A person that knows the Lord and is walking in His Ways has an established Heart. Paul had an established heart, a consistent way of life. His life was built upon the Rock Jesus Christ.

Proverbs 4: 23 Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life. (Amp. C)

Colossians 3: 1 – 3 IF THEN you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and seek the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. (2) And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth. (3) For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God (Amp. C)

Galatians 5: 25 If we live by the [Holy] Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. [If by the Holy Spirit we have our life in God, let us go forward walking in line, our conduct controlled by the Spirit.] (Amp. C)

A person walking in the ways of the Lord having an established heart is fixed, steadfast, unwavering, trusting in the Lord always and in all circumstances no matter what those circumstances are.

A person walking in the ways of the Lord having an established heart does not weaver in times of trouble or distress.

He does not waver because he knows that he is not alone. God Himself is with him.

A person walking in the ways of the Lord having an established heart does not worry, fret, or fear. They do not focus on the problem but on the answer

In order to know God and His Ways we must be born-again. If we are not born-again we have no connection to Him.

Ephesians 2: 12 – 13 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. (13) But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. (NKJV)

John 3: 3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (NKJV)

John 3: 5 – 7 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. (6) That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. (7) Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ (8) The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” (NKJV)

In order to know God and His Ways we must be born-again, and we must draw near to Him.

James 4: 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. (NKJV)

As born-again believers the Holy Spirit Himself dwells in us. He reveals the Living Word of God to us as we study the Word, Pray, and walk the Love Walk. The Living Word of God reveals Who God Is and God’s Ways.

We cannot know God or His Ways with the human intellect. We can know about God, but we cannot know Him with our intellect.

We can only know God by the Spirit. Knowing God is heart or spirit knowledge, not head knowledge.

God IS Spirit.

John 4: 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”(NKJV) (1st John 4: 7 & 16 God Is Love 1st John 4: 17… As He Is So Are We In This World.)

We are Spirit Beings.

1st Thessalonians 5: 23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (NKJV)

To know Him: To go beyond just knowing about God. To go beyond just friendship. But to have a deep intimate, personal relationship with God. To know His Ways or Character. As Jesus prayed in John 17 that we may be One.

John 17: 21  That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me. (Amp. C)

In order to be able to walk in the Ways of The Lord we must know the Lord. We can know about God and The Ways of The Lord and not walk in His Ways.

God Himself has a deep desire for us to know Him and to reveal His Ways to us. He reveals His Ways through His Word.

In order for us to truly know God and walk in His Ways we must first be Born-Again.

God Himself took the first step for Mankind to be able to know Him in His Fulness.

I cannot really know someone unless they want to know me too.

John 3: 16 – 17 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. (17) For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him. (Amp. C) 

1st John 2: 2 – 6 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. (3) Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. (4) He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. (5) But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. (6) He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked. (NKJV)

It is God’s Will to reveal His Ways to us through Jesus (The Living Word) by the Holy Spirit.

The Bible is a copy of the Living Word of God.  It reveals the very nature and character of God Himself, Who He Is and His Ways.

The Bible reveals who we are and what our ways should be.

The Bible also reveals who Satan is and his ways.

It is absolutely vital that we know the Ways of the Lord.  All of God’s Ways are revealed in Jesus Christ.  As we study God’s Living Word, and walk in Love, God’s Ways are revealed to us by the Holy Spirit.

Colossians 2: 2 – 3  [For my concern is] that their hearts may be braced (comforted, cheered, and encouraged) as they are knit together in love, that they may come to have all the abounding wealth and blessings of assured conviction of understanding, and that they may become progressively more intimately acquainted with and may know more definitely and accurately and thoroughly that mystic secret of God, [which is] Christ (the Anointed One). (3) In Him all the treasures of [divine] wisdom (comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God) and [all the riches of spiritual] knowledge and enlightenment are stored up and lie hidden.  (Amplified Classic)

God’s Ways are hidden in Christ Jesus but revealed to God’s children by the Holy Spirit as we set our love upon God and walk the love walk. It is the will of God and His deep desire to reveal Himself to His People.
