BACKSLIDING

BACKSLIDING

Luke 9:62 Jesus told him, "Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God."

The devil lies to so many people that they can constantly jump in and out of holiness. You will be locked out!

It is more dangerous for a person who knows about holiness to go back to the world than for that one who does not know about holiness and does the things of the world. You already know the truth and for you to keep jumping back and forth,it means you are not decided whether you want God or Satan. Anytime, your life can end because the Lord has already given you a chance to follow Him but you are choosing to live a double life.

Don't be comforted by those you are seeing doing worldly things because you are not at the same level with them. If they were to die, they would go to a better section of torment but the centre of Hell would be reserved for you, where those who are there knew the Lord but rejected Him are.

The Lord showed me a certain woman about to get on a bus. That bus was blue in colour and so it was Heaven bound. There was a conductor by the door of the bus urging people to quickly get in because the bus was about to leave (He stands for a Pastor).

However, that woman decided to go and do something QUICKLY before the bus started off. She thought, "I'll just be gone a few minutes and will be back to the bus before it leaves" (Backsliding).

The bus conductor kept calling her,telling her that the bus was leaving any minute but She insisted that she would just be gone for a very short time and would be back before the bus leaves. I heard her say, " Just two minutes or so I'll be back in no time. "

She went away from the bus but then changed her mind thinking, "Its alright, let me not do what I wanted to do,the bus will leave me." But when she went back, the bus was out of sight! It was gone.

She kept asking people where the blue bus had gone and pointing, "Where is the bus that was here just now?" But they told her it had left.

By moving away from the bus, she had compromised. That is why Jesus said that what comes to be seen on the outside is from the heart. Sin starts from the heart. Before she had actually performed the actual sin, she had sinned in her heart. Don't play around with sin.

The bible says that we should stay away from all appearance of evil that is, anything that does not look correct. If you have no peace with something stay away from it.

She kept wondering how the bus could have moved so fast that it was out of sight when it had just left a second ago! The bible tells us that the rapture will be happen in a FLASH and in the TWINKLING of an eye,1 Corinthians 15:52.

She went on the Highway and started waving a blue cloth up in the air hoping that the bus would see her and stop but only other buses kept coming. The Lord showed me that she was waving a blue cloth but I noticed it looked dusty and not ironed. It was blue(heavenly) because that is where she was supposed to go in the first place but she had dirtied it and made it wrinkled. If we take holiness for granted, we will cry and pray after the rapture has happened but it will be of no use. We will wave up our blue cloth to show that we were also heaven bound but it will be too late.

Matthew 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I NEVER KNEW YOU. Away from me, you evildoers!’

I saw that she changed routes and went to another Highway hoping that her blue bus would see her there if it had passed that way but it did not come. Instead, only counterfeit buses(false doctrines and religions) kept coming. One looked like her blue bus but she could tell it was counterfeit because some paint had come off and some parts of the bus were hanging from it. It was not in proper order.

I saw demons in Human form all around her and they were laughing in a mocking way. Then one said, "If you have missed the blue bus, just get on that one." The bus the demon was pointing at was yellow in colour and it was facing in the opposite direction from where the blue bus had gone. Yellow stands for human reasoning. That is, letting the flesh and carnal thinking rule. It was also headed in the opposite direction from the bus which had gone to Heaven and so it was headed for Hell.

I have also noticed from what the Lord shows me that demons always seem to have an alternative when you miss God's promise. For example, when that woman missed the Great Banquet which I wrote about in one of my posts, a demon told her, " If you have missed the Great Banquet, you can go to that one"
That is the banquet of Satan. Never listen to Satan's tricks. If you miss Heaven, it is only Hell. There is no middle ground. All they want is for you and I to go to Hell.

If we keep looking back, we will all be like that woman who missed the Heavenly bus. Jesus had earlier said, " Don't think those in Hell are foolish. They were human just like you! They talked about me like you and prayed to me just like you! But they kept jumping from me to the world and back again. Death found them outside."

Let us ask for the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
