The Journey to reconcile to God may appear to be difficult. It is important to Understand some basic principles about God.
1. God LOVES you and I with an everlasting love and nothing or noone can change his love. Not even backsliding (Romans 8:39)
2. God accepts us because of Jesus Christ. (Eph 1:6)
3. When we repent, God forgives! (1 John 1:9)
4. God does not condemn those who are in Christ Jesus(Romans 1:8)
5. God himself will heal the backslider. I encourage you to read this annointed sermon by Charles H. Spurgeon.
Remember, A period of spritual cleansing and purification is encouraged. Be led of the Spirit of God.
It is the backslider's responsibility to:
1. Turn away from the things, people, places, activities and attitudes that are not helpful to the cleansing and healing process.
2. Ask for God's help in identifying and removing the soul ties and strong holds in your life.
3. Seek after God with all your might.
4. Forsake self, pick up your cross and follow Christ.
5. Let the joy of the Lord be your strenght.
6. PRAY, PRAY, PRAY.
7. Read God's Word
8. Ask God to lead you in all your daily walk.
9. Have a strong support network. Your network does not have to big; but it has to be strong.
10. Be accountable to someone.
11. If dealing with an addiction of any kind, seek the appropriate help.
12. Take one step at a time and praise God for each step that you take.
I trust your heart is encouraged. You are surrounded by love and by people who want you to succeed. Most of all, you have an Advocate who sits on the right hand of God making intercession for you! Always remember to agree with the intercessory prayers of Jesus that he prays for you before the Father.
May God Bless You.
I love you with the love of Christ. I am praying for you.
