The Only One Who Deserves Our Fear Is Almighty God

The Only One Who Deserves Our Fear Is
Almighty God
When I was a Muslim,
I gave the god of Islam so much respect without even knowing him.
Now that I have a relationship with the true God,
I don’t give Him the respect that is due to Him.
I get too casual with Jesus Christ sometimes.
True fear, awe, and respect toward God Almighty
provide a very strong covering for us.
Godly fear will bring security and will cause us to rest in awe
that He is mighty and great and above all things.
Godly fear protects us and is needed in our love relationship with Him.
How I wish that I could know His fear and rest in it.
Grant me Your fear, O Lord, that I may praise You with awe.
The only fear that brings rest is the holy fear of God.
Do you want to rest?
Sometimes we submit to any fear but the fear of God.
This can be the cause of our restlessness.
We should know that the only One who deserves our fear is Almighty God.
No other person or thing deserves our fear.
I don’t want to be afraid of You, but I want to have
Your fear in me, Almighty God.
Teach me how to mix Your fear with Your love
and never separate those two from each other.
As we grow in the fear of God, the enemy has less access to our lives.
We can burn every other fear with the holy fear of the
one true God in our hearts.
The Bible says that perfect love will cast out all fear:
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
(I John 4:18).
This is not referring to the holy fear of God.
When we mix the love of God with His holy fear,
it will cause grace to abound in our lives.
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
(Isaiah 11:3).
And He will be the stability of your times,
A wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge;
The fear of the Lord is his treasure
(Isaiah 33:6).
So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee
and Samaria enjoyed peace, being built up;
and going on in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit,
it continued to increase
(Ac ts 9:31).

From Getting to Giving

From Getting to Giving I had a meeting with a minister today and it was very hard for me. When I got back home, I asked the Lord to tell me the reason. I felt He said that I went to the meeting to receive, not to give. I went to the meeting to get some possible connection for future ministry. May the Lord change our attitude from getting to giving . Selfishness will creep in on us and jump on our shoulders. No matter what we do, if we do it to gain something, we will never be satisfied. Most of our giving is conditional, and conditional acts open the door for our old nature to kick in. Unconditional acts open the door for our new nature to come in. When our new nature rules, there is peace and comfort in the Spirit. But when our old nature rules, there is agony and discomfort. May we allow the Spirit of God to come out of us through our unconditional acts and thoughts. From Kamran Yaraei’s Book “Food For The Heart”.

He Comes to Kill

He Comes to Kill When facing a thief with a gun in our houses or workplaces, we think that if we give him all of our money, then he will leave us alone and let us live. Sometimes we have the same mindset when we meet Jesus. We believe that if we give everything we have to the Lord, and serve Him well, then He might just let us live. But the point is this: The Lord doesn’t come to steal, but to kill. He is not after our possessions, He is after our flesh—our old, sinful nature. The Lord will use all of our daily struggles to kill our flesh. Our good works and giving will not stop Him from doing this. “Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it” (Luke 17:33). It is very important to know that as we get closer to the Lord, we get closer to the death of our flesh. This should be great news to us. He wants us to get close enough that He can kill our old nature, which is thoroughly described in Galatians 5:19-20: Now the works of the flesh are ev...
