How To Walk With God

James 4:6-11, “But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.”

HOW TO WALK WITH GOD

(by Pastor Jack Hyles, 1926-2001)

Here are some golden truths that I gleaned from the sermon...

“I'm not a good Christian, but I'd help my bitterest enemy, and that's the truth.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “How To Walk With God”

“I don't hate anybody; I love everybody!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “How To Walk With God”

“I do care. Nobody ever gets mad at me when I don't cry about it.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “How To Walk With God”

“You have a right to hear a man who's walked with God.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “How To Walk With God”

“Did you know when you walk with God you're not going to be very usual; something very odd about you. Did you know the more you walk with God the more peculiar you're going to be.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “How To Walk With God”

l encourage you to listen to Pastor Hyles' life changing sermon dear friend. There's no secret to walking with God. As a redeemed child of God, you just need to spend time with Him by meditating in His inspire Word (Psalms 1:1-3). Learn to love the inspired King James Bible. Psalms 139:17, “How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!” Listen to lots of fundamentalist Bible preaching, pray about everything (Philippians 4:6-8). Although I don't agree with Pastor Steven L. Anderson on several doctrinal issues, he is one of the finest soulwinning preachers of our generation. Faithful Word Baptist Church in Phoenix, Arizona (for 2025 to 2026) led 10,121 lost sinners to Jesus Christ. Brother Anderson personally led 182 people to faith in Jesus Christ.

To walk with God, maintain a thankful spirit continually toward God (1st Thessalonians 5:18). The Holy Bible is the most wonderful Book I've ever read. It is a Living Book (Hebrews 4:12). 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.” When you walk with God, you will be emboldened to stand for truth and righteousness. That is why I preach boldly the way I do, unapologetically with uncompromising truthfulness and transparency. That is why for the past 24 years of website ministry, as a Christian missionary to cyberspace, I have never received a single penny for my 50,000 hours of diligent labor day and night for my blessed God and Savior.

Ye Must Be Born Again

Dear reader, if you have not been born again, you can never walk with God (Romans 8:9). God's wrath rests upon the head of anybody who isn't saved (Psalms 7:11). John 3:36, “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” If you don't know 100% that your name is recorded in Heaven, you can know right now (1st John 5:13).

If you want to go to Heaven, simply acknowledge that you are a guilty sinner under the condemnation of God's Old Testament law (Romans 3:19-20). There is a penalty for your sin, which is to spend eternity burning in the fires of Hell (Revelation 14:11, 20:11-15, 21:8). That's the BAD NEWS! The 'GOOD NEWS' (i.e., GOSPEL) is that God the Father sent His only begotten (biological) Son into the world to die in your place on Calvary's cross 2,000 years ago. Jesus paid a debt He did not owe, because we owed a debt of sin we could not pay.

To be saved, you must come to God by faith (taking God at His written Word) as a needy sinner. You need to know what your being saved from. Simply accept Christ's sacrificial death on the cross as full payment for your sins, believing that He was buried, but then miraculously resurrected from the dead three days later. This is “the gospel” according to 1st Corinthians 15:1-6. BELIEVE IT, oh sinner, and the work is done.

Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” I LOVE THAT! The Gospel is the “power” of God to save whosoever BELIEVES IT. The Gospel is not good advice to be lived, it is GOOD NEWS to be believed. Satan's greatest weapon is to con people into living the Christian life without ever being born again. It's not what you're doing that gets you to Heaven, it's where you're looking. LOOK TO JESUS! Isaiah 45:22, “Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.”

That is what it means in John 3:14-15, “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” God had sent fiery deadly serpents to bite the Hebrews as a consequence of their persistent complaining against God and Moses. God sent serpents to bite the Hebrews as a punishment for their complaints and lack of faith during their journey in the Wilderness. This incident led them to recognize their sin and seek God's mercy, which He provided by instructing Moses to create a bronze serpent for healing. Moses instructed the Jews to LOOK AND LIVE! ...

Numbers 21:7-9, “Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.”

That brass serpent which Moses made symbolized Jesus Christ, the sinless Lamb of God who became as sin for us sinners who knew no righteousness (2nd Corinthians 5:21). The way to be saved dear reader is to simply come to God by faith as a guilty sinner (bitten by the serpent of sin), and LOOK TO JESUS! It's that easy, free and simple to get to Heaven.

John 6:28-29, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.”
