Sometimes in our Christian life, we know for sure that backsliding is not an option but making an intentional effort to experience a higher dimension of Jesus Christ,is where the problem lies. Your walk with Christ Is always determine by how far you intend to go with Him. When it comes to your relationship with God, God is waiting on you to make a decision and He will help you execute it
Our background, physical environment and culture has made a way for a lot of things to be established and rooted in our lives. The way you were natured came as a default setting but there comes a stage in your life where you have to make some choices with eternity in mind
Your decision will require you to seek knowledge and understanding about the things of God: that is the learning process. You cannot go through your learning process without the help of the Holy spirit. The word of God is the manual required for your learning process. Any form by which the unadulterated word of God comes, you are suppose to open your spirit to it as you apply it

The unlearning process will require you to take some difficult decisions like unfriending some close friends, getting rid of bad habits or sometimes even changing your church and sacrificing hours to spend time in the presence of God etc. Whiles going through these processes, know that at first it won’t be easy and convenient, getting rid of habits developed in years and in built temperaments, will surely not be a rosy task.
