Do you ever feel a complete distance from God and not know why?
Do you believe God answers all prayers?

Thanks

Hello scubadog3... :)

Yes..there times when I feel distanced from God..but I thank the Lord that I do not walk by feelings but by faith..

Yes..God answers all prayers..either yes or no.. :)

Like when Paul prayed for God to take away the thorn in his side three times, God said that His grace was sufficent for him.. :)

In Jesus Most Precious Name..
With Love..In Christ.. :)

This is a hard quetion for me to answer right now, because God is requiring something from me which is hard for the "world" man to do. Yes, you can feel disassociated from God-there are days that it's like that, where you feel the Holy Spirit just isn't there. What you have to do is find a quiet spot, go there, and just get into God. Talk to Him, because He is ALWAYS there. If something is right for you, God will answer your prayers-in time. He may have to move things around to give you what you want, but if it's right for you, it will come.

God does not distance Himself from us,
but we can distant ourselves from Him
It can be lack of faith in Him
or sin.

More things are wrought through prayer than this world dreams of.
The Lord answers our prayers, but we should also pray in relation to His will and not our own. Also, God answers in His time and not ours. God has his own perfect calender.
There have been times in the past when I have prayed and wanted something to happen immediately. Later, the Lord has answered, and I have realised that if the answer had come in my time, then it would have been the wrong time. This is all about trusting the Lord.

Yes I have felt a complete distance from God on more than one occasion, but then I simply remind myself where God said his spirit doesn't stir in me at all times. I also remember the fact that often times when I feel this way, its simply Satan who wants me to live according to my feelings instead of according to the word. And yes, God does answer every prayer, sometimes his answer is Yes, sometimes its No, and sometimes its Wait.

First, I wish I knew if you really understood what`s " a true born again believer" . In our world , they `re fewer than expected . For me , this expression signifies someone "left out all that`s back to him , and looked forward to His Lord`s , Jesus Christ , promise ". Shortly , someone that lives in and for Jesus . For such people , " world is being dead to them , and them to world " . Clearly such people never feel complete distance from God , even if they have any moments of doubt , or sufference . ( Peter himself felt this way , and he was an apostle . ) But , "God doesn`t leave His own " , and He will give him ( or her ) a sign , or real help to pass over the situation. Anyone had such moments in his ( or her ) life , but real believers passed over them .
On the other side , God allows the existence of these moments in His children`s lives as temptations , or trials . All the saints and believers passed through them , and this way they obtained " eternal life " . I myself had " black moments" of doubt and denial , and much more , but I was cured by His grace .
As for the answer to prayers , I believe , and I felt it into my life , that He always answers the ones who belong to Him , but in the way He considers the best . If the request was made for people`s spiritual and material good , He will fulfil it . If not , He will give them what`s real good , even if the people didn`t know it .Or , He will answer the request later , at the proper moment , according to His will .

Be born again of the Water and the Spirit and all these questions will be answered.

Acknowledge you are a sinner and ask God to forgive you(most important but most difficult step - many people think they are perfect because they were infant baptized).

Believing that Christ died for our sins - and resurrected assuring us eternal life by resurrecting with Him.

You get a new heart covered by the blood of Christ to cover all our past and future sins .

Otherwise we can not enter the present of the Holy and Righteous God ( Bible said - even a dot of sin will prevent us from entering God's Presence).

Be Baptized to be obedient to God as Christ Himself did.

Immersion more correctly portrays death and resurrection.

When you are resurrected with Christ - you will never die again for ever.

When one day your physical body dies, you soul goes to heaven, you do not need to be asleep and wait for the judgment day.

Judgement day is only for unbelievers who will sleep till judgement day to be judged.

Compare the Salvation plan of this Loving God with all other fake gods.


Dare mock Him and you will sleep when you die. Don't be mislead by the words -- REST IN PEACE ...

He is always there and here with us; He never sleeps. He does answer prayers, but it is on His time. Sometimes we ask for things that will not be for our best interest, and He knows it. Sometimes He holds of, because it not the right time. He is always on time believe me, I have been there to the point that I wanted to commit suicide, but because He was in my life, I know that He loves me inspite of all the evil things I do, and have done, but I know that He is working in my life when I talks to me in my soul telling me don't go that way, go this way. It may seem that He is at a distant, but He is right here all the time. We general leave Him, He never leaves us. There may be a lesson needing to be learned about patients.

There is a saying, if you feel far from God who moved? sometimes we focus on things in our own knowledge and not give it to God,Jesus says He will never leave us nor forsake us, he is closer than a brother.
If we pray according to the Word of God, he will answer, the word says God will not answer prayer if we pray amiss. Hope this helps.

you're dealing with trials on your existence and place your self below large condemnation. The word says that there is now no condemnation to those who love God who walk no longer after the flesh however the Spirit. So in case you have been strolling interior the flesh once you committed this sin then all you truthfully could do is call on the call of the Lord and he will forgive you and save you from those situations. in case you probably did some thing which you're able to admit to your mom and dad approximately by way of fact the Lord has informed you to try this then circulate to them and humble your self. you will locate the peace you so desire once you face issues head on like that. The peace is in Jesus and all you're able to do is believe Him. you're no longer a fool. you're one in each and every of God's toddlers and He loves you. tell devil to get at the back of you and do the component that God calls for of you-repent and turn out of your sins.

1) the world overwhelms us at one point or other.
2) yes. all prayers. Not always in the way we like or in the way we expect. It's a matter of alignment of wills, and make sure you want what you pray for, and make sure you are specific.
