WALK WITH GOD!
Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it Jesus is my plea.
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, Dear Lord ,
Let it be!!!!!
I am weak, but Thou art strong,
Keep me Jesus from all wrong.
Iíll be satisfied as long
As I walk, Dear Lord, close to Thee.
How many remember this old gospel song? I do just as if I were singing† it today in church, well, what am I saying, I am still singing this song even right now as I am typing it. Have you ever walked down a lonely road or maybe even a wilderness trail that you had never been on? I know what thatís like, especially when you have no idea what lies ahead or around the next corner; mostly when it is dark of night out. I wrote in my previous Impartation about the Garden and walking with the Gardner, and that was a Revelation to me when I was first told that by the Holy Spirit many years ago.
Have you ever stepped on a crack or a stone and twisted an ankle? Painful reminder, hey? Yeah me too. Wouldnít it be great if we had someone who KNEW all the cracks in the sidewalks, or the stones and rocks in our paths; how about what was just around the next corner or up ahead? Is that possible? YES, emphatically YES it is possible and it is available to each and every one of us who dwell on this plane. You see, Jesus Christ walked here, and He built all of this that we see before us. He knows our comings and our goings, there is nothing hid from His eyes. There is nothing new under the sun, that has not been before. He knows the very intent of our hearts before we even have a clue.
And you want to know a secret of abounding joy? HE LOVES US IN SPITE OF OURSELVES.!!!!!!!
ROMANS 6:4
Therefore we have been buried with Him
Through baptism into death, in order that
As Christ was raised from the dead through
The glory of the Father, so we too might†walk
In NEWNESS OF LIFE.
2 Corinthians 5:7
For we†walk†by FAITH and not by sight.
GALATIANS 5:16
But I say,†walk†in the Spirit, and you will not
Carry out the desire of the flesh.
EPHESIANS 5:2
And†walk†in love, just as Christ also
Loved you, and gave Himself up for
Us, an offering and a sacrifice to
God as a†fragrant aroma.††††
(Notice here the Fragrant aroma bound for the Garden?)
EPHISIANS 5:8
For you were formerly darkness,
But now you are light in the Lord;
Walk†as children of light.
1 JOHN 1:7
But if we†walk†in the light as He himself
Is in the light, we have†FELLOWSHIP†with
One another, and the blood of Jesus His
Son cleanses us from all sin.
I know, I know I placed a lot of scripture here for you to read, but I wanted you to get the message of WALKING WITH THE LORD.
Is there anything wrong with that? I also would like to clue you in on something; if you happen to pass it by there is one stipulation in these scriptures and that is: ìIF.î Notice in 1 John 1:7 but ìIFí we walk. We must do something in the Natural to experience the SUPERNATURAL GOD!
Now, my legs and knees are not what they used to be many years ago, but I canít allow that to stop or deter me from the things that I know I have to do; I have many obligations that I must meet and do, and one of them is Praying, for the Pastor, the Leaders and so on down to the very last man woman and child on this planet. I also have to be able to walk so I can take care of my Wife and the things around the home. Life is not a bed of Roses, in fact if I remember right God assured us in His Word that in the Garden there would be THORNS available to get our attention.
So, if you are like me, and you want that INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP with the Supreme Almighty God of the Universe and want to see what it would be like to WALK AND TALK WITH HIM,
PRAY THIS PRAYERFather, I am here right now asking You for Your FavorIn my life, and that I might be granted the privilege ofwalking and talking with You, that I might not stumbleor be afraid of what goes bump in the night.I desire to know You more than ever before,And to FELLOWSHIP just like it says in the BibleAnd what he said here in this writing.And I Thank You Almighty Father for hearingAnd answering my Prayer.In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,The Only Begotten Son of God.AMEN!!!!!!
