Why does God feel distant?

Isaiah 7:14 - Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with Child and bear a Son, and she will call His name Immanuel.

Hebrew = ִֵָּלאוּנמע
Greek = Ἐμμανουήλ

Emmanuel = God WITH Us

How you will GROW in your NEXT STEP with God today is…
drawing near to help others come near

…Since the Garden

Genesis 3:8-9 NIV
Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as He was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

But the Lord God called to the man, "Where are you?"

What you do separate of God
distances yourself from God.
A. Misplaced Desires

Genesis 3:6a NIV
When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom…

B. Mis-focused Vision

Genesis 3:7a NLT
At that moment their eyes were opened, and they suddenly felt shame… to cover themselves.

C. Mistaken Identity

Genesis 3:10 NIV
He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid… so I hid."

1. Know God is With You

Genesis 1:26a NIV
Then God said, "Let Us make mankind in Our image, in Our likeness…”

2. Look For Those Who Aren’t With God

Matthew 1:23 NLT
“Look! The virgin will conceive a Child! She will give birth to a Son, and they will call Him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’”

Stop trying to cover yourself for being separate,
andbe the coverage for someone is separated.

3. Step Forward to Say; “Here I Am”

Baptism is an important step of obedience that shows others we have personally trusted Jesus for our salvation. When Christians are baptized, they are submerged under water to identify with the death and burial of Jesus and raised out of the water to identify with His resurrection.
