FEBRUARY 2024 FAITH MAIL

IN THIS SEASON, ALLOW THE FEAR OF GOD TAKE OVER YOUR LIFE

This season, fear God to experience the glory of God.
Faith is in hearing the word of God. 
Faith is the source of fearing God. 
A failure not to fear God is in doubt, evidence of not hearing the word of God to keep.
Romans 10:17 records, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” 
Without a doubt, not hearing the word of God will give fear a place in the position of faith. 
All that God wants from all is to hear and have fear for Him. 
Ecclesiastes 12:13 states, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all.” Hear to fear God.
To fear God is the key to live life for His glory.
God sent Moses the importance of hearing to fear Him. 
Deuteronomy 4:10 states, “…Gather the people to Me, and I will let them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.”  
Hearing the word of God is crucial to having faith, to fear God by not giving oneself to fear. 
The word of God through Moses for the children of Israel does not exempt all today. 
God is the same before yesterday, today, and forever. 
What is it denying you not to hear the word of God, to fear God?
The word of God against hindrance that denies to hear and not fear sounded for Israelites, “Then all the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones; so you shall put away the evil from among you, and all Israel shall hear and fear.” (Deuteronomy 21:21)
The force that hinders not hearing the word of God, to fear God, shall become terminated.
To fear God is faith, and to fear outside of God is doubt that will cause evil. 
Once, the journey of Peter demonstrates what it is to have faith and fear God but not become a victim of doubt.
With Peter, when he heard the word of Jesus, he walked on storm. However, when he set his eyes on the storm, taking his eyes away from the word of Jesus, he sank.
Jesus set Peter and other disciples on a journey engaged in the storm.
“Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.” (Matthew 14:22)
Disciples were in trouble water and did not see Jesus with them.
Matthew 14:26 records, “And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear.”  
Seeing the negative is shelving the positive to have heard. 
Disciples were troubled.
They cried out in fear because they could not remember all they had heard in the word of Jesus. 
Matthew 14:27-28 records the response to the disciples, “But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.” And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”  
The word of Jesus was for disciples to hear to deny fear. 
Hearing the word of God is a way to deny seeing fear at all times.
With fear in the storm, Peter responded to Jesus with faith and heard from God, saying, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” (Matthew 14:29-30)
Peter heard Jesus, and faith rose for him to walk in the storm. 
However, when he began to look away from God by focusing on the storm, his faith sank, and then fear rose in him to sink. 
Hearing the word of God is seeking God as the only source to avoid sinking in a storm. 
Self-deliverance will work when one gives self to the word of God. 
FEAR THE LORD GOD
Fear the Lord God, as some words in the Bible demand:
Deuteronomy 10:12, “And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.” 
THE EXPERIENCES WITH THE FEAR OF THE LORD  
The experience of one that fears the Lord God as the Bible identifies:
Psalm 128:1, “Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, Who walks in His ways. 
Psalm 19:23, “The fear of the Lord leads to life, And he who has it will abide in satisfaction, He will not be visited with evil.” 
Acts 9:31, “And walking in the fear of the Lord and the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.” 
Claiming as a believer is living by hearing the word of God that enable the hearer of the word to live in the fear of God.
By the fear of the Lord, one departs from evil. (Psalm 16:6)
