Is it possible for God to hide His face from a believer if they commit any act that is contrary to His word?
DOES GOD HIDE HIS FACE FROM BELIEVERS?

@Ivar,
Thanks Ivar for you comment. God does not hide His face any longer. He doesn't because we have the Holy Ghost living in us and He will never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5).
Eze 39:29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
Believers are the house of Israel being talked about.
If believers still sinned, God would hide his face from them; but we do not sin anymore.
Isa 59:2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
Jesus took away our sins so God is not hiding His face from believers.

@Ivar, Dave, Bibleguy and anyone else;
If we as believers sin, does it separate us from God until we ask for forgiveness?

@Ivar,
I don't know about that, but I know man cannot hide himself from God (Psa. 139:7-10) under the old or new covenant. Man cannot go anywhere from the presence of God. We as believers have been bought with a price (1Cor.6:20), and He said He will never leave us nor forsake us (Heb. 13:5).
God hid His face from Israel because of their sins (Isa. 59:2); but He lives inside of us, "only," because we have "no sin" (Col. 2:11) and we have His Spirit living inside our hearts (Eze. 39:29). It's interesting because out of the heart proceeds unfruitful works, but God said, He will never leave us, neither will He leave our hearts (Mat. 15:18, 19).
