Podcasts about fear of the lord

Paul Johnson teaches from Proverbs 15: 33 and lays out a clear Kingdom progression: the fear of the Lord → wisdom → humility → honor. He describes the fear of the Lord as the “locomotive” that pulls the rest of a believer's life forward. When people rightly fear God, they become teachable. Teach-ability leads to wisdom. Wisdom produces humility. And humility prepares the way for honor. This message is both a call to personal alignment and a biblical explanation of why honor matters in the life of the Church. The fear of the Lord is not about terror without relationship. It is reverence, awe, surrender, and the recognition that God is holy, God is in authority, and we will give an account to Him. It calls us to stop playing games with God, return to His Word, hate evil without hating people, and live with holy seriousness. A teachable heart is essential for spiritual growth. Pride blinds us to our own flaws and magnifies the failures of others, but humility helps us see ourselves rightly before God. Honor is not something to chase. It is not self-exaltation, attention-seeking, or the desire to be noticed. True honor is the fruit of a life that fears God, walks in wisdom, and lives in humility. To honor someone is to value them for who God made them to be. Where is God inviting you to grow today—in reverence, in teach-ability, or in humility? Don't just hear this message—let it shape the way you live. The Roads Church: https://theroads.church

What happens when the gospel truly takes hold of a person's life? In 2 Corinthians 5:11–21, the apostle Paul shows us that the gospel doesn't simply improve us—it makes us new.Because of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, our deepest motivations are transformed, our identity is completely renewed, and our purpose in the world is redefined. The love of Christ begins to control our lives, freeing us from living for ourselves and calling us to live for the One who died and was raised for us.Through Christ, we are made into a new creation. The old has passed away, and the new has come. As people who have been reconciled to God, we are now entrusted with the message of reconciliation and sent into the world as ambassadors for Christ.This message explores how the gospel reshapes our motivations, gives us a new identity in Christ, and calls us into a mission to proclaim God's reconciling grace to the world.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

The sermon introduces a new series called “Practical Proverbs,” encouraging believers to read the Book of Proverbs and apply God's wisdom to everyday life rather than living by feelings or impulse. Using Proverbs 4, the message teaches that godly wisdom is passed down through spiritual mentors, but each person must take personal responsibility for their devotion by listening to God's Word, guarding their hearts, and being intentional about their actions, speech, and influences. Ultimately, believers are called to walk faithfully with God because living according to His wisdom leads to a blessed life now and prepares them to live as people of eternal life through Jesus.

Being afraid of something doesn't sound preferable, but throughout the Bible we see benefits from fearing the Lord. Find out what that can look like for us today and what we'll experience when we do!Receive The fear of the Lord is the starting place for wisdom and it leads to a never-ending friendship with a loving God. Scripture reveals that fearing the Lord is intended to comfort us not to scare us. Because the more we understand God's character, the more we are compelled to revere Him. God's Word guides us to express our fear of the Lord through right living, rejecting evil, and clinging to what is good.  Reflect Read the verses connected with this episode below.

What happens when people “fear the Lord” in a healthy way? Explore how this can lead to wisdom and relationship with God!Receive The Bible's wisdom books remind us again and again that the fear of the Lord is where real wisdom begins—and that's the kind of wisdom we need for everyday life. From big decisions to ordinary moments, we all need God's perspective to help us navigate what's in front of us. Proverbs offers that wisdom with a hopeful, “glass half-full” lens, giving practical guidance for daily choices. Ecclesiastes meets us in the tension, naming life's frustrations and uncertainties with a more “glass half-empty” honesty. And Job takes us deeper, showing that a healthy fear of the Lord isn't about being afraid—it's about being drawn into a real, trusting relationship with God as we learn to revere all of who He is, even when life doesn't make sense.  Reflect Read the verses connected with this episode below. As you reflect on the Scripture, what stands out to you? Proverbs 1:5 Proverbs 24:5 Ecclesiastes 1:18 Proverbs 24:3-4 Ecclesiastes 2:20-21 Ecclesiastes 9:11 Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 Job Psalm 22:22-24 Psalm 19:7-10 Psalm 25:8-14 Would you say you identify more with the “glass half-full" approach to wisdom in Proverbs, or the “glass half-empty" approach of Ecclesiastes? Job's story demonstrates that fearing God is relational and not transactional (see Job 1:9). Why is it important to fear God for who He is and not for what He does? How does this type of reverent fear strengthen your relationship with God? God assured Job of His power and presence and unlimited perspective. How did this help Job have a healthy fear of God (see Job 42:1-6)? How can this help you have a healthy fear of God? Fear of the Lord invites you into a deeper relationship with Him (see Psalm 25:14). How can that help you live wisely today?  Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Jesus, help me have a healthy fear of God that allows me to live with wisdom throughout my life. Enable me to revere God for who He is and not for what He does so that I may deepen my relationship with You. Open my eyes to see more clearly the wonder and awe of who You are.”   Discover more about the topics in this episode with these recommended resources Mentioned in this episode: Ecclesiastes | Week 1  Ecclesiastes | Week 2  Our Daily Bread Mobile App  Listen: Proverbial Wisdom  A Life of Wisdom and the Proverbs 31 Woman  Read: Reverent Fear  Understanding the Bible: The Wisdom Books  Watch: Mount Arbel - Sermon on the Mount and the Great Commission

The Fear of the Lord: Reverent Trust That Shapes the Christian Life Show: Anchored in the Word (Servants of Grace Podcast)Host: Dave Jenkins Show Summary What does it mean to fear the Lord and why does it matter for everyday Christian living? In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins explains that the fear of God is not terror that drives us away, but reverent trust that draws us near. The fear of the Lord produces wisdom, deepens worship, drives out lesser fears, and shapes how we read Scripture, pray, fight sin, endure trials, and live with confidence in God's unshakable kingdom. Audio Player Video Player Episode Notes Key Scriptures Psalm 111:10 Proverbs 1:7 Hebrews 12:28–29 Acts 9:31 Matthew 10:28–31 Big Idea The fear of the Lord is trusting reverence a weighty, joyful awareness of God's holiness that leads to wisdom, worship, obedience, and freedom from the fear of man. Full Article What Does It Mean to Fear the Lord? Few phrases appear as often in Scripture and are misunderstood as often as “the fear of the Lord.” Some hear that phrase and imagine dread, anxiety, or the kind of terror that makes a person run and hide. But that is not how the Bible teaches God's people to understand this fear. Psalm 111:10 says, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.” Proverbs 1:7 adds, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Isaiah calls the fear of the Lord a treasure for God's people (Isa. 33:6). And the book of Acts describes the early church as walking “in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 9:31). The fear of the Lord is not presented as a passing theme, but as a foundational mark of faithful living. The Fear of the Lord Is Not Terror, but Trusting Reverence When Scripture calls believers to fear God, it is not calling us to the kind of fear that makes us run away from Him. It is the kind of fear that draws us near—because it recognizes who God is. He is holy. He is righteous. He is sovereign. He is mighty. And He is worthy of obedience, honor, and worship. In other words, the fear of the Lord is a trembling that loves God—not a terror that hides from Him. Think of Isaiah in Isaiah 6. He sees the glory of the Lord, trembles, and confesses his sin. Yet God cleanses him and sends him on mission. Or consider Peter in Luke 5. When Jesus fills the nets with fish, Peter falls down and says, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man.” Yet Jesus does not cast him away He draws him near and says, “Do not be afraid.” True fear of God humbles us, exposes our sin, and then drives us to the grace and mercy of God. The Fear of the Lord Produces Wisdom Proverbs tells us plainly that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Why? Because fearing God rightly does at least three vital things. It puts God in His proper place as holy and authoritative. Since God is God, His Word is true, His commands are good, and His ways lead to life. It puts us in our proper place as dependent and needy. We are not wise on our own. We are not strong on our own. We are not righteous on our own. But God is all these things, and He supplies what we lack. It reorients how we see the world. Life stops being about self-rule and becomes about God's rule. Life stops being about our wisdom and becomes about God's wisdom. Wisdom begins when we bow before a sovereign God as revealed in His Word. Foolishness begins when we refuse to bow to Him. The Fear of the Lord Drives Out Lesser Fears One of the great paradoxes of Scripture is this: when you fear the Lord, you fear nothing else. And when you do not fear the Lord, you fear everything else. The fear of the Lord frees us from the fear of man, the fear of the future, the fear of suffering, and the fear of death. Why? Because the God you fear is the God who saves you, keeps you, and holds you. Jesus says in Matthew 10: “Do not fear those who kill the body… rather fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” And then He immediately comforts His people by reminding them they are of more value than many sparrows. The fear of the Lord produces both sobriety and security—because God is holy, and God is also faithful. The Fear of the Lord Fuels Worship and Joyful Obedience The fear of the Lord is not cold, dry, or distant. It produces worship. It produces delight. It produces obedience rooted in love. Hebrews 12:28–29 calls believers to offer acceptable worship “with reverence and awe,” because our God is a consuming fire. God's holiness is weighty. His glory is real. His presence is not casual. A casual view of God leads to casual obedience. A weighty and biblical view of God leads to joyful obedience. This is why Acts 9:31 says the early church walked in the fear of the Lord and the comfort of the Holy Spirit not fear or comfort, but fear and comfort together. The fear of the Lord and the comfort of God are not enemies; they belong together in the Christian life. How the Fear of the Lord Shapes Everyday Christian Living What does the fear of the Lord look like on Monday morning? It shapes how you read the Word of God—you come recognizing it is God's authoritative voice. It shapes how you pray—boldly, yet humbly; confidently, yet reverently. It shapes how you fight sin—you take sin seriously because God takes sin seriously. It shapes how you love others—you aim to honor God in relationships, home, and church. It shapes how you endure trials—you rest in God's sovereignty, wisdom, and goodness even when life is painful. Walking in the fear of the Lord aligns your whole life under God's authority and God's grace as revealed in His Word not as a burden, but as a blessing. Final Encouragement Psalm 112:1 says, “Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.” The fear of the Lord is to delight in Him. To bow before Him is to find life in Him. To reverence Him is to rest in Him. May God help each of us to walk in the fear of the Lord with reverence, with joy, with trust, and with confidence in His unshakable kingdom. Episode Highlights The fear of the Lord is not terror—it is reverent trust that draws us near to God. The fear of the Lord produces wisdom by putting God in His rightful place and us in ours. The fear of the Lord drives out lesser fears—especially the fear of man, the future, and suffering. The fear of the Lord fuels worship marked by reverence and awe, because our God is holy. The fear of the Lord shapes daily life: Bible intake, prayer, holiness, relationships, endurance, and joy. Takeaways Ask the Lord to give you a weighty view of His holiness and a warm confidence in His grace. Identify where the fear of man is controlling you—and replace it with reverent trust in God. Approach Scripture and prayer with humility, confidence, and reverence. Let the fear of the Lord produce joyful obedience rather than casual Christianity.

What does it mean to fear the Lord—and why does it matter for the Christian life? In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins explains the biblical meaning of the fear of God. Contrary to common misunderstanding, the fear of the Lord is not terror that drives us away from God, but reverent trust that draws us near. Scripture teaches that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, the foundation of worship, and the pathway to joyful obedience. Drawing from passages such as Psalm 111:10, Proverbs 1:7, Hebrews 12:28–29, and Acts 9:31, this teaching shows how fearing God rightly shapes everyday Christian living—how we read Scripture, pray, fight sin, endure trials, worship, and live with confidence in God's unshakable kingdom. This episode also addresses how the fear of the Lord frees believers from the fear of man and produces wisdom, stability, and joy rooted in the Word of God. Key Scriptures: Psalm 111:10; Proverbs 1:7; Hebrews 12:28–29; Acts 9:31; Matthew 10:28–31 For more from Anchored in the Word please visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/anchored-in-the-wordpage/

How Mystery Babylon Infiltrates and Influences the Church | KIB 515 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description Subtitle: Mystery Babylon in the Church: How a Seductive System Keeps Believers Trapped This Kingdom Intelligence Briefing (episode #515) digs into a hard but crucial question: How has Mystery Babylon infiltrated and influenced the Church? Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake unpack how a global Babylonian system has been built around us—politically, economically, spiritually—and how it keeps people "comfortable," passive, and afraid to confront evil. Mary shares a sobering picture the Lord showed her of a Babylonian "cloud system" that pulls people back in whenever they try to step out, and a deeply personal testimony of confronting hidden darkness, trauma, and occult networks. From there, Dr. Lake lays out a powerful biblical teaching on Mystery Babylon's strategy to infiltrate and then influence the Church: Seduction instead of open confrontation Syncretism (mixing paganism with Christianity) Entertainment-based "worship" replacing reverence Prophetic performance instead of true prophetic voices Debt, media, and politics used to pressure pastors The push to blur holiness, law, and biblical authority You'll also hear about current examples, including the Sean Bolz / Bethel prophetic scandal, how fear of confrontation keeps leaders trapped, and why so many ministries will not face what's really going on. Most importantly, this episode is a call to the remnant: To face the truth about Babylon's influence To come out of religious harlotry and man-made empire To return to holiness, the fear of the Lord, biblical depth, and true spiritual warfare To embrace kingdom identity over cultural identity To be willing to suffer well, stand apart, and be "the absolute other" in a collapsing system Dr. Lake closes with a prophetic look at what's ahead in 2026–2027, the coming shaking of Babylon, and a charge to stand firm so you can hear, "Well done, My good and faithful servant."

discussion of deception, lawlessness, and the clear signs we are in the last days. 18:00 – The Sean Bolz / Bethel prophetic scandal Mary reviews the public information: mining social media and conference registrations to fake "prophecy," Bill Johnson's apology, and the refusal to confront earlier. 23:00 – The danger of needing "a word" instead of hearing God for yourself Why the obsession with personal prophecies is dangerous, and encouragement to seek God directly. 27:00 – True prophets vs false prophetic performance Dr. Lake shares earlier experiences with real prophets, how they confront sin, and the fear of the Lord that surrounds true prophetic ministry. 32:00 – Mary's personal testimony: coming out of Babylon and trauma Mary recounts her own journey: Deep depression and blocked memories A whistleblower woman who exposed local occult and corruption Fort Leonard Wood hospital stories, missing babies, and a man who claimed to be her son The cost of facing painful truth and choosing to confront instead of deny 42:00 – The necessity of spiritual warfare and praying your own way out Mary exhorts listeners: no one can do all your praying for you;

Listen to this week's sermon, Vision: Honoring God with our Wealth preached by our Pastor of Environments Rev. Justin Grimm from Proverbs 1:7, 3:9-10, 13-15.

In this episode, Jen Tringale discusses the urgent call for a renewed fear of the Lord in the body of Christ, unpacking how honoring God positions us to move with Him in this prophetic season. She explores what it means to put God first in daily life and corporate gatherings, how God's purposes unfold by degrees, and why a disciplined reverence for His presence prepares the church for greater measures of glory and transformation.
