And Enoch walked with God: and he
was not; for God took him (Genesis 5:24).
Hebrews 11:5 further enlightens us on how Enoch walked with God; it was
by faith: "By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and
was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he
had this testimony, that he pleased God." Hebrews 11:6 states that without
faith, it’s impossible to please God. Religious Christianity teaches that you
have to struggle to please God, and to walk with Him. However, the reality is
that you don’t have to struggle to please God, because the Holy Spirit helps
you live the faith life that pleases Him.
When people struggle and still don’t seem to make meaningful progress in
life you can tell they don’t have much fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Real
fellowship with the Holy Spirit makes a difference. He’ll make you wise. He’ll
produce extraordinary results through you; you’ll have an excellently fulfilled
life. I’m absolutely fulfilled in Him. My life has only been in one
direction—upwards and forward—for one simple reason: walking with the Holy
Spirit.
We read that Enoch walked with God, and he was translated that he should
not see death. Death isn’t just the cessation of biological life; it represents
poverty, defeat, sickness, failure or destruction that work in men’s
lives: the death that works in their minds, visions and dreams! All of that
will have no power over you because you’ve been translated above
"death"—in your job, finances, education, family and ministry.
When Christ came into your life, you were translated from the dominion
of darkness into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son (Colossians 1:13); that’s where
you are now! Walk with the Spirit and enjoy your glorious life in Him.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the glorious life in
Christ, and my inextricable union with you. I revel even now, in the beauty and
glory of your divine embrace, conscious of your eternal love for me! Thank you
for transporting me to higher levels of glory, as I fellowship with the Holy
Spirit, who enlightens me in the way that I should go, and fills my life with
pleasantness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
