 Gen.5: 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.
NLT:
Gen.5: 23. Enoch lived 365 years in all.
: 24. He enjoyed a close relationship with God
throughout his life. Then suddenly, he disappeared because God took him.
God
/ Father Yahweh, so desire relationship with humanity to the point that
even before the foundation of the world was laid; He (knowing all
things had man’s redemption plan in place)
KJV:
Rev.13: 8. And
all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not
written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the
world.
Walking with God is something that requires a
relationship with Him and not just religiously knowing of Him. The
evidence of religiously knowing about God is clearly seen today
throughout the religious church world; as there are many religious
leaders who are mesmerizing their congregations with claims such as:
“God told me, to tell you that He’s about to anoint you or bless you
with this or that” And the itching ear, gullible, naïve religious
audience goes wild.
Relationship with God
has been made accessible for all humanity through His Son, Yeshua
Messiah (a.k.a. Jesus the Christ). The prerequisite for such
relationship is having faith in God and being a disciple of Yeshua
Messiah.
Walking with God is a dying to self process; this is
where the believer say “I no longer live, but Christ lives in me” or
“I decrease as He increase”
The religious aspect of just knowing
about God is a very dangerous position for one to be in. Being in this
position has led many religious leaders astray along with their
followers / congregations; Jim Jones and David Koresh are prime examples
of this fact.
Religion has a subtle way of promoting its leaders (
man / woman ), thereby the leaders no longer serves the people but
rather looks forth to being served.
Here’s another dangerous position
in religion that the leaders have taken: In order to stay on top of
their game and to be revered as the (Man /
Woman of God) many religious leaders have resorted to telling lies in
God’s name.
Watch this !
In the natural, nobody likes the idea
of anybody telling lies in their name; well, how much more in the
spiritual realm do you think the concept of telling lies in God’s name
is appreciated ?
This practice of telling lies in God’s name is so
common in the religious church in that leaders does it continually /
rapidly without fear. As I watch various religious programs / broadcast
to see what the people are being fed; I’m most disappointed to see that
religious leaders, in order to move or stir up their congregations
takes a delight in telling the people “That God told me to tell you,
that He’s about to bless you with some sort of material stuff (A new
car, a house, etc;) mean while the nation is on a slippery slop to hell”
Or, how many times have you heard something like this from
religious leaders “I don’t know who
I’m talking to in here, but God told me to tell you” One of the
greatest problem with this sort of religious, lying rhetoric is this !
The gods of these religious leaders seems to have problems in
identifying the recipient of their so-called sent messages which always
leads the religious leaders to make their hallmark statement “I don’t
know who I’m talking too, but God told me to tell you”
What
we’re seeing and hearing from today’s religious leaders is nothing new;
for the prophet Jeremiah saw and experienced the very same thing; and
throughout the book of Jeremiah, Yahweh spoke to him concerning the
false prophets who were prophet-lying in His name. (Jer.7:10 - 30, 23:1
- 40, 25:15, 29:9 - 32, 32:34, 34:15 - 16, 44:26,)
Jer.14:
14. Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name:
I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither
spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination,
and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
: 15.
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in
my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not
be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
An
obedient disciple walking with the Lord gets accurate information via
the Holy Spirit and needs not play the religious game of “I don’t know
who I’m talking too in here, but God told me to tell you”
Watch this !
Acts.9:
10. And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and
to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am
here, Lord.
: 11. And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the
street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for
one called Saul, of Tarsus: for,
behold, he prayeth,
Church leaders, if we return to walking
with God; you won’t have live dangerously by lying on His name and
making dumb statements like “I don’t know who I’m talking too in here”
