God Is Near: Understanding God’s Immanence

In this episode of New Age to Christ, Doreen Virtue teaches on the biblical doctrine of God's immanence—the truth that God is not distant, but near to His people. Drawing from Psalm 145:18 and other passages, this episode explains how God's nearness is not something we create through manifestation, techniques, or spiritual practices, but something He has revealed through His Word and secured through the gospel of Jesus Christ. Doreen contrasts the deceptive promises of New Age spirituality with the true and personal presence of God, showing that the Lord is near to all who call on Him in truth. Rather than attempting to control outcomes through "decreeing and declaring," believers are called to trust God's will, His timing, and His perfect wisdom in prayer. In this episode, listeners will learn: • The difference between God's transcendence and immanence • Why manifestation and self-directed spirituality are unbiblical • How believers can trust God's nearness through Christ • Why biblical prayer is rooted in humility, dependence, and trust Psalm 145:18 reminds us: "The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." God is not distant. He is near to His people, present in their trials, attentive to their prayers, and faithful to His promises. For more from Doreen, visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/doreen-virtue/
