Seeking the Truth and Fearing the Lord

God instructs us throughout the bible to have a fear of the Lord.  With that comes a love of truth which leads us to our belief, our faith in God.  Our faith is what makes us righteous in God's eyes.  If we believe in Jesus Christ we are set apart from those that do not and do evil.  We all sin but we are accounted as Righteous by our Faith in Jesus Christ:



(Heb 13:6 [KJV])
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

(Prov 22:4 [KJV])
By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.

The Fear of the Lord defined from the Bible

(Prov 8:13 [KJV])
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

(Prov 15:33 [KJV])
The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.


(Prov 16:6 [KJV])
By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

(Prov 19:23 [KJV])
The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.


(Prov 9:10 [KJV])
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Today we are given the power, love and a sound mind through the Holy Spirit:
(2Tim 1:7 [KJV])
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

(Prov 15:16 [KJV])
Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.




(Lev 19:14 [KJV])
Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.

(Matt 13:41 [KJV])
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;



(Prov 1:7 [KJV])
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Prov 1:24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; Isa 65:12; Isa 66:4; Jer 13:10; 25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Job 27:9; Job 35:12; Isa 1:15; Jer 11:11; Jer 14:12; Ezek 8:18; Mic 3:4; 28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: 30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. 31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. 32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.8  33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.








(Num 14:9 [KJV])
Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.



Conclusion:


We find comfort as Christians in the Holy Spirit:

(Acts 9:31 [KJV])
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.


Fear the Lord and love the truth

(2Thess 2:7 [KJV])
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

(2Thess 2:8 [KJV])
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

(2Thess 2:9 [KJV])
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

(2Thess 2:10 [KJV])
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

(2Thess 2:11 [KJV])
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:



(Luke 12:4 [KJV])
And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

(Luke 12:5 [KJV])
But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

(Heb 13:6 [KJV])
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.


(Isa 46:9 [KJV])
Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,

(1John 2:15 [KJV])
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.


(1Pet 3:15 [KJV])
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:


Attributes of God


God is a Tri-unity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is the creator of all things. He is infinite and perfect, eternally existing in three equal persons, each possessing the nature of deity, as well as the characteristics of personality. He is Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient.

Deut 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: KJV

Isa 48:16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me. KJV

Matt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: KJV

John 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.  KJV

Acts 5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? KJV

Acts 5:4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. KJV

Acts 2:1-47  1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.  5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10  Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13  Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.  14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: 15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. 16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: 19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: 21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: 24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. 25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: 26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: 27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. 29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. 30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; 31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. 32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. 33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. 34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool. 36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.  37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. 41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.  42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.  KJV

2Cor 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.  KJV

Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. KJV

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(John 1:12 [KJV])
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Holy Spirit gives to us power, love and a sound mind as mentioned by Paul:


(2Tim 1:7 [KJV])
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Love (agape) Used in The Bible 281 Times But 23 Times in 1 John

Sometimes I like to see how often an important word or phrase is used in the Bible and then examine how it is used.  We all should know that love is a very important part of being a christian.  Jesus said we show our love for Him by keeping his commandments.  Also, we know that God loved us first and we must love our neighbors in turn.

And I enjoy pondering the fact that we are told not to love the things that are in the world.  I take every verse of the Bible as it is written.  If God says any man that loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him, then I believe exactly that.  So that is saying simply do not love the world.  If you love the world then you prefer the world over the heavenly home we should be looking forward to with Jesus.

What is love?  Read on:

(1John 2:5 [KJV])
But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

(1John 2:15 [KJV])
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

(1John 3:1 [KJV])
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

(1John 3:11 [KJV])
For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

(1John 3:14 [KJV])
We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

(1John 3:16 [KJV])
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

(1John 3:17 [KJV])
But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

(1John 3:18 [KJV])
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

(1John 3:23 [KJV])
And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

(1John 4:7 [KJV])
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

(1John 4:8 [KJV])
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

(1John 4:9 [KJV])
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

(1John 4:10 [KJV])
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

(1John 4:11 [KJV])
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

(1John 4:12 [KJV])
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

(1John 4:16 [KJV])
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

(1John 4:17 [KJV])
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

(1John 4:18 [KJV])
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

(1John 4:19 [KJV])
We love him, because he first loved us.

(1John 4:20 [KJV])
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

(1John 4:21 [KJV])
And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

(1John 5:2 [KJV])
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

(1John 5:3 [KJV])
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.





Some Interesting Connections Between Islam, New Age Movement, Luciferianism, the United Nations, Grace Movement, Prosperity Gospel and Biblical Christianity

Something I've noticed some time ago is that it just seems everyone you read about that is an expert on religion has a hammer to bash the doctrine that Jesus Christ taught. Be it Islam that says Jesus is not the Son of God, or New Age teachers that promote satanic writers like Helena Blavatsky (Wayne Dyar), or Deepak Chopra who speaks of Jesus as if he were a myth but lifts up Muhammad who won converts by the sword and was given his information through the channeling of an evil spirit.

Then you've got the wolves in sheep clothing teaching a worldly prosperity gospel or a hyper grace gospel.  Joel Osteen teaches very little that is in the bible and what he does say is taken out of context.  Joseph Prince tells people they can leave all the worries and guilt of sin at the door after they are on team Jesus.  Why?  Once you are saved you just sit back and let God do all the work, I mean he is going to get all the glory you know.  That is the kind of attitude that God will not be satisfied with. Those doctrines are pleasing to the sinners and natural man.  True conversion and being born again by the Holy Spirit is tough if you are being told the wrong stuff.

To all these false teachers I give a big thumbs down and hope maybe they will see the error in their ways.  Then they will need to admit that Jesus is the only way to salvation and repent of their false teachings.  God will even forgive these guys if they come to repentance.  It isn't too late for them to get out of the fast lane on the highway to hell they are all on.

Wayne Dyar Supports and Promotes Satanic Doctrine

I'm not certain if Wayne Dyar is a victim of the New Age movement or if he is in fact a willing participant.  But I've ready many of Wayne Dyar's books and I've recommended them as well.  What I did not realize at the time and this is before he was talking about Deepak Chopra and getting very spiritual, but now I can say with confidence that Wayne has gone off the deep end into the use of channeling to write and supporting known Luciferian Madame Helena Blavatsky's anti christian book called "Secret Doctrine".

You can get the book for free online to check the facts if you care to.  But if you are a christian and you also like supplementing your spiritual life with the readings of Wayne Dyar then I would suggest you pick your side.  Do you choose Satan or do you choose Jesus?  You cannot choose both.  Someone in my family that loves Wayne Dyar asked me if I thought he was evil.  At the time all I knew was that Wayne Dyar is new age and that he may be deceived.  But I had no idea that he actually promoted and praised a book called "Secret Doctrine" by Blavatsky.

Blavatsky says that the real god is Satan.  Blavatsky laid the groundwork through channeling this book from an evil spirit for Luciferianism.  This is the modern day secret society religion.  The founder of the North American Scottish Rite Freemasons Albert Pike was a follower of Blavatsky and Lucifer.  In his book "Morals and Dogma" which you can also get online for free he says that all Freemasons above the 32 degree know that the god which they worship is Lucifer which they call the Light Bearer.

So if Wayne Dyar has no issue with supporting a Luciferian's writings and praising those writings, then I say he is either deceived, possessed or purposefully serving Satan.  Either way, without a belief that Jesus is the only way to eternal life and repentance Wayne Dyar will not be with the Saints very soon at the Rapture.

Imagine Not Having Access to the Bible In Your Language

Now imagine what it would be like the day you received this.  Here is what that was like for a Tribe in Indonesia


Are You Entering Through The Straight Gate and Narrow Way Which Leads to Life, Or Are You On A Wide Path To Destruction?

Paul Washer classic quote: "I don't know why your clapping....I'm talking about you"


(Matt 7:13 [KJV])
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

(Matt 7:14 [KJV])
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

(Matt 7:15 [KJV])
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

(Matt 7:16 [KJV])
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

(Matt 7:17 [KJV])
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

(Matt 7:18 [KJV])
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

(Matt 7:19 [KJV])
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

(Matt 7:20 [KJV])
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

(Matt 7:21 [KJV])
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

(Matt 7:22 [KJV])
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

(Matt 7:23 [KJV])
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

(Matt 7:24 [KJV])
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

(Matt 7:25 [KJV])
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

(Matt 7:26 [KJV])
And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

(Matt 7:27 [KJV])
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.





Are you a true Christian? Are you sensitive to sin and repent when you sin?

The Christian choice is the only way to provide eternal life.  Jesus Christ is the only way to our heavenly Father.  We must choose to follow Jesus Christ, and if we do that and believe in Him then we will be saved. We become born again by the power of the Holy Spirit changing our lives and regenerating our minds daily.  We love our fellow man so that those that do not believe may feel the love of God.

How Much Will It Cost To Be a Christian After the Rapture

Paul Washer says, "they will come after us, they will come after our children......the net even now is closing around your children....you will be isolated from society.....until finally we are silenced.....for being radicals....you will go down as the biggest bigots in history.....and you wonder why they come out of schools not serving Christ....you fed them to the wolves."

In history Christians are martyred for crimes not for a public glorifying of these people.  We will be persecuted and accused by man for hideous crimes.  Be ready to lose everything.


The persecution of christians is happening now in the US.  Spiritual warfare is in full swing.  We are being silenced and in many cases there is a requirement by the government to lift up abominations in order to do business with the government (LGBT mandates).
