BACKSLIDING


concerning the issue of backsliding it is really worth talking about. it can bring you down and your whole christian life to a standstill. it is possible to go back completely into the old man. like Luke 11vs35, "becareful lest the light in you becomes darkness". but i am here to help those having problems with backsliding. BACKSLIDING is when you stop doing things for the LORD and start enjoying the things or acts of the past life, it is the actions of a Christian who seems to be losing their faith or behaving in an "un-Christian" manner and it is a failure to maintain a higher level of CHRISTIANITY one had formerly learnt.



so we are christians but we should watch closely how we walk not as worldly man but spirit-filled man. after becoming a christian it is possible to make the HOLY SPIRIT in you to cry. CHRIST will be suffering within you because of your failure to do what is right after having known what is right. do not grieve the HOLY SPIRIT. the best way to deal with the issue of backsliding is to refer to scriptures during such times and keep them on your mind, because most of the time you are tempted YOU WONT BE HAVING THE BIBLE ON YOUR HANDS but it is there on your mind. you really have to be strong. real strong. scriptures that will help you include the following, Ephesians 4 vs 30, 2 Peter 1vs 10, 2 Peter 2vs 22.



one has to be very careful concerning the issue of backsliding because you really have to know whether you are really born again or NOT. this message concerns real christians from the true meaning of the word. the bad thing about BACKSLIDING is that thedevil can use it as a powerful tool against you. if you are not strong enough you will fall. when it is temptation it is difficult to stand but if you just give in the devil has won and backsliding has got a lot negative and devastating after-effects if you ever give in (physically and emotionally).



the one good way to fight this war is to write a letter to the LORD when you are really sober and at your highest level in your christian standing. write down and promise GOD what you want to do and what you don't want to. think about your agreement with GOD each time you are tempted. but if you backslide your writing/document becomes useless. backlsliding is also a sin. it is evil to know the truth and turn back to the things of the world. if you are a christian (a mature Christian) you will realise how difficult it is to take away from your mind your backsliding actions.



at home, at work and everywhere you go, the thing is on your mind. you are ever conscious of the evil you do even if you continue to do it you will never get used. there is an invisible calling voice. but after backsliding you have to pray to GOD with scriptures like JEREMIAH 3 when GOD says HE is the one who can cure your back sliding. do get in touch concerning this topic and we will sure learn a lot. i love my GOD. let not the word backsliding exist in your vocabulary. there is plenty of scriptures that i did not quote concerning this particular topic on BACKSLIDING.
