God gives hope 2 d hopeless in ways we cannot explain.In anyway u hav lost hope,d Lord wil restore it dis season in Jesus name.To be down does not necessarily mean 2 be out.In oda words,dat d devil hit u nd u fell flat on ur face does not mean dat u should give up d fight.Wen a baby is learnin 2 walk,it wil fall several times,yet it continues 2 make d effort.D fact dat u can walk,jog or even run only shows dat u ovacame dose failed attempts u experienced while growin up.Are u presently being defeated by a besetting sin?After u confessed nd asked God 4 forgiveness,u promised neva 2 go back 2 it nd u sincerely meant it;only 4 u 2 find urself @ dat same bus stop of sin down d line.With dis experience continuing 4 a while,u might begin 2 think it is pointless tryin 2 serve God.Are u givin up? Don't! Such situation is not new 2 believers.Almost every true Christian has gone tru dat phase. Can u believe d greatest of appostles went tru it? In Romans7:15,he says,"4 dat which I do I allow not:4 wat I would,dat do I not;but wat I hate,dat I do".Dis is a state where dere is serious conflict btw d old nd d new nature,btw d flesh nd d spirit.It does nt mean u hav nt been saved wen u go tru dis.D devil wil tell u all sorts of tins.Refuse 2 believe him.To ovacom dis phase which is also transient,persevere.If u fall into d sin,don't stay dere.Ask God 4 forgiveness nd rise up on ur feet again.Never stay down;always find ur way back 2 d cross,receive cleansin nd continue wit Christ again.Also,identify dat particular area of weakness nd begin 2 pray specifically on it usin Romans6:5-18,personalizing d scriptures.Avoid any individual dat wil easily tak u back 2 dat sin nd sever such a relationship.Avoid physical locations,tangible items nd even resign any appointment dat may keep u a permanent slave of sin.Pray regularly in d spirit askin 4 His help.Hav no idle moments wit ur time,fully engage in wat glorifies God. HAVING DONE ALL TO STAND; STAND!
