About this message

Have you ever felt like God is distant, even though you believe? In this Wednesday Bible Study at Living Word Chapel, Deacon Gbogo Adebayo-Ige explains why it matters that God feels real, and seven reasons He sometimes doesn't: living by feelings instead of faith, knowing about God without knowing He lives in you, not acting on the Word, not seeing Him as a good Father, guilt and sin consciousness, the lies of the enemy, and a scattered mind. God has not moved. He closes with practical ways to make God real every day: focus on the finished work of Christ, practice His presence, talk to Him in ordinary moments, and remove the distractions.
