The Faith of Enoch . . .
…and HOW to get it (Part 2)
Remember, in Part 1, in English, “By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, and was not found, because God had taken him . . .”
That’s what I’m calling, “The Faith of Enoch,” the ultimate death avoidance mechanism.
The revelation given me is that it is not “your” or “my” faith, but rather it is an extension of God-faith, or the faith-of-God and is not possessed, but rather accessed from an intimate relationship with I AM that, I AM.
The next part of the passage, in English, provides a clue as to how:
“…for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 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.”
“Diligently seek him…” what’s that mean?
It is here that I’m hoping that you take an honest look at something: It is difficult to begin a close relationship with a being that has an easily seen and remembered appearance and that with someone with whom there is already some sort of a mutual attraction.
Some people are fortunate to have an easily recognizable (within) desire to know God (by whatever other title or name) at a very young age.
Somewhere around the age of 16, I decided that it was impossible to know if there even was a God, I’d become an Agnostic before hearing the word.
I had a simple argument to rebuff any attempt to convince me otherwise; “You tell me you believe one way somebody, else believes something entirely different and even thinks you’re wrong.
“I’m not saying you’re wrong, or that they’re wrong, I’m just saying, based on all the different beliefs and each one believing any other belief is untrue, I just don’t think it’s possible to know.”
I was 24, when I took a different look …out of desperation, that’s next in:
