I just came out backsliding…
-Praise God. When people start backsliding its starts with conscience disobedience then God draws them back and being humble they repent. People think that God will give them some other instruction. Perhaps give into their desires or somewhere along those lines. When you walk with Christ again, you’ll find that God has not changed His mind. He’s more aggressive, and His voice is louder in His instruction than before. You’ll find that He’ll call you to do things that if you weren’t backslidden, you know how to do. During that time that was supposed to be your training season.
In all reverence to God He is sovereign and regardless of Human will power His will, will be done. How God decides to teach you His authority varies but it is crucial to grasp. Therefore do not lose heart in what He is doing, it is for your future benefit.
My son, do not reject the discipline of the LORD or loathe His reproof, For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth (proverbs 3:12). KJV
Remember your want and need for God is only a shadow emotion of His desire for you. Christ was our penal substitution, and we are continuously sanctified. We still sin. We must continue to repent.
Well, I’ve been trying to obey Him. I’m about 30% there.
You should not look at your relationship with God regarding a percentage. As soon as Christ died on Calvary, your relationship has and always will be 100%. A relationship with Christ is a revealing of His love for you not a making of it. Therefore If God is infinite so is His love for you and it takes an eternity to grasp. Like any revelation, you must spend time in the word and seek out the Holy Spirit.
