Chapter Twelve: Choose the Fear of the Lord

 

Luke 1:49–50 (NKJV)
49 For He who is mighty has done great things for me, And holy is His name.
50 And His mercy is on those who fear Him From generation to generation.

Proverbs 1:28–29 (NKJV)
28 “Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me.
29 Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the Lord,

Isaiah 33:6 (NASB95)
6 And He will be the stability of your times, A wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge; The fear of the Lord is his treasure.

The Fear of the Lord is not!
1. Natural fear
2. Demonic Fear
3. Fear of Man

2 Timothy 1:7 (NASB95)
7 For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.

1 John 4:17–18 (NASB95)
17 By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.

Hebrews 12:20–22 (NASB95)
20 For they could not bear the command, “If even a beast touches the mountain, it will be stoned.”
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, “I am full of fear and trembling.”
22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,

Awe and Reverence is a response to revelation of God, without revelation there is not true Reverence.

Genesis 31:42 (NASB95)
42 “If the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had not been for me, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God has seen my affliction and the toil of my hands, so He rendered judgment last night.”

Genesis 31:53 (NASB95)
53 “The God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” So Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.

Isaiah 11:1–3 (NASB95) The sevenfold manifestation of the Holy Spirit in Christ
1 Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, And a branch from his roots will bear fruit.
2 The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
3 And He will delight in the fear of the Lord, And He will not judge by what His eyes see, Nor make a decision by what His ears hear;

The Seven Spirits of the Lord

1. The Spirit of the Lord
2. The Spirit of Wisdom
3. The Sprit of Understanding
4. The Spirit of Council
5. The Spirit of Might
6. The Spirt of Knowledge
7. The Spirit of the Fear of The Lord

18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers,
19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

Proverbs 2:1–5 (NKJV)
