The flesh is weak even though the spirit is willing. Too often the world rushes in on us. I've also noticed the closer we get to God the more Satan interrupts our lives to keep us from walking in the Spirit. I've had Bible study interrupted so many times that I couldn't start to count them. Trying to research the Holy Spirit for example and finding scriptures in the Bible, the phone will ring, the neighbor will come over, my daughter will need me to take her somewhere, the dog will get sick or the front door bell will ring.
The ability to get the mind to stay focused on hearing and being aware of the Holy Spirit is an exercise that must be practiced and prayed for daily. When I know my soul is following the Holy Spirit is when I recognize His presence in my life in small things. He helped me get over 5 lanes of traffic. He opened up a parking space for me. He quickened my time so I could feel refreshed. He took over my voice and His words came out not mine. He urged me to help a need in someone as well as recognize the need.

Do you have any doubts about the creator? How often do you talk to the heavenly father and ask him for help! Does your flesh yearn for certain things that is not acceptable to the Father? Don't let satan and other demonic entities lead you astray b/c they can if you let them, they strike even harder when you are down in faith and find it hard to maintain that spiritual walk with Christ!! GOD BLESS!

The adversary is very good at his business. Churchianity is a pagan (heathen) religion. Have you accepted YAHOSHUA as your Savior? If not you are trying to live a spiritual life without a head. The Almighty YHVH set up a system. He sent His “Son” YAHOSHUA to die for the sins of mankind so they would not have to. (They could choose to, but did not have to). Any person who chooses not to allow Yahoshua to take care of their sins, chooses to remain attached to their sins. They thus will wind up in the lake of fire which is YHVH method of cleaning this world, and eliminating sin and sinners. The Creator set aside the Seventh day for rest and worship. Yes that is the day usually called “Saturday”. We are not saved by obedience, we are saved by faith. However we are saved FOR obedience. As He said in John 14:15 (and in many other places) “If you love me, keep my commandments.
Churchianity is a pagan religion. The only thing that will change a person is the indwelling savior Yahoshua. Obviously that is rare in this sinful world.

It is possibly because you are coming to your senses and are questioning things in the bible that make no sense to you now, such as the ridiculous claims of some people living to be hundreds of years old. Or perhaps the sheer amount of cruelty and violence that you have read in the bible. It could be any number of things but that thought just comes to mind, the thought that maybe you are finding your beliefs to be empty and downright ridiculous.

Because you are trying too hard.
You can not "not walk with God". God is ever present...God always walks with you. It is a matter of remembering this (your relation/connection).
Remember this and do everything for God...you will be fine.

Because he walks too fast for us.. he keeps changing the rules... sending us commandments, then sending jesus after a while to change everything.. pretty soon he'll send someone else that will make it so that we can only be saved if we stand on one leg and say the alphabet backwards.

Because if it was easy, it wouldn't be worth that much to you.
Think about it. On your deathbed will you say, "I'm sure glad I was able to tie my shoes every day" or "Thank you for your love and grace, God, by which you helped me to follow you all of my days, through good times and bad."

Hi, there are many reasons in todays society that make this harder, growing atheism,attacks from unbelievers,modern trends in behavior and fashion, temptations that come at us daily.
Jesus told us that we would be persecuted for following Him and so it is,but we must hold strong in faith,remember it is not those who inflict the most who will win,but those who endure the most.
Peace to you in Christ.
