Four Things You Get From Walking With God

James 4:8, “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.“”

I could list dozens of things that you get from walking with God, but four stand out to me: 

First, you will LOVE everyone, because God is love. 1st John 4:16, “And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.” The key characteristic of a truly born-again Christian is a spirit of love towards others. I am not saying that a person is not saved if they lack love. Christians can backslide and choose to go into sin (Proverbs 14:14). Sometimes difficult circumstances can turn a Christian into a monster, as we see in the life of Saul in the Old Testament, who became consumed with hatred and envy toward David. I am saying that when a believer walks with God, which Saul didn't obviously, they will become loving. As we yield to the Holy Spirit, His love will flow through us toward every living creature.

Second, a believer who walks with God will HATE evil. Psalm 97:10, “Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.” I absolutely hate the modern corrupt Bible versions, because they attack Jesus' deity, remove the Godhead (i.e., Trinity), obliterate theology, pervert the Words of God almighty, and secular the Bible. When I see all these hundreds of thousands of churches today, who maintain an attitude of indifference and complicity toward the Devil's Bible revisions, I know that those pastors and churches DON'T walk with God. A Christian who walks with God WILL HATE abortion, the lies of evolution, violence, adultery, the false gospel of Lordship Salvation, corporate theft, the LGBTQ agenda, government crimes, “Sin City” Las Vegas, and all manner of falsehoods and evil. That doesn't mean we won't sin, but we feel hatred toward it. Evil is simply premeditated sin!

Third, walking with God will give a Christian BOLDNESS. Acts 4:13, “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.” I am bold to preach THE TRUTH in cyberspace, and wherever I go, because I walk with God. I am not perfect. I certainly have my faults. I am a broken redeemed sinner, wondrously saved by God's grace through faith in the precious blood of Jesus Christ. When you spend time walking with God, abiding in the Scriptures, praying, praising and fellowship with Him, you will develop boldness to stand for truth and righteousness, because you love the Lord. God is an authoritative God, who authored an authoritative Holy Bible, and the man who walks with God will preach with authority!!!

Fourth, the believer who walks with God will CARE. I care. God cares. 1st Peter 5:7, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” God cares and if we hang around Him, we will start caring too! I care about the accuracy of the Gospel. God's plan of salvation has been corrupted by Calvinists. I care about the inspiration and purity of God's Word. The false claim that we do not have an inspired Holy Bible today is behind the Bible corrupting movement. You'd think after publishing 900 English Bible revisions that they'd finally get it right! Folks, we have the inspired Words of almighty God in the King James Bible!!! I care, that's why I preach uncompromising without apology like I do. 

You'll develop these four qualities when you walk with God: LOVE, HATE, BOLDNESS and you'll CARE.
