The Man in the Mirror
The Man in the Mirror
Faith that holds
 
22
 But be 
doers
 of the 
Word
 [obey the message], and not
merely 
listeners
 to it, betraying yourselves [into 
deception
by reasoning contrary to the 
Truth
]. 
23
 For if anyone only
listens
 to the Word without obeying it 
and
 being a doer of
it, he is like a man who looks carefully at his [own] 
natural
face
 in a 
mirror
; 
24
 For he thoughtfully observes himself,
and then goes off and 
promptly
 
forgets
 what he was 
like
.
James 1:22-24 (AMP)
 
The Kingdom of Heaven
The Kingdom of Heaven
 
21
 Not every one that saith unto me, 
Lord
, 
Lord
, shall 
enter
 into
the 
kingdom
 of 
heaven
; but he that doeth the 
will
 of my 
Father
which is in 
heaven 24
 Therefore whosoever 
heareth
 these sayings
of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which
built
 his 
house
 upon a 
rock
: 
25
 And the rain descended, and the
floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and
it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 
26
 And every one that
heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be
likened unto a foolish man, which 
built
 his 
house
 upon the 
sand
:
27
 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds
blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall
of it.
Matt 7:21-27 (KJV)
 
The Veil Is Taken Away
The Veil Is Taken Away
 
16
 But whenever a 
person
 
turns
 [in 
repentance
] to the
Lord
, the 
veil
 is stripped off 
and
 taken away.
18
 And all of us, as with 
unveiled
 
face
, [because we]
continued to 
behold
 [in the 
Word
 of 
God
] as in a 
mirror
the glory of the 
Lord
, are constantly being 
transfigured
into His 
very own
 
image
 in ever increasing 
splendor
 
and
from one 
degree
 of 
glory
 to 
another
; [for this comes] from
the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.
 
2 Cor 3:16-18 (AMP)
 
Satan Has Desired You
Satan Has Desired You
 
31
 
"Simon, Simon, behold, 
Satan
 has demanded 
permission
to 
sift
 you like 
wheat
; 
32
 but I have 
prayed
 for you, that
your 
faith
 may 
not
 
fail
; and you, when once you have
turned
 
again
, 
strengthen
 your 
brothers
." 
33
  But he said to
Him, "Lord, with You I am ready to go both to 
prison
 and
to 
death
!" 
34
 And He said, 
"I say to you, Peter, the rooster
will not crow today until you have 
denied
 
three
 
times
 that
you know Me."
 
Luke 22:31-34 (NASB)
 
Peter’s Sifting

54
  Having 
arrested
 
Him
, they led Him 
away
 and brought Him to the house of the
high priest; but 
Peter
 was 
following
 at a 
distance
. 
55
  After they had kindled a
fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter was sitting
among them. 
56
 And a 
servant
-
girl
, seeing him as he sat in the firelight and
looking intently at him, said, "This man was with Him too." 
57
 But 
he
 
denied
 
it,
saying, "
Woman
, I do 
not
 
know
 
Him
."
58
 A little later, another saw him and said,
"You are 
one
 of them too!" But 
Peter
 
said
, "
Man
, I am not!" 
59
 After about an hour
had passed, another man 
began
 to insist, saying, "Certainly this man also was with
Him, for he is a Galilean too." 
60
 But Peter said, "Man, I 
do
 
not
 
know
 what you are
talking
 
about
." Immediately, while he was still speaking, a 
rooster
 
crowed
.
61
  The 
Lord
 
turned
 and 
looked
 at 
Peter
. And Peter remembered the word of the
Lord, how He had told him, 
" Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me
three times."  
62
 And 
he
 went out and 
wept
 
bitterly
.
 
Luke 22:54-62 (NASB)
 
Go Tell Peter
Go Tell Peter
 
2
 And very 
early
 in the 
morning
 the 
first
 
day
 of the 
week
, they came
unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. 
3
 And they said among
themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the
sepulchre? 
4
 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled
away: for it was very great. 
5
 And 
entering
 into the 
sepulchre
, they saw
a 
young
 
man
 sitting on the 
right
 
side
, clothed in a long white garment;
and they were affrighted. 
6
 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted:
Ye seek 
Jesus
 of Nazareth, which was 
crucified
: he is risen; he is not
here: behold the place where they laid him. 
7
 But go your way, 
tell
 his
disciples
 and 
Peter
 that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye
see him, as he said unto you. 
8
 And they went out quickly, and fled
from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said
they any thing to any 
man
; for they were afraid.
 
Mark 16:2-8 (KJV)
 
After the Resurrection

12
 Jesus said to them, 
"Come 
and
 have breakfast." 
None of the disciples ventured
to question Him, "Who are You?" knowing that it was the Lord. 
13
 Jesus came
and took the bread and gave 
it
 to them, and the fish likewise. 
14
 This is now the
third
 
time
 that 
Jesus
 was 
manifested
 to the 
disciples
, after He was 
raised
 from
the 
dead
.
Peter’s Restoration
15
 So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus *said to Simon Peter, 
"Simon, 
son
 of
John, 
do
 you 
love
 
Me
 more than these?" 
He *said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know
that I love You." He *said to him, 
"Tend My 
lambs
." 
16
 He *said to him again a
second time, 
"Simon, 
son
 of John, 
do
 you 
love
 
Me
?"
 He *said to Him, "Yes, Lord;
You know that I love You." He *said to him
, " Shepherd My 
sheep
." 
17
 He *said to
him the third time, 
"Simon, 
son
 of John, 
do
 you 
love
 
Me
?" 
Peter was grieved
because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him,
"Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus *said to him, 
" 
Tend
My 
sheep
 
John 21:12-17 (NASB)

 Though the 
Lord
 
be
 
high
, yet hath he 
respect
 unto the
lowly
: but the proud he knoweth afar off. 
7
 Though I walk in
the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch
forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy
right hand shall save me.
8
 The 
Lord
 will 
perfect
 
that which
 
concerneth
 me: thy mercy,
O 
Lord
, 
endureth
 for ever: 
forsake
 not the 
works
 of thine own
hands

Psalms 138:6-8 (KJV)

 For God's 
gifts
 and His 
call
 are 
irrevocable

[He never withdraws them when once they are
given, and He does not change His mind about
those to whom He gives His grace or to whom
He sends His call.]

11
 For I know the 
thoughts
 that I 
think
 toward 
you
, saith the
Lord
, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an
expected
 
end
. 
12
 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go
and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 
13
 And ye
shall seek me, and find 
me
, when ye shall search for me with
all your heart.
 
Jer 29:11-13 (KJV)
25
 Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw
near to God through Him, since He 
always
 
lives
 to make
intercession
 for 
them
.

  1. The Man in the Mirror Faith that Holds Apostle Daniel Peters

  2. The Man in the Mirror Faith that holds 22 But be doers of the Word [obey the message], and not merely listeners to it, betraying yourselves [into deception by reasoning contrary to the Truth]. 23 For if anyone only listens to the Word without obeying it and being a doer of it, he is like a man who looks carefully at his [own] natural face in a mirror; 24 For he thoughtfully observes himself, and then goes off and promptly forgets what he was like. James 1:22-24 (AMP)

  3. The Kingdom of Heaven 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. Matt 7:21-27 (KJV)

  4. The Veil Is Taken Away 16 But whenever a person turns [in repentance] to the Lord, the veil is stripped off and taken away. 18 And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit. 2 Cor 3:16-18 (AMP)

  5. Satan Has Desired You 31 "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat; 32 but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers." 33 But he said to Him, "Lord, with You I am ready to go both to prison and to death!" 34 And He said, "I say to you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me." Luke 22:31-34 (NASB)

  6. Peters Sifting 54 Having arrested Him, they led Him away and brought Him to the house of the high priest; but Peter was following at a distance. 55 After they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter was sitting among them. 56 And a servant-girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight and looking intently at him, said, "This man was with Him too." 57 But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know Him."58 A little later, another saw him and said, "You are one of them too!" But Peter said, "Man, I am not!" 59 After about an hour had passed, another man began to insist, saying, "Certainly this man also was with Him, for he is a Galilean too." 60 But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. 61 The Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him, " Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times." 62 And he went out and wept bitterly. Luke 22:54-62 (NASB)

  7. Go Tell Peter 2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. 3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? 4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. 5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. 6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. 7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. 8 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid. Mark 16:2-8 (KJV)

  8. After the Resurrection 12 Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples ventured to question Him, "Who are You?" knowing that it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish likewise. 14 This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead. Peter s Restoration 15 So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus *said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?" He *said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He *said to him, "Tend My lambs." 16 He *said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" He *said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He *said to him, " Shepherd My sheep." 17 He *said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus *said to him, " Tend My sheep John 21:12-17 (NASB)

  9. The Lord Will Perfect That Which Concerns You 6 Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off. 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. 8 The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands. Psalms 138:6-8 (KJV)

  10. Gifts and Callings 29 For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.] Romans 11:29 (AMP)

  11. Expected End 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Jer 29:11-13 (KJV) 25 Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. Heb 7:25 (NASB)

  12. That concludes todays message. May God Bless You and keep you. Apostle Dan & Pastor Debbie
