How to Know If You’re Using God Instead of Knowing Him | Pst. Dolapo Lawal

How do you know if you are using God instead of truly knowing Him? In this powerful message, Pst. Dolapo Lawal teaches on friendship with God, intimacy, the secret place, obedience, fellowship, and what it really means to walk with God beyond religious activity. Many believers know how to pray when they need help, attend church, quote scriptures, and ask God for answers, but God is calling His people into something deeper than requests. He wants friendship. He wants people who know His heart, share His burden, obey His voice, and walk with Him in love. Pst. Dolapo Lawal, a Georgia-based pastor and Bible teacher, explains how Moses spoke with God as a friend, why the secret place matters, and how Jesus restored us into fellowship with the Father. This message reveals that Christianity is not just about getting things from God; it is about knowing God, loving Him, obeying Him, and becoming like Him. This message is for every young believer, Gen Z Christian, and young adult asking: How do I build real friendship with God? How do I stop using God and start knowing Him? How do I grow in intimacy with God? How do I build a consistent secret place? How do I know if I am close to church but far from God? How do I move from religion to real relationship with God? How do I become the kind of person God calls friend? If you have ever felt spiritually active but inwardly distant, this sermon will help you return to the heart of Christianity: fellowship with God. Watch this message and learn how to stop treating God like a resource and start walking with Him as Father, Friend, Lord, and Love.
