You�ve Fallen�Just Yous Tin can Get Upwards!
Luke 22:54-62
INTRODUCTION:
Faith Healer: on platform at coliseum, said, I have religion that 2 people volition be healed�where are you? A man ran down the alley, named Harry [w/ lisp]. Asked what his ailment was, he replied, I can�t talk wite [right]. He was instructed to get backside a curtain. Some other man hobbled down on crutches, named Frank. He said, I oasis�t walked in 20 years westward/out crutches. He was told to go behind the curtain w/ Harry�and so the healer said Frank, you lot�ve been healed, slide those crutches out nether mantle ane at a fourth dimension. They appeared, and the place came unglued. The healer held up those crutches and broke them over his knee joint�all cheered! Then he declared Harry to exist healed and said: �Harry, the next sentence you lot speak will be the first y'all�ve ever said normally�conductor, take him a mic. What would you like to say? Then everyone heard the words, �Fwank cruel down!�
Have you ever fallen down spiritually while running this race / been tripped upwardly by the devil?
Yous�re not a failure because you autumn�but if you don�t get back up If y'all get upwards simply once more than you fall so you�re a success!
Proverbs 24:16
For a just man falleth vii times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
What would you retrieve of a preacher who would curse and swear in front end of one of the teenagers?
Peter did just that�and denied the Lord, but in spite of it all, God gave Him a new beginning and Peter learned how to fail forward! [read text]
1. Failure doesn�t have to exist a hitching post; it tin can be a guide post
Nosotros can learn from failures and sins! God has a way of bringing good out of bad!
Some take low cocky esteem and think God sees them as a composite of all their failures�but not and then!
Ill.--My dad doesn�t introduce me equally Jerry, my son who drained the transmission fluid and filled up the oil�though I did! Or�
Jerry, my son who�stole truck and went to Iowa [at 15!]
�rode motorcycle w/ no shirt and striking bumblebee at fifty mph! [Yes, that stings!]
My earthly father has no demand for such memories�and my heavenly male parent has no need for such either!
When God forgives, He forgets [as far as e from west!]
Not to say there�s no consequences, but from a judgmental perspective...God doesn�t hold them against u.s.!
2. If nosotros fail God, information technology will probably be at a point of our greatest force
Peter�southward greatest force was his backbone!
We criticize Peter for taking his eyes off the Lord on the sea of Galilee and outset to sink�only at least he got out of the boat!
When they came to arrest Jesus, Peter pulled out his sword to defend him/tried to accept off ane of their heads!
This large, burly fisherman, however, cowered downwardly before a teenage girl�in the area of his greatest strength!
Other examples:
Moses
Bible says he was the meekest among men [meekness: strength under control] But what did he practice? He lost control of his emotions and killed an Egyptian/later smote rock twice!
Abraham
He is called the begetter of faith�but he left Canaan and went into Egypt , and lied about Sarah his married woman, because he didn�t have enough religion that God would protect him�he failed in his area of strength!
David
A picture show of purity/apple of God�s heart/man later on God�southward own heart�but he committed adultery/failed in his area of strength!
None of these failed in their weakness, just in their strength�because we all accept a trend to leave our strengths unguarded!
An unguarded strength is a double weakness!
Paul said (II Cor. 12:ten), when I am weak, them am I strong! [for then I�g depending on the Lord, and not myself!]
[Prov. 16:xviii says that pride goes before destruction / The NT echoes in I Cor. 10:12, �let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall]
v. 33 we can admire Peter�due south statement at showtime glance, only there�s a divergence betwixt saying I tin can do all things thru Christ , or merely I can do all things!
*The boastful man is tempting the devil to tempt him.
3. Before nosotros sin, the devil is a tempter; after we sin, the devil is an accuser
Before we sin, he says, get ahead, no one volition know, yous can go abroad west/ it�
�later he says, y'all�ll never get abroad west/ it/you�ve blown information technology�you might equally well non even try to serve God!
Satan�s goal is non but for you to fall, just for you to stay downwardly�and then permit�southward larn how to fail forward!
iii Wonderful Truths
I. Fifty-fifty when nosotros fail, God is nevertheless sovereign
Sovereign means �in control�.
(Luke 22:60) The rooster crowing is a testimony that God was however in control/the Lord close the beaks of hundreds of roosters until the precise moment of the 3rd denial!
v. 61 right at present Peter is at his worst/everyman/failing/falling/out of control, just he�s got a message from the Lord, �I�m still in control!�
Ii Timothy 2:13 �If we believe not yet he abideth faithful��
We often fail God, but He never fails us/ofttimes I�m not faithful to Him, but Slap-up is His Faithfulness!/I�m not so great�but �How Bang-up Thou Fine art!�
To acquire to fail forward, we must retrieve that even when we despair and experience out of command, God is still in control�He�southward nonetheless sovereign!
And when Rom. 8:28 says all things work together for good�that includes our failures!
�Pick upwardly the cleaved pieces, and bring them to the Lord/trust in His holy Give-and-take/He will put them back together and make your life complete/just place the cleaved pieces at the Savior�due south feet!�
You may feel similar yous�ve diddled it, and perhaps yous accept!�only no thing what you�ve done�God all the same has a wonderful plan for your life! How do I know that? You lot�re nonetheless animate!
II. When we fail, God is sympathetic (Luke 22:61)
The moment Peter denied, he turned and saw the Lord, and their eyes met!
It wasn�t a look of thwarting or anger�information technology was a look of dearest!
*God is not changing the states so He can dear us; He
loves us and, therefore, He is changing united states of america .
*God does not love the states because we are valuable; nosotros are valuable because He loves the states!
GOD LOVES YOU JUST Equally YOU ARE � AND HE LOVES Y'all TOO MUCH TO Go out YOU THAT Mode!
[unconditional dear we should also have to OUR children, and thus we railroad train and subject area them]
Psalms 103:14 �For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that nosotros are dust.�
[that�s unconditional dear]
His grace is not a license to sin�and anyone who views it that manner is not truly saved! But information technology�s so skillful to know that when we fall�He is sympathetic�He is sovereign�
Ill.�couple named the York�s/Parker and Flossie/upwardly in years, Flossie got Alzheimer�due south, gradually, but eventually she was completely incoherent�nil she said fabricated sense/Mr. York later recounted how he had to do everything for her: feed, bathe, diaper, etc./one 24-hour interval, sitting in their living room, she miraculously stepped out of her illness for a moment and looked at him and said, �do you want me?�
He said �it broke my middle! I ran to her and said, O, of course I want y'all�the greatest privilege of my life is caring for you!� Then she smiled�and just as rapidly as she stepped out of her disease she slipped back in�
I think that sometimes we feel that way subsequently declining God/we�re almost embarrassed to get to Him in prayer/inquire for forgiveness for that same old sin again!/and the devil causes united states to look to heaven and wonder, God, exercise you even want me?
Good news: He wants you lot! He�southward there all the time, waiting patiently in line! He�southward sovereign and tin can brand lemonade out of lemons similar u.s.a.�and when we neglect, He�s sympathetic!
Iii. Even when we fail, we are secure
Aren�t you glad your salvation doesn�t depend upon Y'all? If you lot�ve been born again, y'all are forever changed�You are prophylactic and secure in His Mighty Easily!
5. 31-32
Explain the sifting process: chaff remains in sifter, wheat falls thru/Satan, the accuser, wanted Peter to autumn, and so he could throw the chaff in God�southward face!
[�desired� to have yous=asked permission�Satan has to ask!]
Satan wanted to sift Peter to condemn him�Jesus allowed the sifting in order to cleanse Peter.
Jesus too knew there was some crust/and that Peter would never deal w/ it until he became aware of it�so He allowed information technology!
Satan had a malevolent motive/Jesus a benevolent!
And so, Jesus used the devil�southward tool--to assistance Peter!
[But like David used Goliath�due south own sword to cut off his head!]
Jesus isn�t concentrating on the chaff in your life�He sees the wheat�and He wants to cleanse yous!
3 things Jesus knew nigh Peter:
i.Failure
2. Faith
three. Future
Peter, y'all�ve diddled it big time, but I�thou gonna help you up, and yous�re gonna exist stronger for it�and believe it or non, you lot�re gonna preach and 3,000 become saved�you�re gonna write function of the Bible, you�re gonna voluntarily exist crucified for me upside down!
Maybe yous�ve failed�who hasn�t? Or fallen? Get dorsum upwards�simply don�t fail to exist saved!
Christians: tin can you lot see the sovereign Lord behind your struggles? He�due south sympathetic�and you�re secure!
You�ve Fallen�But You Can Get Up!
