1 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,320 Well, you know, we don't do traditional things around here, 2 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:26,080 right? But we are those that endeavor 3 00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:31,440 to be led by the Spirit of God. And obviously, you know, Pastor 4 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,040 Angie, read the scripture that we are going to come out of 5 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:40,040 today. In Proverbs 31 and 30, it says 6 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,800 charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the 7 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:51,160 Lord shall be praised. A woman that fears the Lord. 8 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,000 What is he saying here? He's saying that none of these 9 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,480 things that we as ladies and in the generation and I, I'll get 10 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:05,360 to you men in a minute, but in the generation that we're 11 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:11,360 living, you know, we see to where women have to. 12 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:16,640 It's as if they're having to put a standard upon their life that 13 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,240 can never be attained to in the world. 14 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,880 And what a woman looks like in our looks, you know, according 15 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:30,120 to our beauty, you know, we have all kinds of things to make us 16 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,120 look beautiful today. That they've come up with 17 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,080 plaque. Well, you know, plastic surgery, 18 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,440 it's been around for a while, you know, and now we have the 19 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:43,320 Botox and now we have all the tux and the puffs and the 20 00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:48,600 everything else, you know, the puffy lips and all of these 21 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,360 things. And, and, and all of these 22 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:58,440 things that is trying to put on us a image that God never 23 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:03,280 designed for us to have the burden for us to have to carry 24 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:12,680 that the burden for us to have to carry that perfection. 25 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,720 Right. And, and, and, and I'm saying 26 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,520 this even towards women, because now we're seeing women are not 27 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,080 the only ones having all these things done. 28 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:30,120 I mean, there's plenty of men that are getting the Botox and, 29 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,200 and even doing all kinds of other things, putting stuff in 30 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,320 their chest to give them a chest. 31 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,640 Come on, y'all looking at me like I'm strange. 32 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,960 This is true this. Is reality and this is the world 33 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:53,000 that we're living right and so you know, they're even doing 34 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,880 liposuction around their you know, to give them ABS to make 35 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,640 them look like their ABS are there and all these things. 36 00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:14,040 Listen beauty, rest clearly in those that fear the Lord, in 37 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,400 those that fear the Lord. And this is not just a woman 38 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:23,960 thing, this is also a man thing. Because women are not the only 39 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:30,280 ones that are supposed to fear the Lord or wear the fear of the 40 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:36,680 Lord as clothing, right? Women are not the only ones that 41 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,920 are supposed to wear the fear of the Lord. 42 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:48,800 All mankind was to wear and clothe themselves in the fear of 43 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,680 the Lord. And when we look at what this 44 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:57,120 means, we're going to dive in a little bit to this, but the 45 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,680 title of the message is Flourish in Fear. 46 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,800 Flourish in fear. Because the thing about it is, 47 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,800 is that once we have a real understanding of what the flare 48 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:17,399 of the Lord is, we'll be able to flourish in that and grow up out 49 00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:19,640 of that. All right? 50 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:26,440 We'll be able to grow up out of the fear of the Lord and 51 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:32,320 recognizing that the way that we are going to have a healthy, 52 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:38,720 beautiful life is that we have to be clothed in the fear of the 53 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,040 Lord. Because that's the only thing 54 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,680 that's going to make you glow. I did wear a thing this morning. 55 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,920 I was up at 5:00 AM. And, you know, they have those 56 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,000 masks that you stick on your face now, the collagen mask. 57 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,560 And so my husband walked in and he's like, wow, that makes you 58 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:08,520 look really different your face, you know? 59 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,680 Anyway, I put it on so that I could have a glow this morning, 60 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,640 but then I realized I just want the glow of the Holy Ghost on 61 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,200 the my life. Amen. 62 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,560 But anyway, you know, you do what you can do in the natural. 63 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:26,120 I heard one minister that I was listening to She said, you know, 64 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:31,240 you can do all that nip and tuck and and Botox and all that 65 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,160 stuff. If that's your prerogative, she 66 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,400 says, but I'm just going to age gracefully and that's what we 67 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:42,640 should be aging gracefully. What is gracefully in the grace 68 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,560 of the Lord Jesus Christ and in his anointing. 69 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,200 Come on. And and getting covered up 70 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,480 underneath his glow, Hallelujah, glory to God. 71 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,320 But anyway. So what does the fear of the 72 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,040 Lord mean? Does that mean that we're to be 73 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,680 afraid of God? No, it does not mean that we're 74 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:12,400 to be afraid of God in the sense of fear that the enemy is the 75 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:18,440 author of the enemy is the author of fear, and that fear is 76 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:26,080 there, there to drive you and to punish you and to, you know, put 77 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:31,560 things on you that you were never meant to carry. 78 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,240 But the fear of the Lord as we begin to actually look at it 79 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:43,680 properly through Scripture will show us that this is a beautiful 80 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:50,760 thing and it is a requirement. As a child of God, as a child of 81 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:58,200 the King, as one that's saying he is my Lord, then we all are 82 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,960 to understand and walk in the fear of the Lord. 83 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,040 And outside of you walking in the fear of the Lord, you will 84 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,560 not walk in your relationship with the Lord properly. 85 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:19,240 You won't walk in it properly. And so we see here, I like to 86 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:26,400 read this, this quote by John Bevere, he said, and this is the 87 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,960 foundation of us laying the fear of the Lord and what it really 88 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:38,480 is, the fear of the Lord is the foundation of our salvation. 89 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:45,920 Meaning he said this you cannot truly love God until we fear 90 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:53,640 Him, nor can you properly feel fear Him until we love Him. 91 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:04,000 And the key here is that love and fear cannot be separated. 92 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,520 And we've actually tried to separate it in American 93 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:14,240 Christianity. The true fear of the Lord and 94 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,880 the true love of God cannot be separated. 95 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,600 It goes hand in hand and it works together. 96 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,960 And when one of them is missing, abuse is inevitable. 97 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:35,720 Abuse is inevitable when one of them is missing and your life is 98 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:42,000 not built upon the foundation of not just God's love, but the 99 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,320 fear of God. If it is not built upon that 100 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:53,800 foundation, abuse is inevitable. There will be dysfunction, there 101 00:08:53,800 --> 00:09:00,000 will be misguidance, and everything will become skewed 102 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:07,480 and lopsided if they are not properly working together. 103 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,920 And we don't properly understand that this is what we must build 104 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,680 our life upon. Not just the love of God, but 105 00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:20,880 also the fear of God. And we've been taught here in 106 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,520 Anchor Faith Church for those that are a part of this body 107 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,120 that everything in the Kingdom of. 108 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,160 God grows up out of the heart of love. 109 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,920 Everything in the Kingdom of God, or as we know, the forest 110 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,240 bed of the Kingdom. Come on. 111 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,720 Everything is growing up out of love. 112 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,520 Everything, everything is growing up out of love. 113 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,400 Love. His mercy is growing up out of 114 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,040 love. Come on, His grace is growing up 115 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,240 out of love. Everything is growing. 116 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:02,200 Hit faith is growing up out of love, out of the forest bed of 117 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,800 love. That is what it's growing up out 118 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,960 of. But I would like to say this as 119 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,360 well, it's grow. It should be growing up out of 120 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:19,720 fear, the fear of the Lord, the fear of the Lord and the love of 121 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,400 God. Because when they are both in 122 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:28,600 proper position, then I'm going to tell you what, nothing, 123 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,240 nothing will be withheld from you. 124 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:39,000 Nothing will. I read over just concerning the 125 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,480 fear of the Lord out of Scripture. 126 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:47,880 He indicated over 30 promises just for those who live in the 127 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,920 fear of the Lord. But when you live in the fear of 128 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:55,040 the Lord, everything in the Kingdom will flow. 129 00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:00,920 All the promises of God will flow up out of that in your life 130 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,960 when you really understand what it is. 131 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:11,080 So everything is growing up out of the love of God and the fear 132 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,760 of God. Let me read the scripture here. 133 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,680 Why are we saying this? Because we know first John 134 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:23,920 chapter 4 and verse eight said God is love. 135 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:29,320 God is love. OK, but here in Psalms one O 3, 136 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:30,840 this is where we're going to get started. 137 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,680 And then I'm actually going to define the fear of the Lord. 138 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:40,800 Psalms one O 3, Excuse me. Verses 11 through 13 says this. 139 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:46,680 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His 140 00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:53,040 loving kindness towards those who what fear Him, as far as the 141 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,760 east is from the West, so far as He has removed our 142 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:03,280 transgressions from us. Just as a father has compassion 143 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:10,520 on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him 144 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:19,720 because of His loving kindness. Because of his loving kindness, 145 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:26,480 we see that now the fear of the Lord is in operation, and the 146 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,000 compassion comes because of that. 147 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:35,000 Compassion comes because of those who fear Him because he 148 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,520 loves them, right? And here we're going to see what 149 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,840 the fear of the Lord. Let me give you the definition 150 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,080 of the fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord literally 151 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:53,160 means just to Revere, to reverence, to honor. 152 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,840 And This is why I believe there's a struggle in the church 153 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:06,000 today, because people truly don't understand honor, because 154 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:11,240 honor is a byproduct of the fear of the Lord. 155 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:20,080 Honor is a byproduct of the fear of the Lord, of the fear of the 156 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,200 Lord. And so it means to honor. 157 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:30,520 It means to stand in awe. Like if God's not blowing you 158 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:37,520 away, you might not have the fear of the Lord in your life 159 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,960 anymore. If you're not in awe of the fact 160 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:48,520 of what He's done in your life, come on and where you're at 161 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:54,920 today and your walk as a believer, then you may be 162 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,320 struggling with the fear of the Lord. 163 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:05,400 And he says this, to stand in awe, to esteem, to esteem, to be 164 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:15,720 devoted to wow, to be devoted to how many believers are truly 165 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:28,160 today even still devoted to Him? Devoted, like your life is 166 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:44,710 devoted to him, and it means to be afraid, but again, afraid or 167 00:14:44,710 --> 00:14:48,190 dread. One translation said afraid or 168 00:14:48,190 --> 00:14:53,630 dread, but in this context that you don't want to displease him, 169 00:14:55,790 --> 00:14:59,190 you would never want to do anything that would displease 170 00:14:59,190 --> 00:15:04,280 him, that would dishonor him. You know, we're so concerned 171 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,360 about pleasing others and pleasing. 172 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:12,680 Come on, whatever. How about pleasing him because 173 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:18,480 it is impossible to please him without faith? 174 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:24,520 And do we really have faith if we are living our life to please 175 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:30,360 ourself and our desires and what we want and how we want it and 176 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,200 when we want it? Come on now. 177 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:38,520 Somebody better get in faith and start helping me preach because 178 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,640 you need it. Say I need this word. 179 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:50,040 I received this word because this word will save my soul. 180 00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:01,520 So to be afraid or to dread in the context that you never would 181 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:06,440 want to dishonor his name, you never would want to displease 182 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,040 him. That's the kind of fear and 183 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,120 context. Do you know that we we have 184 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:19,440 turned this word pleasing upside down in our society because 185 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:25,000 actually God created us to have a desire to please him. 186 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:33,640 But see, man has twisted it and perverted it so much in our 187 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:41,080 world today that we think to do anything for anybody or to try 188 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,800 to please them is wrong. Don't you want to please your 189 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,440 spouse? Is that wrong? 190 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:54,280 There's a desire within each and every one of us that is wanting 191 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,000 to be pleasing. I want to be in a relationship 192 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,560 with people and I want them to be pleased with with me. 193 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,319 That's not see we've perverted it and think we're doing it just 194 00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:14,599 for something we need. No, it's not about something I 195 00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:17,640 need. It's about something he put 196 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:24,119 within me to please people. You don't want to displease 197 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:29,200 people, do you? I mean, and it has no strings 198 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,720 attached. See, when it's perverted, it's 199 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,240 about pleasing because you're trying to draw off of something 200 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:41,520 affirmation. But see, I'm just pleasing 201 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,280 because I'm his child and I want to please him. 202 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:50,840 And if I want to please him, then I'm going to be pleasing to 203 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:56,600 others in a proper way, not in an unhealthy way. 204 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,240 You see, we've we've twisted this word anyway. 205 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,800 I don't have time to get on that so. 206 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,880 It is. It's there within us because of 207 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,360 this dread that we do not. This is why every child wants to 208 00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:17,920 please their father and their mother. 209 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,040 It's in them. It's their nature. 210 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,600 It's OK. It's proper. 211 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:40,960 And we've made it a bad thing. It's in association, actually, 212 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:48,400 with obedience. It's all about obedience. 213 00:18:54,870 --> 00:19:00,830 It's all about obedience to His will. 214 00:19:03,270 --> 00:19:07,350 It's not about being afraid of God, but rather acknowledging 215 00:19:08,990 --> 00:19:22,480 His authority and holiness and what He actually did for us as 216 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,520 children. Amen. 217 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:30,160 And it leads us because of His authority within my life and 218 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,120 because of His Holiness it it. It. 219 00:19:34,120 --> 00:19:42,120 Leads me to want to please him and walk in holiness and desire 220 00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:45,760 the things that he thinks is pleasing. 221 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:52,160 You see that? And when it's not proper, that's 222 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,800 where perversion and dysfunction come in. 223 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:01,040 OK. Because it's not about pleasing 224 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:08,600 in our own self worth. But it's about pleasing within 225 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:17,360 what He put within me. You see that and our respect 226 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:24,520 towards who He is in our life, who He is in our life. 227 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:29,280 If we truly understand this fear, I believe some things will 228 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,920 shift within our walk with the Lord. 229 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:38,200 Look at Psalms 118 and 4. Psalms 118 and four. 230 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:43,160 Let all who fear the Lord repeat His faithful love endures 231 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,160 forever. See how love and fear are going 232 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:52,080 hand in hand. Oh, let those who reverently 233 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:58,040 fear the Lord say His loving kindness endures forever. 234 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:02,880 That's out of the amplified. Look at Psalms one O 3, Psalms 235 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:07,120 one O 317. But the love of the Lord remains 236 00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:14,200 forever with those who fear him. The love of the Lord remains 237 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:20,320 forever for those who fear Him, who reverence Him, who honor 238 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,960 Him, Come on, who want to do His will and please Him. 239 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:30,960 His love remains forever. Come on His salvation. 240 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:36,560 What else extends to your children when there is a lack of 241 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:41,080 honor for the Lord and the fear of the Lord in your house? 242 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:47,000 Come on, it will affect your children because of His love. 243 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,720 If it will affect your children, how about this one? 244 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:58,640 Will not the fear of the Lord? And this, you know, this is 245 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:04,720 number one reason why I've heard young adults say that they no 246 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,640 longer want to go to church. It's because they didn't see it 247 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:16,520 happening in their own households as they were being 248 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,040 raised up. There was too much hypocrisy. 249 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,160 See, the fear of the Lord will keep you from hypocrisy. 250 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,680 The fear of the Lord will keep you from hypocrisy. 251 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,760 It will save you from hypocrisy. And so I'm telling you, there's 252 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:46,800 some things we must rework in our lives if we're seeing the 253 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,480 fear of the Lord is lacking no honor, no reverence for the 254 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:57,040 things of God, not putting him not Oh, Matthew 633, this isn't 255 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,400 in my notes, but see it's written in my heart. 256 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,400 Seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness. 257 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:09,120 And 1st ought to be in your family that we serve the Lord, 258 00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:12,200 me and my household. We're going to serve the Lord. 259 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,920 We're going to honor him. We're going to fear him. 260 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,040 We're going to reverence him. We're going to please him. 261 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,520 We are actually going to be obedient to His will for our 262 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:30,400 lives. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, the fear 263 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,400 of the Lord. Now look at Philippians. 264 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,760 Philippians chapter 2 and verse 12 says this. 265 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:42,840 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, look at 266 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,840 this, see this obedience here You've always obeyed not not as 267 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:53,960 in my presence only, but now much more in my absence. 268 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:58,320 Here he says, work out your salvation with what? 269 00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:04,880 See, a lot of people's salvation today lacks the. 270 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:12,600 Fear and trembling. So we all, God's children, we're 271 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,560 all born again, but there's No Fear of the Lord in your life 272 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,920 because if there was, certain things wouldn't be an option. 273 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,800 Certain things wouldn't be an option. 274 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,080 Hallelujah. See, you have to work out your 275 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:37,560 salvation with fear and trembling, with honor, with 276 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:42,360 reverence, with pleasing God, with being obedient to His will, 277 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:47,560 with wanting to do what it is that pleases Him, not displease 278 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,600 Him. You see that? 279 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:56,960 And that is what real faith is, because again, it's impossible 280 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:02,920 to please Him without faith. It's impossible to please him 281 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,000 without faith. So he lets us know that, listen, 282 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,120 we have something that we're to work out within our lives of 283 00:25:11,120 --> 00:25:14,720 being born again. And it comes with fear and it 284 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,720 comes with trembling. Look at Isaiah 33. 285 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:22,080 Six. In that day he will be a sure 286 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:28,320 foundation, providing a rich store of salvation. 287 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:36,680 I want you to focus on this in that day you will be a sure 288 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,400 foundation. What's that day, the day of your 289 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:44,080 salvation, The foundation, come on, we're talking about the 290 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,200 foundation. If the foundation of your walk 291 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:52,120 in Christ is not laid and based upon the love of God and the 292 00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:55,960 fear of the Lord, your foundation is going to be 293 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,000 shaken. But those that has a foundation 294 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:04,080 should come on that's built a sure foundation that's built 295 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:08,120 Look at here providing a rich store of salvation. 296 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,080 Highlight that word in your Bible or in your notes. 297 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:17,480 You should be taking notes and and highlight it where it says 298 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,320 store of your salvation, a rich store. 299 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,320 Do you know that your salvation is a? 300 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:37,280 Amazon warehouse, an Amazon warehouse. 301 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:42,720 Just think about that. A rich store you're going to see 302 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,120 in a minute. Go on. 303 00:26:44,120 --> 00:26:51,520 And he says this of salvation, wisdom and knowledge. 304 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:57,880 Salvation, wisdom and knowledge. Wisdom and knowledge. 305 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,320 And then he goes on to say this. The fear of the Lord will be 306 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:11,600 your what? Your treasure, the fear of the 307 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:19,760 Lord, will be your treasure. Where your treasure is, there 308 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:24,800 your heart will be. Where your treasure is, get 309 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,960 this. Where your treasure, the fear of 310 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:32,640 the Lord, will be your treasure. Where your treasure is, your 311 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:39,120 heart will be, and within this, the fear of the Lord is a depth, 312 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,800 a warehouse, a storehouse of treasure. 313 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:50,240 It is like an Amazon warehouse, full of everything that you need 314 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:55,400 to be able to pull forth for this life, to be able to do what 315 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,280 it is that God needs you to do as a believer. 316 00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:59,920 But guess where it is? It's all. 317 00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:07,400 Hidden in the fear of the Lord. It's all stored up and hidden in 318 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,920 the fear of the Lord. And there's a warehouse full 319 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,360 full of wisdom, full of knowledge. 320 00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:16,520 But we're going to see what else. 321 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:21,080 Listen, this literally means a storehouse, which you can also 322 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:26,320 go to Malachi about giving. This is the literal storehouse. 323 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,840 So when he says where the fear of the Lord is is where your 324 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:37,160 treasure is, there is a storehouse waiting for you of 325 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,840 we're going to see not just spiritual things, wisdom and 326 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:46,880 knowledge, salvation, not just spiritual things. 327 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:53,320 This word storehouse, oh man, this word treasure is like a 328 00:28:53,440 --> 00:29:04,000 treasury, a treasury and a treasury is something that also 329 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:10,440 has weaponry. It even indicates weaponry. 330 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:17,360 So in this treasury of the fear of the Lord, there's some 331 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:24,640 weapons that are stored up, come on and waiting for you to tap 332 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,520 into. It is. 333 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:31,440 It is storing up every, everything that you need, 334 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:36,120 wisdom, knowledge, deliverance. It also means deliverance. 335 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:42,600 It means a weapon tree, everything you need to fight the 336 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:49,040 devil, to walk in this life and have success and be all that God 337 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,600 has said you are in Christ Jesus. 338 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,800 Everything. There's a Amazon warehouse 339 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:03,440 waiting for you to put your ticket in and have it delivered 340 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,280 at your doorstep in less than 24 hours. 341 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,960 I went shopping yesterday. I don't like shopping. 342 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,080 Really. I really don't. 343 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,440 I want to go in one store that has it all so I don't have to go 344 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:31,040 all around. And so and I didn't really want 345 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,800 to go shopping yesterday because I knew I had to minister this 346 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:38,120 thing and I just really wanted to pray and to fast and, you 347 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,920 know, be all spiritual and have this. 348 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:50,680 And and so we ended up spending all day long shopping and trying 349 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,280 to find me an outfit. Found me not one thing. 350 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,440 This this beautifully came up out of my closet already. 351 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:03,680 Didn't have to buy a thing. Bought Pastor 3 new suits. 352 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:17,720 Stand up and a new shirt couldn't find me. 353 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,200 Go to the whole Daytona outlets and not find me. 354 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,520 Not one thing. What in the world? 355 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:32,640 What in the world shot we did Literally didn't get home till 356 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,640 6:00. I mean and then he's like, well, 357 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,640 let's run into TJ Maxx on the way home. 358 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:38,800 Maybe you'll find something there. 359 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:46,440 When in TJ Maxx, nothing. Went into JC Penney's. 360 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,720 Oh my God, no, we didn't. He didn't go. 361 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:53,960 He made me go into Dillard's. Anyway, why was I going to say 362 00:31:53,960 --> 00:32:00,200 that? A warehouse, Yeah, that's why, 363 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,480 because we went to the Daytona Mall, after we went to the 364 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:08,920 outlets, we went to the old Daytona Volusia mall. 365 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,480 They have 3 Dillard's attached to their mall. 366 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:22,480 This Dillard's had three huge warehouses that were the mall 367 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,280 full of clothes. He says surely you're going to 368 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:31,840 find something in here. I mean, this place is, I mean, 369 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,160 it just goes on and on and on and clothes and clothes and 370 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,160 clothes. I mean clothes after clothes 371 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,480 after clothes. And not find one stitch that I 372 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,600 even liked. Am IA picky clothes shopper? 373 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:52,800 I don't even know. And he's like, well, what are 374 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,880 you going to wear tomorrow? I wanted you to get a new 375 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,560 outfit. I said something will appear in 376 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,480 my closet. You know, I'll put something 377 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,880 together. Anyway, it was full. 378 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,040 This. If y'all have never encountered 379 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,600 this Dillard's at the old Volusia Mall. 380 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,280 I mean I'm serious. You need to just go see it just 381 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:15,880 to believe it. It was like 3 huge of our JC 382 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:23,240 Penney's area 3 and the Belk area three of those and it was 2 383 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:29,440 stories. Three of them, two stories, so 384 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,640 much. It was overwhelming. 385 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,120 That's probably what it is, because I like to go into one 386 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,160 store, find one little thing and leave it. 387 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,320 It was so overwhelming. There were so many clothes. 388 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,440 I'm like, I don't even know how people shop in here anyway. 389 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,560 A storehouse. It was full. 390 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,960 And that's what we have in the fear of the Lord. 391 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:55,760 A storehouse that is full of whatever come on, whatever you 392 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,240 need as a believer in the earth today. 393 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:04,120 And so he says, listen, the fear of the Lord will be your 394 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:08,000 treasure will be your will be your storehouse. 395 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,920 Look at Proverbs 14. Proverbs 1426 through 27 says 396 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,120 those who fear the Lord are secure. 397 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:21,199 They have strong confidence He will be a refuge for their 398 00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:25,159 children. I'm telling you the way you fear 399 00:34:25,159 --> 00:34:31,159 the Lord affects your children and This is why people don't 400 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,400 know. You know what's going on with my 401 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:44,570 well check up in your house. He says verse 27 the. 402 00:34:44,570 --> 00:34:48,570 Fear of the Lord. Is a life giving Here it is 403 00:34:48,690 --> 00:34:51,800 fountain. So it's a treasury. 404 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,520 It's a storehouse full of anything that you need from God. 405 00:34:56,120 --> 00:35:01,800 It is a life giving fountain that offers escape from the 406 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:06,880 snares of death. A life giving fountain where the 407 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,080 fear of the Lord is, it's going to be life. 408 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:15,520 When there is No Fear of the Lord, there's death and the 409 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:22,480 enemy can bring a snare and a trap to your life because 410 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,560 really, you're lacking the fear of the Lord. 411 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,800 You're lacking the fear of the Lord. 412 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,520 We have to recognize these things. 413 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:35,720 But it is a spring of life, you see, that So not only is the 414 00:35:35,720 --> 00:35:40,160 fear of the Lord. You know, again, everybody when 415 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,560 you hear you say the fear of the Lord, they think, oh, this is 416 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:48,200 so, you know, whatever, it's so hard and he wants to be so hard 417 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:52,320 on me and oh, I'm, I'm, you know, have to have the fear of 418 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,200 the Lord. No, he says. 419 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,120 The fear of the Lord is life giving. 420 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:04,400 It actually means it is the starting point of life when you 421 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,080 look that up. It is the. 422 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:10,400 Starting point of life. The. 423 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:17,440 Starting point, the source that everything is going to spring up 424 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:22,240 out of the fear of the Lord and and when where there is No Fear, 425 00:36:22,240 --> 00:36:26,640 things seem dried up in your relationship with the Lord when 426 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,760 there's No Fear. Look what else he says it's a 427 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,240 life giving fountain a fountain is something that is continually 428 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,880 so that means there's a refreshing there's springs of 429 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,960 living water. Come on, that source that's 430 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:43,560 flowing within you? But not only that is a source of 431 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:50,120 joy. Joy, joy wellspring is what they 432 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:54,560 call it, the joy wellspring. That means there, where there's 433 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,840 the fear of the Lord, there's going to be joy, there's going 434 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:02,400 to be refreshing, there's going to be water flowing and a 435 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:07,760 refreshing at all times. And joy can spring up and spring 436 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:13,480 forth in your life where there's the fear of the Lord, where 437 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:18,520 there's the fear of the Lord. Psalms 147 and 11, no. 438 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,920 The Lord's delight is in those who fear. 439 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:21,840 Him. See he. 440 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:26,920 Delights in those who fear him and those who put their hope in 441 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,160 his. What unfailing love? 442 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,360 See, there's the fear of the Lord and the unfailing love. 443 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,160 We're not trying to, you know, separate that. 444 00:37:36,240 --> 00:37:40,960 But when you do separate it, you'll either have legalism or 445 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:45,920 you'll have full blown grace that never requires you to. 446 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,280 To do anything, he's done it all, but when they're 447 00:37:50,280 --> 00:38:00,100 functioning properly, when they're functioning properly, 448 00:38:00,620 --> 00:38:04,100 they'll be some life that will spring forth. 449 00:38:04,260 --> 00:38:08,540 They'll be a delight. He says listen, wisdom and 450 00:38:08,540 --> 00:38:11,780 knowledge, the fear of the Lord again, here it is. 451 00:38:11,780 --> 00:38:18,120 Second Scripture will be your treasure will be your treasure. 452 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:22,800 Hallelujah. Look at Proverbs 910 and 11. 453 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,880 Proverbs 9/10/11 The. Fear of the Lord. 454 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,720 Is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge. 455 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:34,680 So it is at the foundation. We already said that. 456 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,920 Or the beginning of wisdom and knowledge. 457 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,840 You see that? So if we're going to walk in the 458 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:47,080 wisdom and the knowledge of our salvation, the fear of the Lord 459 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:52,440 has to be within our life. It's the beginning, it's the 460 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:57,200 beginning of wisdom and knowledge and understanding. 461 00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:03,640 For by me your days will be multiplied and your years will 462 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:07,880 be added to you. Come on with long life He will 463 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,320 satisfy. Listen, your life, your life can 464 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:16,440 be multiplied and added to the days of your life when you fear 465 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,520 Him. We see it all the time. 466 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:22,640 People that are against God, they are rebellious towards God. 467 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,960 Why do you think they're dropping dead early? 468 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,600 Why do you think death is rampant in their life? 469 00:39:27,720 --> 00:39:32,640 Why do you think there's so much drama and chaos and destruction 470 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:37,160 in everything they're doing? Because there's No Fear of the 471 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:43,600 Lord, but those who fear him, you can be guaranteed that he's 472 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,640 going to add to the days of your life, that he's going to 473 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,080 multiply. Come on. 474 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:56,160 Oh, he says also with long life he will satisfy Hallelujah. 475 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,840 So it can be a multiplication to your life. 476 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:07,200 Proverbs 22 and 4 says this, the reward of humility and the fear 477 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:11,080 of the Lord. Here it is, our riches, honor 478 00:40:11,240 --> 00:40:14,760 and life. Riches, honor, and life. 479 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:19,120 So that treasury that we were talking about, that storehouse 480 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:23,960 that we were talking about has to do with riches, not just 481 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:28,480 spiritual things like I said, like wisdom and knowledge and 482 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,960 salvation and all the things that the Lord brings through His 483 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:38,640 word to our life, grace, mercy, joy, love, peace, kindness, all 484 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:42,480 those spiritual things. He lets us know that riches, 485 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:48,240 this will be added to your life riches, and it is literally a 486 00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:51,080 treasury. It is literally money. 487 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:59,720 Riches will be added to your life, riches, finances. 488 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:05,520 You should see an addition to your life as your fear. 489 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,760 You know why you're not? Because you don't fear the Lord 490 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:13,600 to give. All right, so I, you know, 491 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,720 pastor talked about that. I'll, I'll move on. 492 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:25,640 So then he goes on to say riches, honor, honor, honor will 493 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:30,000 be a part of your life when you actually fear him and honor him. 494 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:35,200 See, he reciprocates everything, everything. 495 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:39,120 He reciprocates everything. You honor him, He says, I'll 496 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,080 honor you. I'll lift you up. 497 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,760 You honor one another. Come on, honor one another. 498 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:51,400 You talking about people gossiping about people hurting 499 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,720 people. That is not honor and it's not 500 00:41:54,720 --> 00:41:58,200 the fear of the Lord. But when you decide you're going 501 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:02,760 to honor people and love them and go on about your business 502 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:06,120 and and all these other things, listen, then he's going to honor 503 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:10,640 you. He's going to honor you because 504 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:18,320 whatsoever a man, he will reap. He will reap. 505 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:26,600 And people can reap dishonor. And so he says in life, life, 506 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:31,640 life, riches, honor and life. And then this literally that 507 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:36,440 riches, honor and life needs the abundance of glory. 508 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:44,720 Rich's honor and life means the abundance of glory. 509 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,320 And when I look that word up there with the abundance of 510 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,480 glory where he says Rich is honored and it has to do with 511 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,920 the weight of who he is upon your life. 512 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,520 That is what Adam walked in, when he walked in the garden. 513 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,520 He walked in all of God's what glory. 514 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:09,400 He walked in all of God's glory. The full weight of who God was 515 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:16,960 was in Adam. Life itself was in Adam. 516 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:22,960 The glory of God was upon Adam. The glory was within Adam. 517 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,920 That's why we know when he disobeyed, He what He disobeyed. 518 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:32,920 The glory departed. So this was the full weight of 519 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,960 who God is. And when you begin to operate 520 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:40,160 within the fear of the Lord, the full weight of who God is will 521 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:44,120 rest upon your life. And that's the thing that God 522 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:48,040 that people will see. They'll see the glory of the 523 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,760 Lord upon your life. Come on. 524 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:56,120 He wants the glory of the Lord to be upon you in such richness 525 00:43:56,120 --> 00:44:01,120 and fullness and life that when you walk, come on out of these 526 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:05,160 doors and wherever you go, people see the glory upon your 527 00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:09,120 life. They see the glory, they see the 528 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:13,800 full way and measure of God upon your life because you're 529 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:21,280 carriers of the glory of God. But it don't come if there's no 530 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,200 honor, if there's No Fear of the Lord. 531 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:30,120 Hallelujah. Glory to God much you could say 532 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,840 about that. That's what this reigning church 533 00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,840 is going to look like. The reigning church is going to 534 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:41,320 have the fullness. Of God, the fullness of the 535 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,800 glory of God resting upon it once again. 536 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:49,160 Come on, those who will believe, those who will walk and do what 537 00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,400 it's what we're supposed to do. Those that will fear the Lord, 538 00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,880 those that will put Him first in everything they're doing. 539 00:44:55,880 --> 00:45:00,960 Come on, I'm telling you, the glory of the Lord will rest upon 540 00:45:01,240 --> 00:45:04,760 and we're going to see it. It rested upon them in the book 541 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:12,760 of Acts. In the book of Acts and where 542 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:18,000 little side note and where the glory rest, miracles will happen 543 00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:22,520 easy, easy, easy. Miracles will happen easy. 544 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,640 Signs and wonders will happen easy. 545 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:31,560 Because there's the fear of the Lord upon everyone, upon 546 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,720 everyone. You know, we had Doctor Jack 547 00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:39,720 Myers do the Kingdom Institute graduation and he ended up 548 00:45:39,720 --> 00:45:43,640 laying hands on someone after the graduation and immediately 549 00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,600 their bodies were healed and they saw it. 550 00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:51,560 And, and he said, Pastor Earl, the reason why that can happen 551 00:45:51,720 --> 00:45:56,200 is because you've set an atmosphere with the glory of God 552 00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:05,040 for miracles to happen. That's why it was easy. 553 00:46:06,720 --> 00:46:09,480 That's why it was easy. See, it's here. 554 00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,920 But if you take for granted what's here and don't realize 555 00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:18,960 you're sitting in it, come on. If you don't honor it, 556 00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:25,680 Hallelujah. So he says, where was I at 557 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:33,240 Proverbs 817? I love those who love me, and 558 00:46:33,240 --> 00:46:36,240 those who diligently seek me will find me. 559 00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:43,240 Riches and honor are where with me, enduring wealth and 560 00:46:43,240 --> 00:46:48,720 righteousness in the midst of the paths of justice. 561 00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:56,880 To endow those who love me with wealth that I may what fill 562 00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:04,840 their treasuries. That I may feel their treasuries 563 00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:10,120 for those who love him and seek Him and are walking in 564 00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,640 righteousness. He's ready to add to your 565 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:20,600 treasury. Psalms 112133 Praise ye the 566 00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,280 Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth 567 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:26,560 the Lord, that delighteth greatly in His commandments. 568 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:30,080 His seed shall be mighty upon the earth. 569 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:34,880 The generation of the uprights shall be blessed. 570 00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,960 Wealth and riches shall be in His house. 571 00:47:38,240 --> 00:47:41,600 His righteousness endureth forever. 572 00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:49,680 See, the fear of the Lord affects your house affects the 573 00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:53,240 next. Your seed affects your seed 574 00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,720 affects your seed. So this isn't just about us, 575 00:47:58,720 --> 00:48:02,760 it's about the next generation and it's about the seed that's 576 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:06,080 still coming forth. Hallelujah. 577 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:10,320 And, and, and all has to do with us that will honor him and the 578 00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:14,520 things that are being stored up and things that are stored up 579 00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:18,400 for us to walk into. Look at this, it says in Psalms 580 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,960 3318. It says, but the Lord watches 581 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:25,320 over those who fear him and those who rely on this, his 582 00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:30,560 unfailing love. I fear him and guess what? 583 00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:37,160 I rely on his unfailing love. I fear him, and I rely on his 584 00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,200 unfailing love. That ought to be a confession 585 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:44,200 out of your mouth. I fear him, and I rely on his 586 00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:49,000 unfailing love. I fear him and I rely on his 587 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:53,400 unfailing love. I fear him, and I rely on his 588 00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,960 unfailing love. Hallelujah. 589 00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,200 And when you fear him, you'll do what pleases him. 590 00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:09,680 You'll do his commandments, you'll do his word above all 591 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:14,160 else. You'll do his word above all 592 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,240 else. You'll do his word. 593 00:49:16,240 --> 00:49:20,680 You'll keep his word, you'll keep his word. 594 00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:27,120 And with that you can be assured that there is things right there 595 00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,760 waiting for you. This ought to be our confession. 596 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:37,520 Psalms 8611. Teach me Thy way, O Lord, and I 597 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:47,720 will walk in Thy truth. Unite my heart to fear Thy name. 598 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:59,600 Teach me Thy way, Lord. Unite my heart to truth, to Your 599 00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:08,400 truth, not the world's truth, not my own opinion of truth, but 600 00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:15,360 your truth, right, your truth, your truth, so that I would fear 601 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:21,920 your name, because those that will fear him will honor him. 602 00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,640 John Bevere says this. The fear of God is to believe 603 00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:31,720 God. To believe God is to obey him. 604 00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,640 So when you truly say, Oh yeah, I believe God, Oh yeah, I have 605 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,800 faith. Are you obeying him and and how 606 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,800 are you obeying him? Are you obeying him according to 607 00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,800 your standard or are you obeying him according to the standard of 608 00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:51,920 his word? Those, those are the ones that 609 00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:55,440 fearing that I'm going to obey him according to the standard of 610 00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:59,160 his word, not according to what makes me feel good, not 611 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,240 according to all these other things, but according to what 612 00:51:02,240 --> 00:51:05,600 does his word say about this situation? 613 00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:10,040 And I'm going to do that in the midst of it, right? 614 00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,600 I'm going to do that. AW, Tozer says this. 615 00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:24,200 When men no longer fear God, they trust transgress his laws 616 00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:33,640 without hesitation. When men no longer fear God, 617 00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:39,920 they transgress his laws without hesitation. 618 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:46,760 Without hesitation. Wow, when people just flippantly 619 00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:52,280 are doing things without doing it according to what the 620 00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:57,440 standard of the word is, without hesitation, is there really fear 621 00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:06,200 of the Lord in their life? Without hesitation, they will 622 00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,800 transgress His laws. We're not talking about, you 623 00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:13,920 know, the 10 commandments, guys. We know that His word is His 624 00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:20,920 law. And when people flippantly do 625 00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:27,120 things that you know are outside of scripture and don't even 626 00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:36,160 hesitate to do it, there is No Fear of the Lord. 627 00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:42,200 There's No Fear of the Lord. There's No Fear of the Lord. 628 00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:49,040 See, when we have the fear of the Lord, Proverbs 813 says 629 00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:52,520 this. The fear of the Lord is to hate 630 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:58,840 evil. It's to hate evil. 631 00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,360 And anything against His word is evil. 632 00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:08,600 It's evil. Anything against his word is 633 00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:12,160 evil. Pride and arrogancy and the evil 634 00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:18,320 way and the forward mouth do I hate. 635 00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:25,920 So we have to ask ourselves, do we? 636 00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:31,160 Do we, you know, just flippantly do the things we want to do, 637 00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,400 even though we know that scripturally this isn't how 638 00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,680 you're supposed to do things? OK. 639 00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:41,960 Proverbs 16, six and seven. By loving kindness and truth, 640 00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:48,480 sin or iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the Lord. 1 641 00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:53,040 keeps away from evil. You see that? 642 00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:58,080 So the fear of the Lord is going to keep you away from evil. 643 00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:02,920 The fear of the Lord honoring Him, reverencing Him, doing His 644 00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:07,360 word, being obedient, it's going to keep you from wanting to do 645 00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:11,080 evil. And when you just flippantly do 646 00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:15,520 evil, or it you don't even hesitate to do evil, there is No 647 00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:20,360 Fear of the Lord in your life. No Fear of the Lord. 648 00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:21,960 This is what Scripture is saying. 649 00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:27,320 This is not what I'm saying. This is what Scripture says. 650 00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:31,240 And he says it in a loving, fearful way. 651 00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,920 It's all connected. Oswald Chambers says this. 652 00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:41,640 Or excuse me, Spurgeon. Spurgeon says this. 653 00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:45,760 He who fears God has nothing else to fear. 654 00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:58,640 Hallelujah, Woo. He who fears help has nothing 655 00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,680 else to fear. Glory to God. 656 00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:08,520 Oh Hallelujah. See, it'll keep you. 657 00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,680 It'll keep you in the midst of your enemy. 658 00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,960 You don't have to fear. Not one thing. 659 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:19,400 Hallelujah. Glory to God. 660 00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:22,800 You don't have to fear man. You don't have to fear a 661 00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:24,880 situation. Come on. 662 00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:30,640 You don't have to fear cancer because you fear him. 663 00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:36,800 You fear him? Oh. 664 00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,760 Hallelujah. Then Oswald Chambers said this. 665 00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:44,920 The remarkable thing about God is that when you fear God, you 666 00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:49,320 fear nothing else. Whereas if you do not fear God, 667 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:58,280 you will fear everything else. You'll fear everything else. 668 00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:02,360 But when you have the fear of the Lord in your life, you don't 669 00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:05,920 have to fear. Not one thing, not one thing, 670 00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:14,280 not one thing, Hallelujah. Not one thing, Glory to God, not 671 00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,120 one thing. Hallelujah. 672 00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:20,920 Oh Hallelujah, glory to God, say I fear the Lord. 673 00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:27,120 I fear the Lord. Hallelujah, let me read this 674 00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:29,360 last scripture. Yep, we're at the last 675 00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:31,560 scripture. Can you hang on and hold out 676 00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,200 Psalms 34? Because it's not just one 677 00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:42,760 scripture, it's several. 7 through 11, the last passage of 678 00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:48,080 scripture. Hallelujah, the Angel. 679 00:56:48,320 --> 00:57:02,720 Of the Lord Hallelujah in camps around those who fear. 680 00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:08,960 Him. Oh, Hallelujah, I fear the Lord. 681 00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,720 Glory to God, say I fear the Lord. 682 00:57:12,240 --> 00:57:16,880 I fear the Lord. Oh, I don't want to do anything 683 00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:20,560 that dishonors him. Glory to God because. 684 00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:24,560 My. Angels, Hallelujah, my angels, 685 00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:27,240 glory to God, are encamped around me. 686 00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:31,800 See, that's why you don't have to fear a thing, because when 687 00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,520 you fear Him, you don't have to fear a thing, because His angels 688 00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:38,600 surround you. Hallelujah, oh, His angels 689 00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,840 surround you, and guess what they do? 690 00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:47,240 And he rescues them. Glory to God, oh taste and see 691 00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:52,080 that the Lord is good. How blessed is the man that 692 00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:56,280 takes refuge in him. Oh, fear the Lord. 693 00:57:56,280 --> 00:58:01,600 You his Saints. Fear the Lord. 694 00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:06,520 You're his Saints. Fear the Lord. 695 00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,880 Not just mothers. You Saints. 696 00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:15,360 You Saints. You need to do a check up from 697 00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:16,960 the neck up. Who said that? 698 00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,520 All right, Raphael, quit trying to preach me down. 699 00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:27,000 You had your time, now just get it. 700 00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:32,000 A. Check up on the fear of the Lord 701 00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:35,760 in your life. Are you running towards evil or 702 00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:43,920 are you running away from it? Oh Hallelujah, those that fear 703 00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:47,920 Him. Oh Hallelujah, all you Saints, 704 00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:51,720 for to those who fear Him there is no want. 705 00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:59,480 There is no want for those who fear Him. 706 00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:05,120 What is it that you want? What is it that you want? 707 00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,000 Why don't you move on over into the fear of the Lord? 708 00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:12,400 What is it that you want? Move on over into the fear of 709 00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,600 the Lord. What is it that you want? 710 00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,280 Move on over into the fear of the Lord. 711 00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:19,440 Come on, what is it that you want? 712 00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:23,720 Move over into the fear of the Lord? 713 00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:31,240 Because in Him there is no want. There's no want, there's no 714 00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:33,920 want. The Young Lions do lack, and 715 00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:38,960 they suffer hunger, but they who seek the Lord shall be in any 716 00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:44,600 want of any good thing. Come you children, listen to me, 717 00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:52,840 say, listen to me, listen to me. He who has ears to hear, say, 718 00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:57,360 listen to me. Let's check up on the fear of 719 00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:01,600 the Lord in our lives. Let's check up. 720 01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,880 Listen to me. Isn't that what he's saying? 721 01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:09,360 I will teach you the fear of the Lord. 722 01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:14,120 I'll teach you the fear of the Lord. 723 01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:25,280 Teach you the fear of the Lord.
