#47 - Close the Distance | James 4:8 | The Turning Point

You ever feel distant from God but you don’t really know when it happened? You didn’t wake up one day and decide: “I’m done with God.”You just drifted. And now you feel disconnected. Not because God moved. But because you did.Closeness with God is not automatic. It’s intentional. It is a pursuit. “Draw near to God, and He WILL draw near to you.” That’s not complicated. But it is BOTH confronting and comforting.3 KEY TAKEAWAYS PURSUE — TAKE A STEP TOWARD GOD. You don’t drift toward God—you drift away from Him.PROMISE — GOD RESPONDS TO PURSUIT. God responds to movement. Not perfection. Not performance. Movement.PRESENCE — NEARNESS CHANGES EVERYTHING. You don’t just get information. You get presence.You don’t have to stay distant, you can step closerWord before world. Get into the Word before you let the world get into you. A Few Tips:10 Minutes in the Word a day before anything else. 5 Minutes of honest prayer. Remove one distraction that has been replacing the LordDo the last thing Jesus told you to do. You are only as close to Jesus as you want to be.Send us Fan MailBook Derek Griffon to Speak at your next event https://www.derekgriffon.com/invite
