A Word sent to me:

I call you to blaze with Holy Fire.

Beloved, do not resist My Fire. Though it burns and consumes, yield to its power, for I am a zealous God. Many who have resisted My Fire will fall away in the coming days. Have I not said that My priests are a blazing fire? Even so, you must first invite the flames of purification and embrace the fires of Holiness. Then I will send you out as a flame to consume the hearts of men.

Do not quench the Spirit’s fire or resist the power and gifts that I give you. As you walk with Me and partner with Me, My Spirit Fire will conquer cities and bring them to the feet of My Son. The lame will walk, and the blind will see. This unreserved unity with Me, despite the cost, will radically alter your life, and, in turn, the lives of all with whom you come into contact. Expect Me to change your heart, and then you will witness changes, even in your family. You have not yet seen what I will do with a generation that burns wholly for me.

Luke 11:35–36

“Open your heart and consider My Words. Watch out that you do not mistake your opinions for revelation-light! If your spirit burns with light, fully illuminated with no trace of darkness, you will be a shining lamp, reflecting rays of Truth by the way you live.”

Walking in The Fear of THE LORD brings forth Holy Fire and HIS Judgments!

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 25:

12  Who are they that live in the Holy Fear of Yahweh? You will show them the right path to take.

13 Then prosperity and favor will be their portion, and their descendants will inherit the earth.

14 There’s a private place reserved for the devoted Lovers of Yahweh, where they sit near Him and receive the revelation-Secrets of His promises.

15 Rescue me, Yahweh, for you free my feet from every trap.

We should seek HIS Holy Fire to burn out any and all impurities in our lives.  Why?  This prepares us to be fully reliable and accountable to receive the revelation-secrets reserved for those who are in full unity with HIM.

Would you trust someone with your deepest secrets who is not 100% trustworthy?  Someone who might expose those secrets because they want to exploit or manipulate you for self-serving reasons?

FATHER reserves HIS Secrets for those HE can trust.  Be assured, HE knows our hearts better than ourselves.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 1:

27   Whatever happens, keep living your lives based on the reality of the Gospel of Christ. Then when I come to see you, or hear good reports of you, I’ll know that you stand united in one Spirit and one passion—celebrating together as conquerors in the faith of the Gospel.

28 And then you will never be shaken or intimidated by the opposition that rises up against us. Your courage will prove to be a sure sign from God of their coming destruction.

29 For God has graciously given you the privilege not only to believe in Christ, but also to suffer for Him.

30 For you have been called by Him to endure the conflict in the same way I have endured it—for you know I’m not giving up.

When we live our lives based on the reality of the Gospel of Christ and stand united in one SPIRIT, we will be the sure sign of the world’s coming destruction.  How do we become one in THE SPIRIT?  It is by moving toward and walking in the Fear of THE LORD thus allowing HIM to bring forth HIS Holy Fire.  What is the result?  We stand united in one Spirit and one passion.

We need to embrace judgment for it will bring us closer to the Fear of THE LORD.  The flesh wants no impact from judgment, but as I allow FATHER to expose all my impurities, I know HIS Love will correct me in those areas.

Jesus spoke in Revelation chapter 3:

14  “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:

15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.

16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’-and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked–

18 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.

19 As many as I Love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.

20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My Voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My Throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His Throne.

Jesus spoke forth judgments to the seven churches at the time of John’s later life.  These judgments are just as applicable today as they were in the first century.  The Laodiceans remind me of the majority of the churches today here in the U.S.  They have their programs, stages, loud music, lights, smoke machines, etc.  They think they have need of nothing!  How wrong they are.

What is the solution?  “FATHER bring forth the Holy Fire that we may be refined as pure gold.”  When this refinement occurs, the fake and blindness will be revealed.

Walking in The Fear of THE LORD keeps us from being adversely affected by the perilous times ahead and their deceptions!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Timothy chapter 3:

1   But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:

2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,

4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than Lovers of God,

5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,

7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the Truth.

8 Now as Jannes (meaning “he vexed”) and Jambres (meaning “foamy healer”) resisted Moses, so do these also resist the Truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith;

9 but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.

When men are lovers of themselves which results in self-centeredness, they become lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, and unholy.  They become legends in their own minds. 

Jannes and Jannes, were two Egyptian magicians who in the presence of Pharaoh imitated the miracles of Aaron in order to destroy his influence with the king. Paul derived their names from the tradition of the Talmudists and the Rabbins.

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Exodus chapter 7:

8  Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

9 “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Show a miracle for yourselves,’ then you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your rod and cast it before Pharaoh, and let it become a serpent.'”

10 So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, just as the LORD commanded. And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.

11 But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt (Jannes and Jannes), they also did in like manner with their enchantments.

12 For every man threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.

Do not be deceived by signs and wonders initiated by the adversary and his followers.  Know that FATHER will ultimately deal with them through you as you walk in The Fear of THE LORD.  Don’t fear their incantations or spells for they have no power over the true believer.

As you proceed down the list describing the end times, you can mark off each for they are all happening now, without exception.  It is vital that we pursue Holiness and the manifestation of The Fear of The Lord in our lives.

We need to be united, stable, and immovable in these times.  I have never seen such division as is happening in these times.  Only those who do walk in Holiness and The Fear of The Lord will be in full unity with FATHER.

How confident are you in your faith?  Jesus will return to judge the world and calls us to be faithful.  In the last days, times of difficulty will come and they have already arrived.  When the pandemic arrived, the church overall, was weak and unprepared.  Fear gripped the hearts of many.  Churches closed their doors rather than being known as a source of health and healing.  Does Jesus fear any virus or its variants?  Leprosy was no issue to Him.

Evil men and sorcerers will progress from bad to worse, deceived and deceiving, as they lead people further from the Truth.  Yet we must continue to advance in strength with the Truth wrapped around our hearts, being assured by God that He’s the One Who has truly taught us all these things.  HE has transmitted His very Substance into every Scripture, for it is God-breathed. It will empower you by Its instruction and correction, giving you the strength to take the right direction and lead you deeper into the path of Godliness.  Then we will be God’s servants, fully mature and perfectly prepared to fulfill any assignment God gives us.

Walking in The Fear of THE LORD keeps us from being exploited or manipulated by the world!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Corinthians chapter 1:

19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”

Paul referenced Isaiah 29:13-14.

FATHER spoke in Isaiah chapter 29:

13  Therefore the Lord said: “Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths And honor Me with their lips, But have removed their hearts far from Me, And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men (man-made rules),

14 Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work Among this people, A marvelous work and a wonder; For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.”

Man-made rules are simply exploitation and manipulation by men who speak with eloquent and enticing words.  They are known as master manipulators.  Many have been described as wolves in sheep’s clothing so beware!

Yes, the Fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure!  This is where the essence of abundant life resides.  Your smartphone has no life and most of your interaction is based on the world’s intended exploitation and manipulation. 

Why do smartphones come with games?  To move your focus to entertainment.  Why are there so many TV screens in restaurants?  To cause you to focus on entertainment rather than carry on a conversation with the person across from you.  Why are there now more than 300 channels available on cable TV?  Why is your smartphone capable of streaming videos?  Why do we need 5G technology for a simple phone call or text?  We don’t!  Can’t we see what the adversary is trying to move us away from?

Can young people spend ten minutes in silence, pursuing THE LORD without the mind wondering?  If they can’t,  they are being exploited and manipulated by the world (who are submitted to the adversary).

Exercising the brain is not bad in itself.  However, if your spirit is dormant, your mind will not be renewed by THE SPIRIT.

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Peter chapter 4:

7  But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.

8 And above all things have fervent Love for one another, for “Love will cover a multitude of sins.”

9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.

10 As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

11 If anyone speaks, let him speak as the Oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to Whom belong the glory and the Dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Hmmm, no smartphones, IPads, tablets, smart TV’s, or other technology were mentioned.  Instead, focus on walking in the Fear of THE LORD.

Since we are approaching the end of all things, be intentional, purposeful, and self-controlled so that you can be given to prayer.  Don’t allow yourself to become lukewarm.

PS: Yes, I know you are reading with a device mentioned above.  Technology is meant to be a tool to spread The Gospel and Love toward one another, not to be used for the purpose of redirecting our focus away from Jesus Christ.

Walking in The Fear of THE LORD is Sacred and as a result, we are able to walk in FATHER’S Wisdom!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Corinthians chapter 1:

17   For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”

I now marvel at the blindness of the world and their foolishness in believing those who speak by the world’s wisdom and understanding.  This deception is how the adversary keeps people enslaved.  FATHER’S Word will set the captives free if they will submit to the Fear of THE LORD.  After all, FATHER has the power to wipe us all out in a nanosecond if HE were not Love.  Who else has such power?

Paul continues in chapter 2:

1   And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God.

2 For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

3 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.

4 And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

5 that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

Said another way:

1 My brothers and sisters, when I first came to proclaim to you the Secrets of God, I refused to come as an expert, trying to impress you with my eloquent speech and lofty wisdom.

2 For while I was with you I was determined to be consumed with one topic—Jesus, the crucified Messiah.

3 I stood before you feeling inadequate, filled with reverence for God, and trembling under the sense of the importance of my words.

4 The message I preached and how I preached it was not an attempt to sway you with persuasive arguments but to prove to you the almighty power of God’s Holy Spirit.

5 For God intended that your faith not be established on man’s wisdom but by trusting in His Almighty power.

I am not an expert in anything, but I am a student of all.  Early in my business career, I was a bank officer in the state’s largest bank.  I decided that I should pursue an MBA to enhance my career.  FATHER spoke to me and said, “You don’t need it.”  The desire went away.  I found that HIS anointing and favor were better than any further education.  I simply pursued my calling based on being led by The Holy Spirit.  Did I make mistakes along the way?  Yes, but HIS grace and mercy were more than sufficient.  I repented often.

I am not an eloquent speaker nor am I an accomplished writer.  It is by HIS SPIRIT that I am able to write to you.  Some days, I have no leading.  Once I began to worship HIM and study, The Holy Spirit will guide me in that day’s communication to you.  I take no credit.

I have the same concern for our brothers and sisters as seen in Paul’s writings.  He was known as THE expert among the Pharisees.  His education was second to none.  However, he finally realized the inadequacy of his past endeavors.  Once he encountered the Fear of THE LORD, everything changed.  He became a new creation in Christ.

Surrender to THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY and walk in The Fear of THE LORD.  When you do, HIS Treasure will open up to you and give you access.

HE will be your constant Source of stability in changing times, and out of HIS abundant Love HE gives you the riches of salvation, Wisdom, and knowledge. Yes, the Fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure!

Walking in The Fear of THE LORD is Sacred as is Communion!

What happened to the reverence and respect of the assembling together in The NAME OF THE LORD?  Have the assemblies become profane (commonplace)?

Has Communion become a tradition rather than a Sacred event?  Solomon led the children of Israel back to the realization of Who GOD is and what HE deserves and expects from us.

I strongly recommend you read the following passage with great reverence and deep respect.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in 2^nd Chronicles chapter 6:

12  Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands

13 (for Solomon had made a bronze platform five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and he stood on it, knelt down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward Heaven);

14 and he said: “LORD God of Israel, there is no God in Heaven or on earth like You, Who keep Your covenant and mercy with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts.

15 You have kept what You promised Your servant David my father; You have both spoken with Your Mouth and fulfilled it with Your Hand, as it is this day.

16 Therefore, LORD God of Israel, now keep what You promised Your servant David my father, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man sit before Me on the throne of Israel, only if your sons take heed to their way, that they walk in My Law as you have walked before Me.’

17 And now, O LORD God of Israel, let Your Word come true, which You have spoken to Your servant David.

18 “But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, Heaven and the Heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this temple which I have built!

19 Yet regard the prayer of Your servant and his supplication, O LORD my God, and listen to the cry and the prayer which Your servant is praying before You:

20 that Your Eyes may be open toward this temple day and night, toward the place where You said You would put Your Name, that You may hear the prayer which Your servant makes toward this place.

21 And may You hear the supplications of Your servant and of Your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Hear from Heaven Your dwelling place, and when You hear, forgive.

41   then hear from Heaven Your Dwelling Place their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive Your people who have sinned against You.

41 “Now therefore, Arise, O LORD God, to Your Resting Place, You and the ark of Your Strength. Let Your priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, And let Your saints rejoice in goodness.

42 “O LORD God, do not turn away the face of Your Anointed; Remember the mercies of Your servant David.”

7:1  When Solomon had finished praying, Fire came down from Heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the Glory of the LORD filled the temple.

2 And the priests could not enter the house of the LORD, because the Glory of the LORD had filled the LORD’s House.

3 When all the children of Israel saw how the Fire came down, and the Glory of the LORD on the temple, they bowed their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped and praised the LORD, saying:

“For He is good, For His mercy endures forever.”

FATHER received true worship recorded in the above passage and responded accordingly.  It is time for the church to repent are reestablish the deep respect and reverence Our Heavenly Father deserves.

We must not sacrifice Sacredness simply to fill seats in the assemblies!

When we truly focus on The Fear of THE LORD, we come into unity with HIM!

Are you chasing miracles?  Are you pursuing knowledge?  Are you chasing after the next “revelation”?  Are you hungering for another prophecy?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 12:

1  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, Holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect Will of God.

We are to be Holy and acceptable to FATHER.  This allows us to enter into HIS Presence where the Fear of THE LORD resides.

We are to stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around us but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how we think. This change in mindset will empower us to discern God’s Will, perfect in His Eyes.

Are you seeking out His gifts or the Gift Giver?  We are to enjoy HIS Presence for everything else is secondary.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 24:

13  Now behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was seven miles from Jerusalem.

14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

15 So it was, while they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus Himself drew near and went with them.

16 But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not know Him.

17 And He said to them, “What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you walk and are sad?”

18 Then the one whose name was Cleopas answered and said to Him, “Are You the only stranger in Jerusalem, and have You not known the things which happened there in these days?”

19 And He said to them, “What things?” So they said to Him, “The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a Prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,

20 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and crucified Him.

21 But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened.

22 Yes, and certain women of our company, who arrived at the tomb early, astonished us.

23 When they did not find His Body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said He was alive.

24 And certain of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but Him they did not see.”

25 Then He said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

26 Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?” 27 And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

28 Then they drew near to the village where they were going, and He indicated that He would have gone farther.

29 But they constrained Him, saying, “Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.” And He went in to stay with them.

30 Now it came to pass, as He sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.

31 Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight.

The breaking of bread represents Christ’s Body and when the “breaking” occurred, their eyes were opened, not before.  Communion is the realization of a Spiritual union between Christ and those who come together with the right heart.

Communion is meant to bring us into unity with Christ and each other as we discern Him and His Love for us.  Jesus instructed the two men with Scripture and Its meaning, all pointing to Him.  However, once they came into unity with Him, their eyes were opened, and He revealed Himself.  Let us walk in Holiness so that we can fully commune with Him!

We need to discern the value of The Fear of THE LORD.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Isaiah chapter 33:

6  Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, And the strength of salvation; The Fear of the LORD is His treasure.

In order to become a fully mature Son or Daughter of GOD, it is vital that we pursue the full manifestation of The Fear of THE LORD in our lives.  After all, HE is the King and Ruler of the universe.  HE created all… including you and me.  There is no place where HE cannot access it.

Read the following closely and reverently-

The Beloved Disciple recorded by The Holy Spirit in Revelations chapter 5:

1  And I saw in the Right Hand of Him Who sat on the Throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals.

2 Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?”

3 And no one in Heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.

4 So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it.

How would you dress for this occasion?  Would you dare consider yourself worthy to open and read the scroll?  No, you would have your face planted down on the floor in reverence and awe of where you were at… in the Presence of THE ALMIGHTY!

5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.”

6 And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the Right Hand of Him who sat on the throne.

8   Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

9 And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

10 And have made us kings and priests to Our God; And we shall reign on the earth.“

The powerful angels were in full worship around The Throne.  What would you wear to the celebration?  Your best, not sweatpants and tennis shoes.

11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,

12 saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and Wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

13 And every creature which is in Heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: “Blessing and Honor and Glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”

14 Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him Who lives forever and ever.

We are to walk in Holiness with reverence and respect every day.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2 Timothy chapter 1:

6  I’m writing to encourage you to fan into a flame and rekindle the fire of the Spiritual gift God imparted to you when I laid my hands upon you.

7 For God will never give you the spirit of fear, but the Holy Spirit Who gives you mighty power, Love, and self-control.

Yield to The Holy Fire!

Now is the time to heat things up.

We are to subdue the earth by walking in The Fear of THE LORD.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in 2^nd Samuel chapter 23:

1  Now these are the last words of David. Thus says David the son of Jesse; Thus says the man raised up on high, The anointed of the God of Jacob, And the sweet psalmist of Israel:

2 “The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, And His Word was on my tongue.

3 The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me: ‘He who rules over men must be just, Ruling in the Fear of God.

4 And he shall be like the light of the morning when the sun rises, A morning without clouds, Like the tender grass springing out of the earth, By clear shining after rain.’

5 “Although my house is not so with God, Yet He has made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in all things and secure. For this is all my salvation and all my desire; Will He not make it increase?”

Though David was imperfect, he was a man after GOD’S Own Heart.

It is written about David by THE SPIRIT in 1^st Samuel chapter 13:

14  But (Saul) now your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD has sought for Himself a man after His Own Heart, and the LORD has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you.”

David Loved THE LORD and experienced THE FEAR OF THE LORD.  Love drew him near to the Presence of THE LORD and he ruled accordingly.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Timothy chapter 4:

1  I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, Who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His Kingdom:

2 Preach the Word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;

4 and they will turn their ears away from the Truth, and be turned aside to fables (ritualistic ceremonies).

5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

Some will be deceived.  We must actively resist any and all temptations.  If you knew you were being deceived, then you are not being deceived… how subtle!

The time is coming when men will no longer listen and respond to the healing Words of Truth because they will become selfish and proud. They will seek out teachers with soothing words that line up with their desires, saying just what they want to hear.  How many churches are expanding because they have promoted soothing words of THE WORD?  Where is the Fear of THE LORD in their meetings?  Where is The Holy Spirit manifesting?

Open my eyes FATHER, I don’t want to be deceived.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 81:

8  “Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you! O Israel, if you will listen to Me! 9 There shall be no foreign god among you; Nor shall you worship any foreign god.

10 I am the LORD your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11 “But My people would not heed My voice, And Israel would have none of Me. 12 So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, To walk in their own counsels.

13 “Oh, that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!

Who do you listen to?  THE GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH or some man or woman expounding an opinion?  What man spoke light into being?

It is also written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 111:

10  The Fear of the LORD is the beginning of Wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever.

Pursue the Fear of THE LORD instead of some person’s latest so-called revelation about life.  A “Dr.” or Ph.D. contained in a name does not guarantee revelation.  All Truth is in the midst of The Presence of THE LORD!

Walking in The Fear of THE LORD brings forth life!

Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 14:

26  In the Fear of the LORD there is strong confidence, And His children will have a place of refuge.

In the Presence of THE LORD, we have a place of refuge, a shelter, and security.  If FATHER is before us (and is for us), who can be against us!

27 The Fear of the LORD is a fountain of Life, To turn one away from the snares of death.

Said another way:

To worship God in wonder and awe opens a Fountain of Life within you, empowering you to escape death’s domain.

As you move toward the Presence of Our Heavenly Father, Life springs forth and prevails in you.  The opposite is also true.  If you distance yourself from HIM, spiritual blindness will begin to take over ultimately leading to death.  It is your decision.

Do you tremble at HIS Word?  Let not HIS Word be commonplace in your life for out of It is the wellspring of Life.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews 12:

18   For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest,

19 and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of Words, so that those who heard It begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore.

20 (For they could not endure what was commanded: “And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an arrow.”

21 And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I am exceedingly afraid and trembling.”)

Moses encountered the physical and was trembling, we should approach the Spiritual in the same manner in awe and respect.  During my morning prayer in 1995, FATHER spoke and said, “Do not use the word awesome unless you are referring to ME.”  I recommend that you heed that Word as well.  When we use a Word reserved for HIM for other reasons, we profane the Word.  We never are to express HIS Name in vain.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 5:

8 Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.

We are to read, study, and meditate on THE WORD which will cleanse our hearts.  We are to pursue HIS Holy Fire to purge our impurities and purify our hearts so that we can experience the Fear of THE LORD in Its greatest measure and still walk out our mission here on earth.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 12:

14  Pursue peace with all people, and Holiness, without which no one will see the Lord

15 looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled

Bitterness will keep you from walking in Holiness so do not allow yourself to hold a grudge.  Shake it off, forgive, and move on.  The world will hate us because we are like a spiritual mirror revealing their impending death and destruction.  Our mission is to convert them through Love if possible.
