NEEDED RESTORATION :: PETER’S DOWNWARD DRIFT

1. Lack Of Prayer

And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour? 41 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” – Matthew 26:40-41

2. Action Without Direction

And behold, one of those who were with Jesus [Peter] stretched out his hand and drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear. – Matthew 26:51

3. Distant Discipleship

And Peter was following him [Jesus] at a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and going inside he sat with the guards to see the end. – Matthew 26:58

4. Drawn To The Enemy’s Fire

And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them. – Luke 22:55

5. Denying Your Faith

And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.” – Luke 22:61

STEPS TO RESTORATION

Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No.” 6 He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish. – John 21:5-6

1. Remember Jesus Is Lord

That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea. – John 21:7

2. Draw Close To Jesus

When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” – John 21:9-10
