God continually speaks to us. That's what happens when you have a relationship with someone. They talk to you. In close relationships they reveal their heart to you. God wants to reveal His heart to us. The Lord wants to share His secrets with those He loves. 

​I always encourage people to journal what God speaks to you and what He shows you. Give honor to that relationship and He will reveal to you even more. Write the vision.

What does it truly mean to walk in the spirit and power of Moses, Enoch, and Elijah? Is such a life even possible for us today? When we look at the extraordinary lives of these men, it’s easy to be awestruck by their intimate walk with God and the supernatural manifestations of His power in their lives. They stood as giants of faith, consecrated vessels through whom God performed miracles, revealed His glory, and executed His will on earth. But can we really emulate their walk? Are we genuinely willing to make the sacrifices they made, laying down our own lives, ambitions, and agendas to follow God fully? And assuming that we are willing, is it enough? Is it possible?
These are challenging questions. Many of us love the idea of walking in miraculous power—calling down fire from heaven like Elijah, seeing seas part like Moses, or ascending into glory like Enoch. We marvel at the dramatic events and supernatural acts, but these are the visible results of something much deeper. The lives of these men were not simply marked by power; they were marked by consecration. They lived lives fully surrendered to God, forsaking the building of their own kingdoms to establish His. They were willing to be servants, to lay down everything for the sake of glorifying Him.
The truth is, we tend to focus on the end result—the miracles, the manifestations of power—without considering the road that led there. Walking in the spirit and power of these men requires a foundation of humility, obedience, and intimacy with God. Moses, Enoch, and Elijah were not extraordinary because they sought power; they were extraordinary because they sought God. The power flowed naturally from their consecration and relationship with Him.
Are We Willing to Pay the Price?
The reality is that walking in the spirit and power of Moses, Enoch, and Elijah is not just an invitation—it is a calling. But with that calling comes a cost. It means laying down our own lives, agendas, and personal ambitions. It means being willing to let go of the “little kingdoms” we often try to build, even in ministry, to pursue God’s kingdom above all else. The question isn’t whether it’s possible; the question is whether we’re willing. Are we willing to sacrifice everything to be consecrated vessels for His glory?
Many of us shy away from this level of surrender because it requires letting go of control. It requires placing God’s will above our own, even when it’s uncomfortable, even when it costs us relationships, opportunities, or comfort. But that’s exactly what Moses, Enoch, and Elijah did. They made their choice. They chose to trust God completely, to live lives set apart, and to carry His presence and authority in a world that desperately needed it.
“Where Are the Elijahs Today?”
In the past I have often asked the Lord, “Where are the Elijahs today?” The Bible tells us that we live under a better covenant, established on better promises (Hebrews 8:6). If that’s true, then why do we rarely see anyone walking in the kind of power and authority that Elijah, Moses, and Enoch walked in? Why do we see so few miraculous events, and such little evidence of the supernatural in our lives and ministries? Sure, we see awesome things here and there. There are miracles, signs and wonders that occasionally appear in various places and to various people. But we are not happy with that are we? Don’t we really desire all that Christ paid for?
When I asked God this question, His answer to me was simple yet profound: “You be the one.”
​

This response shook me to the core. It was a personal challenge, a call to step into the very life I was longing to see. And it wasn’t just for me—it’s a call for all of us. God is still looking for those who will say “yes” to Him completely, who will set themselves apart and allow Him to move through them in extraordinary ways. The question is not whether God is willing to work through us; the question is whether we are willing to be the vessels.
A Call for This Generation
This isn’t a call for a select few. It’s a call for everyone who claims to follow Jesus Christ. The same God who empowered Moses to confront Pharaoh, Enoch to walk so intimately with Him that he was taken into glory, and Elijah to call down fire from heaven is the God who lives within us today. The question is not whether God’s power is available; it is whether we are willing to align ourselves with Him fully to walk in it.
The Bible is filled with promises of what believers can do when they walk in faith and obedience. Jesus Himself said, “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father” (John 14:12). Yet, so often we fall short, not because God is unwilling, but because we are unwilling to pay the price of surrender.
What Are We Missing?
As I reflect on this call, I can’t help but examine my own life. What am I missing? What areas of my heart and life are not fully surrendered to Him? It’s easy to point to the distractions and compromises in the world around us, but the real challenge is to look inward. Am I willing to let God strip away everything that hinders my walk with Him? Am I willing to trust Him completely, even when it means stepping into the unknown?
The lives of Moses, Enoch, and Elijah reveal what it takes to walk in God’s power: humility, obedience, intimacy, and unwavering faith. These men were not perfect, but they were willing. They chose God above all else, and as a result, they became conduits of His glory on earth. Their lives were not about their own fame or success; they were about revealing God’s power and pointing people to Him.
A Call to Consecration
This book is an invitation to step into the spirit and power of Moses, Enoch, and Elijah. It’s not about chasing miracles or seeking power for its own sake. It’s about becoming vessels consecrated to God, willing to lay everything down for His glory. It’s about pursuing intimacy with Him, trusting His plan, and allowing Him to work through us in ways that transform the world around us.

The call is not easy, but it is worth it. God is still looking for those who will say, “Here I am, send me” (Isaiah 6:8). He is still looking for those who will live lives of consecration, humility, and faith. The question is: Will we be the ones to answer? Will we allow God to prepare us, refine us, and use us for His glory?

Walking in the spirit and power of Moses, Enoch, and Elijah is not just a possibility—it is a calling for this generation. The choice is ours. Will we rise to it?
