Beloved these are trying times and it is of necessity we become wiser than the children of darkness. Today's steemchurch bulletin edition will tell us things that chase us away from God's presence.

“Psalm 16:11 King James Version (KJV)
11Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”
The presence of God is where we experience times of refreshing, it is where wisdom enters the inner man, it is where God writes His law into our heart, it were we have joy and gladness because no sorrow is allowed to enter His gate.
The presence of God is where we are cleansed and the joy of salvation is restored. It is where a right spirit is renewed within us, It is where instructions, messages, teachings, revelations, messages, teachings, information, answers, unlimited knowledge are received. The presence of God is where what has been perverted, twisted and damaged by the world are repaired.
As we know those things that chase us from His presence we may be richly blessed in the name of Jesus, amen.
DISTRACTIONS THAT CHASE GOD
“Hebrews 12:2 King James Version (KJV)
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
DISTRACTION
A mind that lacks discipline is the biggest obstacle to God's presence.LACK OF INTIMACY WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
We should treat the Holy Spirit as a person. He is God's representative on earth. We have to talk to Him the way we talk with human beings
“The grace of our Lord Jesus Christian and the sweet fellowship of The Holy Spirit are very important.”
When we relate well with the Holy Spirit we come close to God.UNHOLY LIVING
We should live a life void of sin. Every unclean living takes us away from God. These days a lot of Christians are deep in cleverly concealed sins and think God does not see us, we are joking with hell fire. We should practise holy living.UNORDERLY PRAYER
This when we pray for everything at the same time, this is not good, we are asking God for everything at once when we do this, it distracts God from us. God loves orderliness, asking God one thing or question at a time in prayer brings us closer to God.LACK OF SPEAKING IN TONGUES
When we pray in the spirit our faith is built up. The Bible says,
“1 Corinthians 14:2 King James Version (KJV)
2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.”
Praying in tongues helps us to focus on God, it makes us pray according to the will of God and destroys distraction.
Beloved, we have all the opportunity to disband this devises of distraction standing against us. Once we do this, having a dialy quiet time with God, memorising the words of God, thirsting and having hunger for the things of God, totally surrendering to Jesus will breach every distance between us, presence of God and God himself.
God bless you all for reading.
PRAYER
- O God, refresh me with your touch, in the name of Jesus, Amen.
- Arrows of prayerlessness fired into my life through the dream, backfire in the name of Jesus, Amen.
- Presence of God overshadow my life in Jesus name, Amen.

Romans 8:11 - 17 (NKJV) 11But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. 12Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” 16The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

@shahabshah recommends we as a whole read "The Power of Your Mind" by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome.
It is exceptionally useful as respects personality administration.
Much thanks to You for your commitment.

Great post @teechizzy on how we, as Christians, can build our most holy faith by fellowship and having intimate relationship with our father through the help of the Holyspirit.
Praying in tongues like you've rightly said, allows us to pray the way God wants to pray (praying without limit), while our faith is being built up.
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards.
