10 September 2017 - ENCS

Pastor Joey spoke about Enoch using Genesis chapter five
Per two verses, Enoch "walked with God" while he was alive
But then Enoch “was no more, because God took him away”
The fact that he did not die is unique, Pastor Joey did say

The prophecy of Enoch is mentioned in Jude verse fourteen 
God would come to execute judgement, it is clearly seen
The Lord revealed His plans to prophets, per Amos three
Which is why the Old Testament is important for us to see

Enoch fathered Methuselah, whose name was a prophecy
“His death shall bring judgement” was a Godly guarantee
Seven days before the flood, at age nine hundred sixty nine
Methusaleh died, his grandson Noah to carry the bloodline

In order to fully appreciate His grace, we must fear the Lord
In this regard, Proverbs nine verse ten should not be ignored
In Matthew ten verse twenty eight, the disciples did all hear
As Jesus reiterated that God, not any man, we should fear

Enoch did not experience death, per Hebrews chapter eleven
Because he walked in faith, God took him directly to heaven
Romans ten verse seventeen says faith comes from hearing
Hearing the word of Christ is thus more than just endearing

Three steps we can take to have faith, Pastor Joey did highlight 
Being in God’s Presence, not being present, is what is right
Agreeing with God, not merely acknowledging Him, is key
Choosing God’s Pleasure over ours should be our reality

Per Psalm sixteen, in God’s presence there is fullness of joy
Since God is everywhere, this true joy nothing can destroy
We cannot please God without faith, per Hebrews eleven
And if we have faith, our eternal reward awaits in heaven
