Meeting Notes 01
The Fear of the Lord was the topic that was discussed. Really appreciate all of you opening up and being vulnerable. I believe this took more strength than not. God's presence was clearly there and I'm excited to see what becomes of this effort.
Here's the notes:
Fear Of the Lord
· To fear God is to hate sin.To fear God is to hate injustice.To fear God is to depart from evil in every sense—thought, word, and action. It is to refrain from speaking deceitfully. It will not say or put on an appearance that is untrue to one’s heart and thoughts. It keeps our outward behavior congruent with our inward thoughts, motives, and beliefs.
· To fear God is to walk in authentic humility before God and mankind.
· To fear God is to give Him the praise, adoration, thanksgiving, and worship He deserves.
· To fear God is to give Him all that belongs to Him.
· To fear God is to tremble before Him in wonder and awe. It is to give His Word and presence our full attention.
· To fear God is to obey Him. It’s not just a desire but an inward force determined to carry out His will, no matter the cost. We eagerly, willingly, and immediately obey—even if we don’t see a benefit or it doesn’t make sense—and we carry it out to completion.
· To fear God is to abstain from any form of complaining, murmuring, or grumbling.
· To fear God is to respect, honor, and submit to His direct and delegated authority. It is also to obey the delegated authority, with the only exception being if the authority tells us to sin.
· The fear of the Lord shapes our intentions, thoughts, words, and actions.
Benefits of Holy Fear

· The fear of the Lord is how we mature in our salvation and are conformed to the image of Jesus.
· The fear of the Lord is clean; it produces true holiness in our lives.
· To abide in the fear of the Lord is to secure an eternal legacy.
· The fear of the Lord produces confidence, fearlessness, and security. It swallows up all other fears, including the fear of man.
· The fear of the Lord gives us identity, makes us productive, and empowers us to multiply.
· The fear of the Lord provides angelic assistance, fulfilled desires, enduring success, nobility, influence, longevity, productive days, enjoyment in life, happiness, pleasure in labor, healing for our body, and so much more.
· The fear of the Lord endures forever—it will never fade. The fear of the Lord is a treasured gift from our heavenly Father.
