A pastor got so angry and told a troublemaker in his congregation who had constantly been getting on his nerves that; "You don't know me. Huh?, If you are not careful, I will put this bible on the floor and beat you mercilessly, I used to be the area fighter back in the days. You better go and check my history" :) (Before he realized what just came out of his mouth. Of course. Lol)
Does that sound familiar? Are you occasionally tempted to "show" or "remind" someone of who yo...u "used" to be or what you are made of??
Yep - I'm ashamed to admit that I've been there too. The thing is - when you become "born-again", Satan gets angry about losing you. He becomes very determined to return you back to him. So he will intentionally target what he knows to be your weakest link by sending his agents in the form of people to constantly tap into that link through temptations. And if you are not careful, my friend, you will break by retaliating. But once you break, you have backslided - hence giving Satan his wish. Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17 that "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW creation; OLD things have PASSED AWAY; behold, ALL things have become NEW"

We should all keep this scripture in mind at all times and know that whatever or whoever we were BEFORE we repented and got saved by the grace of God, we are NO LONGER that person. That person is dead forever and should never be referred to or revived - ever again. The very minute we even CONSIDER reviving that old character or habit, we have pleased Satan and given him victory over us. As Christians, let us SOAK ourselves in PRAYER constantly and consistently. If we PRAY without ceasing, Satan and his agents will never succeed in our lives. Don't allow Satan to make you backslide. God has brought you way too far for you to go back. #HOLD onto God's grace and his #word. May God continue to bless you and your families!
