If you are walking in victory over willful, besetting sin, and are experiencing the power and grace of the Lord Jesus over it, just as He promised, then spare a thought for your brothers and sisters who are still not experiencing the victory you are experiencing, who are still living in a dead-zone of repeated failure and feel like they are the devil’s football he just kicks around for sport.
Bear one another’s burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2
Whatever victory Jesus has given you is so that you are in a position to be able to intercede for and help your brothers and sisters obtain the victory in Christ, by faith, which is now their birthright in the new birth, the new creation. We have to leave the glory cloud and mountain top of our own blessing and experience and understand that we are blessed to be a blessing to others, to serve them, to bear their burdens. We shouldn’t leave em behind.
If we don’t follow Jesus back down into the valley of despairing people to help them then we will find ourselves alone on the mountain top.

Thanks Br, it has a new perspective for me. Usually I tend to be upset with others (be critical at times) who don’t seem to be progressing as I would like them to. I hope I would be more considerate and patient henceforth and see how I can help them.
thanks
