I am afraid that is far from being the case since God hasn't been answering your prayers even up til now for you see, God is not a liar at all. That feeling you had before now that God was with you has just been that, a feeling.... generated by chemicals in your brain and nothing more. God being with you or not has nothing to do with feelings or emotions. And as for where you missed it, well, you first need to understand and accept what God said about this because you can move forward toward Him or continue where you have been all this while.

You see, Scripture states that God does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; the pleas and requests and every petition, praise, offering, work, plea, sacrifice, etc., of the unrighteous are tainted by their sins(disobedience/unholiness) and are hence an abomination to God. So, what is definite is that even your many pleas for the forgiveness of sins are not answered by God given that God made no special exemptions for that kind of plea. No amount of praying can cause God to change His mind regarding that which concerns the unrighteous by the way. So if you are thinking of prescribing more prayers that only means you really don't understand or know God at all.

God, however, openly bragged about how He only answers the prayers of the righteous; He delights in granting them the desires of their heart meaning that they are those who are loved by Him. For this very reason, Jesus Christ urged His followers to seek first the Kingdom of God and God's Righteousness in order that all things— the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(holiness), answers to prayers included—shall be added on to them. And as Jesus Christ explained in His Gospel, the only way to become Holy, and then also Righteous, is by way of continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, god's Truth and Law in the Kingdom of god - John 8 vs 31 - 36 & John 14 vs 15 - 23. Jesus Christ is the only way. Obedience to the Truth of God is the one and only path to righteousness. No amount of praying and other religious rituals can accomplish that.

God deals indirectly with the unrighteous, the same way He deals with the unbelievers including the wicked and the ungrateful and that is by pouring out His mercy and kindness on them daily. So every time as an unrighteous you feel that God has answered your prayer know that at that same moment, or moments before that, God also provided the same mercy or similar to someone else across the world — or maybe just across from you— who does not even believe in God, nor asked God for anything. So, if answers from God are what you seek, then do what Jesus Christ said you should, which is to seek first the Kingdom of God(holiness), and then God's righteousness, in order that all these things —the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(including answers to prayers) can be added to you.

So, you decide, is it time to stop depending on your brain creating these phantoms which you swim in or do you want to finally work towards updating your state as far as God is concerned in order that God might actually start answering you?

thanks alot, More knowledge and understanding, see I really believed in God, and I tried all my best to follow him, I do make sure I don't involve in any sin or sins, I go to church, am a worker in the house of God, I go through Bible the way I could, I don't joke with anything that as to do with God. So to the best of my knowledge am trying, and still looking forward to know more about him.

First of all, your churches have absolutely nothing to do with God and Jesus Christ. So, until you rid yourself of churchianism, you haven't even begun walking towards God, why? Because the foundation of the religion itself is laid on the doctrines and traditions of men, and Jesus Christ informed His followers that those were nothing but lies wrapped up using His name by these false teachers and false prophets - Matthew 15 vs 1 - 14 & Mark 7 vs 1 -13.

Next, your idea of sin, does it come from the Old Law of Moses, or does it come from the New Covenant and Law in the Kingdom of God? If it comes from the Old Law of Moses, then you have not been walking towards Jesus Christ all this while. You have instead continued to run circles around yourself in religion. You see, the Baptism by water is meant to be a rebirth — born of Water — a transition that involves a complete abandonment and following of the Old Law of Moses and following instead God's New Law and Covenant in the Kingdom of God. Jesus Christ, God's Law in the Kingdom of God, is the New source of Living water(God's Law) you are meant to be born of. So, following the Old Law means you aren't connected to Jesus Christ at all, and are hence still not born-again — born of water(the New Law) and born of SPirit(Of Eternal Life).

hmmmm. It's well.... I don't really understand what you are saying here, pls can you explain more, coz when it come to being born of water and spirit, have passed through that some years ago.

Don't try to pacify yourself in this. If you really want to reach God — and I can assure you that He is reachable and nothing like what you have been imagining — begin today doing as He commands. Over 4 billion people in the world today — religions of Judaism, Catholicism, Christianity, and even Islam — have been hoodwinked by the very false teachers and false prophets that Jesus Christ warned were coming, the antiChrist... That is one proof that God is. If you want to meet and have Him truly live in you, then know it is possible and the best experience ever.
