How to Guarantee You Backslide or to See Why You have Already Back-Slidden and are now Lukewarm and Fallen Away from Christ
- Refuse to put God first by seeking Him in daily prayer (preferably morning time – Psalms 5:3; 63:1; Matthew 6:6; Mark 1:35; Romans 12:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:17, etc.).
- Refuse to read and study God’s Word daily to nourish your spirit with His Word and thereby be invigorated by His very divine life (Proverbs 4:4, 21; Jeremiah 15:16; Matthew 4:4; 2 Timothy 2:15; 1 Peter 2:2; Revelation 1:3).
- Refuse to be a doer of God’s Word (Matthew 7:19-29; James 1:22; 1 John 2:3-6).
- Openly deny Christ by refusing to communicate the Gospel to others, thereby rejecting Christ (Mark 8:38; Luke 12:8-9; Philemon 1:6).
- Refuse to set your affection on things above and not on the things on this fleeting, sinful world system (Colossians 3:1-4).
- Refuse to die to self, take up the cross daily and follow Jesus (Luke 9:23-24).
- Spend all monies on self instead of giving to others in need (Acts 2:44-45; 4:34-35; 20:35; 2 Corinthians 9:6-11).
- Love this world and the things in it (1 John 2:15-17).
- Refuse to engage in regular, vital fellowship with true New Testament, on-fire disciples of Jesus (Acts 2:42-47; Hebrews 3:13; 10:24-25). Note: This has little or nothing to do with “going to church” or being a good church member.
- Refuse to hold His Word as the highest authority and rule to measure all doctrine and practices by (Psalms 119; John 10:35; 2 Timothy 3:16).
- Spend time doing frivolous things and have not time to obey God’s Great Commission command (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20, etc.).
- Refuse to learn and hold only to divine truth as clearly revealed in Holy Scripture and embrace the diabolical myth of “once saved, always saved” which will result in robbing all fear of God from your heart and life (Matthew 10:22; 24:13; Luke 8:13; Acts 14:22; Galatians 5:4; Colossians 1:23; Hebrews 3:6, 12-14; 10:26-39; 2 Peter 2:20-22; Revelation 2-3, etc.).
- Refuse to seek Jesus to be His disciple, His student, and discipline follower, finding your whole identity only in Him (1 Peter 2:2; Galatians 2:20).
- Make excuses for your sins instead of admitting, confessing, and repenting of them (Psalms 69:5; Proverbs 28:13; Hebrews 4:14-16; 1 John 1:3-2:2).
- Love yourself more than the LORD who commanded those who would know Him to “love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” (Matthew 22:37)
- Refuse to “love thy neighbour as thyself.” (Matthew 22:38)
There is a battle raging over your eternal soul and God gives you the pivotal deciding vote. Lip service won’t cut it. You must repent, lay down your whole life, and seek the face of the LORD unrelentingly until you are with Him. Otherwise, you absolutely will fall away.
“Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.” Hosea 10:12
Fellowship with Other Disciples
An Essential Command!
Fellowshipping, the Bible way, with other believers is a divine command and not a suggestion. If you don’t obey God in fellowshipping with His true remnant, you will fall away just as sure as you are reading these words.
“But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” Hebrew 3:13
When God is truly first in our lives, His body then becomes a very high priority and not an afterthought. To reject fellowship with His body is to reject Him.
“Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me … Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.” Matthew 25:40, 45
“And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” Hebrews 10:24-25
It is guaranteed that you have already and are presently back-sliding if you do not do the simple things Jesus requires of you to experience an abiding relationship with Him. Be forewarned that if you do not literally and practically obey God by making Jesus Christ your very “first love” and priority, you are or will be “cast forth as a branch, … withered … cast … into the fire, and … burned.” (John 15:6; Revelation 2:4-5)
Hell awaits. By disobeying the LORD, you are saying to the very Judge of your eternal soul “God, I thank You for saving me but I just don’t want to be bothered with getting to know You because You are not important enough to me. I just want to miss hell, that’s why I am glad to be ‘saved’.”
Judgment Day is on the way and be sure that the following will be your fate as you have been forewarned by the Son of God:
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Matthew 7:21-23
“Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.” Matthew 25:41

Abiding Under the Shadow of the Almighty [podcast]

“O Lord, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke. 16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: Jeremiah 15:15-16
Dwelling “in the secret place of the most High”
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.” Psalms 91:1-2
“In the secret place of the Most High – Spoken probably in reference to the Holy of holies. He who enters legitimately there shall be covered with the cloud of God’s glory – the protection of the all-sufficient God. This was the privilege of the high priest only, under the law: but under the new covenant all believers in Christ have boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus; and those who thus enter are safe from every evil.” Adam Clarke
“[Psalms] 91:1, 2 Jesus is the One who in a preeminent way dwelt in the secret place of the Most High, and abode under the shadow of the Almighty. There never was a life like His. He lived in absolute, unbroken fellowship with God, His Father. He never acted in self-will but did only those things that the Father directed. Though He was perfect God, He was also perfect Man, and He lived His life on earth in utter and complete dependence on God. Without equivocation He could look up and say, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in Him I will trust.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

Attend to My Words [podcast]

IF THE WORD isn’t flowing into you daily, you are falling away. Flood and fuel your heart and mind and body with the pure, the holy light of God’s Word daily and you will never famish! All darkness will be vanquished (Psalms 119:130). All who have been saved and yet aren’t in God’s Word and prayer daily – have rejected Christ, with no exception. Re-turn to the LORD prodigal. There’s no good outside of Christ the KING.
“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psalms 119:130
ALL who are not in God’s written Word daily are not hearing from God, do not have God’s wisdom and direction, and are walking in darkness – 100%.
The feeding of Christ’s flock would integrally involve exhorting them to diligently study and walk in God’s Word themselves, daily (John 21:15-17). Isn’t this exactly what the apostle Paul told Timothy to do? Yes. He told his understudy to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)
One of the ways we know who the false ministers are, is that they want people dependent on THEM, not God. So, they don’t constantly exhort the people to get into God’s Word, the Holy Scriptures, for themselves. Run.
“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” Joshua 1:8
“He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. … My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:4, 20-23
“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16
“Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16
“Over the last 5-10 years I can see where He has done this for me already, but the problem is …. it’s not enough! I want even more! One hour of study and prayer in the morning is not enough!” Christine

“Reformed Theology“, is just a fancy way of saying ‘We know better than Paul, the old testament prophets, even David! And the very apostles who walked with Jesus must be unlearned men or liars.’ Nay, I will not say such a thing of my LORD and Saviour, Christ Jesus. Let God be true, and >every< man a liar.” Jonathan Crane
It’s “ungodly men” who mislead the gullible with the eternal security heresy, and the heretical doctrines and system of calvinism. Jude warned us of just that, as did the prophets (Jude 3-4; Jeremiah 23:17, etc.). Then Jude reminds us of God’s judgment upon His own covenant people who were saved out of Egypt (the world) and then “afterward destroyed.” Then Jude reminds us that God judged the angels, a third of them, who rebelled against Him and were terminated from His domain, Heaven (Isaiah 14:12-15; Luke 10:18; Revelation 12:7-12, etc.).
“For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. 5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.” Jude 4-6
The Book of Jude
Greeting
1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:
2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
Judgment on False Teachers
3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.
A Call to Persevere
17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Doxology
24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
