How to get past your Failures?

2 Samuel 12: 1-25

How do we get past our failures?

Fess up (Confess Sin)

Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. James 4:16

Confession of your sins brings you to repentance and repentance release you to move to the next step.

Get up (Make a Decision)

* David realized sitting in his mourning and self-pity gets him no where.
* God is a NOW God and he had to move with HIM.

John 5:6-8 Do you want to get well. Get up! 
Healing precedes action.

Wash up (Soak in the Word)

When you need refreshed, you go read a little devotion and think that is going to do the trick.

Jn 15:3 You are already clean because of the Word which I have spoken
Jn 17:17 Sanctify them in the Truth: your Word is Truth.

David also put on lotion represents putting on the anointing, the aroma of the spirit.

Changed up (Attitude, Actions)

Zech 3: 3-6 “Take off his filthy clothes.” Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put rich garments on you.”

Looked Up (worship)

When you are washed in the word. Soak in the anointing. Your focus is no longer self, (woe is me), rather it is in worship of Your God, and looking forward.

David got past his failures to become a man after Gods own heart.

Don’t give up on yourself because you failed. God didn’t.

“The danger is not that we should fall, but that we should remain on the ground.”
