Christ Jesus: Walking with Christ

In my recent journaling, God has been telling me about what walking with Christ is. Through the verses in Luke 14:25-33 and 2 Timothy; God shared with me some key elements to walking with Christ.

- Walking with Christ requires full commitment (commitment that comes from the heart)
- Walking with Christ means I have one enemy to battle with - the Father of Lies (Satan)
- Walking with Christ requires that I be rooted in Him through the Word (Bible)
- Walking with Christ requires me to renounce all past beliefs
- Walking with Christ requires me to clean my body temple of any spiritual bondages (In the bible, our body is regarded as God's temple)
- Walking with Christ means I have to walk righteously with a renewed mind and heart
- Walking with Christ means walking in the light of TRUTH - God's truth
- Walking with Christ requires me to put on the armor of God everyday - resisting the devil
- Walking with Christ means to carry my cross everyday
- Walking with Christ requires me to depend on God's understanding and the guidance of His Holy Spirit not my mind in the flesh

How is your relationship with Jesus and our Heavenly Father? Is there something you need to confess to God? Ask and you shall receive. When we ask our heavenly Father to reveal to us the very things we need to make it right, he is faithful to grant us that wisdom. Sometimes it may not be the very things we want to hear/see but being an obedient servant to God; we must face those demons of our life so we can be set free in Christ.

God is not out there to harm us but prune us into the fruitful being he designed us to be. Whatever that may be holding you back from having a closer relationship with our Heavenly Father - CONFESS (1 John 1:9/Psalm 38:18) then COMMIT (Psalm 37:5) to walk in the TRUTH. By God's grace and our will power in the flesh, the roaring lion can be tamed - by this I mean you are more capable to fight the battle of the mind with the evil one that is out to devour us at every opportunity it gets. God's Word is the sword of truth. Use the sword of truth to cut off the lies and deceptions that the evil one has planted in our minds.

We are God's child - holy and acceptable. (John 1:12/Romans 5:1)

We have been bought with a price. I belong to God. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)

We are born of God and the evil one cannot touch us (1 John 5:18)

We are able to do all things through Christ who gives me strength (Philippians 4:13)
