Your relationship and fellowship with God were established through Jesus when you were "Born Again."  From then on you have a relationship as a son or daughter of God, He is your Father.  This relationship is maintained by a daily relationship with Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the Word of God.  If you break this daily relationship or are in sin your relationship with God is broken.  He can not fellowship with sin.  Sin hinders the blessings of God from flowing to you and it also hinders you from praying and reading the Word of God.  You need to confess your sin, repent (change your ways), and re-establish your fellowship with Jesus and with God.

You ask, "How can I re-establish my relationship with God?"

• First you must be born again.  If you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and saviour yet or do not know about the Plan of Salvation (New Birth) you should click here and receive Jesus first. 

• You must walk in the light:  1John 1:5-7 "This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.  If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.  But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin."

• We are justified before God through Jesus:  1John 2:1  "My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

• Unbelief and sin will harden our hearts and deceive us:  Hebrews 3:12-13  Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin."

• We must have a change of heart and confess our sin and ask for forgiveness:  1John 1:9  "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

• Expect forgiveness and Joy to come:  Acts 3:19  "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord."

Are you ready to return to the Lord and re-commit yourself to His ways?  Here is a simple prayer that you can pray from your heart and be forgiven and return to fellowship with the Lord.

FATHER, I come to you in the Name of your Son Jesus.  I ask you to forgive me of my sin that I have committed before you.  I thank you Father that you are Faithful and Just to forgive me and cleanse me of all unrighteousness and that you remember my sin no more.  I ask you to refresh me now in your Holy Spirit.  In Jesus Name.
