Four destructive habits that keep Christians weak. Let me start with something you need to hear. Many Christians are not losing to the devil because he's stronger.

They're losing because they have habits, quiet ones, daily habits.

And these habits are draining their strength little by little until they have no more fight left.

Hebrews chapter 12 verse 1 tells us, throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily ensnars. This means there are things in your life right now that are not just bad choices,

that actually weights, they are slowing you down.

A weak Christian is easily discouraged, easily tempted, prayerless, inconsistent,

powerless in spiritual battle.

And the scary part is you can love Jesus and still be spiritually weak.

Today we're actually going to help you to identify four habits that will keep you spiritually weak.

And if you will break them, you will see your faith, you will see God's power and your joy rise to a whole new level.

The first one is the habit of neglecting prayer in the Word.

Jesus made it very clear, Matthew 26, verse 41.

Watch and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing,

but the flesh is weak. The truth is most Christians don't fall into sin because they woke up

one day and decided to walk away from God. They fell because they drifted. They stopped guarding

their time with God. Think about it. If you go for days without food,

your body will become weak, shaky and slow. The same thing is true spiritually.

The Word of God is your food. Prayer is your drink. It's like oxygen. Without them,

you will get weak. And here is the deception that if you skip prayer and the word for a day,

you might not feel different. But see, over time, your sensitivity to God will be dull.
