How to Grow Your Fear of the Lord — The Awe of God | Study with John Bevere

I want to make a very important statement our holy fear grows proportionally to our comprehension of God's greatness the antithesis is also true we'll dumb down God's greatness even to the point of human limitations the less We Fear him that's why you see scriptures in the Old Testament scriptures in the Book of Ezekiel like son of man have you seen what the leaders of Israel are saying the Lord doesn't see us now we all know when we were kids we could hide things from our parents right come on we can hide things from our friends

it is one thing to think you can hide something from your parents it's another thing to think we can hide something from God the book of Hebrews says there is not one created being that is not fully exposed to the eyes of him of whom we must give an account hey we've got to face it here the fear of the Lord keeps us in touch with the with the fact that God sees everything we do and therefore we have an audience and I like to call it an audience of one Live Like You're before an

audience of one knowing that God will see you now ananias and Sapphira didn't do this in Acts chapter 5 they were outdone they were outdone the man from Cyprus Barnabas comes in brings the massive offering all of a sudden all the people's attention goes on to the Barnabas it used to be on ananias and Sapphira they were probably the biggest givers in the church they didn't like the fact that the attention went away from them and onto the other man so they said hey we're going to go sell the biggest plot of land we've got

and we're going to give only part of it because it's way too much to give all of it but we want to appear we want to appear as if we're giving everything and so what did they do they lied and when they did they did it in the presence of that great manifested Glory that we talked about in the last chapter and when they did this they all over dead now this is what's interesting is that the scripture says when they fell over dead so great fear Came Upon all the church not all the city

all the church and upon all those who heard these things you know I believe that the glory and the greatness of God that manifested in the early church it was great but I believe what we're about to see in these coming years his glory will be even greater in fact God spoke to my heart and said the glory of God in these last days will be seven times greater than the book of Acts seven times and I've found scriptures I mean the Bible says the glory of the latter church will be greater than the former

the Bible says the end of a thing is better in the beginning the Bible says I gave you the former Reign the outpouring of the spirit in the book of Acts I gave it to you moderately which means what the latter rain is going to be make the book of Acts look like it was moderate we are heading for a time of great great Glory that's why we need the fear of the Lord because it purifies our motives it purifies our intentions so we don't do something stupid like what ananias and Sapphira did lying in

the presence of God deceiving in the presence of God hey this chapter should bring a little holy trembling into your life that's good that's healthy because you know what it will produce the wisdom to never do something stupid like ananias and Sapphira did I hope you're getting a lot out of this message and let me tell you it's really going to kick in from here on out it's going to get even stronger and even bring a greater resolve in your life to walk close to him I really hope you enjoyed that video and here's the
