The Walk Of Faith
Sunday July 30, 2023
Notes
Philippians 3:7 NKJV
But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.
But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.
Philippians 3:10 AMP
For my determined purpose is that I may know Him that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly, and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection which it exerts over believers, and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed in spirit into His likeness even to His death…
Faith To Know Him
Genesis 5:21-24 NKJV
Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah. 22 After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters. 23 So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. 24 And Enoch walked (in habitual Fellowship) with God; and he was not, for God took him.
Hebrews 11:5–6 NKJV
By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6 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.
Diligent
To seek out from a secret place, from all sides.
To seek after diligently carefully, search for, investigate, to crave diligently seek Him
Daily Draw Near To Him
Hebrews 11:6 ESV
And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
Hebrews 10:19–23 NKJV
Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, 21 and having a High Priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
James 4:8 NKJV
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you…
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you…
Galatians 5:3–6 NLT
I’ll say it again. If you are trying to find favor with God by being circumcised, you must obey every regulation in the whole law of Moses. 4 For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace. 5 But we who live by the Spirit eagerly wait to receive by faith the righteousness God has promised to us. 6 For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, there is no benefit in being circumcised or being uncircumcised. What is important is faith expressing itself in love.
Wait On The Lord
Isaiah 40:29–31 NKJV
He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
31 But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
Wait – Hebrew qâvâh
This is a different word from just sitting passively.
It’s a primitive root; to bind together (perhaps by twisting), i.e. collect; (figuratively) to expect: —gather (together), look, patiently, tarry, wait (for, on, upon).
It’s the concept hat those who are braided together with God, that as your waiting your being In twined together with him.
Isaiah 40:31 NKJV
31 But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
Psalm 145:18 NKJV
The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.
John 4:23 NKJV
But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
