The Has-Been Christian Doesn't Want Truth

The former Christian used to attend church, read the Bible daily, talk with family and friends about God, watch what kind of programming he allowed his eyes and ears to experience, but not anymore!

Too many issues over the years have affected his mind, body and spirit to the point that God has no significant place in his life anymore.  He may still believe a Creator exists, but as for a personal relationship with Him, the Has-Been believer isn't interested.  God and his people are not permitted to permeate his private or public life with God-talk, godly events and anything else deemed spiritual.

When the Christ believer approaches the Has-Been believer about his or her negative ways, the individual most likely will not receive the Believer's admonition unless God has prepared his heart already.  But if He hasn't, the rebellious man or woman will be most likely offended that his or her sinful ways are being called out.  If this is the case, the believer may encounter a demonic attack which may result in cursing, threats, or violent acts.  Use caution when talking to former Christ followers about their past spirituality.
