WHAT TO DO WHEN SPIRITUALITY FALLS? God wants His children to maintain a strong spiritual life! But we cannot always maintain that! Matthew 26:41. Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Hebrews 5:2. He who is beset by weakness can have compassion on the ignorant and erring. Revelation 3:15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot! 16 So then, because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth. 1. Some causes of spiritual decline. Revelation 2:4. Yet I have this against you, that you have forsaken the love you had at first. Isaiah 43:22. Yet you have not called to me, O Jacob. O Israel, you have grown weary of me! Matthew 13:22. He who received seed among thorns is he who hears the word, but the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. Ezekiel 20:16. For they have forsaken my commands, … because their hearts have gone after their idols. Deuteronomy 8:13. Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the LORD your God, … or when you have eaten and are satisfied, and have built fine houses and settled down, and your herds and flocks have multiplied, and your silver and gold have multiplied, and all that you have multiplied, then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God… 2. Recognize your spiritual decline. Revelation 2:5. Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. Malachi 3:7a From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. 2 Peter 2:20, 21. For if, after they have escaped from the pollutions of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state of their condition has become worse for them than the first. 21 It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, if after they had known it, they turn away from the holy commandment delivered to them. 3. What can we do to revive our spiritual life? Psalm 42:1. As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants for you, O God. Jeremiah 6:16 Thus says the LORD: Stand in the ways and see; Ask for the old paths, see where the good way is; walk therein, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said to them, We will not walk therein. Deuteronomy 4:9 Only take heed to yourself, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but teach them to your sons and to your sons' sons. Revelation 3:2 Watch, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found your works perfect before my God. Hebrews 3:12, 13 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, by falling away from the living God. But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called "today," lest any of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. Isaiah 38:16. O Lord, … Heal me, revive me. Psalm 119:50. Your word revives me…
