If you're in a season of backsliding, this is for you.

[@Xoxannalisa]

Definitely related to the beginning of my walk cutting out those things and recently coming back to those things and watching worldly things I shouldn’t be, and the scripture a little leaven leaven’s the WHOLE bread . So just a little bit of sin really has a snowball affect . I had to go on a 3 day water fast and it did wonders because it was a time of denying my flesh and being weak and vulnerable and relying on God. It can be difficult but it’s all about really picking up our cross and denying our flesh daily (speaking to myself here as well). I can’t live a life without Jesus , I fear being without the Holy Spirit forever 😢. I tasted righteousness and don’t want to go back , I pray the Lord delivers us from backsliding and we all come back to our first love ❤️

“You don’t realize the true effects of backsliding until it’s noticeable or feels irreversible” Goodness. That’s so true.

[@Couvered]

Right?!? Like it seems obvious, but in the moment your decisions really don't seem that bad.

[@KirraCameron]

girl, I am not gonna lie. Before I saw your video, I had put myself into a situation that caused me to backslide into one of my many dark sins. before even committing it I heard, in my mind, a light voice saying, don't do it Kirra, don't do it, it's not worth it. I knew that was the holy spirit but I didn't listen. then i started to think, well if I'm gonna continue to be the way i am, then i am not worthy of God. I can't accept Jesus Christ as my Saviour because i keep turning away from him. Then I see your video. through you, the holy spirit gave me hope again. So I thank you so much girl, God bless you.

[@3eromosele]

Not this came on my page and I literally have been backsliding with smoking and I’m like Lord, I gotta do better because you delivered me from that and I’m over here acting like Pharaoh. Even yesterday I smoked and I said Lord let me ride in the sunshine and take this away because I’m so close to what you are bringing in my life and I can’t mess up blessings I prayed for.

[@dvnwifey222]

This! That last sentence hit home. The enemy wants US to sabotage our own blessings bc he knows he can’t do anything to stop what God is about to do.

[@JanaeLove-zw4df]

I backslid HARD recently. I have felt like God wasn’t with me. Like he was disgusted by what I did, because I was disgusted by what I did. I felt like God was done with one and wouldn’t forgive me. I kept thinking of Psalms 51 and just praying that God gives me the willingness. I just happened upon this video and it was EXACTLY what I needed. I started tearing up when I saw it. God has always spoken to me through angel numbers. As I am typing this, this video has 444 likes. God is here with me and I am so happy. Thank you for posting this. I hope everyone reading has a blessed day and knows that Jesus loves you no matter what.

When you said you thought God left you and He responds with I never left, I was reminded of Psalm 139:11-12 “I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night- but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬

[@NewYearGoalzz]

God just restored my peace today, I had back slid into some things I shouldn’t have. Let’s just say that. And I can attest to how good and scary god is. For me it was waking up trying to resist it. Truthfully I really didn’t try to. But I didn’t feel the Holy Spirit convict me. Like at all. And today after about three days of me saying that’s it. No more and I went back to living holy and reading my scripture while it wasn’t perfect reading. But God has restored my peace to me about it. Through music and I asked god to show me a red car if he was still with me. And a red suv passed. Shortly after that I said to him that had to be coincidental, so then i said if it be your will a red car, a truck or anything. 3 minutes later I saw a red Truck! And then another red car 😇 even though I backslid Jesus still loves me. Yea I have repented I was honest as to why i backslid and it was because I compromised and listened to a decite from the devil and then I did what she said it was a huge backslide. Everything she has said about it being a snowball effect is VERY true. Take heed y’all who think about going back into something. Do NOT DO IT. Gods chastisement is SCARY but a lesson well learned . Stay blessed amen y’all!

[@papasama7673]

The holy spirit does not leave. It stays with you through everything you do. Its probably one of the saddest and also the most amazing things.

[@shamadiequinones3955]

I never know how to explain myself because I keep some many things in but that’s where I backslid bc I have been allowing the evil voices to get to me. I feel ashamed as my holy spirt was telling me to stop holding and too stop hiding from god as he doesn’t want us to hide he wants too come to him. Too all my brothers and sisters out there please don’t hide god knows what we are going through and he loves us he wants to come to him to invite him in our lives. Always remember that his loves is stronger then anything we are trying to hide.

[@jamiliarichards7459]

i was always taught “Jesus is married to the backsliders” the only verse i ever heard of backsliding till this video, i’ve always felt like i had to be the one to stop myself from backsliding but learning it is Jesus makes it so much better and gives a better perspective for me and my walk with Him. Thank you Jesus !

[@dvnwifey222]

I recently backslid and it cost me EVERYTHING. literally everything. I came back to God completely broken and repentant. I knew for sure I had went too far this time and messed up one too many times this go round. But God is so good. He forgave me, told me He loves me and wants to restore me. I learned a lesson that I’ll never have to learn again. Backsliding occurs when we lack trust in God. At least for me that’s what it was. I didn’t trust Him. And that caused so much turmoil in my life. Again, lesson learned. God is worthy of our love and our trust. He is actually the ONLY one we can truly trust. So from here on out, I’m just gonna trust God. 🥺

[@PinkMonroe]

This was so relatable. Being in a season of backsliding is such a conflicting feeling once you realize it is what you're doing. Your message about repentance helped lift so much weight off of my shoulders. Thank you so much for this video!!! Keep up the good work

[@CarolAFollowerOfJesusChrist]

This is a word !!! Ive been backsliding in a different area im dealing with lust. Its so on point what you said about after your encounter with Jesus everything did a 360 and you were a different person put off the old man. I did the same its been almost 4years for me being celibate and although I Love God with all my soul I began to feel starved for compassionship isolated and the man im currently dating we slept together and now my almost 4 years of celibacy is ruined and this event has changed everything and I find myself doing things I shouldn't be doing but do anyway and then feel so guilty and discusted with myself but this video was water to much needed soul and I will get back on track in Jesus name only with the help of God. None of us are perfect and Jesus said I came for the sick tht need a doctor so only tht help we need can come from him but we have to be willing to put this sin down once again. Precious Lord Jesus Christ help us and give us the strength to give all tht tarnish our spiritual walk to you for you know what's good for us

just saw this prayer I made on my YouVersion about daydreaming/romanticization, i pray it helps🤍 Dear Jesus, We are called to walk through life with You. In the hard times, in the good times, and most especially in the times when we may feel tempted to get away from our realities. You gave us expansive imaginations so that… just like You, we can create beautiful things and see things beyond the natural realm. Forgive us for using this gift wrongly, and for entertaining thoughts or delusions that pull us away from You. I offer my mind to You Lord, and I ask that You take away any and all things polluting my thoughts or causing me to daydream of any life other than the amazing one you gave me! May my dreams and desires align with Yours. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.❤️

[@Shima_さん]

in my walk, earlier on, I used to be literally addicted to a sin (which I won’t disclose). Day in and day out I would only do that sin even disregarding basic necessities such as eating or sleeping. I was like this for about a little over 3 years until I finally repented and seemed to change my life. Obviously, even after repenting I would always have temptation lurking at the door. I was clean from that sin for about 2 months, utilise I was back. It’s not to say I just went ahead and went against God, i had a battle in my mind on whether I should do it or not, and unfortunately I fell into it again. My point is when you have that battle in you mind, your making a choice. To do it or not. And as someone who came from a terrible sin, that was addictive to me, it’s just hard to resist. I know very well that we should die to our flesh and pray and fast so we can overcome such things, which is good, but it’s just hard. I trust Jesus is still working on me, but at that point I felt like my choice was deliberate, which is why now I feel empty and…well on the verge on depression. So it would be great if you guys could pray for me, and if you can explain hebrews 10:26. Thanks

[@Couvered]

It is definitely hard to turn against sin but the context of Hebrews 10:26 (from my research) is not about backsliding per say (check out the enduring word commentary). It was written to the Jews who became Christian and turned back to Judaism. It is speaking about renouncing the Gospel and denying the sacrifice Jesus made for us. I hope this brings you some comfort. I do encourage you to continue trying to fast (water if able, 6am-6pm if able, ask God which fast and for how long) and pray. We will surely be praying for you!!

This is the video I need. I thought I was the only one or one of the few that has this seasoning of backsliding. I can’t even lie, I’m slowly going back to my old sins and mostly it’s lust. My sexuality has always been the issue because it opened the door for other sins to come and everyday I’ve been fighting the urges and praying to God to strengthen me through the urges and sometimes I win some and lose some. When I lose, I’ll sit there for a moment and pray for repentance. I sometimes have to force myself to repent because I sometimes to feel anything after committing a sin. Thank you for much for this video

Not only did I not have control, I lost ANY control over it that I mightve had and that thang came on me hard.

[@Couvered]

If you don't feel conviction for your sins anymore, I think you can try to just think whether or not what you're doing glorifies God. God would never make you feel guilty or ashamed, so don't stress about not feeling bad, but if you know something you may do does not honor God, then try to stray away from it. I can relate with laziness and lack of motivation- what has helped me is just doing things step by step. Don't overthink trying to repent and follow God, just do little by little. You can read one verse a day to start off! Listening to this video which shared some verses is already a step forward, you can write those down and look at them when you are unsure about what to do. Pray and ask God for motivation and encouragement, that you may have the energy to grow closer to Him. I'm praying for you! -Sam

[@gracek5192]

i’m rlly having trouble focusing on God and trying to follow him. i keep getting distracted and i don’t desire to follow him mostly. i’m obsessed with social media and ik that is a sin. does anyone want to start an ig group chat for christians to help each other be accountable?

[@Couvered]

I can relate to that, but it's okay to be on social media often as long as you're not idolizing it. I think that if you're constantly on social media, filling your home feed up with positive (Christian) things might help with starting to focus more on God. Honestly, if you don't know where to start, maybe just start with prayer. Ask God to hold your hand in your walk with Him, and to strip away any sinful desires. Pray that you're able to discern God's voice above all the others so that you may focus on Him. God will transform you, you just have to let Him. It's okay to struggle and stumble- that's why we have a forgiving, merciful, and loving God. I'm praying for you! -Sam

Hii I just wanted to say this really helped especially as a youth because it’s really not easy in this generation now at days trying to avoid the “trend” as in vaping I’ve never vaped before but I have been tempted to a lot of times and also I used to listen to secular music but took a break off it for a year currently still trying to not listen too it but it’s very tempting any thoughts?

[@Couvered]

Idk if this will help but one thing that always made me never want to vape is seeing how vapers NEVER put their vape down. You don't EVER want to be dependent on anything like that, like it's actually kind of scary when you think about it. Now for the secular music, it becomes easier over time and once you find the Christian music you like (rnb, Afro gospel, etc). You just have to find your groove fr!! & sometimes I do still listen to secular music but I try to be really cautious and listen to songs that aren't explicit, promoting violence, etc. not saying it's right, but you just have to be very selective. Hope this helps

Tbh, I've been struggling, it feels like being a Christian is restrictive, it feels like its so many rules, and it feels like, when i pray, i feel like i have these things i have to say, it gets tiring, and I've been getting tempted to leave Christianity, but i won't bc if i do there's punishment, and its just.. ugh.. and i also feel like the smallest thing would displease him. I kinda.. feel tired.. can someone help? I just.... it feels like i just follow a bunch of rules..

[@Ember-ut5fj]

And it's hard to read the Bible.

[@Couvered]

I want to emphasize relationship >>>religion. As you grow closer to God, it genuinely does not feel like you're following rules. When praying, try to have a conversation, don't say the things you feel forced to say but genuinely say what's on your mind. You have to change your opinion of God, the God you're serving doesn't sound like a loving, gracious, and caring God. God wants us to be happy in his presence, feel his joy, and relish in his blessings.

[@Couvered]

As far as reading the Bible, I personally found it easier to start with either the four gospels or the book of Romans. I truly hope this helps but pls dm us on Instagram if you have more questions ❤️
