The Ultimate Adventure! - Walking with God

Greetings, my friends.
For over thirty years, I chased peak experiences and goals that were often fabricated from what I observed as adventures and success in the lives of people I would read about but never met.
Then, now, over three decades later, I have the divine opportunity to share with you, “The Ultimate Adventure! - Walking with God!”
I can confidently say that walking with God is not a fantasy but a daily reality.
God offers the invitation to everyone and promises to walk with us. The promise begins with identity. Ephesians says we are God’s masterpiece, created anew in Christ Jesus for good works prepared long ago.
Our value and identity are determined exclusively by God. That means our worth is determined by what God says about us. Therefore, walking with God changes everything for us.
Our purpose is not improvised; it is discovered. When we grasp this, the pressure to self-invent, self-actualize is removed.
God sees me as His masterpiece! This reality has reshaped my choices, my work, and my relationships - everything in my life.
The adventure begins in a relationship with God through faith and belief in Jesus alone. At the moment we accept God’s invitation through Jesus, the Holy Spirit of God comes to live inside us. We are united with Jesus in our spirit. The power originates in our spirit. Walking with God flows from spirit to soul to body.
Becoming one with God is a transformational process that occurs over time. As we grow in our walk with God, our thinking aligns with who God says we are, what He says He will do, and our trust and confidence that, through His promises to us, all the good works planned for us will be accomplished, thereby impacting everyone we meet.
“The Ultimate Adventure! Walking with God!"

Greetings, my friends. Tony Williams here. God loves you unconditionally. God sees you exactly where you are, and He has a wonderful plan for you. Think about this. What is the greatest and most exciting experience, good experience that you've ever had in your lifetime? God offers you something infinitely greater. How does that happen? It's called the ultimate adventure, walking with God. The ultimate adventure, walking with God. I'm so excited to share this message with you. I just pray in the name of Jesus that God gives me the words to communicate it. First and foremost, in Ephesians the second chapter, verse 10, listen how God describes you. For we are God's masterpiece. He created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago. You are God's masterpiece, created by omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent God, created as his masterpiece. For what purpose? That we would know him, that we would walk with him and enjoy the ultimate adventure, walking with God. Can you imagine anything greater than that? Walking with the creator of the universe? How does he do that? He does it by coming to live on the inside of us. When we say, Jesus, I want you to be my Savior and my Lord, I believe in you, Jesus. I receive you now. At that very moment, that declaration of faith in Jesus, the Holy Spirit of God, all the power of God, comes to live on the inside of us. Think about that. All of God living on the inside of us in the presence of his Holy Spirit. What does that mean for us? This is what he says in John the 16th chapter, verse 13. When he, the Spirit of truth, speaking of the Holy Spirit, comes, he will guide you into all truth. For he will not speak on his own initiative, but whatever he hears, he will speak, and he will disclose to you, my friend, what is to come. Think about that. God coming to disclose to you, to be with you, and to teach you all things and to be in you. Think about this in John the 14th chapter, verse 26. He will teach you all things. The Holy Spirit in us teaches us all things. Why does he have to teach us all things? Because the things that God has planned, the good works that he has prepared in advance for you, specifically for you, can only be accomplished by the Holy Spirit giving you instruction and guidance and insight that you need to navigate all the nuances that you face on your life and career journey. It's a beautiful thing. And not only will he teach you, he empowers you. He gives you supernatural spiritual gifts that are uniquely designed just for you to accomplish the things that God has planned for you. Whew, think about it. He, Father God, has left nothing to chance. He's given us everything we need for life and for godliness. And with that, we have this confidence that we are walking with the living God. Where are you right now? Are you raising a family? Are you starting a career? Are you in college? Are you wondering what God has in store for you? Don't wonder any longer. God has a purpose, a plan, and a will for your life. And he has you providentially listening to this message so you will get it. He is speaking to you. And this is what he says: I love you. I love you unconditionally. I have a wonderful plan for you. Let's walk together. The ultimate adventure: walking with God. How do we walk with God? We walk with him in our spirit. When the Spirit comes to live on the inside of us, we become one with Jesus. The Spirit of God in us united with our spirit. And from there it overflows to our mind, our will, and our emotions, our soul. And from there it overflows into our body. Our countenance changes. If you have a sad countenance, when you meet Jesus, your countenance changes for joy. But it starts from the inside and it goes out. Spirit, soul, and body. So this has a marvelous truth for us that we don't have to accomplish anything on our own. Because God is with us, God is in us, and God is for us. And God has given us everything that we need for life and for godliness. What a magnificent truth this is, my friend. Loved unconditionally by God, created anew. The old you, by the way, is gone. Satan will try to tempt us to think about the old you, the things you used to do, the way you were, the things you've said and done that were not pleasing to God. When Jesus died on the cross and he rose from the dead and paid the penalty for all of our sins, that empowers us and makes available to us a brand new start. That's why he said, We have been created anew in Christ Jesus. That's a beautiful thing. A fresh beginning, a brand new start. Not a makeover, not a renovation, but a brand new you. I think it's a wonderful thing that God gives us everything we need to walk with him. Why do why don't more people walk with God? I believe because their eyes are veiled. The things of the world, the glitter and the glamour and all the voices confuse us sometimes. We believe that that's what we need. But God is saying in a still quiet voice, I love you. You are my child. You are my masterpiece. Think about that. Your identity in Christ, God's masterpiece. God's masterpiece. Let that sink in, my friend. And I pray though, and I know the Holy Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit of God is all over the planet. God is everywhere through his Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit teaches us, leads us, guides us, and affirms us of who we are. And once we know who we are, we then take that step of faith to say, Jesus, I believe you. I'm walking with you. Holy Spirit in me, lead me, guide me, empower me. And then through the spiritual gifts that he gives you that are uniquely designed for you to accomplish the good things that he's planned for you, you begin to walk with the living God. And here's the thing I want to share with you. The walking with the living God is the ability to have an ongoing conversation with God. When you wake up in the night, talk with your Father in heaven. When you're walking through the day, talk with your Father in heaven. This morning, I was looking out our backyard and I saw some beautiful trees that God had helped me plant. And they were flourishing and prospering. And I was thinking, Father God, thank you for allowing me to see these trees flourishing and prospering. God will prosper everything that you put your hand to, because these are the good works that He has planned in advance that you should walk in them. And if God has planned it, you can be assured that it's coming to pass. Father, I love you and I thank you for my brothers and my sisters all around the world. Let your Holy Spirit speak to them that they are loved unconditionally, that you're inviting them to have the ultimate adventure. The ultimate adventure, walking with the living God. In Jesus' name I pray that you manifest your presence to them wherever they are, whenever they hear this message, that they'll receive it and say, Yes, Jesus, I receive you as my Savior and my Lord. I'm going to walk with you. I'm going to enjoy your presence, and I'm going to do all the good works that you ordained and planned for me long ago. In the power of your Holy Spirit in me, for the glory of God through me, and for the blessings to me, my family, my loved ones, my clients, my customers, and those you place on my journey along the way. In Jesus' name. Amen.
