twenty-four failures in twenty-four tries

• Matthew 53 - Blessed are the poor in spirit,
  for theirs is the kingdom of God
• Romans 39-12 - What then? Are we better than
  they? Not at all for we have already charged
  that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin 10
  as it is written,
• THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE
• 11 THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS,
• THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD
• 12 ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE
  BECOME USELESS
• THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD,
• THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE.
• Romans 724 - Wretched man that I am! Who will
  set me free from the body of this death?

Impact of Our Sin on God

• Genesis 66 - The LORD was sorry that He had made
  man on the earth, and He was grieved in His
  heart.
• 1 Sam. 203 Yet David vowed again, saying, Your
  father knows well that I have found favor in your
  sight, and he has said, Do not let Jonathan know
  this, or he will be grieved.
• 2 Sam. 191-4 - Davids grief over Absalom
• 1 Joab was told, "The king is weeping and
  mourning for Absalom." 2 And for the whole army
  the victory that day was turned into mourning,
  because on that day the troops heard it said,
  "The king is grieving for his son." 3 The men
  stole into the city that day as men steal in who
  are ashamed when they flee from battle. 4 The
  king covered his face and cried aloud, "O my son
  Absalom! O Absalom, my son, my son!"

REGENERATION OF HEART
raising the dead in me

• Ephesians 21 - And you were dead in your
  trespasses and sins 12 remember that you were
  at that time separate from Christ, excluded from
  the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the
  covenants of promise, having no hope and without
  God in the world.
• 24 - But God, because of His great love with
  which He loved us, even when we were dead in our
  trespasses, made us alive together with Christ.
• 213 But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly
  were far off have been brought near by the blood
  of Christ.

10
REGENERATION OF HEART
raising the dead in me

• Is. 5715 For thus says the high and exalted One
  Who lives forever, whose name is Holy, I dwell
  on a high and holy place, And also with the
  contrite and lowly of spirit In order to revive
  the spirit of the lowly And to revive the heart
  of the contrite.
• Is. 661   Thus says the LORD, Heaven is My
  throne and the earth is My footstool. Where then
  is a house you could build for Me? And where is a
  place that I may rest?
• 2 For My hand made all these things, Thus all
  these things came into being, declares the LORD.
  But to this one I will look, To him who is
  humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles
  at My word.

Jesus Kingdom Inversion

• 2 Cor. 127 Because of the surpassing greatness
  of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me
  from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn
  in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment
  meto keep me from exalting myself! 8 Concerning
  this I implored the Lord three times that it
  might leave me. 9 And He has said to me, My
  grace is sufficient for you, for power is
  perfected in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, I
  will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that
  the power of Christ may dwell in me. 10
  Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with
  insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with
  difficulties, for Christs sake for when I am
  weak, then I am strong.

• 2 Cor. 48 we are afflicted in every way, but not
  crushed perplexed, but not despairing 9
  persecuted, but not forsaken struck down, but
  not destroyed 10 always carrying about in the
  body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of
  Jesus also may be manifested in our body. 11 For
  we who live are constantly being delivered over
  to death for Jesus sake, so that the life of
  Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

• Hebrews 415-16 - For we do not have a high
  priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses,
  but One who has been tempted in all things as we
  are, yet without sin. 16 Therefore let us draw
  near with confidence to the throne of grace, so
  that we may receive mercy and find grace to help
  in time of need.
