How do I come to God if I feel far away from him?

We all go through times when our prayers seem ineffective, our worship feels empty, or we feel alone, wondering if God cares or even notices what we’re going through. When those seasons arrive, our old spiritual routines are no longer enough. With all of our activities, worries, and distractions, it’s true that we may have strayed away from God. God has never abandoned us or disowned us, to be sure.

Some of us may believe and feel that God has abandoned us, but this is not the case.

We went our separate ways, leaving him to pursue our own desires. We left him for the job, the car, the high-end gadget, the person, and the happiness we’d been searching for. We must return, just as the prodigal son in Luke 15 did.

God is waiting for you, just like the father of the prodigal son. We won’t be able to find the answer to our wandering by looking within ourselves. We can no longer be selfish when we realize his longing for companionship with us and how difficult it is for him when we abandon him. It may be difficult, but if we are faithful in this life, God promises to cleanse and purify us.This purification enables us to re-establish a healthy relationship with God.

Understanding Destiny Swapping: A Hidden Agenda Over Your Purpose (PART 1)

Have you ever felt like something is off in your life—like you're living a life that doesn’t belong to you? You're talented, passionate, and full of dreams, yet doors remain closed and progress is mysteriously delayed. If so, you may be dealing with something deeply spiritual and often hidden: destiny swapping. In this post, we’ll explore what destiny swapping is, how it happens, signs to look out for, and what you can do to get back and reclaim your God-given purpose. What Is Destiny Swapping? Destiny swapping is a spiritual manipulation where one person’s divine destiny is exchanged, stolen, or traded—often without their knowledge—for another person’s benefit. It happens when dark powers, witches, false prophets, or envious individuals manipulate or hijack the divine plan God originally intended for someone’s life. In simple terms, destiny swapping means you end up living a life that is not yours, while someone else is living the blessings, favor, or opportunities that were m...

Why You Find It Difficult to Recover Your Destiny

Have you ever felt like something precious was stolen from you—your purpose, your dreams, or even your sense of direction in life? Many people go through seasons where they feel lost, stuck, or unable to step into the future they desire. If you’ve been struggling to recover your destiny, there are often deeper reasons behind it. Let’s explore some spiritual and practical factors that might be making it hard for you to walk in your true calling, especially looking at the role of covenants and agreements. 1. Unresolved Spiritual Covenants and Agreements One major reason people struggle to recover their destiny is because of unseen spiritual agreements or covenants, knowingly or unknowingly entered into. These can include: Family covenants: Sometimes ancestors made pacts for protection, wealth, or power that now affect future generations. Personal agreements: Visiting spiritual practitioners, taking part in certain rituals, or even careless words (“I’ll never succeed”) can create spiritu...

Signs That Someone Stole Your Destiny, Identity, or Star

In the spiritual realm, your destiny, identity, and star represent your divine purpose, potential, and the light God placed upon you. These three areas—if hijacked through witchcraft, occult rituals, soul ties, or demonic covenants—can cause intense stagnation, confusion, and hardship in your life. Many people walking through life today are not carrying what originally belonged to them. They’ve been spiritually robbed. If you feel like something is "off" but can't quite explain it, the following signs might confirm what your spirit has been sensing. 1. Chronic Delay and Disappointment Every time a breakthrough seems close—whether it’s a job, relationship, or financial opportunity—it gets delayed or falls through mysteriously. Doors that should open easily shut unexpectedly. 2. Persistent Identity Confusion You no longer recognize yourself. You feel like you’ve lost your drive, passion, and clarity. You find it hard to even describe who you are or what you’re called to do....
