There comes a point when God will say ENOUGH.. NO MORE FORGIVENESS.
There may be a problem with what I call "repenting down to the bottom."
That is not a biblical phrase. It comes from my personal experience.
Sometimes, a Christian may not confess down to the real core of the sin. His confession is rather superficial.
You don't think Papa knows that sometime you didn't
REALLY repent ? You didn't really get to the bottom of your matter.
Let a few more failures happen.
Let a little more reaping of the corrupt crop come up in your life.
Eventually, you will confess "down to the bottom".
Lord Jesus, this thing is SERIOUS, I cannot tolerate to blow this again. The cost has gone up. The consequences have become more serious. The mess caused has become intolerable. Lord I am willing now to forsake this thing. Lord have mercy and forgive me. Save me !!
It is true that sometimes your confession might be SUPERFICIAL.
My experience is that eventually you will so hate that failure that you can no longer tolerate for Jesus to not REIGN and RULE your heart in that area.
If you are playful and superficial in your confession the day may come on this side of your departure, that you so hate that reoccurring failure that you confess down to the very bottom of your heart.
i could say more about this.
