Victory Over Failure (5 of 6)
Series: YOU CAN HAVE VICTORY
Stan Coffey
Luke 5:1-11
Now one of the greatest lies ever perpetrated by Satan is that if you fail in certain areas of your life, that God is not going to be able t use you. That if you try and try and try to do the very best you can and that is not good enough that some how you are put on a shelf and you are just not worthy to be used of God.

In fact the story of Adam and Eve is the story of Adam and Eve who failed and who sinned against God. But failure was not final for Adam and Eve learned the plan of redemption. And they learned that in God there was another chance.

I think of Jonah who failed when he fled from the presence of the Lord to go down to Tarsus rather than going to Nineveh as God commanded. But Jonah was not a failure. He came back and preached the greatest revival in all of Biblical history.
I think of Sampson who failed when he allowed the devil to learn the secret of his great strength. And he got his hair cut in Delilah's barbershop. But Sampson was not a failure. He came back and destroyed more of the enemies of God in his death than in all of his life.
I think about David who failed when he committed the sin of adultery. And then the sin of murder to cover up his adultery. But David was not a failure. He came back to be the sweet singer of Israel, to write many of the Psalms in our Bible.
You see the Bible if it says anything tells us that failure is not fina ...
