Is there a time when you will not be able to find God?

Is there a time when the Lord will not be near to you?

Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him; And to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. (Isaiah 55:6-7 NKJV)

The above verse in Isaiah 55:6, tells us that we should seek the Lord while He may be found and call upon Him while He is near.

Before we explore the “disappearance” of God from someone’s life let us explore when and who God is close to.

Those who are accessible to God

The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit. (Psalms 34:18 NKJV)

A broken heart and a contrite spirit means humility and sincerity. It also refers to the poor, the weak and downtrodden.

God is near to those who have a repentant heart.

God is near to those who call upon Him.

God is near to those who draws near to Him (Psalms 73:28).

God is near to His people through the Lord Jesus Christ who is our High priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 7:17-19).

Those who are alienated from God

God is far from sin. Therefore, you will alienate yourself from God when you practice wicked works (Colossians 1:21).

God is far from you and you cannot find him when you are dead.

The dead cannot praise God (Isaiah 38:18-19). Likewise, you cannot repent when your body is dead.

Is there hope beyond the grave?

There are some people who believe that they can pray for the dead, but that is a useless prayer.

While you are alive there is hope!

You can be reconciled

The scripture says, “call upon the Lord while He may be found and while He is near.”

Therefore, the Lord is near and can be found by anyone who is alive right now.

“For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” (2 Corinthians 6:2 NKJV)

You will always find God now!

Fear not, God’s mercy and forgiveness never ends.

Are you searching for God?

Rest assured, you will find Him now!

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds. You can learn more about Beverley’s life and testimony on her website becomingtheoilandwine.com. You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine. View all posts by Beverley
