III. THE COMMUNION GOD WOULD HAVE WITH HIS PEOPLE DEMANDS SEPARATION
We rob ourselves of God’s favour (receive) and Fatherly care. Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear, Isaiah 59:1-2. This is a matter of vital importance, especially for the people of God today. It holds the secret of the restoration of blessing to the people of God.
God will withdraw from His people - Jer 1:1-11; Song Sol 5:6; Neh 9:16-17, 26-27; Isa 63:10; Eph 4:30.
