Getting Backslider's Back on Track
1. Acknowledge Your Backsliding: Recognize that you've faced a challenge and reflect on the circumstances that led you there, considering the reasons behind your actions. Everyone encounters failures in their Christian Walk; this self-awareness is the initial step toward spiritual renewal. Don’t stay stagnant—remember the words of Donnie McClurkin’s song, “We Fall Down, But We Get Up.” So, rise up! Jeremiah 2:19 You have done wrong, and that will only bring punishment to you. Trouble will come to you, and it will teach you a lesson. Think about it and understand how bad it is to turn away from the LORD your God. It is wrong not to fear and respect me." This message is from Lord GOD All-Powerful.
2. Seek Forgiveness: Engage in sincere prayer, asking for forgiveness with a genuine heart. Trust in God’s boundless mercy and find solace in the renewal and restoration that His grace brings to your soul. Psalms 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
3. Confide in a Trusted Friend: Open up about your struggles to a supportive friend or mentor who shares your faith or with your sPA here at Spiritual Body Clinic. Their guidance and encouragement can offer valuable insights, and a supportive community like Spiritual Body Clinic can illuminate your path. Acts 19:18 Many of the believers began to confess, telling about all the evil things they had done.
4. Recommit to Daily Prayer: Make a commitment to engage in daily prayer. These moments will gradually strengthen and deepen your relationship with God, enhancing your spiritual connection bring you back into fellowship with God. Colossians 4:2 Never stop praying. Be ready for anything by praying and being thankful.
5. Engage with Scripture: Dedicate time to explore the teachings in the Bible, appreciating its wisdom. Meditating on Scripture can bring spiritual healing and encouragement, guiding you back from your backslidden state to the right path with renewed hope! Acts 17:11 The people in Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica. They were so glad to hear the message Paul told them. They studied the Scriptures every day to make sure that what they heard was really true.
6. Attend Church Regularly: Ensure you participate in church services consistently. Being part of a church fosters support, inspiration, and motivation to get you re-aligned with your spiritual journey. Hebrews 10:25 We must not quit meeting together, as some are doing. No, we need to keep on encouraging each other. This becomes more and more important as you see The Day getting closer.
7. Embrace Forgiveness: Start by forgiving yourself. Release any bitterness or resentment towards yourself or others, even if others don’t forgive. Practicing forgiveness is a vital step towards healing your backslidden condition and moving forward joyfully. Matthew 6:14 Yes, if you forgive others for the wrongs they do to you, then your Father in heaven will also forgive your wrongs.
8. Serve Others: Seek out opportunities to help those in need in your community. Acts of service not only draw you closer to God but allow you to embody His teachings through compassion bring you back into fellowship with Him and your fellow man. Matthew 25:37-40 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? (38) When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? (39) Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? (40) And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
9. Stay Vigilant: Keep mindful of any distractions that may lead you away from your faith. The devil is busy and is constantly trying to turn your thought away from God. Identify and steer clear of negative influences to protect your heart and mind. 1 Peter 5:7-11 Give all your worries to him, because he cares for you. (8) Control yourselves and be careful! The devil is your enemy, and he goes around like a roaring lion looking for someone to attack and eat. (9) Refuse to follow the devil. Stand strong in your faith. You know that your brothers and sisters all over the world are having the same sufferings that you have. (10) Yes, you will suffer for a short time. But after that, God will make everything right. He will make you strong. He will support you and keep you from falling. He is the God who gives all grace. He chose you to share in his glory in Christ. That glory will continue forever. (11) All power is his forever. Amen.
10. Trust in God’s Promises: Rely on God’s unwavering love and promises, knowing that no matter how far you’ve wandered, His love and grace are always ready to welcome you back into His embrace. Proverbs 3:5-8 Trust the LORD completely, and don't depend on your own knowledge. (6) With every step you take, think about what he wants, and he will help you go the right way. (7) Don't trust in your own wisdom, but fear and respect the LORD and stay away from evil. (8) If you do this, it will be like a refreshing drink and medicine for your body.
