Call to Backsliders


There are many believers who were once close with Jesus who loved Him with all their heart and followed Him. Many of them were baptized in the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues. Many of them received spiritual gifts but they have gone cold, they went back to the ways of the world. They started fornicating with the world and their love for Jesus grew cold. They were drawn further and further into their harlotry in this world, loving the things of the world, forsaking Jesus, denying Him. They have bad friends, they have taken on the ways of the world, they are exactly like the world and they remember how it use to be. Many of them are addicted to lust, immorality, substances, drunkards, fornicators, whorermongers, homosexuals, they’ve gone into all kinds of immorality and sin, lies, cheating. Now they remember what it used to be like when they were close to Jesus and they want to come back but they don’t know if He will take them back. They make a kind of half hearted attempt to come back to Jesus but things are not the same as they used to be when they were first with Jesus.
Jesus never left us, He never left you. That same first love that you have for Him and that you forsook, Jesus loves you all the same. He died for you, He gave up everything for you. And all the while, while you have been onto your fornication with the world, He has been faithful to you. He never turned His back on you but now you doubt Him and you are the SINNER, you are the PERPETRATOR. Jesus never changed. He is waiting for you to come back to Him BUT you have to come back with your whole heart. Many want to come back, they want forgiveness, they want the benefits but they still want their old friends, they want to go on with their harlotries.
You will have to CHOOSE, if you want Jesus, you will have to choose, you will have to get rid of your bad friends, of the harlotries that you have brought into your house, of the bad ways that you have become acustomed to, your love for the world. You’ve got to REPENT and then He will accept you. You’ve get to get back to your First Love because you deserted your First Love and you’ve got to get RID of those things that took you away from Jesus. You’ve got to break with your sin, you’ve got to break with your harlotries.
The message to those, I read in Revelation 3:1 “I know your deeds that you have a name that you are alive but you are dead. Wake up and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die for I have not found your DEEDS completed in the sight of My God. Remember therefore what you have received and heard and keep it and REPENT, if therefore you will not wake up I will come like a thief and you will not know at what hour I will come upon you.” At the beginning nothing was too much trouble, you just loved Jesus, you just wanted to be with Him, nothing else in life mattered. All that mattered was Jesus. You wanted to work for His Kingdom, you were testifying, you were so glad because you were close with Jesus. You have to return to those first works, to the First Love. Jesus called you for a purpose in His Kingdom. You need to get RID of all those harlotries. Come to Him with all your heart, come to work for the Kingdom of God.
REPENT and come back to your first DEEDS. Don’t come back and just say:"Lord I love You, I love You." Show it! Get rid of those things, come spend time with Jesus, cry out to Him. Show Him that you are sorry. Show Him that you want to follow Him. Show Him that you want to be faithful. Show Him that you love Him more than everything and anything. If you don’t do that, you will be cut off. Repent and do the first works. Come back to Jesus and you will experience His love. You have to REPENT!
May Jesus bless you.
