In my opinion, one of the most dangerous things in a Christian’s life is “the slow fade.” The bad thing is it happens so slowly that you don’t usually even feel it happening. When we first accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior we are on an emotional high, some call a mountain top experience. You’re doing the things of God like praying often, reading your bible daily and going to church and tithing weekly. Then the adversary begins his slow and subtle attack. It starts in one area, maybe your prayer life; you begin praying a little less. Or in your bible reading you find yourself skipping days or even weeks without reading or studying your bible. Satan chips away little by little, until at some point you’re so far away from God that it’s easy to simply walk away from him forever without any of the guilt. The best way to protect ourselves from this is to have an accountability partner to share our struggles with and to encourage one another in times of need.
Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.
