For all of my Christian life,  my desire has been to walk with God.   I know I am not alone.  The story of Enoch is incredible.  Oh that I could just walk home with God.  Be done with the trials and struggles, the sins and snares of this life.

Here is the rub, I walk with Him, I’m close to Him, obedient to Him. Until I’m not.   The old man within doesn’t want to get with the program.  The roaring lion is attempting to devour me.  When I submit myself to the Lord, the devil must flee.  When I submit myself to the Lord…..I am walking with God.

We must learn to allow Gods Spirit into our lives.   If we look at the Spirit of God,  we find a Spirit  of Wisdom, Understanding and Knowledge, workmanship and the Spirit of Prophesy.  

Exodus 31:
Lord spake unto Moses, saying, I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,  To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,  And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.

Acts 2:
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

All of these gifts were given to build His Tabernacle in the old Testament, where He resided and His Church in the New. He now resides within us.  He will give us the Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge and skill to build His body here on earth.

When we allow His Spirit to teach and guide us we can walk with God.  Enoch walked will God 300 years and is in heaven today, because God took him, he had this testimony he believed God is and is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him ….he also  prophecied of the 2nd comming of Jesus.

Noah walked with God,  found Grace. In the eyes of the Lord.  In reverential fear build an ark and saved his family.   Peter tells us he never failed to be a preacher of righteousness. Noah walked with God for 950 years.

So why is it hard for us to walk longer thsn 15. Minutes?   We allow to much other stuff in our lives.  TV, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, MUSIC, GOSSIP. …We need to set our faces like flint towards the son and walk in the light.  Allowing God to lead and guide us in His ways.

We need to leave the pleasures of the world to the world and find our joy in the Holy Spirit.  The Lord will build His Church by His Spirit in those who Walk with Him.

The only way we can walk with Jesus is to take His Yoke upon us.   Most of the great Fathers of our faith walked  before the Lord.  They were warriors for the Lord.

The two that walked with God, were preachers of righteousness.  If we long to walk with Jesus, we must don His Yoke, do His will.  Preach the gospel of the Kingdom.  

How did Jesus preach the gospel?    With signs and wonders following. ….

Jesus sent the Spirit to teach and guide us, comfort and empower us.  The Spirit gave us gifts, we have neglected to press into the Holy of Holies, to submit ourselves to God, to become useful vessels, vessels He can trust and relie on to give Him the glory and praise.

Lord Jesus, please help me to be a set apart, obedient servant that you can trust with your power and grace.  I long to see people saved, set free, healed and on fire to serve You.

Lord, make me a useful vessel.
