Young & Free Part Two: Mistakes, Pastor Greg Cultra

1. Mistakes can happen when we are prideful.

---- Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. (Proverbs 16:18 NIV) ----

2. Mistakes happen when you don't listen to Godly council.

---- The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice. (Proverbs 12:15 NIV) ----

---- Achan replied, “It is true! I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel. This is what I have done: When I saw in the plunder a beautiful robe from Babylonia, two hundred shekels of silver and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath.” (Joshua 7:20, 21 NIV) ----

3. Mistakes happen when you forget about the consequences.

It's so easy to do whatever we want. There will be a point in our life that will be easy or doing what is right. They are opposites and it is hard. We don't think about consequences.

The cool thing? When we do the right thing, we get the consequences from those things which are often called blessings.

The coverup is sometimes worse than the actual crime. Come clean on mistakes. If you do something dumb, come CLEAN ASAP!

4. Mistakes often keep us from our future.

God doesn't see you as a mistake. He doesn't do that. He realizes we made a mistake and wants us to go back to Him. That is the exact opposite of what our human nature does.

If you allow a mistake to define your future, that mistake is bigger than you as a person and follower of Christ.

5. Mistakes only become failures when we accept them.

The enemy wants you in this rut. The enemy wants to define you by the mistake(s) you've made. That is what Satan wants. Jesus doesn't want a mistake to become a failure. A mistake is a mistake. He forgives. It's not a failure because we can get beyond them. We are not that mistake. We aren't defined by it. God doesn't make mistakes.

We are all going to make mistakes. Our future can be brand-new, clean slate. With Jesus, the past is the past and we get a blank page to start writing who we are.

Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light. (Micah 7:8 NIV)

"Jesus ignores our foolishness and chooses instead to delight in us. He delights in our hearts, despite our shame, because He sees out identity in Him. He sees ht we have committed ourselves to Him, however weak that commitment may be. He sees that we understand, deep down, that we are nothing apart from Him, and He sees a people with whom He can work. He sees that we desire to make Him happy, and He receives that as love." -The Father's Heart (Zack)
