RISE AGAIN | God Turns Setbacks Into Comebacks - Inspirational & Motivational Video

there's a wonderful scripture in Proverbs that's helped me a lot and it says this Proverbs 24:16 it says the righteous person falls or fails seven times and rises again the perfect the the person that's close to God the the righteous person the holy person you know Falls fails seven times that's a multiplicity of times but he rises again in other words it's okay to fail it's okay to to have this fear of failure but you know we will rise again imagine if it said the stupid person or the idiot falls seven times okay it doesn't

say that it says the holy person the righteous person the person that's close to God Falls or fails seven times but rises again so that's a that's a wonderful promise so maybe you've fallen down maybe you're not happy where you are in life may maybe you have all of these regrets and say oh yes I I deserve it you know look I'm in this dead end life nothing's working out for me but it says that you will rise again okay in fact I think our dreams are always on the other side of our failures when

and if you fail Jesus right hand still holy is adequate to save though the righteous man falls seven times the Lord will uphold him there is no mistake you can make that puts you outside of the grace the strength and sufficiency of jesus' right hand 7th chapter of Micah verse number 8 Rejoice not against me oh my enemy when I fall I shall arise when I sit in darkness the Lord shall be a light unto me Proverbs 24:16 for a just man falleth seven times and riseth up again but even a just man fth seven

times not a wicked man a just man not someone who's not trying but someone who's giving it their all this this life is just more than I can handle properly I'm telling you this this life is a constant reminder that I can't stand unless God upholds me amen but the passages we read this morning they don't have to do with not falling they don't even have to do with falling they have to do with what will become of you after you fall what will become of me after I fall it's not a question of will

you fall it's not a question of will your faith be shaken it's not a question of will you make some mistakes in your life the question is will you allow God to work in your life after you fall as surely as you allowed him to work in your life when you thought you would never fall yeah will you allow God to take what has been broken and and mend that thing will you allow God to take your failure and turn it into into Victory or will it be the end of you and your testimony and

your and your Christian walk in the Micah passage look at that again when I fall I shall arise it I I know don't find any option for not falling but I do find an option after one has fallen to get up or stay down Micah says when I fall I shall arise when I sit in darkness the Lord shall be a light unto me it might be emotional Darkness might be physical Darkness it might be spiritual Darkness it might be self-imposed Darkness it might be a circumstance Beyond your control in which you find yourself but

there will be dark days in your life be dark seasons in your life what I want to know is will the Lord be a light unto you so many people so many people make their boast in the Lord on the Mountaintop and forget all about him in the valley praise the Lord Jesus Christ when the sun is shining and then enter into despair when the sun sets this man said there is a light that drives out the darkness in my life he didn't say there'd be no darkness in my life he said I have a

light Mah said Rejoice not over me my enemies when I fall for I shall arise he wasn't complaining about the trouble he wasn't discouraged over being knocked down he understood this principle that there was bounceback in his spirit in the middle of the difficulty he was speaking Victory if you're going to come out of that challenge you have to do like Micah this problem didn't come to stay it came to pass God being for me is more than the world being against me I shall arise Proverbs says a good person falls 7even times but they

Rise Again get your fire back get your passion back nothing you've done is too much for the mercy of God he knew every mistake we would ever make he's already taken them into account he has a plan even for the Times where we've missed it you may be down but that is not your final destination God is saying get ready to rise the question is when you going to get up when are you going to get up but I want you to understand that falling is a part of learning to walk what child learns how

to stand without falling when a a child first pulls themselves up on furniture and when they are able to stand the the first thing that they do they they just start standing and this it's a real unstable kind of a stance they they start like a almost like a a Weeble wobble but they don't fall down but they they they're sort of Staggering almost like a drunk person and then they this all of a sudden just collapse and fall to the ground it's a part of their learning to stand and until you learn how to

stand you can't learn how to walk I need a Grace until I've learned to stand stably and then take a few steps and then fall it's a part of the learning process of how God teaches us and grows us and develops us Proverbs 24: 16 says that the Godly May trip seven times or fall seven seven times but they will get up again but no one but one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked you see but God helps us that The Godly may fall seven times seven times but they'll get back up again we

get back up we fall but we get back up how many you got children when your children were babies they crawled around and then one day miraculously for the first time ever they stood up on their own two feet what was the exact next thing they did fell down but not one of you said oh stay there baby did you what did you say get up come to Mommy come to Daddy and baby get up and fall down he say do it again and take a few steps get up and fall down and you said

do it again now sometime the baby fell on their backsides but sometime the baby fell on their face and you not only allowed them to fall on their face you encouraged them to do it again cuz you knew if they never fell and got up they never learned how to walk they never fell and got up they never learned how to run they never fell and got up they never learned how to maximize their potential but some of us in this room today have fallen down or we've been knocked down and life has not been

fair and we've stayed in that down position and I'm saying to you today it's time to get up and fly like you were born to fly a setback is nothing but a set up for a comeback this could be the start of your comeback that no matter how bad it looks we're never out of the race that somehow an even hopeless situation can turn around this could be the start of your comeback because God is the true author of The Comeback story he's the God who can flip the script he's the God who can change

things up he's the God who can take you from feeling to defeated and bring you to victory because time and again what we've seen in the Bible is that God does not give up on us we may give up on ourselves we may feel like quitting but God doesn't quit on us and you know what when we come back to him we find that God's right there waiting for us and in reality much closer than we thought but you got to remember with God there's always hope he wants to write a new ending to your

story even if you feel hopeless even if you feel like you're in a place where you can't see God he's coming after you because he wants to write a new ending to your story that's not about defeat that's not about failure but it's about Victory and it's a victory that comes when you simply come back to him when you return to him and listen and realize that he's there waiting for you he wants you then all of a sudden you realize that there's hope because I'm telling you the truth you are never too defeated you're

never too broken you're never too lost and you're never too far away to come back to Christ and you're never too in that position where you're too deep to not be brought to a Victorious ending I don't know where you sit right now I don't know what what failure or what Devastation I don't know what has happened in your life that has created a sense of hopelessness that's created a sense of fear but what I do know is that we serve a God who can take your moment of deepest hopelessness of deepest failure of deepest

disaster and he can turn it into your greatest Victory he is the god of the comeback despite your failure your comeback story could be right in front of you and it could be huge could be huge [Music]
