Do You Ever Walk With God?

          God the Father is a Spirit the Bible tells us and as a Spirit we can’t see Him walking beside us. But the Bible also says God is a Triune God: God the Father, God the Son (walking talking Son), and God the Holy Spirit. God the Father sits on His Throne; God the Son was and is the Creator who spoke a Word and flung the stars into existence and created any and/or all Universes that may be and all the galaxies many of which we may not even see with our most advanced telescopes; God the Holy Spirit, the Power that once Resurrected Jesus from the tomb, is now poured out giving power to individual Christians through the methodology of indwelling them Spiritually, (coming into our hearts). You as a Christian have a little piece of the Old Testament Shakina Glory and Power living inside you as part of your New Testament Covenant.

          God longs to walk and talk to us on an individual basis. How do I know this? The Bible says so several times in the Old Testament as well as the New Testament. God walked with Adam in the cool of the evening. He was disappointed to find he and Eve hiding in the bushes feeling naked. Modern-day Christian hide too; in the bushes, in their pews, at their jobs, even in their Mission Fields. It is easier to hide than admit our shortcomings and come out and walk and talk beside him.

          We make fun of Christians who say they talk with God one on one like Jessie Duplantis. Jessie has found out Who God Is, What He Is about, and What He expects, at least of Jessie himself. We make fun of the Christians who Preach on street corners, raise their hands, shout, and presume to talk in foreign tongues. We make fun of Christians who sacrifice things like time at the lake summer weekends to spend their own money on Mission Trips to do Dental Work or Build Wells in dusty villages in foreign countries. We want the easy kind of Christianity. We want to go to Church on Sunday where our favorite parking spot is waiting, be greeted by our favorite (and only our favorite) friends, and heaven forbid anyone is sitting in our favorite pew. We want the song leader to select our favorite hymns, and the Preacher to finish speaking in time to be first in line at our favorite restaurant. But is that walking with God? Isn’t that just going through the motions? Just an act?

          How do you know people are supposed to Walk With God Larry? Again, the Bible says so, over and over.

Genesis 5:22-24
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:
²⁴  and Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

          God took him? The walk and the talk were going so good that Jesus let Enoch walk right into the Throne Room with Him. Neither Enoch nor God wanted to stop walking and talking together. They just kept on Walking and Talking. Enoch was enjoying Jesus’ company enough that he walked off and left his Family, Jesus was enjoying Enoch’s company so much that he forgave the curse for Adam’s sin and allowed Enoch to escape (at least temporarily) his earthly death. Many believe Enoch will be one of the two Prophets spoken of in Revelation. If so the entire world will see Enoch die on a live broadcast on every cell phone, TV, video screen, and computer. That technology has never been possible until this very generation. Jesus’ Second Coming could be any day now. Now the entire world can witness the two Prophets dying and coming to life again simultaneously on all the news channels and their own cell phones.
Revelation 11:7-12
⁷ And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that cometh up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.
⁸ And their dead bodies lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.
⁹ And from among the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations do men look upon their dead bodies three days and a half, and suffer not their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.
¹⁰ And they that dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and make merry; and they shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwell on the earth.
¹¹ And after the three days and a half the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them that beheld them.
¹² And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they went up into heaven in the cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

          Enoch knows Jesus well. He will be an effective Witness for God’s Purposes in those very last days. He has walked and talked with the Lord all these years getting ready. Are you Ready?
