Summary
Your enemies sealed the tomb. God still opened it.
Alex teaches Matthew 27:62-66 and reveals 6 characteristics of the enemy — fake, flippant, feeble, fickle, futile, and fallible — and why understanding them protects you from blaming yourself when people come against you. Nothing the enemy does can derail what God has already ordained. Not a seal. Not a guard. Not a lie. Lokelani closes with a raw, honest reflection on fear of man and what it looks like to actually let go. Nothing is wasted.

| 0:00.0 | Aloha and welcome to Amen podcast. I'm your host, Lokelani, and today's episode is called |
| 0:06.3 | Nothing is Wasted. Alex is walking us through Matthew chapter 27 versus 62 through 66. And what |
| 0:15.5 | we're going to see is that every scheme, every seal, every soldier posted at the tomb was no match for the purposes of God. |
| 0:24.8 | Nothing the enemy does can derail what God has already ordained. And that is just as true for your |
| 0:31.9 | life today as it was at the tomb. So let's get into it. I'm going to read those verses. We're in the ESV version, |
| 0:40.9 | if you'd like to follow along. The next day, that is, after the day of preparation, the chief |
| 0:47.5 | priest and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate and said, sir, we remember how that imposter said, while he was still alive, after three days |
| 0:58.1 | I will rise. Therefore, order the tomb to be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples |
| 1:06.1 | go and steal him away and tell the people he has risen from the dead and the last fraud will be worse |
| 1:13.1 | from from the first than the first pilot said to them you have a guard of soldiers go make it as |
| 1:22.7 | secure as you can so they went and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone and setting a guard. |
| 1:29.3 | Nothing is wasted because God doesn't make any accidents. And when we look at our story today, |
| 1:36.3 | we're going to see that God doesn't waste even the hatred of his enemies. He uses it |
| 1:41.8 | through his sovereign and purposeful plan for his glory. Even evil |
| 1:46.3 | serves God's purposes. Example of this is Genesis chapter 50 verse 20 before we get into our text. |
| 1:52.9 | It's the story of Joseph. You'll remember when Joseph, you know, he gets this coat of many colors. |
| 1:57.7 | He gets these visions. He tells his family about it. His family |
| 2:00.8 | doesn't respond very well. And so his brothers actually sell him into slavery and they almost |
| 2:05.7 | kill him. But one of the brothers is like, no, don't kill him. He's our brother. And they sent him |
| 2:10.5 | into slavery. And then through a series of events, God actually uses that selling into slavery and then |
| 2:16.0 | later imprisonment to turn into Joseph being the second |
| 2:19.2 | most powerful person in all of Egypt and effectively the world, which allows him to have a key |
