Spiritual decline means that the divine life in a person had grown to some level and then, for some reason, the divine life in a person began to decrease. The divine life in a person grows as the person speaks forth words of God (Jn. 3:34) and always meditates on the word of God (Ro. 10:10). When a person who used to let the word of God dwell in her/him richly (Col. 3:16), begins to neglect the word of God, spiritual decline sets in.

This is what happened to Adam and Eve, which caused the collapse of the divine life in them. God gave them His word, a command, and they always had this command of God in their hearts and definitely voiced out this command of God. When Satan came to deceive Eve, he uttered a word that contradicted God's word and Eve responded with God's word only once, before giving in to Satan's word. Eve went on to lead Adam to also give in to Satan's word. The collapse of the divine life in mankind took place. If Eve had maintained speaking the word that God gave Adam, she wouldn't have given in to the word of Satan.

When Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness, Jesus consistently replied every word of Satan with the right word of God; because of this unwavering confession of God's word, Jesus never sinned.

As human beings, Satan silently brings his word to us in the form of the urge to do what is not right. We must train ourselves to respond to every sinful thought by speaking forth the commandment of God that is related to the sinful thought. We can only do this if we make the word of God to dwell in our hearts richly. As we consistently speak forth words of God, God gives us His Holy Spirit without limit (Jn. 3:34). If we rather keep on yielding to sinful thoughts, spiritual decline will continue in our lives until we reach the bottom.

Ge. 4:6 Then the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast?
Ge. 4:7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it.”
