Why doesn’t God hear me?

It was spring. Everything around woke up and came to life after the winter. Warm sunshine and this riot of colors beckoned for adventure. He met her. Suddenly, an affair began. His wife and two small children were waiting for him at home. But the feelings grew hotter and drew him to meet his lover. He started coming home later, and forgot his Sunday services at Church and seminary as well. For a while, he also forgot God. After all, the new love was more real, tangible, hot. He was about to plunge headlong into new feelings, but woke up from the scandals with his mistress. Now he had a small child on the side, a lot of debts, and at home there were an eternally dissatisfied wife, two small children who were almost growing up without their father... and a silent God, whom he had betrayed. He tried to get it all back to services at Church. He was on his knees for a long time, prayed for hours, but didn’t feel God’s presence. There was a stone in his soul that would not leave. It seemed that God was forever silent ... This is a classic scenario about how the devil deceives people. Why is it so? You came to God for the first time, repented and received complete freedom from sins, felt God’s presence in life, satan, demons and other impure entities left you, the healing of diseases came. And then you said: “I no longer need a church and I don’t need a pastor, because I can get by on my own, I already know how to read the Bible, how to pray.” And you keep repenting, you keep praying, but it just doesn’t work anymore. Satan doesn’t leave, but attacks even more strongly, life is full of demons, fears, depressions, problems remain... All because the Holy Spirit left, God has already become an enemy. The apostle Paul wrote: It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. This is the root of your problem. If you have already learned once what the grace of God is, God saved you and forgave your sins, but then you fell away from the church, began to sin and turned into a Pharisee, just prayers no longer work in your life. Jesus lived in your heart, and then sin was allowed to enter that heart. Question: Will Jesus remain in a heart where sin has settled? No. When you are proud, hypocritical and do not repent of it, you crucify Jesus in your heart. It seems that you have remained believers in God, but you no longer feel the Power of God and you cannot save anyone, especially yourself. There is already another leaven in your life. Discontent, pride, hypocrisy, condemnation, hatred, discord, selfish ambition, dissensions… What to do? If you understand that you are in this situation, there is a solution for you! The Apostle Paul says: Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God. But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned. The solution for you is to become fertile soil, to humble and connect with the people of God who bear fruit for the Kingdom of God. Become a part of the living Apostolic Church in order to be on the territory of the Kingdom of God and crush the kingdom of darkness! Then GRACE will work in your life. After all, Grace comes on humility, not on the thorns of pride: your talents, superior intellect or great opinion of yourself. Everything is determined by the fruits. This is what Jesus Christ said, “Whoever does not gather with me scatters”. Therefore, ask yourself the question: how many souls have you taken from the kingdom of darkness, how has your ministry grown, how is the church growing? And join those people who are sent, called and chosen by God, who are the clear representatives of the Kingdom of God and bear fruit for God. If you listen to such people, then the Spirit and Grace that are in their life will come into your life! Subscribe to our telegram channel Saltanenko and join our international mission!
