The key is doing what Enoch did. "And after he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters....Enoch walked with God: then he was no more, because God took him away.”
(Genesis 5:22,24)
The key to spiritual maturity is "Walking with God" like Enoch did.
In this message I bring out three things, that are very important principles in our walk with God.
First of all we must be going in the same direction as God is going.
The Apostle Paul spoke of his confidence concerning the Christians at Philippi; that the good work that the Lord had begun in them, He would complete, in time for when His Son, would return and take them home, for eternity. God is working in the direction of building spiritual maturity, in our lives. The question is are we cooperating?
The second thing is that we must keep in step with God.
Our walk is a walk of balance. Well who keeps us in that balance? It is God, and His Word. Without Him to guide us, and strengthen us, we are sure to fall.
And then third, there must be agreement.
(Amos 3:3) "Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?"
If we are to walk with God, there must not be a conflict with His will for our lives. He is Lord! And what that means is, that He is in control of our lives, not us. If we want to gain "Spiritual Progress" we need to pursue our walk with God. Enoch did it for 300 years, and was blessed because of it. What about us?
