I keep making the same errors. I just give scriptures, trying to prove my point. Boring.
My question for you is are you walking with God? (Jesus ). Or are you walking before The Lord? (Jehovah the Father ). Do we have a choice?
I believe Pastors are given the Spirit of God (Jesus ). They are infused with Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge and Skill to build the church of God.
Wheather a church of 20 or 200….the people need to be instructed in Praise, Worship, Prayer and Fasting, Faith, Bible study….obedience, tithing, giving and shareing.
Those who are walking in the Spirit of the Lord, are Warriors, in prayer and praise, Spiritual as well as physical. (As our country keeps moving to the Godless left).
Isaiah 61
King James Version (KJV)
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
It is Yahweh that Annoints to preach, comfort the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom and deliver those in bondage.
Evangelists, healers, miracles, signs and wonders seem to happen more outside the regular worship services.
We need to develop the Gifts of the Spirit that we are given. Seek the wisdom and comfort of the Spirit, He will lead, guide, protect and direct us in their use.
Take them off the shelf, if you’ve hiden them, let them multiply. Be bold and of good Spirit the Lord will be pleased with your efforts.

Deuteronomy 33:7
King James Version (KJV)
7 And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, Lord, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies.
Judah or praise is so important in our daily walk with the Lord. We need to live Yoked to Jesus.
This seems hard or even impossible :
Matthew 11:30-28
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Sometimes it helps to mix things up. Here Jesus tells us to be Yoked to Him is easy and light work.
In my sordid past I did a lot of heavy and hard work.
It was rewarding and exhausting and frustrating.
When I find myself actually doing my Father’s business I have the peace that passes understanding and joy unspeakable.
It is not hard or grievous, heavy and exhausting.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
We need to continue on our walk by learning of Him.
This can’t be known by studying but by living Yoked to and walking beside, experiencing His mercy and grace daily.
Going boldly to the Father, covered in the blood and righteousness of Christ . Knowing who we are in the Beloved.
Meek, lowly not considering ourselves, doing for and loving others, finding rest in His embrace.
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
A promise we can rely on. An invitation to experience the blessings of Judah. For it is a form of Praise to Walk with Jesus.
He will hear your hearts desire, bring you to your place, with a loving accepting people, your hands will be sufficient , you will always have enough and He will help us, keep us from our enimies.
Lord, I long to live a life of Praise, walking with You, learning and leaning on Your Everlasting Arms.
Thank You for Your mercy and grace, Your life and death, the power of Your blood and resurrection.
May You be glorified, magnified and exalted.

Exodus 24 The Promise Sealed with Blood
Yahweh said to Moses, “You and Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and 70 of Israel’s leaders come up the mountain to me and worship at a distance. Moses may come near Yahweh, but the others may not. The people must not come along with Moses.”
Moses sacrificed and sprinkled blood on the people :
Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and 70 of Israel’s leaders. They saw the Elohim of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made out of sapphire as clear and blue as the sky itself. Elohim didn’t harm these leaders of the Israelites. So they saw Elohim, and then they ate and drank.
Moses Goes up the Mountain to Receive God’s Words Written on Stone
Yahweh said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain. Stay there, and I will give you the stone tablets with the teachings and the commandments I have written for the people’s instruction.”
Moses set out with his assistant Joshua, and Moses went up on the mountain of Elohim. He said to the leaders, “Wait here for us until we come back to you. Aaron and Hur are here with you. Take all your disagreements to them.”
So Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered it. The glory of Yahweh settled on Mount Sinai. For six days the cloud covered it, and on the seventh day Yahweh called to Moses from inside the cloud. To the Israelites, the glory of Yahweh looked like a raging fire on top of the mountain. Moses entered the cloud as he went up the mountain. He stayed on the mountain 40 days and 40 nights.
Exodus 25
Gifts for Use in the Tent of Meeting
Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites to choose something to give me as a special contribution.
The Ark
“Make an ark of acacia wood 45 inches long, 27 inches wide, and 27 inches high. Cover it with pure gold inside and out, and put a gold molding around it.
The Table
“Make a table of acacia wood 36 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 27 inches high. Cover it with pure gold, and put a gold molding around it. Make a rim three inches wide around it, and put a gold molding
The Lamp Stand
“Make a lamp stand out of pure gold. The lamp stand, its base, and its shaft, as well as the flower cups, buds, and petals must be hammered out of one piece of gold.
Make seven lamps, and set them on the lamp stand so that they light up the area in front of it.

Exodus 21
Yahweh still speaking :
Laws Concerning the Treatment of Slaves : setting slaves free/bond servants
I hereby declare my love for my master, my wife, and my children. I don’t want to leave as a free man,’ then his master must bring him to Elohim. The master must bring him to the door or the doorframe and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his slave for life.
Laws Concerning Injury to People: cities of refuge
Whoever strikes someone and kills him must be put to death. If it wasn’t done intentionally, but Elohim let it happen, the killer should flee to a place I will set aside for you
Laws Concerning Property
Exodus 22
Yahweh speaking about theft
If the thief is not caught, the owner of the house must be brought to Elohim to find out whether or not he took his neighbor’s valuables. If there is a dispute over the ownership of a bull, a donkey, a sheep, an article of clothing, or any other lost property which two people claim as their own, both people must bring their case to Elohim. The one whom Elohim declares guilty must make up for his neighbor’s loss with double the amount.
The case between them must be settled by swearing an oath to Yahweh that the neighbor did not take the other person’s animal. The owner must accept the oath
Laws for Living as God’s Holy People
“Whoever sacrifices to any god except Yahweh must be condemned and destroyed.
“Never show disrespect for Elohim or curse a leader of your people.
There is much more in these chapters. …just trying to relay Yahweh speaking of Elohim. Yahweh does the talking all the way to chapter 24, where He talks of the blood.

Exodus 20
Elohim gives the 10 commandments. Elohim says He is Lord God, usually it is the Lord who proclaims He is the Lord God. The Two are one with different voices,
The Ten Commandments
20 Then Elohim spoke all these words:
2 “I am Yahweh your Elohim, who brought you out of slavery in Egypt.
3 “Never have any other god. 4 Never make your own carved idols or statues that represent any creature in the sky, on the earth, or in the water. 5 Never worship them or serve them, because I, Yahweh your Elohim, am El Kanna. (Jealous God) I punish children for their parents’ sins to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me. 6 But I show mercy to thousands of generations of those who love me and obey my commandments. (Continues the 10 commandments )
Yahweh speaks :
General Rules for Worship
22 Yahweh said to Moses, “This is what you must say to the Israelites: You’ve seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven. 23 Never make any gods of silver or gold for yourselves. Never worship them.
24 “You must build an altar for me made out of dirt. Sacrifice your burnt offerings and your fellowship offerings, your sheep, goats, and cattle on it. Wherever I choose to have my name remembered, I will come to you and bless you. 25 If you build an altar for me made out of stones, never make it with cut stone blocks. If you use a chisel on it, you will make it unacceptable to me. 26 Never use stairs to go up to my altar. Otherwise, people will be able to see under your clothes.”
Both speak, burnt offerings most of the time are made to Yahweh. ..

Exodus 19
Two months after the Israelites left Egypt, they came to the desert of Sinai. 2 Israel had moved from Rephidim and had come into the desert of Sinai. They had set up camp there in front of the mountain.
3 Then Moses went up the mountain to Elohim, and Yahweh called to him from the mountain, “This is what you must say to the descendants of Jacob. Tell the Israelites, 4 ‘You have seen for yourselves what I did to Egypt and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to my mountain. 5 If you carefully obey me and are faithful to the terms of my promise,[a] then out of all the nations you will be my own special possession, even though the whole world is mine. 6 You will be my kingdom of priests and my holy nation.’ These are the words you must speak to the Israelites.”
Yahweh said to Moses, “I am coming to you in a storm cloud so that the people will hear me speaking with you and will always believe you.” Moses told Yahweh what the people had said.
10 So Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to the people, and tell them they have two days to get ready. They must set themselves apart as holy. Have them wash their clothes 11 and be ready by the day after tomorrow. On that day Yahweh will come down on Mount Sinai as all the people watch. 12 Mark off a boundary around the mountain for the people, and tell them not to go up the mountain or even touch it.
16 On the morning of the second day, there was thunder and lightning with a heavy cloud over the mountain, and a very loud blast from a ram’s horn was heard. All the people in the camp shook with fear.
17 Then Moses led the people out of the camp to meet with Elohim, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.
18 All of Mount Sinai was covered with smoke because Yahweh had come down on it in fire. Smoke rose from the mountain like the smoke from a kiln, and the whole mountain shook violently.
19 As the sound of the horn grew louder and louder, Moses was speaking, and the voice of Elohim answered him.
20 Yahweh came down on top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So Moses went up. 21 Yahweh said to him, “Go down and warn the people not to force their way through the boundary to see Yahweh, or many of them will die. 22 Even the priests who are allowed to come near Yahweh must set themselves apart as holy, or Yahweh will violently kill them.”
We have both voices of the Godhead recognized.

The Old Testament has a great many who walked before or after the Lord, some even walked in the ways of the Lord.
These include Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, David, Solomon. Hezekiah, Moses, Joshua ect….Righteous men, walking in obedience to the Lord.
Isaiah 30:21
King James Version (KJV)
21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
Only two are mentIned by name who walked with God :
Genesis 5:21-23
King James Version (KJV)
21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
We know from the book of Hebrews that Enoch pleased God because he believed God is and is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
The book of Jude tells us he was a preacher of righteousness and prophesied the second coming of Christ.
Then we have Noah:
Genesis 6:8-9
King James Version (KJV)
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord because he was just and perfect, he was just and perfect because he walked with God.
Again in Hebrews we find Noah, fears God, builds the Ark, saves his family, becomes the heir of righteousness.
What is the difference in walking before, after or in the ways of the Lord and walking with God?
All on who walked before, after or in the ways of the Lord were Warriors for the Lord. They all were righteous men who shed blood to see the Lords will done.
Neither Enoch or Noah shed blood, both were preachers of righteousness.
The Lord demands the blood, Jesus supplied it for those who walk with Him, (God). We find the Lord pleased.
We are called today to walk with Jesus, to walk in the light, to walk in the Spirit, to walk in Wisdom towards them that are without, to walk in truth.
In Philippians we find:
Philippians 4:3
King James Version (KJV)
3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.
True yoke fellows, those that labor in the gospel. How should we labor in the gospel? Do we know what the gospel is?
The gospel or good news is the information that we can walk with God. It’s called the gospel of the Kingdom, gospel of God, of Christ, of peace.
For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
In the days of the Apostles the gospel had power, people were saved, healed, changed, today, people are under welled. No power, just noise.
Just noise from me also, I’m ashamed to say.
We must be trustworthy, for the Lord to heal through us, not become prideful, holier then thou. We must learn to humble ourselves.
Lord, please help us to serve you, humbly, obediently, powerfully. ….help me Lord to put on Your Yoke, help me to walk with You.

Exodus 16
Yahweh gives them manna
Exodus 17
The whole community of Israelites left the desert of Sin and traveled from place to place as Yahweh commanded them.
Yahweh answered Moses, “Bring some of the leaders of Israel with you, and go to where the people can see you. Take the staff you used to strike the Nile River. 6 I’ll be standing in front of you there by a rock at Mount Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink.”
Moses did this while the leaders of Israel watched him.
7 He named that place Massah [Testing] and Meribah [Complaining] because the Israelites complained and because they tested Yahweh, asking, “Is Yahweh with us or not?”
Yahweh gave them water
God Defeats the Amalekites
8 The Amalekites fought Israel at Rephidim. 9 Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some of our men. Then fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill. I will hold in my hand the staff Elohim told me to take along.”
10 Joshua did as Moses told him and fought the Amalekites, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went to the top of the hill. 11 As long as Moses held up his hands, Israel would win, but as soon as he put his hands down, the Amalekites would start to win. 12 Eventually, Moses’ hands felt heavy. So Aaron and Hur took a rock, put it under him, and he sat on it. Aaron held up one hand, and Hur held up the other. His hands remained steady until sunset. 13 So Joshua defeated the Amalekite army in battle.
14 Yahweh said to Moses, “Write this reminder on a scroll, and make sure that Joshua hears it, too: I will completely erase any memory of the Amalekites from the earth.”
15 Moses built an altar and called it Yahweh Nissi. 16 He said, “Because a hand was lifted against Yah’s throne,[a] Yahweh will be at war against the Amalekites from one generation to the next.”
I know it is hard for some to get their mind around this but I feel Moses knew both Elohim and Yahweh and used the name of the one he meant.
For years the Lord God was like the first and last name of God to me. Now I realize it is two entity’s, you would not say Bill told me and Cote said….but if Bill and George are there it would be Bill told me and George said.
Two different, distinct members of the Trinity.
Even Moses father in law recognized the Godhead :
Exodus 18
Names of God Bible (NOG)
Moses’ Father-in-law Visits Israel’s Camp
18 Moses’ father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, heard about everything Elohim had done for Moses and his people Israel and how Yahweh had brought Israel out of Egypt.
In this chapter we have one of the few times we see a sacrifice made to Elohim.
Then Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, brought a burnt offering and other sacrifices to Elohim. Aaron and all the leaders of Israel came to eat the meal with Moses’ father-in-law in Elohim’s presence
Jethro give Moses advice :
When Moses’ father-in-law saw everything Moses was doing for the people, he asked, “Why are you doing this for the people? Why do you sit here alone, while all the people stand around you from morning until evening?”
15 Moses answered his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to find out Elohim’s will. 16 Whenever they have a disagreement and bring it to me, I decide which person is right, and I tell them Elohim’s laws and instructions.”
17 Moses’ father-in-law replied, “What you’re doing is not good. 18 You and your people will wear yourselves out. This is too much work for you. You can’t do it alone! 19 Now listen to me, and I’ll give you some advice. May Elohim be with you! You must be the people’s representative to Elohim and bring their disagreements to Elohim. 20 You must instruct them in the laws and the teachings, show them how to live, and tell them what to do.
21 “But choose capable men from all the people, men who fear Elohim, men you can trust, men who hate corruption

Exodus 7-13:16
This is Yahweh’s show, Yahweh told Moses, Moses Moses told Pharaoh. 10 plagues. Only Elohim’s thunder and hail. 9:24
In Exodus 13:17
We find Elohim leading them out of Egypt, the long way, into an impossible place. Yahweh (Elohim ), a column of smoke or fire day and night to lead them.
Exodus 14 : Yahweh still doing the talking at the Red Sea, Yahweh parting the waters. Elohim :
19 The Messenger of Elohim, who had been in front of the Israelites, moved behind them. So the column of smoke moved from in front of the Israelites and stood behind them 20 between the Egyptian camp and the Israelite camp. The column of smoke was there when darkness came, and it lit up the night. Neither side came near the other all night long.
Yahweh’s in charge, Elohim protecting…..
Exodus 15:
The song of Moses also in Deuteronomy 31,32 and Revelation 15

The Filling Station : Exodus 4
In Exodus 4 we find Yahweh speaking :
Yahweh turns staff into snake and back, deseased hand, water from Nile into blood…..who made your tongue?
Tryed to kill Moses comming off the mountain : Zipporah circumcised their son and Yahweh was fine. Aaron comes to help.
Exodus 5:
Pharaoh hardens his heart….Moses asked Yahweh why?
Exodus 6:
We see Yahweh Elohim working together :
Yahweh said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh. I will show him my power, and he will let my people go. I will show him my power, and he will throw them out of his country.”
The Lord Tells Moses to Speak to Pharaoh Again
2 Elohim spoke to Moses, “I am Yahweh. 3 I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as El Shadday, but I didn’t make myself known to them by my name, Yahweh. 4 I even made a promise[a] to give them Canaan, the land where they lived as foreigners. 5 Now I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians hold in slavery, and I have remembered my promise.
6 “Tell the Israelites, ‘I am Yahweh. I will bring you out from under the oppression of the Egyptians, and I will free you from slavery. I will rescue you with my powerful arm and with mighty acts of judgment. 7 Then I will make you my people, and I will be your Elohim. You will know that I am Yahweh your Elohim, who brought you out from under the forced labor of the Egyptians. 8 I will bring you to the land I solemnly swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you as your own possession. I am Yahweh.’”
Two in one….Yahweh says I am Elohim.
Elohim says I am Yahweh. They are always in agreement but we can hear their Natures in their speech.
Yahweh : I will show him my power.
Elohim : Tell them I will bring you out, I will rescue you, make you my people, I will bring you to on promise.

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.
