Let me know what you think!

Do you feel distant from God? Has it been a long time since you were strengthened by His word? If you are wondering, what do I do? Today’s episode is for you - I share three ways you can trust and depend that God will come through for you.

This is episode #3 in our “I Don’t Feel Close to God” series. The first week, we discussed how to feel close to God. Last week we talked about how to hear from God. This week we are going to find out how to depend on God’s strength.

The first way we can depend or trust in God’s strength is to delight in God first. The secret place is literal – have a place you spend time with God. But it is also conditional. Our part has to come first. We must abide in His shadow – the shadow of the Almighty– stay close to Him.

The second way we can depend or trust inn God’s strength is to access the promises He has given to us. God wants us to see Him as our source of protection. God wants us to go to Him first. Psalm 91:15, “He will call upon me and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.”

We confess it aloud because God tells us to do so. If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; Romans 10:9

The third way we can depend or trust in God’s strength: We must speak God’s Word aloud.

“I am shielded only because I have chosen to make You, MY LORD, my place of safety. I have made the Most Hight God the place where I choose to live. Because I made that choice no evil will be able to take me down and no plague or calamity will come near my household. Lord, you also said you would give you angels the charge to guard me in all my ways. They will be me up in their hands, lest I strike my foot against a stone. I will tread on the powers of the enemy and trample him down. You said that because I love you:

You will deliver me from harm.

You said you would set me on high above my problems.

Because I choose to know you intimately by Name, You have promised when I call on you, you will answer me.

You promised to rescue me out of trouble.

You have promised to give me honor

Satisfy me with a long life

Allow me to take hold of Your salvation (Your health, Your healing, Your deliverance, Your protection, and Your provision of my needs.) Amen!

We’ve talked about three ways we can depend on God’s strength:

The first way we can depend on God’s strength: 1. We must delight in God first.

The second way we can depend on God’s strength: 2. We must access the promises God has given to us.

The third way we can depend on God’s strength: We must speak God’s Word aloud.
