Understand The Fear Of The Lord
Hello, welcome to another message titled “Understand The Fear Of The Lord.”
Recently, I made a Facebook prayer post that said:
“May God help you to understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.”
The fear of the Lord is very important, and the knowledge of God is also very important. It is through wisdom, understanding, and the Word of God that a person truly begins to understand the fear of the Lord.
The great men and women of the Bible all had one thing in common: they feared God.
Jesus Himself walked in the fear of the Lord. The Spirit of the fear of the Lord rested upon Him. Jesus lived a blameless and holy life because He completely submitted Himself to the Father.
Jesus said:
“The ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.”
The fear of the Lord ruled the life of Jesus.
David was called a man after God’s own heart because he feared God. Noah walked with God because he feared God. Abraham obeyed God because he feared God. Moses was called the meekest man on earth because he feared God.
Paul also feared the Lord deeply. He said:
“Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel.”
Paul understood accountability before God. He understood judgment and responsibility.
The fear of the Lord is the understanding that God’s Word is true and that His judgments are real. It is knowing that nobody can break the Word of God and escape the consequences.
God’s laws are spiritual laws. What a person sows, they will reap.
Adam and Eve lost the fear of the Lord when they believed the serpent’s deception. God warned them clearly:
“The day you eat of it you shall surely die.”
But the devil convinced them that judgment would not happen. That same deception is still operating today.
The devil’s greatest weapon is deception.
Jesus said:
“You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
The more truth you have, the more freedom you experience. Jesus Himself is Truth, which is why He walked in complete victory.
The enemy constantly tries to convince people that sin has no consequences, that judgment is not real, and that people can disobey God without consequences.
But God’s Word cannot fail.
The Bible says:
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”
The fear of the Lord teaches believers to flee from evil, resist temptation, and walk carefully before God.
Many people spend too much time fearing the devil instead of fearing God. But Jesus said:
“Fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.”
God alone is Judge. God alone gives life. God alone has final authority.
The devil only works through deception and lies. He twists minds, distorts truth, and tries to remove the fear of God from people’s hearts.
When the fear of the Lord is absent, people become comfortable with sin, worldliness, immorality, pride, rebellion, and compromise.
But when the fear of the Lord enters a person’s life, they begin to hate evil and love righteousness.
The fear of the Lord is holy. It produces wisdom, purity, obedience, humility, and discernment.
The Bible describes foolishness in Proverbs 9 as a woman calling people into sin and destruction, saying:
“Stolen water is sweet.”
That is how temptation speaks. Sin promises pleasure, but behind it is death and destruction.
Many people secretly practice evil thinking nothing will happen, but Scripture says:
“Her guests are in the depths of hell.”
Sin leads people into spiritual destruction when they refuse correction and truth.
The devil deceives people into believing they are smart while they reject God’s ways. But true wisdom comes from obedience to God.
People who reject the fear of the Lord eventually become blinded spiritually. The more deception controls a person, the harder their heart becomes.
The fear of the Lord protects believers from deception because it teaches them to obey God quickly and take His Word seriously.
When the Holy Spirit speaks, obey quickly.
Many believers struggle because they ignore the voice of God repeatedly until correction comes.
The fear of the Lord teaches us to judge ourselves quickly, repent sincerely, and turn away from sin immediately.
The Bible says:
“Do not give place to the devil.”
The devil only gains access when doors are opened through sin, disobedience, pride, compromise, and unbelief.
Jesus lived in complete surrender to the Father, and believers are called to follow His example.
The Bible says:
“Be holy, for I am holy.”
God desires holiness, purity, obedience, and sincerity from His people.
Perfect love for God drives out fear of the enemy because a heart fully surrendered to God walks in confidence, authority, and truth.
The more the devil has nothing in you, the more authority you carry spiritually.
That is why believers must resist sin, resist deception, and remain rooted in the Word of God.
When you fall, repent quickly. Judge yourself quickly. Do not allow sin to become a lifestyle.
The fear of the Lord is not bondage; it is protection. It keeps believers aligned with truth and keeps them walking in wisdom and victory.
Pray for the Spirit of the fear of the Lord to rest upon your life the same way it rested upon Jesus and the great men and women of the Bible.
May the Spirit of the fear of the Lord rest upon you. May God fill you with wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and discernment.
May the Lord strengthen you to walk in holiness, truth, and obedience.
May He preserve you from deception and establish you in righteousness.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Remain blessed. Have a good day.

Prayer For Divine Favour, Open Doors & Victory Prayer – Laura Bon
Carry the Fire of God!
The gates of hell will not prevail against you.
This is God’s will for you.
Pray! Pray fervently with persistence and faith.
Wait upon the Lord to carry God’s fire.
Demons will flee in terror. No demon or witch can withstand the presence, glory, power, fire, or blood of God.
Pay the price to continually put on the fire of God through persistent prayer.
Revelation 3:18 says,
“I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.”
Embrace spiritual discipline. To buy is to trade your spiritual laziness and worldly distractions for the spiritual discipline of constantly waiting upon the Lord to seek His face and power.
You will seek God and find Him when you seek Him with all your heart.
God promised that you will find Him. You will experience His visitation, mercy, and fire.
He said,
Jeremiah 29:12–14 NKJV
“Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity.”
God wants you to experience the fullness of life.
He wants you to carry His presence and fire in the highest degree and dimension here on earth.
He wants you to be a king and prince on earth. When you manifest as a son of God, carrying His fire and power, you will do exploits for Him. The gates of hell will not prevail against you. Rather, you will prevail against the gates of hell and be a terror to demons and the kingdom of darkness.
Demons screamed in terror and ran away from Jesus because Jesus was filled and surrounded by the presence, fire, and power of God.
Stop playing. Take your rightful place today. Carry God’s fire and power, and rule over demons and witches.
May God Himself teach your hands to fight and make war, in Jesus name, amen.

May God bless you with godly destiny relationships, in Jesus name, amen.
DO THEY LOVE YOU—OR DO THEY JUST NEED YOU?
Does someone truly love you if they are with you because they depend on you and need you?
Or do they simply love what you provide?
Those are two very different questions.
How do you know when someone truly loves you—and when you are simply needed, useful, or convenient?
The answer is deeper than most people think.
Love chooses. Dependency needs.
Love values the person. Dependency values the benefit.
Biblical love seeks the good of the other person.
Jesus loved people who could give Him nothing.
Loyalty reveals genuine love.
Mutual dependence is healthy. Codependence is not.
How do you recognize genuine love?

Develop a Deeper Passion for God’s Presence
May God fill you with a deeper passion for His presence.
May the Holy Spirit give you an unquenchable hunger for God.
May God make you a yielded vessel for His glory.
May God fill your cup until it overflows with His presence and power, in Jesus name.
The Holy Spirit wants passion. He wants love. We were created by love and for love. Your heart was created to be filled with the love of God. God’s presence and fire is His love.
God is looking for passionate believers whose greatest pursuit is His presence. God is looking for fervent, passionate lovers of God like Jesus and David.
Become a yielded vessel. Become a man or woman after God’s heart.
Nothing satisfies the human heart like the presence of God. Only the presence of God can make you truly happy and be filled with all the fruits of the Holy Spirit. You can’t live without God and His presence. You cannot be truly happy and fruitful without the presence and fire of God.
God delights in filling hungry hearts with His glory and presence. He wants hunger and passion.
May your heart continually burn with love for Jesus, and may God’s presence become your greatest delight all the days of your life. #prayers

Stop asking, “Do I love them?” Start asking, “Are they God’s perfect will for my life?”
Samson loved Delilah, but Delilah was not God’s perfect will for Samson.
Emotions can be very deceptive, and emotions can die, but a heart dedicated to God’s will sticks by you like that friend that sticks closer than a brother and that brother that is born for adversity.
Find out from the Holy Spirit if they are part of God’s plan and purpose for your life. Be purpose driven. Jesus and Paul were purpose driven.
When you become passionate about your destiny and purpose and making sure you are surrounded by your destiny partners like Jonathan, the apostles, and Joseph the husband of Mary, your relationships become very sweet. They glorify the Lord and please the Holy Spirit.
May God visit you mightily and plant your God ordained destiny relationships and spouses into your life, in Jesus name, amen.
