WHEN GOD HIDES HIS FACE

Over the years, people have been limiting God in their lives and when they do, God hides His face from them. See the following Scriptures.

Psalm 78:41:

Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

Matthew 13:57-58:

And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Mark 6:5-6:

And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.

The above Scriptures show how people applied break on God. There are many areas in which a man can shut out God in his life. A man can prevent God from working in his favour. He can prevent Him from working in his business, spiritual life and handwork.

At a crusade, a sister came for prayers. After she had told her story, four men of God prayed in holy anger with her. As they were praying, they noticed that the woman was not saying 'Amen.' One of them opened his eyes and saw that the woman was just looking at them. He then asked, "Madam, are you not the one we are praying for? Why are you not saying Amen?" The woman replied that her problem was above prayer. "Then, why did you come here for prayers knowing full well that prayers cannot solve your problem?" the man queried. "I just wanted you to try", she retorted. This is an example of how to shut out God in one's affairs. The woman had shut out God in her life and could not expect Him to work for her.

Many years ago, I prayed every week for a sister who had asthma. God touched her and healed her. One day, she was brought back to the fellowship, wrapped up in clothes. I inquired, "What happened again?" She answered, "I don't know, the thing has started again." We prayed and she became okay. It took me some time before I could recognise what her problem was. After her healing, when people asked her, "How are you now?" She said, "I am not well". Even after God had healed her, this remained her answer. By doing this, she shut God out of her life.
