1. Noah walked with God and became close to Him, and God revealed to him that He would destroy humanity. Have we been intimate with God? Do we know His desires? Let us not dare to act on our own. God reveals Himself first to prophets— those who walk in His presence and, therefore, are used as prophets. We need to learn to walk with God. (Genesis 6:9; Amos 3:7).
2. We need to listen attentively to God’s words and do nothing based on our own ability or knowledge but walk in His presence and listen to His voice. For this we have immersion—to delve into the word and walk with God. We cannot accomplish anything without being in His presence. This is how the prophets are: they do not act on their own, but walk before the Lord (Amos 3:8; Proverbs 3:5-6).
3. Before the fall, in the Garden of Eden, man walked in the presence of God and lived by His word. God’s word satisfies us and leads us to His presence; without it, we wouldn’t even know how to live. If we walk in the presence of the Lord, attentively listening to His Word, we will live fully and in alignment with His purpose (Matthew 4:4).
4. “The way God communicates with us in fellowship is through Christ, who is the Word: […] (John 1:1 KJV). We communicate with God by receiving His Word. For this reason, it is so important to receive God’s Word in the spirit, and not just in the mind” (Daily Bread, book 2, week 4, Friday, p. 66).
