Why is God Far Away?

Күн бұрынWhy is God Far Away?
"Why, Lord, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?" Psalm 10v1
Things that can cause God to feel far away:
1. Busyness.
Our overloaded schedules can crowd out time with God. (Lk 10v38 - 42). Busyness isn't next to godliness. In fact, our crammed calendars can cause us to miss connecting with God daily.
2. Stuff.
In Mt 19v16-22, Jesus urged a man to sell all he had and follow him, but the man went away sad because he had great wealth. So, if our hearts wander after more and more stuff, we will have little room for God. (Mt 6v21)
3. Sin.
Lingering sin in our lives can still stand in the way of present fellowship with God. Fortunately, when we confess our sins, repent, and obey God, we will feel the Father's love and personal presence once again. (1 Jn 1v9)
4. Tests.
Sometimes God allows off seasons of spiritual wilderness to strengthen our faith. 2 Chronicles 32v31 says that God withdrew from Hezekiah to test him. Tests reveal and prepare. So, tests and trials, purify our faith and prepare us for new assignments. God’s silence is not God’s absence.

This is the hardest fasting I have done. My family and I have been spiritually attacked so many times this past two weeks it’s been so hard so I will start over it wasn’t this hard last year last year I had to do the whole 30 days because of how many times I cheated, but may God give me the glory the peaceand the wheel to finish this 21 day fest in Jesus name

Home stretch everyone!!!!!! This is my first 21-day water fast and these last few days have been rough. Working back to back 16 hour double shifts on Saturday and Sunday with only a few hours of sleep in between. Came back to work again this morning for 8 hours with only a few hours of sleep again, but God has been keeping me. Staying well hydrated, and using wisdom by taking my Fasting electrolyte drops when I feel the need to. My wife and I are looking forward to what God has in store for me and my family at the Finish line. (She's fasting from a few things since she's nursing and can't do a water fast). Glory Glory glory! God is so good. 🙌🏼

Pastor Vlad I was in same situation. I lived with parents, overworked and made too much money for a 20 yr old that I had enough to pay for wedding when I got married at 21, bought furniture etc and once I got money, I felt like “now what?” There is too much business and no time for God and this empty feeling inside regardless of how much money I made as a young adult. It took me a while to come back to God as I used to be when I was a teenager. We need God in every moment.

I also request that I get prayers for my short term memory..it's noticeably worse some days.. but most times I can manage it.. something i lost today helped me realised how much it bothers me that I can't remember.. and I know it's not the item itself because I never care about things too much when i actually lose them in a sense of remembering where or what happened to them like if it broke or something im very accepting immediately.. but when i misplace and know theyre there somewhere because i remember bits n pieces of where i had them last but then i get very confused cause if i cant find them in the area i remember seeing them last i get flustered.. trusting the holy spirit to help me find them but i get very upset even after finding the item beacuse, "i cant remember that little detail of where I placed it." I kinda think it's from drugs i used to take.. im only 24 and I'm hoping i can manage with this already bad memory thing goin on .. my own fault of course.. but please pray I no longer want this damage in my 🧠 to be lingering on any longer 🙏

@@Briellew_99 I will definitely add ur memory to my prayer list! I too forget things all day long, and I’ve been praying for the Lord to make me more responsible/give me better habits when it comes to my stuff. It seems that ur issue is more biological than habit based though. Plz lift up my forgetfulness as well ❤

I connected with you Pastor Vlad when you talked about being obsessed with saving money for your wedding and being so proud of yourself. That is me but I have been letting go more and more each day as I know God will take care of my family financially, He always has. My husband is not good with financial matters so I felt I had to be the one to make sure we are financially stable. I started this fast (my first) but could not do the complete water fast. I listened to a sister in Christ who said she was doing one meal a day fast, so that is what I have been doing. Pastor Vlad, each day I listen to you, it's a new revelation for me. Every time I think you're done with me, you hit me with something new (lol ). I have learned so much listening to you. Thank you for blessing me each day with encouragement. God bless you and your ministry.

Thank you, Vlad! You inspired me to do my first 21 day fast. When it got rough (dizziness and feeling like I might pass out), I added some electrolytes to my water. The last week I added some bone broth. Very helpful! But I got through it and I’m thankful for all God has done through this fast. Praying now for my marriage because the enemy is really attacking it. But I know he’s mad over my obedience to God and trying to hurt me how he can. But Adonai already has the victory! Praising Him. I will definitely be supporting your ministry, as I feel like you have been my pastor for the last couple years. Words cannot express the difference you’ve made in my life. You’re one of the few pastors who preaches the true gospel, and I so appreciate the way you stay grounded and balanced. Thank you for the difference you’re making!

I'm so happy to come across this video. I've fasted the whole of February, with no water and no food because of this reason and seeing other people who have also been fasting during the same period for the same reason really strengthens my faith and is a relief that maybe God will show His face soon and pour His Holy Spirit over my soul.
