifting there are some things you must do.
Recognize the power of your confession:
The Kingdom of God operates on the basis of confession. If you confess Jesus, you are saved If you confess healing, you will be healed. If you confess negative things, that is what you will get. Death and life are in the power of your own tongue. Paul explains the importance of confession:
Romans 10:9, 10 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God bath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
The prodigal son of Luke 15. is a prime example. His inheritance was a well of financial resources that he thought would never run dry. He went out and lived a sinful life, lost everything, and eventually was sitting in a barnyard sharing a meal with pigs. Finally, this young man had ingested one too many pig meals. The Scriptures say, “he came to himself.” He was finally willing to admit that he had made a mess of things. He stopped blaming his parents, bad luck, or his friends. He confessed, "I have sinned."
Where are you today? Are you walking in freedom in Christ advancing towards your divine destiny, the purpose for which you were created? Or are you bound by the enemy, a slave to his purposes?
If you were blindsided and bound by the enemy it is time to come to yourself and return to the Father's house. It is time for you to call upon the Lord and admit your need. When you confess your need, God will act in your behalf:
Psalm 12:5 "Because of the oppression of the weak and the groaning of the needy, I will now arise," says the Lord. "I will protect them from those who malign them."
