And if you ask yourself, does 36 00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:16,640 your shout make a difference? Yes, it does. 37 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,840 Does your face make a difference? 38 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,160 Yes, it does. Amen. 39 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,840 So we encourage you to join us and let us continue to playoff 40 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,920 run and a playoff ride for what God is doing. 41 00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:33,200 Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen. I want to start off the fear of 42 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,840 God. We've been talking about that 43 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,720 and and the pull that down real quick. 44 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,240 So I want to give him a little focus. 45 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,480 I know I'll set you up and that's this. 46 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,120 So the day's word is the spirit of what? 47 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,280 What's the day's word, Michael? What's today's word, bro? 48 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,920 Revelation. So he gave me just the word 49 00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:57,600 revelation. It's the spirit of revelation, 50 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,280 right? And it's, it's very appropriate 51 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,760 to be talking about the fear of God when you're talking about 52 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,040 the spirit of revelation, because both of those are 53 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,600 dependent upon God showing himself. 54 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,240 OK, there's a difference between wisdom and revelation. 55 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,440 In the Bible you will often see them connected that the spirit 56 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,680 of wisdom and revelation, Wisdom and revelation. 57 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:30,000 Revelation has more to do with understanding who God is. 58 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,840 Wisdom has more to do with understanding what God needs you 59 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:41,400 to do. OK, and where Revelation is more 60 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,680 unpacking of the wisdom, it's designed to have you further 61 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,160 understand how to act in a way that furthers the the knowledge 62 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,320 of who God is. Where you get that from preacher 63 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,960 Jesus talking to Peter, he says who the people said I am, who 64 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,440 the people said I am? And then Peter says thou are the 65 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,080 Christ, the Son of the living God. 66 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:08,480 And then Jesus says flesh and blood has not revealed this unto 67 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,080 you, but only my father. And what what, what was 68 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:19,760 revealed, who he was not something for Peter to do, OK. 69 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,160 Everything in the book is about revealing God to us. 70 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,480 Everything in the Bible is about that. 71 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,200 It's not about how to better get a better life, although you'll 72 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,600 get a better life, It's not about what you can get. 73 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,280 It's not about even what God has done. 74 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,560 It's about who he is. That's the purpose of the book, 75 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,800 to reveal who He is. And in everything he does, He 76 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,560 reveals who He is and is expressing His kindness to you. 77 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,960 He reveals who He is in his faithfulness to keep your body 78 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,720 healthy and whole. It reveals who He is, not what 79 00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,240 He does only, Amen. So these two are linked together 80 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,640 in a way. I think it's very appropriate. 81 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,920 So the fear of God, my subtitle is this fall in or fall away. 82 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:13,040 Fall in or fall away. OK, fall in or fall away. 83 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,680 Now whenever you get a title, you want to pay as much 84 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,040 attention to the subtitle as the title. 85 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,360 Does that make sense? The subtitles is almost like the 86 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,440 chorus. Many times this is the verse. 87 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,960 What do I mean this the, the chorus is what is used to have 88 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,920 you catch the real spirit of the song. 89 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,520 It's something you'll go back to and refer to. 90 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,160 It's what distinguishes maybe my approach to this music from 91 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,080 someone else's approach to the same music, right? 92 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,360 So as we talk about the fear of God, think about fall in and 93 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,600 fall away. Fall in. 94 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,960 Let that be an echo for you. Fall in and fall away. 95 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,760 It's a way of organizing the information and really 96 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,080 understanding things. So let's talk about fear of 97 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:03,520 versus afraid of. There's a difference between 98 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,920 fear of and afraid of, all right? 99 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:14,080 Now the Bible talks about both of those fear of means to stand 100 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:19,040 up, stand in, stand close, stand ready, and stand rested. 101 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,040 When you're the fear of has all of these connotations. 102 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,400 When there's the fear of God, I'm standing up to God, not 103 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,840 standing up. I'm going to show you better, 104 00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:33,080 but I'm standing up to approach. I'm standing in with him. 105 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,000 I'm standing sure. I'm standing rested. 106 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,640 I'm standing strong. The fear of God has a sense of 107 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,080 standing and a sense of rest to it. 108 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,000 It has a sense of increasing closeness and intimacy. 109 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:58,280 That's the fear of God. OK, the fear of verse, the verse 110 00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:02,640 says this, the earth things, Genesis, the earth was without 111 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:08,200 form and an empty waste and darkness was upon the very great 112 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,560 deep. The Spirit of God was moving 113 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,360 over the face of the waters. The Spirit of God was standing 114 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,520 on standing in, standing up and standing ready. 115 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,360 That's the fear of God. I'm ready. 116 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,840 The fear of means, I'm ready. I'm standing, I'm looking. 117 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,440 I'm I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm contemplating, I'm resting even 118 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:34,320 as I stand, OK, an athlete rest on the balls of the feet, not 119 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,800 the heels. Does that make sense? 120 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,320 OK, when the athlete is in a ready position, their their, 121 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:47,480 their, their weight is forward, not back, right. 122 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,360 So that's what kind of what this standing knee, the Holy Spirit 123 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:55,760 was ready. OK, fear of has that connotation 124 00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,680 to it. It means to reverence. 125 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,080 It means to reverence specifically. 126 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,240 What does reverence mean? Reverence means to stand in awe. 127 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,680 That's why I get the connection of fear of means to stand. 128 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,880 OK, reverence means to stand. Everyone say stand. 129 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:29,480 Stand everyone say stand. So if I was to ask, see, don't 130 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,440 sit there after you do the interruption, I was going to 131 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:33,600 have you act something out for me. 132 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,559 I'm not going to do that to you. Andrew, come here. 133 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,159 Please be quick using up my time, bro, don't be slow. 134 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,440 I called you because you're athletic and you can bound you 135 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,600 move quickly, OK? Right. 136 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:52,520 So I want you to give me a physical posture of all and 137 00:08:52,520 --> 00:09:02,240 reverence. OK, right now what does this 138 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:09,040 slide say? You see how a certain pictures 139 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,880 in your mind or what reverence means. 140 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,760 OK, now if this idea of reverence or fear of means a 141 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:23,320 readiness to go and do and move, he can't go, he can't do, he 142 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:29,360 can't move in that position. Pastor talks about one of the 143 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,640 indications of the fear of God is obedience. 144 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,000 Is he in place to move towards obedience from that position? 145 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,400 What's he going to have to do first if God's calling him to 146 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,440 obey something, Go ye into the place and preach this and out of 147 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,080 the fear of God he's going to go do that. 148 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,720 What's the first thing he has to do from that position, right? 149 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:59,080 The real reverence of God automatically has you standing 150 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,840 go thee into the place now He doesn't. 151 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,520 He can get to action right away. Thank you, Sir. 152 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,320 Right. That's not a condemnation on 153 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,440 him. Understand that I'm not calling 154 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,440 him out. I could have called half the 155 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,440 more of the room up here and then I said what's reverence? 156 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,760 Reverence would have been selfish perspective from you. 157 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,840 I'm going to make me lowly in the sight of God. 158 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,200 You're not thinking about God. You thinking about your 159 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:34,360 position, not who God is OK. I come from the US and we part 160 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,920 of a Kingdom when the king walks in. 161 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,040 What do you do? Do you get low or you get So I 162 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,720 almost went there. You get low or you get You rise 163 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,200 up. The king walks in the room. 164 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:51,240 What do you do when you have reverence for the king? 165 00:10:51,280 --> 00:11:03,590 How come you don't bow down? Reverence has you stand. 166 00:11:03,830 --> 00:11:05,790 Why? Why does reverence have you 167 00:11:05,790 --> 00:11:09,110 stand? What does standing suggest? 168 00:11:12,910 --> 00:11:19,080 You come back up here, Andrew, we're building a case for our 169 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,280 next time. Get back down. 170 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,440 OK? Right. 171 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,720 OK. Is this high authority or low 172 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:32,960 authority? I'm just what do you think? 173 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,680 I would say it's low authority. OK. 174 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,640 How do I know? It's easy for me to use my power 175 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,600 to manipulate them OK now he's a really strong guy. 176 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,160 He's just let me do this OK? Like he can deadlift and bench 177 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,960 press 3 times in my my body weight. 178 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:56,160 Be quiet I'm only 120.

He's getting his authority ready 186 00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:29,000 to see how he's going to pop off. 187 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,280 He got authority in his position, right? 188 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,680 OK, thank you. But stay ready, OK? 189 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,840 When you stand, you are standing in your authority. 190 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,000 So when the king walks in and you stand, you're saying I'm 191 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:55,160 presenting all of my authority at the ready, Sir, That's what 192 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:59,120 standing means. One of the greatest postures you 193 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,720 can have for all. It's not to be just laid out 194 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,160 there. I'm not saying it's not times 195 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,480 for that now. And you understand what I'm 196 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,960 saying, right? I'm challenging our, our, our, 197 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,120 our sin thinking, our lowlife thinking to really understand 198 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,240 what God is calling us to, right? 199 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:21,040 We can stand in all that means there's no shame in us when we 200 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,360 can stand in all that means we know who we are. 201 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,760 When I know that my Kingdom is as good or better than the 202 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:34,520 Kingdom I'm facing, I'll stand. Standing in reverence has a 203 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,240 different kind of authority to it, and you have to know who you 204 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:43,080 are in order to do that. It comes from the Latin, what it 205 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,320 says there to stand in all. Amen. 206 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,760 What is fall in every say fall in? 207 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,040 What's the subtext? What's the what's the subtitle? 208 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,680 So what does fall in mean? See, I was ready for you to do 209 00:13:56,680 --> 00:13:58,680 my Alicia Keys man. I was going to surprise all you 210 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:05,200 anyway. Fall in, right? 211 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,040 Fall in. Fall in. 212 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:06,680 Fall in. Fall in. 213 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,520 Hey, hey, hey, y'all. Stay focused. 214 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:14,280 I am Fall in. I'm waiting for the next slide 215 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:15,680 to pop up so I can lead people through it. 216 00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:16,200 Yeah. Fall in. 217 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,360 It means to take one's place in a line of formation. 218 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,800 It's a military term. Fall in. 219 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:29,640 You see how fall in has a sense of standing, right? 220 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,280 The question is, when you have the fear of God, you fall in. 221 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:39,480 You don't fall away, you stand up and you're ready. 222 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,360 The fear of God says God. You ready for the song? 223 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,120 I'm not going to sing it. You ready? 224 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,640 But you have my attention. That's why I'm standing at 225 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,760 attention, to show you that you have my attention. 226 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,000 You see what I'm saying? Fall in means to take one's 227 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,240 place and a lion on formation. It means to stand. 228 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,160 So the real fear of God means you're standing ready. 229 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,200 You're standing at the moment, you're standing in obedience, 230 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,960 you're standing at rest, you're standing in peace, you're 231 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:19,240 standing in grace. What does it mean to be afraid 232 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,680 of? It means to fall back, fall 233 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:33,760 down, fall away here, gradually, consistently, habitually. 234 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,560 OK, afraid often is built over time. 235 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:48,880 That's good. OK, something can terrify you 236 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,760 and you run away quickly, in a moment. 237 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,520 You don't become afraid until you start meditating on the 238 00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:01,600 terror you just experienced. Now gradually that terror 239 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:06,800 becomes magnified to the point where now it's a fear, OK. 240 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,960 Being afraid of means that you gradually, you fall down, you 241 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,440 fall back, you fall away, you fall just below what you're able 242 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,680 to do. It doesn't always meet you 243 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:23,920 running away or something. It means you go gradually, not 244 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,960 just giving what you're supposed to give, doing what you're 245 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:35,080 supposed to do, and what causes you to fall away or fall back. 246 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,680 Sometimes it is something's pulling you. 247 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:48,000 Your attention, your focus, your own desires will cause you to be 248 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,880 afraid. Remember, the fear of God 249 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:56,040 requires attention and focus. You can't be two places at one 250 00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:01,480 time. And so you have to be watchful 251 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,920 about where you've been causing you to be afraid of where God is 252 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,240 taking you. You have to be watchful about 253 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,800 where you've been causing you to be afraid of who God is trying 254 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:20,119 to reveal himself to you as right now I get I get AI get a 255 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,400 rap sometimes. Maybe right? 256 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,599 Deservedly so. Sometimes folks say, man, John, 257 00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:28,840 you just like you ain't got no feelings, man. 258 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,720 You just cold. You just, you don't care. 259 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:42,270 And sometimes that's the case. So when I came here, people 260 00:17:42,270 --> 00:17:44,310 would ask me, so John, do you miss Chicago? 261 00:17:44,310 --> 00:17:47,510 I said no, how come you don't miss Chicago? 262 00:17:47,510 --> 00:17:51,790 Because I'm here. See, when I came here, I decided 263 00:17:51,790 --> 00:17:55,320 that God was telling me this is where I needed to be and I 264 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,640 couldn't be fully here and give fully here an opportunity for me 265 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,960 to fully see God. If while I'm here I'm doing 266 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:11,500 this, what would happen is if I'm doing this back to Chicago, 267 00:18:12,060 --> 00:18:14,820 then all of a sudden when difficulty comes up now, I 268 00:18:14,820 --> 00:18:19,340 become afraid I made the wrong choice, afraid it's the wrong 269 00:18:19,340 --> 00:18:25,800 time. Don't let something you've 270 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:30,000 experienced pull you back and cause you to be afraid of what 271 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,560 God is. Here I'm going to tell you one 272 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,680 thing that caused you to be afraid of things. 273 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:39,000 Your success. When you've had it, some success 274 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,360 on something, you want to keep repeating that because you want 275 00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:44,520 success. You don't want necessarily 276 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,800 growth or development or what God's asking of you. 277 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,040 So your success begins to pull you away from what God's calling 278 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:58,560 you to now. But the Lord God called to Adam 279 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,280 and said to him, Where are you? He said, I heard the sound of 280 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:07,240 you. So Adam goes from walking with 281 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,840 God in the cooler of the day, from lockstep, and now at the 282 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:20,560 very sound of him. And I was afraid, and I hit 283 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:26,240 myself. Fear of has you standing ready. 284 00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:31,480 Afraid of has you afraid and falling back and covering. 285 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:43,040 OK. Don't blame Eve too much if Adam 286 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,920 took a bite. You know what Adam was doing. 287 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,040 I was wondering what it tastes like. 288 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,920 This is my opportunity. Come on. 289 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:54,080 Don't blame Eve too much. If Adam didn't want none, he 290 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,120 wouldn't have took none. If Adam ain't thought about 291 00:19:58,120 --> 00:19:59,480 some, he wouldn't have took none. 292 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,840 Don't blame Eve too much. Maybe what Eve did was give Adam 293 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,680 a reason to do what he wanted to do, was interested in doing 294 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,240 anyway. Where is that biblically and 295 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,440 scripturally preacher? I take you to the story of the 296 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,760 prodigal son that we call it in the New Testament. 297 00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:21,520 There were two sons. One said I want my inheritance, 298 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,440 give it to me. I want to go out and live my 299 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,400 life my way. The father said fine, I'll give 300 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,480 each of my sons their inheritance. 301 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,040 One went out and lived and squandered and lived on a 302 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,440 riotous living in King James, right? 303 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:40,320 And came back and he said he was using it, wound up in a pig pen. 304 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,880 He said the the servants at my father's house are doing better 305 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,200 than I am. I'm going to go back to my 306 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,600 father, said just let me be a slave or a servant in your 307 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,760 house. On his way back, his father saw 308 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,160 him coming and he said, father getting ready to do a story, 309 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,120 father. And the father cut him off and 310 00:20:55,120 --> 00:20:58,080 said, bring me my robe, bring me my sandals, bring me my ring, 311 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,640 put it on them, OK. And his brother said this, 312 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,000 what's all that noise? What's all that? 313 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,520 What's going on? And one of the servants says, 314 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,720 oh, we're throwing a party for your brother. 315 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,160 And he went to the father and said, dad, what's going on? 316 00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:17,480 He said, we throwing a party for your brother because he's come 317 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:18,520 home. He was lost. 318 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,880 But now he's found. And the son said this, you never 319 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,840 even gave me a small little something, something to have a 320 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:30,160 party with. And then he said, father said, 321 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:37,320 don't you know that you had everything in my house because 322 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:41,600 it's always available to you? What if the brothers who stayed 323 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,280 home, what was he really saying? What he's really saying is, hold 324 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,280 on Player, You mean I could have gone out and done that and come 325 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,640 back and not lost nothing and I stayed here trying to be 326 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,000 faithful and true and do it the right way. 327 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,120 And it mean I could have still do that, like even I wanted to 328 00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:02,920 do, and it wouldn't have been no consequence for it. 329 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,720 The brother that stayed home was as prodigal as the brother that 330 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,040 left. The one that left only had guts 331 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,040 enough to do it. Don't blame Eve too much. 332 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,240 Fall away. What does it mean? 333 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,120 Gradually decrease the number, amount, intensity or quality. 334 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:27,280 It means the slope downward. Fear doesn't begin all at once. 335 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:32,520 It means there's a continuation. There's a process with it. 336 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,520 So now we understand what it means. 337 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,200 The difference between the fear of God and afraid of is that 338 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,320 fear of God. You're falling, you're standing, 339 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,680 you're ready, you're going closer, it's drawing you in. 340 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,200 Is the place of rest about it Afraid of it's terror, it's 341 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,440 falling away. It's like, I don't want this, I 342 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,800 want to move back from this. I'm concerned more about the 343 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,760 negative consequences than anything else. 344 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,880 So the question is then, what are some of the ingredients of 345 00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,840 the fear of God? How do you grow? 346 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,920 How do you get there? There's three ingredients. 347 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,360 There's God the Father, the Holy Spirit, and the Word. 348 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,560 Genesis 1 says this in the beginning, God. 349 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,600 Then it says then the Spirit of God was hovering over the face. 350 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,360 And then God said, if you want to grow in the fear of God, then 351 00:23:19,360 --> 00:23:22,480 you want to grow in relationship with all of these in the 352 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,640 beginning, God the Father in the beginning, the Spirit in the 353 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,840 beginning of the Word. The more you read the word, the 354 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,560 more you'll grow in the fear of God. 355 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,720 It's automatic. The more you fellowship with the 356 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,200 Holy Spirit and invite the Holy Spirit into your life and and, 357 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,240 and, and and walk with the Holy Spirit, talk with the Holy 358 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,680 Spirit, pray in other tongues, do the things of the Spirit. 359 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,240 The more you do those things, you will grow in the fear of 360 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:52,360 God. OK, The more you recognize God 361 00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:57,760 as your Father, the more you'll grow in the fear of God because 362 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,840 you can't recognize God as your Father without recognizing His 363 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,360 goodness. And His goodness is so 364 00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:06,280 overwhelming. It will put you in a place of 365 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,280 reverence and it puts you in a place of awe. 366 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,760 So what does it truly look like? What does the fear of God truly 367 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,680 look like? That's what I was like. 368 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,680 I try to figure out what does it really look like? 369 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,960 Well, the first thing that I go to myself when I'm trying to 370 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,520 figure out what it really looks like as I go to Heaven's context 371 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,040 for it. Everyone say Heaven's context 372 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,400 because the real essence of whatever God's teaching me 373 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:35,960 shouldn't change between here and heaven. 374 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,120 See, How do I know sickness is not really for me in the 375 00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:42,760 Kingdom? Because there's no sickness in 376 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,480 heaven. If it ain't in heaven, then it 377 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:50,240 ain't for me here as a Kingdom citizen to what's for me, here's 378 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,400 what's for me in heaven. It's not going to change. 379 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:57,240 God said this. Our Father, thy Kingdom come on 380 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,480 earth as it is in heaven, right? So I haven't test all my 381 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,880 theology, right? If you don't fly in heaven, I 382 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,640 got to question whether they should fly on earth. 383 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,480 Makes does that make sense? Now, sometimes there are things 384 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,840 that do work on earth because of context. 385 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,360 You got it. There ain't no sin in heaven, 386 00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:19,120 but there's sin on earth. And because of that, someone had 387 00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:22,000 to die and shed their blood, right? 388 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,200 You don't necessarily have that in heaven in the same, in the 389 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,240 same way, right? So, but I haven't tested it. 390 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,800 The spirit. So I asked myself, is the spirit 391 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:37,960 of the fear of God in heaven? Is the spirit of the fear of God 392 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:43,320 in heaven? I say yes, because the Holy 393 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:49,080 Spirit is in heaven and the Spirit of the Lord, that's the 394 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,240 Holy Spirit shall rest upon them. 395 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,920 And one of the manifestations, demonstrations of of the Spirit 396 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,600 of the Lord, the Holy Spirit is the reverential and obedient 397 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,400 fear of the Lord. So if the Holy Spirit's in 398 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,520 heaven, then every way he manifests himself as a person is 399 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,840 in heaven as well. So the spirit of the fear of the 400 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:18,120 Lord is in heaven, OK? And so if it is in heaven, that 401 00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:20,720 means that he is something for me on the earth. 402 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,720 So what does it look like? A picture. 403 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,240 Here's a picture of the fear of the Lord looks like. 404 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,600 And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall 405 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,640 lie down with the kid and the calf and the young lion and the 406 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,480 fatted domestic animal together. It's a picture. 407 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,280 If after Jesus wraps some things up, what's going to look like? 408 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:45,400 Hold on, that picture doesn't look like a picture of terror 409 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,760 and God shaking things and me to be like this. 410 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:58,160 No, it doesn't, does it? OK, let me show you how this is 411 00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:59,160 a picture. Fear of the Lord. 412 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,840 The wolf got so much reverence for God and how God made them 413 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,160 and the fact that God also made the lamb. 414 00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:10,480 He says, God, I'm a honor the lamb the way you honor the lamb. 415 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,120 I'm not going to feed on the lamb, Take advantage of the 416 00:27:13,120 --> 00:27:14,840 lamb. I'm not going to chase the lamb. 417 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,200 I'm going to lay down and walk with the lamb because I 418 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,400 reverence how you made me and I reverence how you made them. 419 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,080 That's the fear of God. The fear of God means I ain't 420 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,760 got to compete with anybody because God made me for me. 421 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,200 The fear of God means I don't have to chase. 422 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,000 I'm not in competition. I'm not in acrimony. 423 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,400 The fear of God means there's not these enemies between us 424 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,680 that's present there. We're challenging what you think 425 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,360 the fear of God is. We're trying to get all of the 426 00:27:45,360 --> 00:27:49,520 afraid pictures out. Is this wolf afraid of this 427 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,400 lamb? No, there's no afraid of in this 428 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,800 picture. And when there's no afraid of, 429 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,400 then you can walk together. It's not always this kind of 430 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,640 like God is here and I got to fall back because it's like 431 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:12,880 this. OK, sin is doing, not being say 432 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:19,200 doing, not being, doing, doing better, doing different and 433 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,320 doing things on my time. Sin is about grinding and 434 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,720 earning and working for it. The Bible says the wages of sin 435 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,200 is death. That's the that's the scripture 436 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,080 verse Romans 623. That's what sins about. 437 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,840 OK, got it. Heaven is about receiving, 438 00:28:36,120 --> 00:28:39,480 being, reverencing and rest not work. 439 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,880 The verse there is Romans 49. There remaineth King James shout 440 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,680 out my boy, there remaineth therefore a rest to the people 441 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:55,640 of God. So why does that come up? 442 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,880 Is sin in heaven? And if sin is about doing and 443 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,240 about works, and sin is not in heaven, what does that mean? 444 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:11,600 The fear of God is not about, it's not about doing and about 445 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,680 works. If heaven is about being and 446 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:22,360 resting, if heaven is about receiving and reverencing, then 447 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,040 the fear of God is more about how you receive, how you rest, 448 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,560 how you stand. It's in a posture internally of 449 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:33,320 how you value God more than what you do for Him. 450 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,920 The fear of the Lord is not best measured by did you not cuss in 451 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:44,440 church? It's not about the doing as 452 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,560 much, it is the being. Did you really honor and love 453 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,280 God enough to only want to speak words in His house that that 454 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,840 magnify Him? The fear of God is not so much 455 00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:00,040 about doing, so if you get into a path of doing to deal with the 456 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,000 fear of God in your life or to try to act, increase it. 457 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,040 Ask yourself, am I really on the right path? 458 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,760 The fear of God's about how you posture yourself internally. 459 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,120 Amen. We want to stop there. 460 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:19,800 It's going to get better. I encourage you to come to the 461 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:24,000 next one. OK, Let me ask you this. 462 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:28,760 So if Jesus was here talking Jesus, Jesus, Jesus that Jesus, 463 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,120 if Jesus said listen, you know, for just one weekend, only one 464 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,520 Sunday only, I'm at love Quest, OK? 465 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,240 I came down from heaven or from wherever I am and I'm going to 466 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,040 be here and I'm Jesus talking preaching at Love quest and I'm 467 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:44,760 preaching at 9:00 and 11:30. Jesus glorified Jesus. 468 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,920 How many of y'all would be like Jesus? 469 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,600 All I want is 9. I'm going to go watch football. 470 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:57,440 11:30 Jeez, all I want is 9 and one's good for me. 471 00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,880 That's all I need. That's enough. 472 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,000 But you know, I I'm not finished with what I'm saying because I'm 473 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,440 continuing over into the Yeah, I I know that Jesus, but I don't 474 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,000 need to get the other half. I'll check you out on YouTube, 475 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,120 Jesus. I'll get the other half on 476 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:15,800 YouTube when I when it's convenient for me, right? 477 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:24,000 I'm just saying the fear of God says God, if you're speaking and 478 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,720 I'm hearing and I'm at the ready to listen, however long you 479 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,920 speak, however many times you speak, in whichever way you 480 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:35,000 speak, I'm going to be there in Jesus name, Amen. 481 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,600 So I encourage you to come on back and finish hearing what God 482 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,240 has to say. It'll bless your soul. 483 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:48,880 We're going to pray very quickly and very efficiently. 484 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:54,840 Effectively, Father, I want everyone to lift your head up. 485 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,080 You can stand and lift your head up. 486 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,400 The posture is not always to make yourself low. 487 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,840 You can have a posture of reverence in all of God 488 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,320 standing.

Give us revelation of who you 491 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,200 are so purely that we can really know what the fear of God's 492 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,560 really about and we can really walk on the fullness of it all 493 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,760 the days of our life.
