Lamentations 3:22-23 (KJV) Says, "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. Jeremiah 3:22 (KJV) Says, "Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the Lord our God." Hebrews 4:16 (KJV) Says, "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." Micah 7:19 (KJV) Says, "He will turn again, He will have compassion upon us; He will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea."
Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, and after doing so gotten off track finding yourself in a backsliding state? If so, you can turn things around, and you can do so immediately. God is not an unforgiving and condemning God. As the above verses of scripture taken from the book of Lamentations tell us, He does not consume us because He is merciful, and His compassions do not fail. These verses go on to tell us that His mercy and compassions are new every morning.
God is never going to force himself on you. If you are a born again believer in Jesus Christ and you are in a state of backslide having thoughts such as "It's too late for me to turn back to God", "I have been living in sin for so long there's no way God will forgive me", "there's no hope for me", "I had my chance and I wasted it", and/or any other like thoughts recognize them for exactly what they are lies straight from Satan. Satan would love nothing more than for you to believe his lies, and continue living in sin. Don't give him that victory.
The above verse of scripture taken from the Book of Jeremiah tells us that all we have to do is return to God and He will heal our backslidings. God is a loving, kind, forgiving, merciful God. He is not a Condemning God. The above verse of scripture taken from the book of Hebrews tells us to go boldly unto the throne of grace, and that God will give us mercy and grace to help us in our time of need. The above verse of scripture taken from the book of Micah makes clear that if we will turn back to God, He will have compassion on us; and will throw all of our sins (not some, but all) into the depths of the sea.
There is no sin scale with God. Sin is sin so don't feel as though your sin is so great there's no hope for you, and that God would never forgive you. He will forgive you, if you will only go to Him in prayer, and ask Him to.
If Satan has led you astray step by step, and you're feeling hopeless, go to God in prayer immediately and ask Him to forgive you of your sins, tell Him you will turn away from them and back to Him. Remember it doesn't matter how terrible you think your sins are with God sin is sin, and He will forgive you. Lay the heavy weight of your sins down at the cross, and be rid of that weighty burden. God will forgive you immediately, and cast your sins into the depths of the sea. You are His child, created in His own image, and He loves you so very much. God will give you the strength you need to resist the temptations of Satan. It is never too late to begin again. Trust in and rely on God, and He will walk through life with you holding your hand every step of the way.
If you have a prayer request and would like me to pray for you, leave me a message and I will be more than happy to do so.
