Transcript

00:00Have you ever sat in the silence of your own soul and felt completely forgotten?

00:04The room is full, but you feel invisible.

00:07You cry out in the dark and the silencers back louder than your voice.

00:11But hear me today, you are not alone.

00:14God is with you, right now, right where you are.

00:17That's not a motivational slogan.

00:19That is divine truth.

00:21Loneliness is no respecter of persons.

00:24It visits the rich, the poor, the strong, the weak.

00:27You can be surrounded by followers, friends, even family, yet feel spiritually abandoned.

00:33It creeps in at midnight.

00:34It shows up at the hospital.

00:36It follows you through heartbreak.

00:38It sits with you in failure.

00:40But here's what the world won't tell you.

00:42Loneliness does not mean you're forsaken.

00:44Your feelings are not the final authority.

00:46God's word is.

00:48There's a hidden strength in this trial.

00:51And God often whispers his loudest truth in the silence of our suffering.

00:54God's presence is constant, not conditional.

00:58That truth is foundational to a life of faith, especially when walking through seasons of

01:03deep loneliness, confusion, or despair.

01:06The presence of God is not dictated by your emotions, your circumstances, or even your performance.

01:12It is a divine constant anchored in the character of God himself.

01:16To understand this, we must first reflect on the nature of God, his omnipresence, his covenant

01:21of faithfulness, and his unchanging nature.

01:25Scripture reveals again and again that God is not bound by time or space.

01:29He is everywhere at once, fully aware, fully engaged, and fully near.

01:34Psalm 139 speaks directly to this.

01:37Where shall I go from your spirit?

01:39Or where shall I flee from your presence?

01:42This rhetorical question is not meant to evoke fear, but comfort.

01:46The psalmist is overwhelmed by the reality that there is no place too dark, no valley too

01:50deep, no mountain too high, where God's presence cannot reach.

01:55Whether in the womb or in the grave, in the heavens or in the depths of the sea, God is there.

02:00This is not a poetic exaggeration.

02:03It is a theological declaration of God's omnipresence.

02:06He is not limited like we are.

02:09He is not spatially confined.

02:11He is always near.

02:12This truth becomes intensely personal when we consider the covenant out of language God uses with his people.

02:19From the Old Testament to the New, God consistently promises, I will be with you.

02:24When he called Moses to lead Israel out of Egypt, Moses feared and objected, saying he wasn't qualified.

02:31God didn't give Moses a five-point leadership plan.

02:34He gave Moses one promise, I will be with you.

02:38That was enough.

02:39When Joshua was about to lead the Israelite into the promised land after Moses' death,

02:44God told him three times in one chapter,

02:46Do not be afraid, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

02:50The presence of God was the assurance of victory, not military strength or strategic alliances.

02:57In Isaiah 43, too, God speaks to his people, saying,

03:00When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.

03:03And through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you.

03:06When you walk through fire, you shall not be burned.

03:09Note the progression.

03:10Waters, rivers, fire.

03:12These represent trials, intensifying difficulties, and painful season.

03:16Yet the promise is not that we will avoid them, but that we will never face them alone.

03:22His presence is not based on the absence of difficulty.

03:25It is most revealed in the midst of it.

03:28That truth continues into the New Testament, where Jesus Christ is given the name Emmanuel,

03:33God with us.

03:35The incarnation is the ultimate demonstration that God is not distant.

03:39He did not send help from afar.

03:41He became one of us.

03:42He walked in our shoes, experienced our limitations, and endured suffering so that we might know

03:47a Savior who is not only powerful, but present.

03:51When Jesus spoke to his disciples in John 14, he comforted them before his departure, saying,

03:57I will not leave you as orphans.

03:59I will come to you.

04:01That comfort wasn't just for them.

04:03It is for every believer.

04:05His spirit would come to dwell in them.

04:06The presence of God would no longer merely be beside them, but within them.

04:12This brings us to the role of the Holy Spirit.

04:14For the believer, God's presence is not something we visit.

04:18It is something we carry.

04:19The spirit of God resides in the hearts of his people, marking us, sealing us, and comforting us.

04:24Romans 8 reminds us that we have received the spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out,

04:29Abba, Father.

04:30That cry is relational.

04:32Get to me.

04:32Even when we feel forgotten by the world, the indwelling presence of the spirit assures us

04:38that we are known, seen, and loved by the Father.

04:42However, one of the greatest challenges in the Christian life is that our emotions often

04:46conflict with what is spiritually true.

04:49You may not feel the presence of God.

04:52You may feel empty, dry, or distant.

04:54But that does not mean he is moved.

04:57Feelings are real, but they are not reliable indicators of divine proximity.

05:01God's presence is not an emotional sensation.

05:05It is a spiritual reality.

05:07We walk by faith, not by sight, and certainly not by feeling.

05:12This is not an invitation to fake it, but a call to trust in what God has declared.

05:17Consider Elijah, the prophet who called fire down from heaven in 1 Kings 18.

05:22Just one chapter later, we find him isolated, fearful, and asking God to take his life.

05:28What changed?

05:29His circumstances and emotions overwhelmed him.

05:33But even there, in his lowest point, God came not in the wind, the earthquake, or the fire,

05:37but in a still small voice.

05:40Elijah didn't need another miracle.

05:41He needed the reminder that God was still present.

05:44That same whisper reaches us today, not always in thunder or spectacle, but in quiet faithfulness.

05:52In that whisper, God reminds us, I am still here.

05:55It's also important to recognize that God's presence is not a reward for good behavior.

06:00It's not a transactional benefit for the morally upright.

06:04If that were the case, none of us could ever stand in it.

06:07The beauty of the gospel is that Christ's righteousness clothes us and makes us acceptable before God.

06:12His spirit does not flee the believer in moments of weakness.

06:16Rather, he is our strength in weakness.

06:19David, after his sin with Bathsheba, cried out,

06:22Take not your Holy Spirit from me.

06:25That cry came from the old covenant mindset,

06:27where the Spirit would come upon individuals for specific tasks.

06:32But under the new covenant, believers are sealed with the Holy Spirit

06:35until the day of redemption.

06:37Ephesians 4, 30.

06:39That is a permanent indwelling, not a conditional visitation.

06:44Furthermore, the presence of God is not always dramatic.

06:47Too often, we look for goosebumps or supernatural signs as proof that God is near.

06:51While God certainly moves in power, He is just as present in the ordinary.

06:57The quiet morning prayer, the whispered scripture in the middle of the night,

07:01the moment of peace that surpasses understanding during chaos,

07:04all of these are marks of a God who is present, even when unannounced.

07:09Like the disciples on the road to Emma's,

07:11we may not always recognize Him, but that does not mean He is absent.

07:15Faith grows deep roots when it learns to trust God's presence in silence.

07:20Job, stripped of everything, said,

07:23Although He slay me, yet will I trust Him.

07:26That trust was not rooted in clarity, but in conviction.

07:28God had not explained Himself, but Job still believed that He was near.

07:33And that is the kind of faith that is refined in suffering.

07:37A faith that doesn't rely on visible evidence, but on divine promise.

07:43Jesus experienced loneliness to redeem yours.

07:46This is not a sentimental idea.

07:48It is a profound theological truth rooted in the person and work of Christ.

07:52The Son of God did not simply come to earth to preach, heal, and do miracles.

07:57He came to fully enter into the human condition,

08:00to feel every sorrow, every sting of rejection,

08:03every moment of isolation that fallen humanity endures.

08:07In doing so, He did not just sympathize, He identified.

08:11And through that identification, He provided redemption,

08:15not merely from sin, but from the weight of loneliness itself.

08:19From the moment of His birth, Jesus' life was marked by exclusion.

08:23Born not into a palace, but in a manger,

08:25His entrance into the world was surrounded by poverty,

08:29obscurity, and rejection.

08:31There was no room for Him in the end.

08:33That wasn't just a logistical problem.

08:36It was a theological picture.

08:38The world had no place for its Creator.

08:40The One who spoke the stars into existence

08:42entered the world through the back door of a stable.

08:45That kind of loneliness didn't begin at Calvary.

08:48It was there from the beginning.

08:50As Jesus grew in stature and favor with God and man,

08:53He also grew in sorrow.

08:56The very people He came to save misunderstood Him.

08:59The religious leaders who claimed to represent God

09:02denied the presence of God standing before them.

09:05His own family once thought He was out of His mind.

09:08His disciples, though devoted in many ways,

09:11often failed to grasp who He truly was.

09:14This wasn't just a matter of confusion.

09:17It was a kind of relational distance

09:19that pierced the heart of the Savior.

09:21Imagine walking among those you created,

09:24watching them struggle and suffer,

09:26and knowing they cannot yet comprehend

09:28the fullness of who you are or why you came.

09:30That is divine loneliness on a level

09:33we cannot fully fathom.

09:35Then came the Garden of Gethsemane.

09:37In that moment, Jesus withdrew with His disciples

09:40to pray, as was His custom.

09:42But this night was different.

09:44His soul was sorrowful, even to death.

09:47The weight of what was about to happen

09:49pressed on Him like a crushing stone.

09:51He asked His closest friends to keep watch with Him,

09:54to stay awake and pray,

09:56and yet they could not.

09:57They fell asleep repeatedly.

10:00Even in His darkest hour,

10:01those nearest to Him were not present

10:03in the way He needed.

10:04The loneliness of Gethsemane

10:06was not simply about physical isolation.

10:09It was about emotional abandonment.

10:11He was surrounded,

10:12and yet completely alone in His anger.

10:14And then came the cross.

10:16At Calvary, Jesus endured not only physical torture,

10:19but relational and spiritual separation

10:21that no human has ever known.

10:23Ah, mocked by soldiers,

10:25rejected by the crowd,

10:27forsaken by His disciples,

10:29He hung between two criminals,

10:31naked and exposed.

10:32But the greatest pain

10:33was not inflicted by nails or whips.

10:36It was the cry that tore through the darkness.

10:39My God, my God, my God,

10:42why have you forsaken me?

10:43That cry is the most haunting

10:45and holy sound ever recorded.

10:47In that moment, Jesus,

10:49who had known eternal communion with the Father,

10:51experienced the fullness of separation,

10:54not because the Father ceased to love Him,

10:56but because He bore the full weight of our sin.

10:59The Holy One became the cursed.

11:01The righteous One became sin for us.

11:03The Beloved Son experienced the wrath of God

11:06so that we might be reconciled.

11:08This is the heart of the Gospel.

11:09Jesus entered into our loneliness,

11:12not merely to empathize, but to redeem.

11:15The separation He experienced was substitutionary.

11:17He was forsaken so that we would be accepted.

11:21He was abandoned so we would be adopted.

11:24He bore the silence of heaven

11:25so we could hear the Father's voice say,

11:27You are mine.

11:28The loneliness that Christ endured

11:30was not meaningless suffering.

11:32It was purposeful redemption.

11:34Hebrews 4.15 tells us

11:35that we do not have a high priest

11:37who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses,

11:40but one who is tempted in every way as we are,

11:43yet without sin.

11:44This means that when you feel alone,

11:48Jesus does not observe you from a distance.

11:50He understands from experience.

11:52When you cry in isolation,

11:54He remembers the cold of Gethsemane.

11:57When you feel rejected,

11:58He recalls the sting of betrayal.

12:01When you feel like no one understands,

12:03He walks with you as one

12:04who has been misunderstood and maligned.

12:07This truth matters deeply,

12:08especially in moments when God feels distant.

12:10It is tempting to believe

12:12that if we are experiencing loneliness,

12:15something is wrong with us spiritually.

12:17But Christ's example shows us

12:19that even perfect obedience

12:20does not exempt us from deep sorrow.

12:23In fact, obedience may often lead us

12:25into seasons of isolation,

12:27just as it did for Jesus.

12:30Yet in those moments,

12:31we are not less loved.

12:32We are not abandoned.

12:34We are sharing in the sufferings of Christ,

12:36and we are being shaped by them.

12:38The apostle Paul writes in Philippians 3,

12:4110, that he desires to know Christ

12:43and the power of His resurrection

12:45and the fellowship of His sufferings.

12:48That is not a morbid desire.

12:50It is a recognition that there is intimacy with Christ

12:52that is only found in the valley.

12:54When we suffer loneliness,

12:56we are drawn closer to the heart

12:57of the one who suffered at first.

12:59And in that fellowship,

13:00we find not despair, but comfort.

13:02Jesus' experience of loneliness

13:05also redefines how we view our own.

13:08It is no longer a sign that God has turned away.

13:11It may be instead a sign

13:13that He is drawing us nearer.

13:15Often, God allows earthly comforts

13:17to be stripped away

13:18so that we will find our comfort in Him alone.

13:21Human relationships are a gift,

13:24but they were never meant to be our source.

13:26Only Christ can truly satisfy

13:28the ache of isolation.

13:30Only He can speak into the silence

13:31with authority and love.

13:33When the Savior says,

13:34I will never leave you nor forsake you,

13:37that promise is not abstract.

13:39It is backed by blood.

13:41It was purchased on the cross.

13:42It was sealed in the resurrection.

13:44And it is applied to every believer

13:46through the Holy Spirit.

13:48That means that even in your most private moments

13:50of isolation,

13:52even when no one else notices your pain,

13:55even when your prayers feel like whispers into a void,

13:57Jesus stands as the one who knows,

14:00who understands,

14:01and who remains.

14:03This is the God who draws near to the brokenhearted.

14:06This is the Savior who binds up the wounds

14:08the world cannot see.

14:10And this is the Redeemer who transforms

14:11even the darkest moments

14:13into testimonies of grace.

14:15The Holy Spirit lives in you,

14:17even in silence.

14:18This is one of the most profound realities

14:20of the Christian life,

14:22yet one of the least felt in times

14:24of suffering or emotional dryness.

14:26When we speak of God's presence,

14:28it's easy to associate it

14:29with powerful worship experiences,

14:32answered prayers,

14:33or moments of clarity and joy.

14:35But what about when everything is quiet,

14:37when your heart feels numb,

14:39your prayers feel empty,

14:41and heaven seems silent?

14:42Does that mean the Spirit is absent?

14:44According to the Word of God,

14:46the answer is a resounding no.

14:48The presence of the Holy Spirit

14:50is not conditional upon your emotional state

14:52or visible signs.

14:53His indwelling is permanent,

14:55unshakable,

14:56and deeply personal.

14:58Scripture is clear

14:58that the moment a person

15:00believes in Jesus Christ for salvation,

15:02the Holy Spirit takes up residence within them.

15:06Paul writes in Ephesians 1, 13-14

15:09that believers are sealed

15:10with the promised Holy Spirit,

15:12who is the guarantee of our inheritance.

15:15That word is sealed in the original language

15:17implies ownership, protection, and permanence.

15:20The Spirit is not a guest who comes and goes.

15:24He is a resident who dwells.

15:26He is not a temporary influence,

15:28but a constant indwelling presence.

15:31This sealing is not based on our behavior,

15:33but on God's covenant promise

15:34through the finished work of Christ.

15:37In Romans 8-9,

15:39Paul goes even further.

15:41Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ

15:43does not belong to him.

15:44That means every true believer

15:46has the Spirit,

15:48regardless of whether they feel his presence.

15:50This doctrine stands in direct opposition

15:52to the emotionalism

15:54that often dominates spiritual conversations.

15:57Feelings have their place,

15:58but they are not authoritative.

16:01The authority is the Word of God,

16:02and that Word declares

16:03that the Spirit of God

16:04is within the believer,

16:06whether the soul feels it or not.

16:08There are seasons in every believer's life

16:10when God seems silent.

16:12The heavens feel closed,

16:13and the soul feels dry.

16:15These are not necessarily

16:16seasons of sin or disobedience.

16:19Sometimes they are seasons of testing,

16:21preparation, or divine intimacy

16:22that transcends emotional experience.

16:25In these moments,

16:26many begin to question

16:27their standing with God.

16:29Why don't I feel him?

16:31Has he left me?

16:33Have I done something wrong?

16:35These questions are honest,

16:36but they are answered

16:37not in introspection,

16:38but in Scripture.

16:39John 14, 16 records

16:42Jesus promised to his disciples,

16:44and I will ask the Father,

16:45and he will give you another helper

16:47to be with you forever.

16:49Forever does not mean

16:50until you feel distant.

16:52Forever does not mean

16:53until you sin.

16:54Forever means forever.

16:56The Holy Spirit

16:57is not just a vague comforter

16:58or passive presence.

17:00He is a person,

17:01fully God,

17:02fully active,

17:03and fully involved

17:04in the life of the believer.

17:05He convicts of sin,

17:07teaches truth,

17:08intercedes in prayer,

17:10gives assurance,

17:10empowers for service,

17:12and produces spiritual fruit.

17:14These are not external acts

17:15done to us,

17:16but internal works

17:17done within us.

17:18Even when the believer

17:19feels weak,

17:20the Spirit is strong.

17:22Even when the believer

17:23doesn't know how to pray,

17:25the Spirit intercedes

17:26with groanings

17:27too deep for words.

17:28According to Romans 8, 26,

17:31that means the Spirit

17:32is working, speaking,

17:34and moving,

17:34even in your silence.

17:35The silence of your lips

17:37does not mean

17:37the silence of the Spirit.

17:40He is always active,

17:41always interceding,

17:43always working

17:44according to the will of God.

17:46In John 7, 38, 39,

17:49Jesus said that

17:50out of the heart

17:50of the one who believes

17:51in Him would flow

17:52rivers of living water.

17:54John clarifies this

17:55as a reference

17:56to the Holy Spirit

17:57who had not yet been given

17:58because Jesus

17:59had not yet been glorified.

18:01Today, that same Spirit

18:03has been poured out.

18:04The rivers of living water

18:06do not cease

18:07when you feel spiritually dry.

18:09They may become

18:10less perceptible

18:11to your senses,

18:12but the flow remains.

18:14The Spirit is not

18:15a seasonal river.

18:17He is a wellspring

18:18of eternal life.

18:19When you feel spiritually barren,

18:21He is still present,

18:22still nourishing,

18:23still sustaining

18:23your inner man

18:24in ways you cannot see.

18:26It's also important

18:27to understand

18:28that silence is not absent.

18:30God has always used silence

18:32to accomplish deep

18:33spiritual formation.

18:35Think of Moses

18:35tending sheep

18:36in Midian for forty years.

18:39Think of David

18:39running from Saul,

18:41writing psalms in caves.

18:43Think of Elijah

18:44in the wilderness

18:44where God did not speak

18:45in the wind, earthquake,

18:46or fire,

18:47but in a still small voice.

18:49The silence did not mean

18:50God was gone.

18:52It meant He was drawing

18:52the soul to a quieter trust.

18:55The Spirit, likewise,

18:56often works in unseen ways.

18:58His voice may not always be loud,

19:01but it is always present.

19:02He speaks through Scripture,

19:04through conviction,

19:05through quiet reassurance.

19:07You may not recognize

19:07His work in the moment,

19:09but in hindsight,

19:10you'll often see

19:11He was guiding you

19:12every step of the way.

19:15Another function of the Spirit

19:16is to produce fruit.

19:18Galatians 5, 22-23

19:20lists the fruit of the Spirit.

19:22Love, joy, peace, patience,

19:24kindness, goodness,

19:25faithfulness, gentleness,

19:26self-control.

19:27These are not traits

19:28we manufacture.

19:29They are results

19:30of the Spirit's internal work.

19:33Often these fruits grow

19:34in seasons of waiting,

19:35silence, and trial.

19:37Patience is not cultivated

19:38in ease.

19:40Peace is not formed in chaos.

19:42Faithfulness is not tested

19:43in comfort.

19:45The Spirit does His deepest work

19:46in the soil of surrender.

19:48You may not feel explosive joy

19:50or visible breakthrough,

19:52but if you are still clinging

19:53to God in the quiet,

19:54that is the Spirit bearing fruit.

19:56The Spirit also assures

19:58the believer of their identity.

20:01Romans 8, 16 says,

20:03the Spirit Himself bears witness

20:04with our spirit

20:05that we are children of God.

20:07That witness is not always

20:08a booming voice.

20:10Sometimes it's the quiet

20:11perseverance of your faith.

20:13The fact that you still believe,

20:14still hope,

20:15still cry out

20:16even when you feel nothing,

20:18that is the Spirit in you.

20:20Left to yourself,

20:21you would have walked away,

20:22but the Spirit keeps you.

20:24He preserves your soul.

20:25He anchors your hope.

20:27This assurance may not be felt

20:28in moments of emotional dullness,

20:30but it is no less real.

20:32The Spirit does not rely

20:33on your ability to sense Him.

20:36He relies on His divine commitment

20:37to indwell you.

20:39The Spirit's role also includes

20:41reminding you of truth.

20:42Jesus said in John 14, 26

20:45that the Spirit would teach us

20:47all things

20:48and bring to remembrance

20:50everything He had said.

20:52In moments when you feel

20:53too weak to read Scripture

20:54or too weary to pray,

20:56you'll find verses

20:57returning to your mind,

20:59songs echoing in your heart,

21:01or a quiet nudge

21:02to keep going.

21:03These are not psychological tricks.

21:06They are the ministry

21:07of the Holy Spirit.

21:08He illuminates the truth,

21:10anchors the soul,

21:10and lifts the downcast heart.

21:13You may feel alone,

21:14but if you are in Christ,

21:15you are never without the Spirit.

21:17He is your helper,

21:18your counselor,

21:19your advocate.

21:20He does not come and go

21:21based on your mood or merit.

21:23He abides.

21:24He remains.

21:25He continues the work He began.

21:27He transforms from the inside out,

21:29sometimes quietly,

21:31sometimes dramatically,

21:31but always faithfully.

21:33His power is not diminished

21:35by your weakness.

21:36His presence is not threatened

21:37by your doubt.

21:39His work is not paused

21:40by your silence.

21:41Even when your soul

21:42feels like a wilderness,

21:43the Spirit is planting seeds.

21:45Even when your prayers feel empty,

21:47He is filling them

21:48with intercession.

21:49Even when you cannot see growth,

21:51He is producing.

21:53The Spirit is not distant.

21:54He is within.

21:56And He is always at work.

21:58There's a woman crying herself

21:59to sleep right now,

22:01wondering if anyone notices.

22:03There's a man scrolling through life,

22:06feeling like he doesn't matter anymore.

22:08To you, yes, you listen.

22:10Fear not, for I am with you.

22:12Be not dismayed,

22:13for I am your God.

22:14Isaiah 41.10,

22:16Even though I walk through the valley

22:17of the shadow of death,

22:19I will fear no evil,

22:21for you are with me.

22:22Psalm 23.4.

22:24This isn't just poetic talk.

22:26This is eternal truth.

22:28You're not forgotten.

22:29You're not invisible.

22:30And you're not forsaken.

22:32God is with you

22:33right now in this valley,

22:35in this heartbreak,

22:35in this silence.

22:37And if God is with you,

22:38that means you're never truly alone.

22:40So lift your head.

22:42Wipe your tears.

22:44Not because everything is easy,

22:45but because Emmanuel means

22:46God with us.

22:47And if God is with you,

22:48that's all you'll ever need.

22:50Amen.

22:51Amen.
