We are walking in today: Fear, Love and Obedience.
Psalm 111:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. Before we get started today let's all take time to repent. Think about some of your thoughts, the things that you have said, the things that you have done. We all need to take time to repent this morning. We have been taught about the law of the Old Testament and then the grace of the New Testament. There should be no separation from the old Testament commandments and the new Testament of grace. It is almost like we have been taught to bring God against God. How many times have we been taught that we are no longer under the law, but of grace. This morning, I want to talk about fearing God. Psalms 111:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. The fear of the Lord is to keep His commandments. Why have we been taught all that we have to do is walk in His grace and not be held to His commandments? Do you truly think we can live old kind of way!? That we would choose to live our lives without the fear of God all the while professing love for Him! Psalm 34:9 O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. Psalm 34:7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. Psalm 25:12 What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. Psalm 25:14 The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. Psalm 31:19 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! Psalm 33:18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; Psalm 115:13 He will bless them that fear the Lord, both small and great. Proverbs 10:27 The fear of the Lord prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. The fear of the Lord lines up the old and the new Testaments together. There are many scriptures about fearing the Lord, let's look at the new Testament. Acts 9:31 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied. 1 Peter 2:17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. 2 Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. It is the responsibility of the 10 commandments laws to point out where sin in us exists. Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. Romans 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. Once the sinner is aware of the presence of sin their life, they flee to Jesus Christ of Nazareth in an attitude of confession and repentance for forgiveness and His grace. It is not the responsibility of grace to identify sin, this is the work of the law. Nor is it the responsibility of the law to empower the sinner to live in a victorious life and to be saved--this is the work of grace. So the law and grace work together in the experience of salvation. Each complimenting the other and carrying out the function of God's great plan. The law also defines sin in, 1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. The transgressions of Jesus' 10 commandments law. Also in James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. Sin is defined as knowing the 10 commandments require of us and refusing to obey. The third role of the law is to be the standard of judgement. All humans will face the requirements of the law, whether clothed in Jesus' righteousness or not. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. James 2:10-12 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. It is the connection with the third responsibility of the law that Paul makes an interesting statement in Romans 2:13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. As we have seen, we are justified by grace--being empowered by Jesus' grace, we live a life that is in agreement with and not contrary to the requirements of Jesus' law. Being in agreement with the 10 commandments law by the power of Jesus' grace. We stand justified when judged. This is to say our behavior is in agreement with what Jesus asked us because He has empowered us to obey by the His grace.
Now this morning, I need all of all us to do a self check. I need you to look directly in the mirror and look at yourself. Because we have been taught over and over again. That we are no longer under law which is in the 10 commandments and keeping them, works hand in hand with grace. Grace came that we would be able to stand. Grace came so we would be able to repent for the sins and be covered. But we must understand that the 10 commandments and grace are not separate, they are one together. We can't just live any old kind of way and say I am covered, by grace. Thank You Lord for Your grace! We can't just live any old kind of way! We want to walk according to Your word, not as those that are of the world. Jesus Christ of Nazareth said, if you love ME, keep my commandments. We have gotta seek out the truth of God's word! Line up with His word! He is coming back for a church without spot or blemish. Will we be found in the way that He said for us to stand? His grace is sufficient! But we can't live just any old way. No more just any kind of thinking! We must look to see about doing the things that are acceptable to the Lord our God! We have gotta get our house in order. He is coming back for a church with out spot or blemish. We gotta line up with His word. Be obedient! We need the fear of the Lord our God. It is sad that we have gotten to a place where we don't fear God. Because if you did, you would walk in His love and be obedient and doing what He wills! The fear of the Lord leads us to all wisdom, understanding and knowledge. We gotta get to the point where we walk this thing out! We are held accountable for every word of the book! Not just from Genesis but on through to Revelation. We can't take away or add to. The 10 commandments are not to be separated from the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. It all goes together! God is on His way back! Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Go deeper into His word, keep seeking Him! Grace doesn't exempt you from the 10 commandments! We can not live our lives just any old way before God! Put down that which is not acceptable to Him! We must fear Him and do what He says. We gotta get back to the point where we fear Him and wanna do what He wants us to do! We can no longer have His grace as permission to keep sinning! You can be turned over to a reprobate mind. In the word it says, 2 Thessalonians 2:10-11 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. There are churches out there just doing any old thing! 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. The 10 commandments and grace are there for a reason! Grace is what helps us to stand on the 10 commandments. Fear God! We can't live any old kind of way! Take a look at yourself and see what you are doing! Are you fearing God? Yes we have grace, if you keep on in what is not right, you can be turned over to a reprobate mind. Understand the law and grace. We are held accountable to both. There are too many scriptures talking about fearing God. Say anything, do anything, live any way? No. No. No! Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. In all thy getting get an understanding! Ask Him for wisdom. Why did we stop fearing God! Some one said you have grace now--we are held accountable. If we love Him, we will keep His commandments! Love isn't an emotion but a choice. We can attend church and yet not be changed if we choose not to. Walk in obedience to His will. Walk in the fear of God! Obedience is better than sacrifice. Hebrews 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered. Why did we stop fearing God? Someone said that, you have grace now, we are held accountable, if we love Him! We will keep His commandments. Love is not an emotion it is a choice! We can attend church and yet not be changed! Walk in obedience to His will! Walk in the fear of God! This is a hard word this Monday morning, we have been taught wrong for too long! Bringing God against God?! Jesus Christ of Nazareth came to fulfill the law. He came to fulfill what His Father said, His grace is sufficient as was told Paul. You still can't live any way! You are not exempt! Don't just keep sinning and repenting and not trying to walk in the fear of God! Take us back to when we feared the Lord. America doesn't fear God! Revelation 13 is being played out right now and no one is fearing God! How could they, they signed off on same sex marriages, all the while the church is quiet. President Obama is in Israel talking about splitting up the land. If he does that, judgement will fall on America. We must pray and seek His face! 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. No more of us living any kind of way! We don't fear God! Think about it, with a mere thought we would no longer exist! We must do His will and have a nevertheless in our hearts! Take us back that we walk in obedience to Your word. Take us back Lord God in heaven! Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom! Thank You Lord, the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob! He wants not one to perish! We have gotta get it right! The 10 commandments and grace, don't separate them! You will no longer just live any kind of way. We must still line up with His word. Thank You for showing up on fiveamprayer! He is waiting for us to turn and fear Him! We must keep ourselves humble and pray. We have gotten so wicked. We must turn from our wicked ways, that He would hear from heaven and heal the land. Thank You Lord God in heaven! Thank You for Your word! The Lord is getting us to a place of fearing Him! The word is a two edged sword! He has showed us His face, so that we could look at ourselves. Thank You for having us walk in humility and continue to keep us and deliver a word that is right on time on this line! When we know better, we are to do better! We lift up prayer requests and petitions. We wanna get it right, now! We do not want to hear, 'I don't know you--you workers of iniquity!' 2 Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. We must repent for every word spoke in error. Every thought what was out of order. We have only sinned against You, Lord, God--only You are holy and good. Help us to be lead by the Holy Spirit, taking off the carnal mind! We line up today. We see You Lord and we cry out to You! We lift up President Obama that the Holy Spirit would lead and guide him to all truth! Cover him and have him seek Your truth! Time is winding up--we must have fear, love and obedience unto the Lord our God! To hear this again click here.
We seal this prayer in the precious blood of Jesus of Nazareth, the only Begotten of the Heavenly Father and by the Holy Spirit: Fear is the beginning of wisdom. Love Him and keep His commandments. Obedience is better than sacrifice!
Welcome to the overflow...
Ask Him to rebuild me! He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Lord God rebuild my mind, my spirit, pour out fresh oil. Lord God in heaven rebuild our minds and thoughts! We cast down every imagination that comes against the knowledge of God! Take us back to when we feared God! That we loved Him. That we obeyed Him! He is watching your every move, listening to all that you speak--we will be held accountable! We need to get back to that fear, that reverence, honor, love and obedience! Get back to where you fear Him. How would that change how you act or what you would say if that was your filter, the fear of God? You will no longer live any kind of way. Think before you say things! Hallelujah and glory to His name! He comes with correction! Yet so gentle! Take the correction and get it right and let's move on! We are no longer stuck in the traditions of men! Follow me, as I follow Christ the Messiah! We are walking in His word only! Go and seek Him for yourself! You have to know for yourself! If God was sitting right there would you still do or say it? Fear. Love. Obedience. Take the correction today! This is personal, this is about your lifestyle. Hallelujah Lord! Read it for yourself! Get to fearing Him! We will get our lives together! Grace but you can't live just any way! Love His whole word--this is not a pick and choose. Would that be like God only liking us on our good days?! How often does that happen? Thank You Lord, that You abide faithful! He wants us to get this right! Be not ignorant of satan's devices! No more continuing in sin and then repent with no plans of actually changing! Or else you can be turned over to a reprobate mind. Thank You for the correction! You don't want your sin to stink in His nostrils! He keeps coming with a word to warn us! Because He loves us so much! It is not about tradition or what you were taught--what does His word say?! Take the correction! Grace and the commandments together! So are you gonna keep sinning and then ask for grace. While you keep living and speaking like that?! This is a warning! Thank You Lord for this hard word, that we have to look at ourselves! Look at how we think. Cast down those wrong thoughts! Wake up, your spiritual man this morning! Galatians 5:16-21 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. You have been warned, you better fear God! Thank You Lord! Galatians 2:16, 4:5 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. 4:5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. Study the word for yourself! We must have the whole word of God preached! Not a pick and choose! Grace isn't a free pass to live any old kind of way. He is coming with a warning this morning! Heed the warning! Fear Him! He is giving you the time to turn! Grace to walk with you to help you to get it right! Correction has come! Warning has come! You better fear God! The United States needs to fear God! Now God is showing us somethings in the spiritual! Revelation 13 is being fulfilled right now! He comes with correction to wake us up. Stop living any old kind of way! In the old days, He would take us out for much smaller offenses than what has sadly become common place now! If we love Him we will keep His commandments! Fear. Love. Obedience. We don't need a fluffed up word--we need correction! We need a ouch word not another encouraging word! We need a word that will sustain us in these times! Gimme correction! My heavenly Father loves us, He comes to correct us! Thank You Lord for coming to correct us in love. Listen to this one over and over today! Hear what He is saying--this is a warning! Thank You Lord God in heaven! Have a wonderfully blessed day!
