Summary: All of us at one time or another have fallen, had a setback or an emotional battle. It can either make you bitter or better, the choice is yours. I say it is time to bounce back. The team may have suffered some minor setbacks but we are going to bounce
Peter bounced back after denying Christ. In Acts 2we know that Peter bounced back because he was in the upper room and was filled with the Holy Ghost and fire. By verse 14 we see that because
Peter bounced back it brought BOLDness.
He stands up in verse 14 and begins to preach. His preaching brought 3000 to Christ that day. What if he had quit on God? What if he never bounced back after denying Jesus? Souls were at stake. He had to bounce back. (MARCUS to Organ)
Come on lets quit quitting on God, bounce back. You think you are on your way down, tell the devil he is a liar and you’re bouncing back. Reverse this thing on the devil. (MINI TRAMP) Tell the devil to watch out and start bouncing back. The more you bounce back the higher you will go. You are going up not down. You are springing forward toward your future not backward. You are launching into your destiny not loafing in your past.
Tell the devil enough is enough, I am the head and not the tail I am going over not under I am pressing toward the mark of the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus. I am sick of being sick I am tired of being tired. I’ve been broke long enough, I have been depressed and discouraged long enough. I have been in my last bad relationship. Devil, I won’t allow you to cause me to deny God’s power any longer, I am no longer in bondage to the bottle I don’t have a need for the nicotine any longer. The power of pornography is not going to hold me back any longer.
I AM BOUNCING BACK. I AM BOUNCING BACK> I AM BOUNCING BACK>
BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE
I am being propelled into my promotion; I am springing forward to my destiny. I am going higher higher, higher with the LORD!! I’m reversing this thing on the devil. I am not going down I am going up because I am Bouncing Back.
