FAITH CAPSULE: Know God to walk with God.

Psalm 34

The majority of believers know about God, only know about the truth, unfortunately, not know God, the truth of God to be free.
John 8:32 points out, “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
Do you know about God, the truth of God instead of knowing God, the truth of God?
Knowing God, the truth of God walks with God to be free, living life for the glory of God. 
Determination is not enough to qualify one as walking with God.
A desire (not just determination) to walk with God shall provoke God to deposit what it takes to walk with Him.  
Get to know God in His word, walk with God, stay close to God more than ever before.
The challenging time is now.
One that is right by walking with God is not an excuse not to have challenges but shall experience the deliverance of God in it all.
Psalm 34:19 encourages, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.”
God has walked people through challenging times they have never experienced before.
God, the unchanging that changes stagnation to motion for good, is still on the throne to walk those who walk with Him through in the place of challenges.
Get the understanding that things will never be what they were.
Put aside anything that would keep you from walking with God, not to see, hear from God, continually.
What you hear from God is for you with the understanding but makes no sense to others outside of you.
In walking with God, what one hears is what such will see. Also, it is what one sees that one will receive to become of such.
Noah walks with God to hear unquestionable, unexpected, or acceptable to others but, Noah was obedient to God to ignore others.
Prayerfully walk with, before Him, in Him because the best and the worst time is now, but all will live the time to experience that God alone is the unchanging changer, the only God that reverses the irreversible.
With desire, prayerfully ask for enablement to walk with God.
Enoch walked with God to have a healthy 365 years and had sons and daughters.
Enoch did not die a sudden or untimely death as God took him. (Genesis 5:21-24)
Noah walked with God at a time of corruption and destruction. 
Noah walked with God to find grace before God. 
Genesis 6:9-10 testifies, “Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God. And Noah begot three sons…” 
Abraham walked before God when God called him out to walk before Him. (Genesis 17:1) 
Abraham walked with God by walking before God, to be blameless and possess the promises of God for his life.
Walking with God is walking for God, is also to walk in Him.
WALKING IN HIM
The word of God points that walking with God, walking before God, is walking in
Him. Colossians 2:6 states, “As you, therefore, have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him.”
Have you believed and received God into your life?
Know God, not knowing about God.

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to walk with God.

FAITH CAPSULE: Disallow your concern to allow the command of God.

Jonah 1, 2

Disallowing the command of God is disobedience.
Disobedient to the word of God is an avenue to painful consequences in life.
Disobedience is the evidence of carelessness, not keeping the commandment (word) of God.
Proverbs 19:16 warns, “He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, but he who is careless of his ways will die.” (Proverbs 19:16)
Are you keeping yourself in the word of God for His direction over your life?
Jonah was with the case of disobedience to the command of God.
The book of Jonah 1:1-3 records, “Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.” But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.”
Jonah was careless not to keep to the direction of God over his life.
When God calls and sends one, He will back such one not to fail.
The command of God is His direction to keep but, disobedience will lead to self-destruction. 
Jonah was supposed to obey God regardless of what seemed right to him.
Have you received the calling of God with a specific direction, not your specified idea?
God called Moses out to lead the children of Israel out of the bondage of over four hundred years. 
Moses, out of his concern for God, reacted to the rebellious act of the children of Israel towards God. 
Moses took it upon himself to strike the rock against the direction of God. God responded to the disobedient of Moses, “Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.” (Numbers 20:12)
The same God sent Samuel to go and anoint David while Saul was still living as the King. 
Samuel was concerned about the command of God when he asked, “How can I go? If Saul hears it, he will kill me.” (1 Samuel 16:2) 
Out of concern, Samuel could have responded by going his own way but went by the command of God.
God responded to Samuel, “…Take a heifer with you, and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.’ Then invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do; you shall anoint for Me the one I name to you.”1 Samuel 16:2-3) 
The concern of Samuel could not provoke him to disobey the command of God. 
God alone knows the end from the beginning.
God knows all before the birth of anyone. 
Disallow your concern by allowing His command to have His place.

Prayer for today: Ask to live life by obeying the word of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: The parable of Jesus is with the evidence to walk with Him. 

Matthew 13

Live life for God, follow Him, walk with Him.
Walk with God to please Him and be counted for His reward.
IN WALKING WITH GOD, BE AWAKE SPIRITUALLY 
Are you awake spiritually, living life by the word of God?
The wicked world demands to be awake seeking God diligently and not be asleep spiritually. 
One that is not walking or not living for God is sleeping before God spiritually.
The parable of Jesus is an everyday truth with a spiritual application.
His parable is an earthly truth with a heavenly meaning.
Matthew 13:25-30 records the parable of sleeping in the place of sleeping, “…but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them but gather the wheat into my barn.” 
The above parable of Jesus reveals that sleeping will displace walking with God for the wicked to gain entrance in the life of one sleeping.
One sleeping before God, not walking with God, shall be far from God that is not far from all.
Sleeping before God cannot possibly follow God, walking with God, living life for God.
One that is walking with God shall come out of wickedness.
One that is not walking with God shall walk in line with the evil activities of the wicked world.
God shall judge the wicked world at His appointed time. 
Ecclesiastes 8:11-12 warned, “Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him.” 
Walk with God to follow God continually, do not be counted with the wicked world at the judgment time of God.
Like a seed, sow self in God seek God diligently in your walk.
Walk with God, stand with God to please God, and be rewarded by God.

Prayer for today: Ask that you be rooted in the word, walking by following Him all the days of life He has given you. 

FAITH CAPSULE: Have faith to walk with God by seeking Him diligently. 

Psalm 91

Walking with God is rooted in having faith in God.
Walking with God is seeking God. 
Hebrews 11:6 buttresses, “But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” 
Walking with God to seek Him will find Him.
Seeking God with diligence is taking a position to walk in Him.
Will you seek God diligently?
In this wicked world, for your benefit, do not deceive yourself, walk with God, before Him, and in Him.
Seek God diligently, dwell and abide in God.
Psalm 91:1-3 encourages, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Highest Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Surely, He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence.” 
Let walking with God be your way of life, seeking God to find God.
Walking with God, serving God is living life for God being righteous as word admonishes, “Listen to Me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek the Lord…”(Isaiah 51:1) 
Walking with God, seeking God to serve God is following in line with God.
John 12:26 identifies what it means to serve God, “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.” 
If seeking God to find God is not possible, God would not have asked for all to seek Him diligently, to find Him by following Him. 
One that follows God is not possible to walk in darkness as declared by the word of God in John 8:12, “He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life.” 
Walk with God!
God is true to seek Him diligently to find Him.
David is an example that followed God with his heart, and the Bible records, “…My servant David, who kept My commandments and who followed Me with all his heart, to do only what was right in My eyes.” (1 Kings 14:8) 
Are you with the desire to walk, seek God diligently, following His righteousness of God? 
Walking with God will obey God to keep self in God as His treasure. Exodus 19:5 confirms, “Now, therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.” 
With faith, walk with God, seek God diligently, be obedient to God by pleasing God.

Prayer for today: Ask that you walk with God to follow Him in all His word.
