EVA:Evidences of turning away from the Lord's will in our lives

(Revelation 2:2-5)

   (1) Losing our sense of dependence of needing God when our needs are
satisfied; therefore, feeling self-sufficient. A common cause of
"backsliding." (See Philippians 4:4-7,19)

   (2) When our delight in the Lord is no longer as great as our
delight in someone or something else. (Psalm 37:3-5)

   (3) When our thoughts during leasure moments do not reflect on the
Lord and Lordship of Jesus Christ. (Psalm 1:2-3)

   (4) When we claim to be "only human" and easily give in or give up
to those things that we know displease the Lord Jesus and are, thus,
sin. (Mark 12:30-31; John 14:21-24)

   (5) When we view the commands of Christ as restrictions to our
happiness rather than expressions of His Love. (Micah 6:8; John 15:9-11)

   (6) When we no longer desire and look forward to our time alone with
Jesus. (Psalm 42:1-2)

   (7) When we fail to share Christ and His Word with others because we
feel "unprepared," "inadequate," Ashamed, afraid of rejection, or by
refusal to obey. (Mark 8:38; Jonah 1)
