 Title of my message isn't be called fail like Peter and no I'm not giving you an excuse to go out and fail and blame it on me But that is the title of my message and I'm gonna be going from Joshua 1 8 and it says this book of the law Shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate it Meditate in a day and night that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it for then you will make your way Prosperous and then you will have good success someone turn to your neighbor and say good success So you realize the Bible didn't just say and you will make Success you got to realize that there's if there if there's black there's White and if there's good there's bad so there's bad success and I'm be speaking to you guys from the Bible to characters from the Bible apostle Peter and Judas and we know both of them were part of the twelve disciples Jesus friend and see there's Peter failed a lot and but Judas he succeeded in many things But in the thing he succeeded is he he betrayed Jesus and it was a success He did something that no one else could do, but it was a bad success. So I'm gonna bring to you guys Good success and bad success and three things that may use it Judas's success a bad success is one he overpride He overpaid for it. How many you guys overpaid for something and then you you overpaid for it And you're like man I don't like this thing anymore because someone else got it for a cheaper price and I'm getting it here I paid a whole bunch of money and when I was like eight nine years old I asked my mom for or my parents for a BMX bike I found this BMX bike on Craigslist and Because I used to bike with my friends a lot and I paid my my parents paid a lot of money for it And I got it and then I drove it around with my friends and my other friend had the same BMX bike But for like third third of the price and I was like are you kidding me? I was like I paid now. I didn't look at the BMX bike like no I could fly on that thing I just looked at it like it's like every other bike. So things that you overpay for You you end up despising and the thing is success that is overpriced is Something that you cannot enjoy and Judas succeeded on betraying Jesus or put it on the cross see he He did the Pharisees even tried to put Jesus on the cross They tried it they try to do it so many times But they would always come back to the council and they'll tell the council Dang, I he missed this time or he changed his talk. I wasn't able to get it He he went between our feet. We couldn't get it, but Jesus fine But Judas was able to betray Jesus and But the price the thing the what what bad success the first thing bad success will get you is if it's overpriced Jesus of Judas succeeded in getting Jesus of Jesus on the cross But the price he had to pay was much more than what he got He was able to he was a he succeeded. It was a it was a success But the price he paid for that success cost him Jesus and eventually his own life and See any success that costs your integrity is a bad success Any success that causes your family your health your career your Morals your purity that is success from Satan that is called a satanic success and sooner or later You might be know it's not but sooner or later God Satan will give to you with his right but eventually will take from his left sooner or later bad success It always success that you have to lose your family your your integrity what you live for your faith sooner or later my friend Satan is behind that success and See when Jesus came on this earth he Satan offered him a Satan offered him so much and that he said You could have all this land you could have all the riches everything as long as one thing as long as you bow down And you worship me and Jesus like and don't get me wrong with Satan offered Jesus was very good Everybody and you don't think Jesus wanted everything that Satan was offering everybody would want that land But the price did not match the product see the thing is yeah You got all that but the price to bow down and worship him Jesus like you're tripping Satan I'm not gonna sacrifice worshiping my father and get all this that the my God already promised me in Jesus my team. Amen See this thing Satan's always gonna everything Satan offers you is overpriced eventually it might seem like oh man I'm getting a good good price on that. I feel like this product is good I don't have to pay much but eventually God see the thing is what Satan does He gives what you're right and he takes away what you're left with you what your life most depends on it So you might see that the everything Satan offers is overpriced and So the second point is The second thing that Judas what made Judas six success a bad success is the source behind it See we see a lot of a lot of shootings a lot of things a lot of killings That's going on in our in our nation in our in America and we think that's all we know That's all sponsored by Satan. That's because Satan is behind it But we don't know is there's some success that Satan is behind also He tries to give success so that when he gives it you might be like yeah Yeah, I like this and then eventually like I said he gives what you write and he takes away what you left So my many you guys might think so what what's a godly success? What's a good success one is it overpriced and to what is the source behind it? Is it God or is it Satan and three the destination? See most success you would think most success ends in happiness. No, you like it like it's on a Friday The statistics says that happiness goes up like 10% on a Friday Why because one the weekends the next day and and you get most people get paid see Judas was getting paid his 30 shackles. He got it. He's supposed to be happy He succeeded in the thing, but the Bible says once he got the money He was in remorse. Why because when success comes at the cost of your faith the cost of your relationship with your family or Coming against your standards or your purity that success is success from Satan. Amen, and the thing is the thing is The Satan offered him he got what he wanted but when he got what he wanted the Bible said he He got it and he threw the shackles on the floor. He said this is not what I wanted This is not what I thought I got when I got success. Amen, and The thing is when we when we think success brings it happiness It does but only if it didn't come at the cost of our faith only if it didn't come the cost of us losing our relationship with Christ and When you sacrifice your when you sacrifice your health your family relationship with God and that's exactly what Judas is That's exactly what Judas betrayed him Judas He said he succeeded, but it wasn't the success of me and you want because it came across of of his relationship with Jesus Christ and eventually his own life because what when he got the shackles the Bible said he Ripped off his clothes. He threw the shackles on the ground and he said this is not what I wanted when I meant success This is what not what I wanted when I meant and when I sacrificed what success and then he went and hung himself See every success that ends in a suicide is one. It's overpriced. It's from Satan and it'll always live Always end up into a Christless eternity. That is not a success that me and you want So if you reach the top of the world, but God is not behind it eventually It will kill you because Judas got what he wanted, but eventually it killed him It was a success. Don't get me wrong, but eventually it killed him and sent him and betrayed him in Jesus and The last thing I want to bring to you guys is My fourth point is failures are not final See we see Peter we see Peter failing many times. He goes into fishing and he never catches any fish He he cuts a girl's ear off Which I don't know why you would cut a girl's ear off and then Jesus just has to like Put the ear back on I don't know how he put a ear back on but he put a ear back on and then eventually he goes back It goes back into fishing and he fails into fishing again and then after that he goes and denies Jesus three times and But Judas you see look at Judas live and he succeeded so many times But still at the end of success he you see he comes out better than Peter Why because even throw even though Peter failed so many times even though Peter denied Jesus so many times God was still able to take those mistakes take those failures and turn them into what we know today as apostle Paul and Catholics say that he was the first pope. Amen. So my my fourth point is His failures are not final Your failure is just like Peter He went through so much your failures don't have to be what determines your life Your failures don't have to be what what you what you are Your failures are not final decision in your life the God the promises that God has in his word are the final decision of your life And I feel like a lot of people in this room their failures are determining who they are Their failures in their family they're past mistakes. Don't get me wrong. Your mistakes are true You did mess up you did you did slip up you did do something at a young age And now you have to live with with for the rest of your life, but your failures are not fatal Your failures are not who you are. They are just events See and you see in the Bible Peter failed so many times and the thing why I love when you fail But you're with God just like just like Joseph He went from a prison, but when you fail with God you always somehow you end up in a palace Or you end up like or like when you're like Job every single time you fail you end up you you had abs You have absolutely nothing everything is taken away from you But somehow you end up with more than you've ever had or you end up like Peter You deny Jesus three times, but the same mouth that the night Jesus three is three times with the same mouth That saves three thousand people your failures are not who you are. They are just events. Amen See God doesn't want you God doesn't want you to look like Sergei said God doesn't want you to look at the sin He wants to look at your at the son that he paid the crowd the price for your sins for your failures So that you can live a blessed life Not that so you can live a life where you live and you dwell in your past mistakes That is not why God sent your son would send his son to die on the cross He knew you're gonna sin he didn't he didn't think he didn't die on the cross and pay for your sins up to 17 years old up to 20 years old He knew you're gonna sin at 20 you're gonna keep on sinning But that's why I died on the cross so that you could live a blessed life not a life living in your past mistakes and declaring That's who you are See, I love what our worship leader Malachi always says said Jesus came for it all or he came for nothing at all He came for all your sins not just till 17 years old, but he came for everything He knew that you're gonna slip up you're gonna mess up But that's why he said in the word a righteous man fall seven times, but he gets back up That's why we need to fail like Peter we fail But we go straight back to God and God is somehow gonna be able to take the mess in our lives I'll pass mistakes I'll pass failures and God is some gonna some way He's gonna be able to make you into something you never dreamed about That's why we sing when we sing we say you made a way where there was no way I don't know why I don't know how but you made a way and all you have to say is thank you God Thank you that I don't have to live on my past mistakes I don't have to live on my failures, but I can live in the future I'd have to live I can live in the but you know in the promises that you give for me not in my past mistakes That is why God has his promises for our life. So that when we mess up we can look in the word and say I'm still a Child in the most high God. I'm a still a royal priest. I'm still I'm still wherever I I step I'll be blessed in Jesus my mighty name. So I just want to encourage you guys fail like Peter when you fail Go back to God. Let God be your path. Let God be your backup Let God be where you go to right away. You don't go straight back to drugs You don't have to go straight back Back into your old life don't let the the labels the world has put upon your life Determine who you are just because you messed up just because you did something at a young age That is not who you are what God's word says is who you are We don't live by the standard of the word but of the world But we make the world the standard of our life what God has to say about our lives in Jesus mighty name amen Amen.
