“OVERCOMING FAILURE AND DISAPPOINTMENT”

 

  1. God wants us to know that failure is not final.

 

Jeremiah 29:11-14 (NLT)

 

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. 14 I will be found by you,” says the Lord. “I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your own land.”

 

 

         Revelation 12:10-11 (NKJV)

 

10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

 

 

Woman with the “Issue of Blood (12 years)

 

  Matthew 9:18-22 (NLT)

 

18 As Jesus was saying this, the leader of a synagogue came and knelt before him. “My daughter has just died,” he said, “but you can bring her back to life again if you just come and lay your hand on her.”

19 So Jesus and his disciples got up and went with him. 20 Just then a woman who had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding came up behind him. She touched the fringe of his robe, 21 for she thought, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.”

22 Jesus turned around, and when he saw her he said, “Daughter, be encouraged! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was healed at that moment.

***Touching our failures do not change God’s perfection; His perfection changes our failures.

 

  1. God wants us to know that our failures do not define us.

                                       Key Points: 

  1. Our identity comes from God in Christ. God’s approval is given and not earned.

 

  1. Being comes before doing

 

           Romans 5:8 (NLT)

 

But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

 

  • Refuse to hold on to failure and the pain that comes with it.

 

             Philippians 3:12-14 (NLT)

 

12 I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. 13 No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it,[abut I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.

 

  1. Jesus redeems all of our failures.

 

    ****The worth of something is revealed by what is being sacrificed to obtain it.
