Getting into the stride of God!

“Enoch walked with God.” Genesis 5:24

How can you get into the stride of God and emulate the life of Enoch. You are dealing with a God who is light years ahead of you, sees all things, and lives in heaven.

It is really impossible to get on an even keel with God. You will always be in a catch up position with Him.

God thinks and acts differently than you. He is holy and without sin. He wants you to live with Him understanding you will never live up to His stature and your only hope is to come to Him through Jesus, the Son of God. You have to be baptized into the death and resurrected life of Jesus. And, this does not happen overnight.

It is possible to live a life pleasing to God one day at a time. God will meet you where you are today and provide you with strength, wisdom, and the joy of the Lord. You have to commit your works each day to God and walk with Him by faith. You also have to bathe yourself in the blood of the cross in order to be in good standing with God. Remember, you are only a split second away from sin.

You can find the heart of God through praise, prayer, and the Living Word. This has to be a consistent discipline in your life and will cause God to share the mysteries of His kingdom with you.

Most importantly, you have to live in oneness with God through the Holy Spirit. This happens when you invite the Holy Spirit to have authority over every detail of your life and you take the time to be still and listen for the voice of the Lord.

God desires for you to have a personal and intimate relationship with Him and to be open to hear His voice. You have the mind of Christ and He wants to be your best friend and share Himself with you.

If you want to experience the transfigured life, you have to give up the right to yourself and give Jesus permission to do with you as He pleases. This is living with God without expectations. You respect and honor God for who He is and what He has done for you on the cross.

God has a more global objective for your life but this may take many years to come into fruition. He will give you glimpses of His plan through prophesy, dreams, and visions. However, it takes a long time to develop spiritual maturity and to be transformed into the personality of Jesus. Moses waited 40 years before he was ready to carry out God’s mission.

The best advice I can give you is to abandon yourself to your Creator, walk with Jesus by faith believing in His promises and never judge God by the circumstances in your life.

The secret to living with God is to cease from your works (striving) and to enter into the rest of God. It is not by might nor by power but by the Spirit of God!
