Apostle Peter

Peter was a complicated man-there is no doubt about it. One moment, he seemed to be full of faith, and the next, an unbelieving liar, such as was the case when he denied knowing Jesus on three occasions.

"Just a minute," you might say. "That denial occurred before Peter was filled with the Holy Ghost. After that, he was a powerful man of God."

Okay, if being full of the Holy Ghost would have prevented Peter from failing the Lord, what about the time he failed miserably when he got up from eating with Gentile believers after hearing that Jewish believers were on the way to where he was. In this case, the Apostle Paul had to set him straight.

One profound lesson we can learn from the Apostle Peter, is that as a Spirit-filled believer, he suffered and dealt with human weaknesses just like the rest of us.
