Get Closer to God!
In a Seals and Crofts song in 1976, “Get Closer” has lyrics that starts off and says, “Darling if you want me to be closer to you Get closer to me…”
God is unchanging, He never Changes in His Eternal Being and Nature, Psalm 55:19, He is Faithful to His Promises; indeed, the Second person of the Holy Trinity, Even Jesus, is unchanging! “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” Hebrews 13:8. God is omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent, our great and immutable, unchanging Unmovable God. The problem is not with God, it lies within our own heart; we are constantly changing, always moving away from God! If you want to be close to God, then get close to Him!
The Believer, in their relationship to the Lord, must make every effort to get closer to God. If you feel distant and disconnected from the presence of the LORD in you relationship with the LORD, then you need to get closer to God! Ask God to search your heart, He will bring to light any object of disconnect that stands in your way of having a right relationship to God! Any Distraction and stumbling block, He will untangle the sin that so easily entangles; and that you may throw off all the weight that weighs you down. He will search your heart, you must seek Him!
The Holy Spirit, who is the Great Comforter, Counselor, and who convicts of sin and Judgment; will search your heart that you may get closer to God!
The Holy Spirit, who is the Great Comforter, Counselor, and who convicts of sin and Judgment; will search your heart that you may get closer to God!
The curse of the sin cursed self in the sin nature, speaks to us in many different voices that would speak words to make us distant from God; Do not listen to its destructive wind.
In order to get close to God, we must repent of the sin that so easily entangles us and keeps us away from the LORD. Draw near to God, in Jesus, and claim the Blood of Jesus to cleanse you of the sin that so easily entangles; that you may be whole again and be drawn closer to God in a right relationship to God through the blood of Jesus!

James 4: 7-10:
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
Psalm 55:19:
God, who is enthroned from of old,
who does not change—
