Our Walk With The Lord

OUR WALK WITH THE LORD

1. THE LORD WANTS US TO BE HIS FRIENDS THROUGH OUR OBEDIENCE

SCRIPTURE REFERENCE

JOHN 15:14 -15

14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.

15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.

2. THE LORD WANTS TO USE US TO DEMONSTRATE HIS POWER AND DELIVERANCE

SCRIPTURE REFERENCE

EXODUS 33:11

11 So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp, but his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tabernacle.

DEUTERONOMY 34:10 - 12

10 But since then there has not arisen in Israel a prophet like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,

11 in all the signs and wonders which the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt, before Pharaoh, before all his servants, and in all his land,

12 and by all that mighty power and all the great terror which Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.

3. THE LORD WANTS US TO DEMONSTRATE OUR FAITH BY OUR ACTIONS

SCRIPTURE REFERENCE

JAMES 2:20-23

20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar?

22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect?

23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God.

4. THE LORD WILL SUSTAIN US THROUGH ALL THE ATTACKS OF THE ENEMY

SCRIPTURE REFERENCE

GENESIS 49:22-24

22 “Joseph is a fruitful bough,

A fruitful bough by a well;

His branches run over the wall.

23 The archers have bitterly grieved him,

Shot at him and hated him.

24 But his bow remained in strength,

And the arms of his hands were made strong

By the hands of the Mighty God of Jacob

(From there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel),

5. THE LORD WILL STRENGTHEN US WHEN WE BECOME WEAK AND WEARY

SCRIPTURE REFERENCE

Isaiah 40 ;29-31

29 He gives power to the weak,

And to those who have no might He increases strength.

30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary,

And the young men shall utterly fall,

31 But those who wait on the Lord

Shall renew their strength;

They shall mount up with wings like eagles,

They shall run and not be weary,

They shall walk and not faint.

6. THE LORD WILL HONOUR US WHEN WE LOVE HIM AND SERVE HIM

SCRIPTURE REFERENCE

PSALM 91:14-16

14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;

I will set him on high, because he has known My name.

15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble;

I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life I will satisfy him,

And show him My salvation.”

John 12:26

26 If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.

7. THE LORD WILL MAKE US A FLAME OF FIRE AND USE US FOR HIS GLORY

SCRIPTURE REFERENCE

HEBREWS 1:7

7 And of the angels He says:

“Who makes His angels spirits

And His ministers a flame of fire.”

PSALM 104:4

4 Who makes His angels spirits,

His ministers a flame of fire.
