Are you struggling to feel close to God? đ¤ In this message, we uncover the truth: God is not far, you may just be distracted. Walking through Matthew 5:1â3, weâll see how Jesus reveals the secret of intimacy with God: becoming âpoor in spirit.â True intimacy happens at the spirit levelânot in our bodies, not in our emotions, but in surrendering the deepest part of us to Him. Weâll look at the difference between the Old Covenant system and the New Covenant system of the Kingdom of Heaven under Jesus, and why intimacy with God isnât earned itâs a gift of grace. Weâll also confront the three major distractions that block intimacy: deception, pain, and the past. Each one weighs down our spirit and can distract us from experiencing God. Jesus calls us to empty ourselves so we can truly experience His presence. If youâve ever asked, âWhy does God feel far away?â this episode will help you replace the lie of distance with the truth of His nearness.
