THE SECRET OF WALKING WITH GOD 

 

  Anything that affects our walk with God is imported.Our God wants us to walk with him and he is not interested in a Sunday relationship or a plastic religious face. All he wants is a daily walk with him.

Genesis 3:8''And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, God made us because he wanted a daily walk with him..

If we are not careful, we become so experience oriented that we become Relationship minimized-It becomes all about what happens on Sunday that we forget God wants a relationship with us and not mountain top experiences.

 Isaiah 40 says:but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.They will soar on wings like eagles;they will run and not grow weary,they will walk and not be faint.Its wonderful when you sour. when you are in those seasons,you mounting up with eagles and are souring. Anyone likes to sour..And there are those seasons when you are running and people are cheering because people cheer runners, But nobody cheers walkers..Its not a big deal for the walkers..so they say!..We cheer runners and sours..No one cheers the walkers .God is not interested with what happened when you were souring he is concerned on your walk with him through Monday to Sunday...Everyday....Because when you walk with God it changes the condition of your heart

Nobody knows when you are walking with God because only God knows.

SATAN HATES WHEN YOU WALK WITH GOD....

He is not interested when you go to church on Sunday and u get high-on the sermon and you go high on a little season of feeling good..Satan hates to see you walk with God on a daily basis..The real deal is when he sees you put your feet after another walking with God day by day not giving on whatever comes our way.

Peter Jenkins wrote  a book in 1973 called a Walk Accross America and it became the best seller because he had unbelievable experience walking 5000 miles.He took five years to do it.He carried 70 pound bag pack.He walked through the heat of 120 degrees through the desert,he walked through the mountains, he was attacked by wild animals, he was stabbed one time, he was mugged five times, his dog was run over by a car, he was bitten by snakes everything went against him..and what was shocking during his interview he was asked -What was the greatest thing that made him come close to giving up and he shocked them by saying- ''SAND IN MY SHOES''!You would have expected him to say the attacks, the sun through the desert,or the car that run over his dog..and so on.He said he would get grains in his shoes and he would walk and the sand would grind his feet ..It wasn't the big thing it was the sand ..LESSON_..Its not the Big things that will stop us from walking with God..Its the little things that affect our walk with God..The little things like the little offences and the little situations that begin to grind and hinder our walk with God,,The depressions of life, the worries, the anxiety attacks that makes us loose sleep in the night!The little grains...The little sand those are the little things that hinder us from walking by Faith.

Psalms 42:10''As with a deadly wound in my bones, my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?”And people will mock you and ask you where is your God? and they reproach you daily where is you God?Where is the God you pray to heal you generation?.Its the little things that will never leave us they keep following us and they grind ..Many Christians  have sand in the shoes...

BUT Jesus says in Mathew 11:28'' Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest''....

Judges 16:16''And it came to pass, when she(Delilah) pressed him daily with her words, and urged him to sleep with him, [so] that his soul was vexed unto death; ... If it was a one time affair it would have been okey but she said to him daily daily sleep with me..You get the sand in your shoes and the enemy crashes you daily daily and keeps telling you -why dont you compromise? why dont you give in?....This is how the enemy gets to your nerves daily.

Its the burden of life the daily issues that weigh us down..The enemy wants to put sand in our spiritual shoes David in psalm 73:2 '' But as for me and my feet had almost gone''The scriptures says in Solomon 2:15 ''the little foxes, that spoil the vines''Not the wolves not the lions its the little things that make us loose our hunger with God....Fear,Anxieties,pressures of life,Worries and so on that make us loose our walk with the most high God.

NOTHING IS LITTLE IF IT AFFECTS OUR WALK WITH GOD.

The little things wear as down and in the point of weakness we do something Crazy.

Imagine running on the shore of the lake and the tide blows and feels your shoes with sand how difficult it is to get the sand of your shoes..By the time you are done washing one foot the other foot feels with sand.You cant even get it off becauses it gets in your shoes like Magnet BUT The good news is Jesus never designed for you to wash your own feet.He tells us to go to him and bring all the stuff and the fears and worries of life. Jesus stands with a basin and with water and asks you to bring it to him and he will wash your feet.

And Jesus says when hes done washing your feet he will bring people along the way who have been in your shoes and encourage them that you have been there and they should not quit neither give up and you have to keep walking by faith and such is the beauty of the body of Christ.

Have a burden of someone else to help them avoid the sand from building up and wash one onether.We will not give up God ,We will hope in the Lord..We walk by faith and not by Sight.
