Does god prefer to inhabit a body, wherever he is

So actually, the bible says in Proverbs 1:28 that “Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me." And in Deuteronomy 32:20 that "I will hide my face from them." This implies that the biblical god, at least, does seek that quiet room that I described. In not being found after being sought, this shows that the presence he could have is something he chooses to limit at times. A logical place for a deity to limit its presence might be a body, therefore that's why this question is asked

I believe that is an assumption that context would not support.

I believe that is not exactly true. He is everywhere. What He limits is communication with those who do not deserve it.

I believe I see o evidence that God wishes to limit Himself and logically speaking God is not limited by a body because He is still everywhere. The only thing limited is the body.

I believe Heaven is a place without substance and outside of time.

I believe heaven is any space between material although most often it refers to the space between planets. Paul talks about more than one heaven.

I believe you are mistaken. His Kingdom is everywhere his subjects are and many are on this earth.

i believe He is in a place where He is able to prepare a place for us and that is not on this earth. However I believe He is King no matter where He is but the Biblical references to a physical Kingdom is upon this earth but not as we know it today.

So where exactly do you believe God was when Jesus said He was going to be with Him?

But like Katzpur was saying, Jesus indicates that the father is in heaven. And to prove heaven is not everywhere around you, there is the ascension. If heaven was not up there, with god in it, he would not need to ascend anywhere. So what you are you talking about..
