4 * HOW TO COME BACK WHEN YOU ARE DOWN*
Psa.
51:1-19
Intro: This Psalm came about as a result of David's sin with Bathsheba.
He
committed adultery, then in a effort to cover that up, he committed murder.
After a
while, David was confronted about his sin by Nathan the prophet.
It was only after
his sins were made public that David chooses to repent~/ It was during this time of
repentance and soul searching that David penned this Psalm.
In these verses, he
expresses the heartfelt need of a believer to be right with God.
To make this personal, let me say that Satan tempts us to sin by telling us,
“You can get by with it!”;
or “No one will ever know about it!”
Then, when you
give in to him and sin, he says, “You'll never get away with it, everyone is going to
find out!”
If you are saved, the devil knows that he cannot have your soul, but he
does seek to get you down, discouraged and defeated.
He delights in leading
Christians into a backslidden condition and then convincing them that they will
never be able to get back up again.
Thank God, the devil is a liar!
I know I am speaking to people who are
down spiritually.
You used to faithfully serve God, but now your service is limited
to 1 hour a week.
You have believed the lie and now you are down.
In fact, it
would be safe to say that you area backslider.
Now, Satan tells you that you have
thrown it all away and can never get back what you have lost.
He is a liar!
The
Bible plainly teaches us that we can come back when we are down.
It tells us how
and we need to look at that today.
I trust that you will be able to get back up today.
Allow me to share with you “How to come back when you are down.”

*THE CAPACITY FOR SIN IN THE SAINT*
A.

Rom.
6:14; 1 Cor.
10:13
B.
Any saint who claims total sinless perfection is in a terrible state of self-
deception - 1 John 1:8-10.
C.
Sin cannot take away our salvation, but it does tear us down spiritually and
emotionally.
As long as we occupy these bodies, there will the capacity for
sin - Ill.
Even David - Acts 13:22.

forget it.

Sorrow will
heal, because it is a clean wound.
