Walking With God
By: Robert A. Searles
Fellow Christians, let us examine ourselves, are we walking each day with God? Is he our constant companion wherever we go, and whatever we do? Do we go anywhere, or do anything that we could not go or do with the companionship of God? Are we really walking with God, or is he just tagging along behind because we have put ourselves, and other things ahead of him?
He has promised never to leave us, nor forsake us; but are we guilty of ignoring his presence with us, because sometimes we want to indulge ourselves; we want to go places, and do things, and be involved in things that we know God will not be a part of because he is Holy and righteous.?
“Enoch walked with God for three hundred years and begat sons and daughters, and all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty five years; and Enoch walked with God and he was not for God took him.” According to Genesis 5: 22,23,24.
Three hundred years is a long time to walk with God, but God and Enoch must have had a glorious time together, because their relationship was so intimate that Enoch was the first person to be raptured. (or caught away). One day God and Enoch were so involved in each others company, that suddenly Enoch was not, for God took him.
God gives special favors and privileges and honors to those who will choose to walk with him, to deny self, and to forsake places, and things, and companions that are not pleasing to God.
“Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. Noah was a just man and perfect in all his generations, and Noah walked with God.” Genesis 6: 8, 9.
Noah was given the honor of preserving life on planet earth during the flood. To walk with God, we must agree with God in all points.
“Can two walk together except they be agreed?” He that would walk with God must believe and agree that he is, and that he is a rewarder of all those who diligently seek him. Without faith it is impossible to please God. To walk with God, we must agree with God when he says: “there is none righteous, no, not one.” Romans 3: 10. And, “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3: 23. And, “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”Romans 6: 23 . To walk with God we must agree with God that these words apply to us, and declare with Paul, that we are chief among sinners, but the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16.
To walk with God, we must agree with God that our standing with him does not come as a result of our good works, or our own righteousness, but “By grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2: 8,9
God made people in his own image to walk with him. This is our calling as the ultimate creation of God.
“Whosoever will may come.” Jesus said. “All who come to me I will in no wise cast out. “He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God.” Micah 6: 8.
“For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.” 2 Chronicles 16: 9.
“He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.” Job 28: 10.
“The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven; his eyes behold, his eyelids try the children of men.” Psalm 11: 4.
“Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy, to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.”Psalm 33: 18, 19
“The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers; but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.” 1 Peter 3: 12.
Beware, we are under constant surveillance. We are constantly being watched. Shakespeare said: “All the world is a stage and men and women merely players.” What he should have said is that men and women are like microbes under God's microscope, although God does not need a microscope to see all the hidden things of man’s heart, his eyes are sufficient. We are being watched by the Lord, and all the host of heaven, to see what our choices will be in any given situation. The Lord's eyes are searching for the person who will choose to walk humbly with him and honor him. God does not overlook anything that he finds to be precious in his sight. God is ready and pleased to reward righteousness, and faithfulness when he finds it.
My fellow Christian, if you have been saved by the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, won't you come out of hiding, as it were, and make yourself known to the world as a Christian, hating sin as God hates sin, but loving the sinner as God loves sinners. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, and glorify God. Fellow Christian, God gives you a free will to choose good or evil, life or death.
This old world in which we live is on its' last legs. Sin and corruption and wickedness prevail everywhere, and even our own beloved country is ripe for the judgment of God. We, who are called the children of God , must choose to walk with God moment by moment, and day by day, and put on the uniform of the redeemed child of God. As a good soldier of Jesus Christ, we must not become so entangled with the things of this life that we would be handicapped in the army of the Lord . If you have tasted and seen that the Lord is good and merciful, and that he has raised you up out of the miry pit, how can you not with gratitude, present yourselves a living sacrifice to God which is your reasonable service, that you might walk with him, and that you might be an instrument in his hand; so that he might work a good work in you and through you as he did with Enoch and Noah, and all the other saints down through the ages who chose to walk with God.
The bible teaches that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming again, and when he comes, he will have with him crowns and rewards for those who were willing to choose to obey him, to hear his call, and go forth to battle for his glory.
Fellow Christian, right now as you read this message, you are of necessity making a choice. What will it be?
Tonight as this old year of 2022 dies . and as the new year if 2023 is born, would be a great time to make the right choice.
Should you be one who may be reading this, and you have never really considered your future and eternal destiny, and you have not yet believed and accepted the LORD JESUS CHRIST as your personal Lord and savior, as the new year is born,I pray that you may also be"born again"
into the family of God.

Backward And Inside Ou
- By: Robert a. Searles
I sometimes fear for our great country, that we might ever be becoming more ripe for the judgment of God, because, more and more it seems that in order to be politically correct, we must turn our backs on absolute truth, and be disobedient to the moral laws and commandments of God and the values of our fathers that once made our land, America, the leader among nations. But more recently those values are being compromised and corrupted, and turned inside out, so to speak, particularly in governmental circles. A warning was issued by the prophet Isaiah to the nation of Israel many centuries ago that because of this very thing, judgment was pending, and history has proven that judgment did come just as Isaiah had predicted.
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil, that put darkness for light, and light for darkness, that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” Isaiah 5: 20.
Who can deny that this is taking place in America today? That which God calls evil, men consider it to be normal and right, and that which God says is good, men ridicule as being old fashioned and irrelevant in today's society. Principles that are being taught and fostered in our educational system today are in direct opposition to the principles that a Holy God has laid down in his Holy Word. According to worldly standards, darkness is considered light, and light is to be considered to be darkness, and bitter is sweet, and sweet is bitter.
“Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight.” Isaiah 5: 21.
Men and women of science, so called, who in their estimation of themselves and their work, think that by their own intelligence and wisdom, they can solve all the mysteries of life and the universe without bringing into their laboratory any consideration of the supernatural intelligence and power of our living God. They prefer to give credit for un-explainable events in the universe to “mother nature” rather than to our “Father God”
“Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!” Isaiah 5:22.23
Instead of being influenced by the spirit of God as God had intended for his creation, men have in the past and still are today, making important and crucial decisions and laws under the influence of alcohol, and drugs, and mind controlling substances. Also, who will deny that many times the wicked are justified and criminals go free through bribes and payoffs of the wealthy in high places.
We must take heed to our ways lest we be judged and destroyed as a free nation under God. We as Christians, in particular, while we wait for the rapture of the church, which according to the word of God will surely come, must take our head out of the sand, and come out of our secluded closets, and let those in authority know that we want truth – God's truth, his morality and his righteousness to prevail in our country. God is not mocked, he is the same today as he was in Isaiah's day. When our great country was founded, there were "Isaiah 's" in the pulpits across the land thundering out their warning from the word of God, and warning of the consequences of sin and disobedience of the word of God. As a result of their preaching, sinners came running to the altar in repentance, falling on their faces, and begging God's forgiveness.
Preachers - instead of seeking everyone's approval and admiration, stand in your pulpits on Sunday mornings, Sunday Evenings, and whenever you have opportunity and tell it like it is. Ask the Holy Spirit, to enable you with power from on high , through you, to name those things which are a stench in the nostrils of God. If you step on my toes, so to speak, and I am convicted of sins in my life that need to be changed, and if you scare the "hell" out of me, then so be it if it means I am all the better for it
If you violate the so called laws of "political correctness" for naming and identifying particular sins, and even lose your tax exemptions, so be it, God will reward you and make up the difference. Use your office as the servant of God and as Isaiah did in his day in Israel, cause the hills and mountains of America to shudder and tremble at the anger of God, but always remind us of the outstretched hand of God's mercy and forgiveness when we acknowledge our sins and repent.
“Therefore, as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so, their root shall be as rottenness. And their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the holy one of Israel. Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.” Isaiah 5: 24,25.
God will surely spare us and bless us if we will sincerely turn back to him, confess our sins, and seek his righteousness.
May God bless America@!

Have You Heard From God this Morning?
By: Robert A. Searles
Have you heard from God our Father this morning? Have you spoken to him, and has he communicated to you his love? Have you stretched forth your hands unto him? Does your soul thirst after him as a thirsty Land? Draw near unto God and he will draw near unto you.
"Call unto me and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." Jeremiah 33:3 . In the morning, as soon as we open our eyes from sleep, we ought to automatically stretch forth our whole being to Jesus our Lord. Our prayer ought to be like that of the psalmist who said: "I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. Cause me to hear thy loving kindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. Deliver me, O Lord from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me. Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake: for thy rigfhteousness sake bring my soul out of trouble. and of thy mercy cut off mine enemies and destroy all them that afflict my soul for I am thy servant." Psalm 143: 6-12

Choose Life!
By Robert A. Searles
“Enter ye in at the strait gate; for wide is the gate, and broad the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be that go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way , which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” Matthew 7: 13, 14 .
If we are saved, and if we know that we are saved and on our way to heaven, stop and think of just how fortunate and blessed we are.
Of all the multitudes of people in the world, we are among the few who are saved and have heaven and the paradise of God to which we can look forward.
Most people who have been born into this world, and there are multitudes, both dead and living, who have walked the broad highway of death and eternal destruction, and will spend eternity in hell, having neglected, and rejected God's offer of forgiveness and salvation.
How precious we ought to esteem the grace of God that has been extended to us through the Lord Jesus Christ! How we ought to treasure this great inheritance we have in Christ!
Relatively few people have received it, although God is not willing that any should perish, and his grace is extended to all who will hear and respond to his call. Blessed are all those whom God has caused to be born into the family of God and have entered the narrow gate that leads to eternal life How great is our God, and how great and how precious is our salvation!

Christ- The End of the Law!
“For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.”Romams 10
1Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. 5For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 6But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 7Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.
