Walking With God
Contributed by Samuel M on Apr 7, 2025 (message contributor)
Summary: Walking with God is a process in which God removes( or empties) our will and replaces it with His will. Our self will be replaced by Christ. It will be no longer be I who live, but Christ lives in me. Christ will live in us, and our self will be dead.
Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away. Genesis 5:24
Maybe Enoch walked with God till his will was no more, for God took Enoch’s will and replaced it with His will. It was no more Enoch living in his physical body, but God living within him. Enoch and God became one. It was a bond of divine union between God and Enoch.
Enoch’s will was no more, and once his will was no more, he became one with God, and his home shifted from earth to heaven. God became his family and he did not have anything left on earth. Enoch was no more attached or connected to earth, so God took Enoch to heaven. Enoch was already dead to the world, and he didn't need another death. His will and self were dead, and all of his desires had shifted from worldly to divine.
One thing that was special about Enoch was – he walked with God very quickly, that without death he reached heaven. He was dead to the world & its desires quickly, that God took him to heaven. His will was replaced by God’s will very quickly. He was no more; instead, it was God who was living in him. Maybe if God quickly replaces our will with His will, we will become one with God and God will live in us.
Walking with God is a process in which God removes( or empties) our will and replaces it with His will. Our self will be replaced by Christ. It will be no longer be I who live, but Christ lives in me. Christ will live in us, and our self will be dead. We will walk with God until we (self and will) are no more, and we become one with God. We will walk with God until he lives in us, and we become one with God. We and God will walk together until we become one entity, and that one entity is Jesus. We will walk together with God until a holy divine union is formed and we become one with Him.
When we walk with God in our earthly journey, He will slowly take away our will and replace it with His will, transforming us into His son Jesus Christ. During this walk, we will gradually lose interest in earthly things and develop interest in heavenly things, until we are no longer attached or related to earth and connected to heaven. We will become dead to the world. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.
