What Will Separate Us From The Will Of God?


It’s important to answer this question because a right relationship with God is essential to a good life as well as entry into heaven. There are many things that could separate us from the will of God and we are going to take a deep dive into what they are. So what is it that really separates us from the will of God and how can we overcome it?

Sin separates us from the will of God because it is disobedience to the laws of God. Sin is rebellion against the Kingdom Of God and therefore puts us in an adversarial position toward God and the things of God. Although there are many types of sin, all of them separate us from the will of God.

Separation from God, His Will, or His Kingdom is a place where none of us should ever want to find ourselves. One of the things that separation from God does is cause us not to be able to access the promises and blessings of God. Let’s look at this further and let God’s Spirit speak to us.

How Are We Separated From The Will Of God?

The best example of how sin separates us from God is found in the Garden Of Eden at the beginning of creation. The whole problem in the Garden Of Eden was disobedience. Disobedience is just another form of sin. God requires full and complete obedience from those who follow Him. When Adam and Eve chose to disobey God they were immediately removed from the Garden and access to God. Just as he told Adam and Eve, the devil will tell us that everything is ok because we don’t see an immediate consequence for our sin.

What many of us don’t realize is that sin does have an immediate consequence but it’s in the spirit realm. Yes, there’s a spirit realm that is unseen running parallel to the earthly realm that we all are used to. Many of man’s problems originate in the spirit realm. This is one of the reasons that obedience to God is so important. God knows all things but our knowledge without God is severely limited.

In Matthew 7:21-23 Jesus says, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity”.

Friends we desperately need God’s input to make it in this life. Actually, we can’t make it without God. What we’ve done is adjusted to and learned to live with things that should not even be. A lot of the daily problems that we’ve just accepted as the norm, God could fix in a word. We don’t allow God to fix them because it would call for submission, repentance, and obedience. Many people like their sin and don’t want to give it up, at one point or another we’ve all been there.

What Are The Signs Of Separation From God’s Will

Some of the main signs of separation are:

  • Unanswered prays
  • Fear
  • Doubt
  • Lack Of Power
  • Worry
  • Lack Of Peace

Those who have been born again will understand the above list. Anytime man is separated from the will of God he experiences one or more of the things listed above. This happens without fail because the devil’s whole purpose is to steal, kill, and destroy. The only thing that can keep him from doing so is the Power Of God. When we separate ourselves from God’s Will and Power the devil can have dominion over us. During these times, we begin to be fearful to the point of a lack of sleep. We begin to worry about everything that happens or that might happen. We pray but we doubt before we even get off of our knees.

We tell the devil to get out of our minds but he refuses to leave, a lack of power. Lastly, Anxiety takes over and our peace leaves us to our own devices. Many people try to medicate this, some try to drink it away, and others turn to drugs or something else. All the while Jesus is calling us home to Himself

Is Separation From The Will Of God Permanent?

The good news in all of this is that just like with the prodigal son, God is waiting for us to return back to Him and His Will with open arms. In Psalms 51:17 the Bible says, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise”. The Lord loves us so much that He’s always willing to accept our repentance when we come to Him. The familiar scripture John 3:16 reminds us that, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life”.

For those who are reading this and are tired of being defeated by life and the devil, today can be your day to give it all to God. If you’re tired of having fear, doubt, and unbelief you can leave it all at the cross of Christ. If you want to get rid of worry, anxiousness, and anxiety you can leave it all at the cross of Christ. You don’t have to guess, you can know that you are in the will of God. Jesus said in John 10:10, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly”.

What will separate us from the will of God? Nothing if we obey Him and keep Him first in our lives, you can do it and you will with His help, glory to God…
