A Closer Walk With God
The enemy is after your relationship with God. He is envious of your relationship with God. He does not want worship and praise to occur. If we have this understanding then it should motivate us to resist the bait of Satan. Hebrews 11:5 "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." Before Enoch's translation he was pleased with God. Translate means to go to one place to another. If you were to translate by your own power, you would have to drive, swim, walk, ride and everything else by your own power. Enoch, however was translated by the power, word and Spirit of God. Paul in 2nd Corithians 12:2 he describes his partial translation in God where he was taken to another place. His body remained on earth but his Spirit was translated to another place in God.
If you worship God he will find you. Imagine for a second if you worship God and he becomes please with your walk. Can you imagine the doors and blessings that will unlock. Don't let anyone stop your worship because just in your worship, God can shift you. We have to get to know Christ as your friend. If you don't understand the level of friendship of God, you will think that he is mad at you. Those that are friends to the world are enemy to God. The friendship with Jesus is a covenant friendship in that he will die for you. People could not understand Jesus because he fellowship with sinner. Jesus will release you from other people so that you can be his friend.
We are not letting God in certain areas of our life and therefore the pull of the world is keeping us back. If you are living one foot in the world and one foot in God, then because you are balancing with your walk in God, it will take only one storm of life to knock you over. Stop allowing the world to taint our worship. God is not please with our worship. He wants us to walk side by side with him. The world has nothing to offer. The enemy will get you so down that you will not have strength to cry out for help. Your life should be to the point where the enemy can't use anything to pull you back into sin. Whatever it is, you need to break it.
Always Seek The Truth!
