Brotha O

Some time ago, I shared with someone that I had a season of life where I backslid back in early 2021. I went back to smoking, drinking, sex outside of marriage. Admitting that Jesus just didn’t seem like enough. I was hurt. After sharing with this person, their response was, “I could never”. What’s funny about “I could never” is, I thought “I could never” too. I thought my faith could never be shaken as well. I thought I was strong enough to resist any temptation and overcome through Christ. I knew intellectually that “the Spirit was willing, but the flesh was weak”. But I didn’t fully grasp it until it came true in life. I realize now 4 years later in all transparency, is I could fall, I could compromise, I could fall right back into the same old sins that God has delivered me from.. IF I’m depending on my own strength to do so! If that is the case, then I will fall into it every time. I truly know now that it is ONLY through Jesus that any of us could overcome anything. I am weak, and I boast in the weakness, because in the weakness, Jesus’s strength is truly made perfect in me🙏🏾

Same thing happened to me. 😢 It was Jesus that brought me back into his arms and taught me that my strength couldn’t keep me up. It was HIS strength that gave me strength. It’s humbling and very freeing to admit that we aren’t strong

Thank you so much for sharing this. One of the things I appreciate most about your channel is your transparency. More and more I am understanding the reality of how much of an enemy this flesh is and can be. If it’s okay to ask—what helped you become aware that you were backslidden and what caused you to rededicate yourself to the faith journey?

I appreciate your vulnerability to be honest about your life, hardships, struggles, and relationship with God. We all fall short and stray away. I shamefully got mad at myself for my shortcomings, and wrongfully took it out on the people I love and God; I even said there must not be a God. I hope that's not the unforgivable sin. I don't know what's wrong with me.
