Dear Readers: Today’s Church Sermon spoke to me: The Backslidden Believer

I remember when Christ came into my life.  I so wanted to learn more about him.  I wanted to know Christ not just of him.  You know, like, we know of our President but we don’t know him.  Like we don’t know what brand of socks he likes.  I want to know what brand of socks Jesus will wear because I will want to wear them so I can walk like him. 

I would not be so uncertain about a lot of things because I was walking like him.  I wouldn’t be falling into depression so often.  I would be at peace because the Holy Spirit will be counseling me.  Life will be bring me challenges but I will be giving every challenge to the Lord.  Then it will not be heavy on me.

Today’s sermon opened my eyes wide and it acknowledged me as being a backslidden believer.  Something of course that I did not want to admit.  I got caught up in the blessings and I was praying lesser.   I feel less into the want of wearing his socks even if I knew that I already had the socks. When things were really bad I was dropped to my knees everyday.  Now I am not even fitting my daily the prayer as I once did before. 

A few situations have come up and the realization had come up.  I can’t do this on my own.  How could I forget where God brought me out of?  If it was not for him, I will not even be standing by now.  So the excitement needs to come back, first I repent for the sins that I have done while saved.  I praise you Lord.  My needs Lord…I need help in Grad School.  It is a difficult path especially these papers and time gets away from me because of the dance company I run.  Both are good but I don’t want one to give into another.  Help me see clearly how you want me to manger both. 

Based on Genesis 35:1-15, The sermon today was split into the believer’s invitation (thank you for inviting me to you), preparation (repent to clean the heart), cleansification (the cleansing process begins) Than the 3 applications:

1)       Do you LOVE Jesus Christ?  Yes and not just what he does for me but him.

2)      If you don’t LOVE Christ as ONCE before, How do you fix it? 

Revelations 2:3

3)       Have Jesus ever been your 1^st LOVE?

Yes when I put him before my first 1^st love here on earth. I knew then.

Revelation 2:3-5 

And you have perseverance and have endured for My name’s sake, and have not grown weary.  But I have this against you, that you have left your first love.  Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your lamp stand out of its place-unless you repent.

Remember

In Christian Life, you either go forward or backwards. GO BACK TO YOUR BETHAL WHEN YOUR HEART GOES COLD.   Where you first fell to your knees to Christ, mine was at my church in Beaufort.   and yes! i know that Jesus will not be having socks on his time on Earth but you must admit that it was a GREAT symbolization.
