Your habit? Hosea 11:7; And my people are bent to backsliding from me. Who? The ones that are blessed. Galatians 4:9; But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, where unto ye desire again to be in bondage? Jonah 1:3; But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarsius (a city in the opposite direction of Nineveh. Ships famous for it's possessions.) from the presence of the Lord, ( your prayer life, your studying your word and your assembling of yourselves.) and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, (you buy back into it.) and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. THE AWFUL CONSEQUENCES OF BACKSLIDING! v4; But the Lord sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken. (That's the Lord way of saying) Jeremiah 3:14; Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; For I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: (Read v15) What mercy! Apostle
