1) God keeps His .  

Romans 10:13 (NLT)

13 For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Mark 16:17–18 (NLT)

17 These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. 

18 They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.”

Acts 2:17 (NLT)

17 ‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.

Acts 1:15–16 (NLT)

15 During this time, when about 120 believers were together in one place, Peter stood up and addressed them. 

16 “Brothers,” he said, “the Scriptures had to be fulfilled concerning Judas, who guided those who arrested Jesus. This was predicted long ago by the Holy Spirit, speaking through King David.

2) Allow God to work us and not just us. 

Matthew 10:1 (ESV)

1 And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction.

Matthew 13:11 (ESV)

11 And he answered them, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.

John 6:64 (NIV)

64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him.

 Matthew 7:21–23 (NIV)

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 

22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 

23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

3) God gives us a . 

Acts 1:17–19 (NLT)

17 Judas was one of us and shared in the ministry with us.” 

18 (Judas had bought a field with the money he received for his treachery. Falling headfirst there, his body split open, spilling out all his intestines. 

19 The news of his death spread to all the people of Jerusalem, and they gave the place the Aramaic name Akeldama, which means “Field of Blood.”)

Matthew 27:3–5 (NLT)

3 When Judas, who had betrayed him, realized that Jesus had been condemned to die, he was filled with remorse. So he took the thirty pieces of silver back to the leading priests and the elders. 

4 “I have sinned,” he declared, “for I have betrayed an innocent man.” “What do we care?” they retorted. “That’s your problem.” 

5 Then Judas threw the silver coins down in the Temple and went out and hanged himself.

4) God is at work. 

Philippians 2:13 (NLT)

13 For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.

Acts 1:20-21 (NLT)

20 Peter continued, “This was written in the book of Psalms, where it says, ‘Let his home become desolate, with no one living in it.’ It also says, ‘Let someone else take his position.’

 21 “So now we must choose a replacement for Judas from among the men who were with us the entire time we were traveling with the Lord Jesus—

Acts 1:22-26 (NLT)

22 from the time he was baptized by John until the day he was taken from us. Whoever is chosen will join us as a witness of Jesus’ resurrection.” 

23 So they nominated two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. 

24 Then they all prayed, “O Lord, you know every heart. Show us which of these men you have chosen 

25 as an apostle to replace Judas in this ministry, for he has deserted us and gone where he belongs.” 

26 Then they cast lots, and Matthias was selected to become an apostle with the other eleven.
