EATRITE - 4j - Agreeing with God, Walking with God

Amos 3:3 “Can two walk together except they be agreed?”

Genesis 5:24 “And Enoch walked with God:”

1. Many people DESIRE to walk with God.

How can we truly walk with God, unless we agree with God.
To agree with God is to say the same things He said in His Word… about salvation, healing, answers to prayers, and everything else He tells us.
We must know that God cannot lie. Since he cannot lie, everything He tells us must be true - so it should become easy for us to be able to agree with what He tells us. The Bible calls agreeing with God “having faith.”

Hebrews 11:5.6:
“By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

2. We must agree with God that we are who God says we are: His heaven-born children, new creatures in Christ, more than conquerors through Christ.

We must disagree with the devil who tries to tell us we are “no good,” “a failure,” “a weakling,” “a bad Christian.”
We have to agree with God and disagree with the devil in order to walk with God.

3. We must agree with God that we have what He says we have: His name, His nature, His power, His authority, His love.

Through His word, we own these things already – but we must take possession of them by our spoken words. We possess what we confess. Like Joshua and Caleb, we are the rightful owners of what God has already given us in His word – but we have to take possession of our “promised land” by faith.

4. Enoch walked with God – and so do we by agreeing that God has given us the ability to do what God says we can do: witness with power, cast out demons, lay hands on the sick and have them recover.

“We can do all things through Christ.”

5. If we speak only what our senses dictate, or what the doctor (or accountant, or scientist, or whatever) tells us, then we will not necessarily agree with God.

It is by “speaking the word only” that we agree with God.
It is “a good confession” of our faith that is our victory.

6. In order to walk with God, we must disagree with the devil.

Jesus did this by boldly declaring “It is written,” when he was tempted in the wilderness. (Matthew 4, Luke 4.)
We too, must resist the devil by the Word.

7. Daily we must walk with God by agreeing with God and His Word.

“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have; for he hath said, I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what men shall do unto me.” (Hebrews 13:5,6)

Homework 4j:
Boldly say every day – as many times as you need to say it:
“The Lord is my helper. I choose to agree with Him.
I will not fear. I will walk with Him.
I will resist this harmful thing I want to do to myself/him/her”
Or make your own declaration and say it to yourself every day.
