- Backsliding is very common in the Christian Walk. We lose that fire for God, we stop reading the bible as much, stop praying and we fall into sin. We then spiral into self-condemnation and feelings of guilt, we might even feel too far from God to get back on track. We feel like we're in the wrong. We feel far from God. In this video I explain why this happens and how to move forward on your walk! There is a way to get your fire and zeal back for God!! ♡

This was a wonderful video, I'm glad it was recommended in my feed. A wonderful reminder of how to fight against backsliding, which is so much more common than a lot of us like to admit! Stay blessed, Gabby. May our Father shower you with His favour!
“Backsliding is not an excuse to keep backsliding” glad you said it.
There was a time when I was backsliding with depression and life taking thoughts and I was so tired of believing the same lies but made no effort to draw closer to God. But by His grace, He laid on my heart a hard truth:
“How many shortcomings would’ve been avoided if the voice you chose was mine? I am always speaking, just not always on the channel you refuse to change. Please don't be selective in my guidance because you don't want to adjust your self made narrative. I have so much more for you.”
So with humbled heart, I pressed into prayer and scripture lol. He knew what I needed to hear. Great video. Your fire for God is inspiring. Looking forward to the next one.
Wow, thank you for sharing!! I have been there too. Sulking deeply in my feelings not really wanting to lean into what God was saying. It was like I got comfortable being sad all the time. I think a lot of us aren't willing to admit that when we're low, sometimes it can feel good to stay there, but God doesn't want that for us. So happy you're out of that mindspace and are leaning into God's goodness in your life!!
@@ItsGabbySings Totally agree, it almost feels predictable and “safe” in a weird way. Those thoughts become more harmful the longer they stay unaddressed. It took me a long time to realize honesty in self reflection leads to vulnerability in conversation and prayer. I'm just thankful He's a patient, though just, God.
Something that helped me put the process in words:
A great act of faith it is, to pick up your cross after backsliding. For the time after you drop it and before you pick it up again, is when the enemy is loud. You will hear no greater words of shame to deter you from picking it back up and no sweeter words of pleasure as to why you should leave it for another day. But even they bow in silence to the One who bore the cross. So with the rising sun, draw near to the risen Son, and pick up your cross again.
In my Christian faith i was a back sliding Christian and i have slipped up plenty of times but I have a creator who loves me unconditionally and he loves us when we slip up ame peace out sister in Christ we are flesh amen ✝️✝️✝️✝️🔥🔥🔥❤️🇱🇷🇱🇷🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🔥🔥😁😁😁
I cant believe you only have 80 subs! You deserve so much more and I pray the algorithm spreads your videos around. Thanks for being unique and being yourself. God Bless You and when it seems like nothings working, it is, your videos are helping many, especially myself. Glory to the Kingdom of the most high. 🙏🏼 🕊️. Cheers friend!
That’s very kind and encouraging! Thank you for that!! I’m glad these are making a difference 💗
Proverbs 1:5
A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
I hate to admit it, but I have backslid most of my christian life..
I wrestle with anger issues and bitterness over things that have happend to me in my life and I struggled with lust and loneliness and depression.
I have forgiven all the people who have done me wrong.
I am even learning to forgive myself for letting myself down and failing and regretting my mistakes..
I know I cannot do this all on my own and I need the Lord's help more than anything, because I cannot do it in my own strength, I need His - more than mine.
To God be the glory. Amen.
God is always good. He uses everything for good! Freedom is right around the corner for you!
wow this video literally came at the moment it needed to. I havent prayed for two weeks, started sinning again and falling back into depression. I felt empty, suicidal and nothing could satisfy me. All of a sudden i picked up my bible started reading and listening to worship music today, i opened youtube and your video popped up and i knew god wanted me to watch it. Thank you and keep posting and making these videos youre doing amazing work.
Personal proof that God will meet you where you are. Keep holding onto His hand
Jules, God loves you so much!!! He’s so proud of you and cheering you on!!! Keep going. You have the authority to stomp on darkness and let God’s light shine into your life. Proud of you for picking up your Bible. Never lose hope! 💞
Exactly!! 💯💯
God is good!
Hay sister in Christ I'm also a Christian and yes I have a back story I'm also a back sliding Christian but when I did decide to give my life to the holy spirit I'm practically his my Christian faith is@@ItsGabbySings
So good!! God is so merciful, working through the intricate details of our lives to get us back to alignment with Him 🙏🏽
Yesss 💯💯💯
thank u so so much for this. i have been literally grieving today over sinning and being stuck in a sin. i feel so weighed down by this. thank u for not addressing me/all of us in a condescending way and thank u for sending this message without planting seeds of anxiety and fear. so many christians talk down to other christians and it sends me into depression and spiralling. it only feeds the enemies attacks. but this didn't. i love this video already and i am only a minute and a half in. you're a very calming persona. thank u.
Christians shouldn’t talk down to others because God doesn’t do that to us. You are so loved and God can bring anyone out of any place no matter how dark or deep. There is always hope and miracles around every corner. Thanks for watching. 💖
Yes I need prayer--i'm backslidden.....I have money troubles but they are my fault-but don't waste prayers on me-instead pray for my brothers SAL & PETER who need Jesus.
Its those subtleties girl, its those subtleties. Wow, absolutely beautiful message. Lets press forward on being intentional! You have just gained a subbie from sunny South Africa! Sending LOTS of love 🌸🌴🌻
Intentionality is everything!! Yay honored to have a subscriber from South Africa!! 😍 welcome!!
The Lord knew I needed to hear this. As a new Christian the shame, condemnation and sadness I’ve felt recently has been so heavy. Thank you, I pray that The Lord uses you and this video to reach anyone feeling the way I’ve been feeling.
I totally understand that feeling. Praying for your journey through this!! 🙏☺️ there is always more in the kingdom!
such a powerful word..soo true..thank you for sharing this
Thankyou so much for this...
Much needed 🙌🏼🔥
Glad this helped 🙌
Amen. 🙏

Hi
Hi! 🤩
How are you doing?
@@ItsGabbySings how are you?
then you just remember that its a free gift. not sure why you want your house to burn tho. yeah you did not do anything for the free gift that God gave. and you dont need to do anything, especially law works, to please God. please dont try to please God. not with your flesh law works. enemy, that who knows, wants to burden you with law knowledge of tasks. dont work for them or believe them. dont fear them. avoid them. love is not a command. love is God. so dont burden yourself even with the highest command. only for teaching. dont do anything by force.
