Ezekiel 36:25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. 26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. 28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. 29 I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you. 30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen. 31 Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. 32 Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways... 33 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded.
Psalms 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. 27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for ever.
The Greek word used here for a Good man is Ghehber: means a valiant man, a warrior, a mighty man, everyone?
The Greek word used here for ordered is Koon: Which Means ordained, established, fixed. To stand perpendicular, upright.
Psalms 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
( Read ) MATT 26:31-35, 69-75 PETERS FAILURE contrasted with Judas failure..
Matthew 27:3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. 5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
Did anybody notice that Both of these individuals repented for what they had done. However the Greek word used for repentance in each of these incidents is different. For Peter the word used is Metanoia meaning a Godly sorrow. For Judas the word used is Metamellomai a different word than is normally used for true repentance. Here it implies to regret, it does not necessarily denote a change of heart for better. But rather just a change of views or feelings, or outlook. And the verb form is in the 1st Aorist passive ) signifying something like non active participation. According to some bible scholars Judas repentance was not true, he only regretted that it didn’t work out as he planned? Remember many of the Jews were expecting Jesus to bring in a physical kingdom where he would reign with the Jews
over the gentile peoples thus over throwing the yoke of Roman bondage. Judas was just trying to hurry the program up and jockey himself for position as chief treasurer? And though he didn’t really think he would do Jesus any harm, Judas thinking Jesus would just over come the Romans and established his kingdom. His priorities were miss guided and mixed. All about the money. And that’s what he regretted.
Notice the word used in the Greek for condemned is Katakrino meaning to be damned. So when Judas saw he(?) was damned he changed his views but not his heart? But he did repent after all didn’t he?
In other words the cure to failure is REPENTANCE! But how and who they went to in repentance is what made the difference. Judas refused to go to Jesus in repentance, why? Judas like many others had given up on himself as unforgivable, and as beyond hope and redemption.
Just remember anytime you fail or fall “God is faithful and just to forgive if we confess”
SOME POINTS ABOUT FAILURE: Failure is not final! Failure is just a stepping stone, an illusion, a matter of perspective. When we fail or fall. We should take an introspective look at ourselves, our friendships and our lifestyles. Do we do and desire the things that bring glory to God? That edify God? That bless his people?
Failure does not have to hold you back or destroy you. Proverbs 24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. The number Seven in biblical typology represents completion or wholeness. So in other words when we fall and make mistakes God is at work in our lives and is perfecting us through our mistakes and failures.. So unfortunately Until the coming of the Lord we will continue to fall. Just get back up!
Failure can result due to lack of relationship. Jude 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, 21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. When we lack personal and intimate communion with God. We lack insight and direction, we become powerless against the lies and devices of the enemy. Our perspective is flawed, our motives impure, thus failure the consequence.
Failure can be due to selfishness and lack of compassion? Jude 1:22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Is your heart where it needs to be? your motives? Do you even care about the loss? the hurting? the Fatherless? The sick? When we are so concerned about self we forget others. We forget about sacrifice, we forget Gods heartbeat. We should realize to lack compassion is to become self centered and selfish and when we do that. We allow flesh to dictate and control our actions and concerns and again the end result is failure. Lets follow this with a scripture:
Micah 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
Failure is not eternal but hell is! In other words failure does not dictate your destiny, faith does! Jude 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,” You have to believe in Gods mercy, justice and GRACE. “ for it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” He is able to keep you. .For faithful is he who hath called you who also will do it”
Some people believe a lie. They conclude with a lot of help form the devil, That they will never be able to live for God. That they will always make mistakes and fall? And so they conclude I just can’t do it. Its to hard. Yeah if you live for God easy it will be hard. But if you give it your all and live hard for Jesus. You will not only conquer but overcome. Still many claim they just cant stop failing, Well they are right to some extent? Truth is we are imperfect human beings who are subject to failure and falling. But never should we forget that God is our merciful God and faithful father. And he will forgive and even restore us, reconcile us and renew us! If we come to him in sincerity and repentance.
Look at that scripture again. “ for it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” It is God not self, not Satan, not your Mommy and Daddy, Not your heart, But God almighty who works in us to do right! If we let him, That’s just it how can we let God lead us, guide us, direct us, empower us, moves us? If we refused to know him or his word, we hardly ever pray, ever read his word, ever try to reach out to the loss. There is a place in God that you cannot only hide in but a place where you can find strength to overcome, and wisdom to see thru the lies of the enemy. . He God will empower you! The key is to find the secret place...Hint, Hint under the shadow?
