A lot of believers don't know God or things that give Him pleasure. This is the obvious reason why Jesus prayed that every believer might know God and Christ as the personification of the Almighty God (John 17:3).
As believers, we should hold fast to the word of God (John 17:6). Arguably, many believers have heard the words but have not received them (John 17:8). Our knowledge of God will determine how much we receive His word.
Sometimes Jesus would walk into our lives expecting to find fruit, but He finds none. In Mark 11:1-end, Jesus found a fig free with leaves and He expected to get from fruits from it. Unfortunately, Jesus did not find any fruit on the fig tree. This is how He is often disappointed in many of His fruitless children.
Rather than bear fruit of righteousness and good works, many believers have become accusers of the brethren, always criticizing others but fail to amend their ways. The obvious reason why the Lord is not meeting you could be that you don't bear fruit! So, bear fruit and the Lord will meet you because He is looking for fruits.
Prophetic Word: "The reason you are experiencing that go-slow in life is that God is at work."
