Genesis 24:40 And he said unto me, The Lord, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house:
Before we get into the particulars of this message, allow me to speak to walk in simple basic terms. Before one can walk, placing one foot before the other, the mind must have some objective which causes the body to act. We act and react without giving much thought to walking but at the root of every movement is an objective, conscious or not.
Now let me expound upon this opening verse and relate it to Walking in the Spirit.
Galatians 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
We walk before the Lord in the spirit. So allow me ask, since this is true, how are you to know that wherever you go, that the Lord is still behind you?
Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Isaiah 30:21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
Knowing His Word is to know Him. Know Him in quality and character so that when you hear to go to the right or to the left, you will know it is His voice. This is first and foremost in walking in the spirit and the three elements that follow are based on this knowing.
The angel is mission protection, prosper is the blessings to succeed on your mission, and most important, you will be given a mission objective, a reason to walk.
