EPISODE 859 – ARE YOU HIDING FROM GOD?

ARE YOU HIDING FROM GOD?
“And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.”
Genesis 3:8 (KJV)
As a born-again in Christ, how do you respond to sin?
Does it make you hide yourself from God?
Does it move you away from the things which are of Christ?
Do you feel discouraged from even praying because of your sins?
Your response to sin will determine whether you will walk out of its influence or remain in its snare.
Usually, when people (or legalistic folks) read a statement like: “God doesn’t want you to hide from him. He loves you and has forgiven you of all your sins.”
What they hear is that “God loves your sins. He sees nothing wrong with your sin. Keep doing wrongs and He will always forgive you.”
When they read a statement like “Don’t feel God condemns you. You are eternally saved. You have the righteousness of God in Christ. Stop crying and turn to God’s saving grace.”
What the legalistic will hear is, “God entertains your sins. You don’t have to feel any regret for your mistakes or sins.”
They hear what is in their mind rather than what they are reading. They don’t read to learn, they read to criticise. It’s not surprising because these people read their imagination and thoughts into scriptures.
They don’t pay attention to what the scripture says. They don’t read to understand the scriptures, they read their understanding into the scriptures.
They find it difficult to see what God is saying, they only see what they want God to say or how they want God to speak. They read what they feel and not the reality of God.
Beloved, you don’t have to respond to sins or mistakes based on what you feel. The adversary, who is the accuser of the brethren, takes delight in such a state of guilt.
Every genuine believer will have a feeling of sorrow, regret, and discomfort when they slip into a sinful act. This is because of the love of God at work in them. They understand that their sins and erroneous conduct affect the people around them and don’t represent the character of Christ. Hence, the regret and discomfort.
However, having regret and a feeling of guilt shouldn’t move you away from God’s presence.
To hide from God is the way of Adam.
Adam decided to try his own way of being right and hid himself from God.

This usually happens when you sin or act in error; you become ashamed even to open the scriptures or get into prayer.
You may beat yourself up and sometimes make a promise or vow that you will live right.
This doesn’t mean you have turned to God.
Adam, to cover his nakedness and shame, made a covering from leaves. Leaves?
Without shedding of blood is no remission. (Hebrews 9:22)
No sin can be covered or dealt with by human efforts. Man-made religion teaches righteousness by self-efforts.
But sin and sins are dealt with by blood. This was why Jesus came to die for you. His death dealt with the problem and penalty of sin and became the grounds for the continuous enjoyment of forgiveness.
The emphasis on behaviour or moral conduct doesn’t supply a solution.
There are those who make the excuse that they will spend time to work on themselves, and after they are perfect in their ways, they will get back to God.
This is a trap!
Such a decision will move you away from enjoying God, and you will never get back on track.
“Distress that drives us to God does that. It turns us around. It gets us back in the way of salvation. We never regret that kind of pain. But those who let distress drive them away from God are full of regrets, end up on a deathbed of regrets.” 2 Corinthians 7:10 (MSG)
You can only turn away from your sins when you turn to God.
You cannot make things right on your own. This is why you don’t have to hide from God. God is your Salvation. Your best solution is in God and is God.
Jesus did not come to die for you when you were perfect. He came to die for all men, even when we were in sin.
Don’t turn from God; call upon Him no matter the situation.
“Call upon Me in the day of distress; I shall rescue you, and you will glorify Me.” Psalm 50:15 (Legacy Standard Bible)
Don’t listen to the voice saying:
“Stay away from God, don’t pray, don’t attend Church meetings. Because you have erred”
Don’t listen to the voice of the Accuser; listen to Jesus!
Hallelujah!

Oh Glory to God
Jesus did not justify adultery, fornication, murder, wrong thoughts, dishonour and fraud, but Jesus justified me.
Jesus died for sin and sins so that in His atonement, He will give us grounds to be forgiven of our daily errors. This however, does not mean Jesus loves sin, He does not love it that is why He came to die and provided means for us to have a blessed life.
Therefore, He is the only one that can help the believer walk out of wrong actions and thoughts.
hence, any thought that drives the believer away from God is not Godly.
It intends to draw Him away so that He will have further regrets and end on the death bed with extra regrets.
Stay away from God when you are wrong or go wrong is deadly..it is flirting with death, it is not wisdom.
Wow such a revelation 🤩🤩🤩
Adam hid from God and used leaves to cover his nudeness thinking he was okay and working better on himself but little did he know that he wasn’t covered well so God then had to bring the proper covering that was the death of the lamb(Jesus) and used its wool to make a befitting outfit that made a proper covering of both their sins(spiritual) and their nudity(physical)
How can you stay away from such a provision as this and try to work on your own self thinking that is what will please God. He knows man is weak in himself so he says come to me and he will give you rest he will make all supplies just come to him by believing that he is and can do all things
Thank you Apostle for this great revelation I’m enlightened.
Rom.5.8 But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us. (AMP)
Thank you Apostle Bennie.
This has really blessed me!
I turn to the Lord at all times and in all circumstances.
I enjoy God’s grace.
Through His unfailing grace, I live out His righteuosness.
I don’t permit any mistake or challenge to draw me away from the Lord.
Nothing will ever make me hide from God.
The Lord is my refuge and strength, and I run to him in the day of trouble.
The Lord is the strength of my life.
Glory to God!
Thank you Jesus!
