Sermon Notes
All have fallen and get down from time to time, but it is unacceptable to stay down. No matter your circumstances, there is victory in Jesus. It’s time to get up!
Key Scriptures:
Micah 7:8; John 10:11; Isaiah 10:27; Judges 16:21-30; Proverbs 24:16; Judges 15:4; I Chronicles 11:22
Key Points:
- You can do what the devil can’t do. The devil fell down and can’t get back up, but you don’t have to stay there like he did. The devil may try to celebrate when you fall, but you’re going to get back up.
- Get back on your feet. When a sheep gets too much wool, it can fall and not get back up. When it’s on its back, it’s vulnerable to disease and predators. But it’s the job of a shepherd to shear the sheep and keep them on their feet. God may shear some things off your life, but it’s to get you back on your feet! Get your faith feet back!
- Don’t die in defeat. Satan wants to bind, blind, and bewilder you. The devil will tell you to die in defeat, but God wants you to get up and live. Even if you mess up and lose your vision, God will be a light to you.
- Don’t belittle the next generation. Young people don’t want to be a part of a visionless, missionless church. It’s time for young people to lead worship, preach, and guide others into holiness.
- The next generation needs to be caught, tied, set on fire, and released. Catch the next generation with vision. Tie them to prayer, God’s house, and reading the Bible. Set them on fire with the Holy Ghost. Release the next generation into the harvest field of the world.
- Even in your lowest and coldest moment, get up! You may be at the lowest and coldest place in your life, and you don’t see God anywhere. It’s easy to quit, but God is telling you to get up. Don’t throw yourself a pity party. Get back up, and God will stand up with you.
Final Thoughts:
Don’t make excuses or justify staying down. The pain may be real, but it’s not the end. You may be blind, bound, and bewildered, but God still has a plan for you. God has His hand on your life, and it’s time to get up.
