* the Fear of the Lord is clean-pure and endures forever…. We found it to be a TRUTH in both the Old Covenant and the NEW
*That the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, knowledge, & instruction
*Last we week we learned that it is a sensitiveness towards the LORD/WORD. TO HAVE a real sense and awareness of His being and presence
TODAY:
Prov 8:12 KJV I wisdom dwell with prudence (good judgement) , and find out knowledge of witty inventions (good discretion) .13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
HATE: to hate, to be an enemy to
EVIL: bad, unpleasing
(hold place in Prov 8)
Rom 12:9-NIV Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
Job 28:20-NKJV "From where then does wisdom come? And where is the place of understanding? 21 It is hidden from the eyes of all living, And concealed from the birds of the air. 22 Destruction and Death say, 'We have heard a report about it with our ears.' 23 God understands its way, And He knows its place. 24 For He looks to the ends of the earth, And sees under the whole heavens, 25 To establish a weight for the wind, And apportion the waters by measure. 26 When He made a law for the rain, And a path for the thunderbolt, 27 Then He saw wisdom and declared it; He prepared it, indeed, He searched it out. 28 And to man He said,'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, And to depart from evil is understanding.'"
DEPART---avoid, remove, turn aside from, come to an end, and decline
a WRONG WAY sign!
PROV 8:13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
PRIDE Isa 14:12- kjv 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Rom 1:21-NIV For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. 24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator — who is forever praised. Amen. 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. 28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
2 tim 3:5 says Having a FORM of godliness but denying the power there of FROM SUCH TURN AWAY.
Prov 22:4 True humility and fear of the Lord lead to riches, honor, and long life.

- Jun 2, 20246/2/24 – Understanding The Fear Of The Lord – Susan AllenJun 2, 20246/2/24 – Understanding The Fear Of The Lord – Susan AllenBy: Susan AllenSeries: Faith & BeyondUnderstanding the FEAR OF THE LORD 6/2/24 susan allen NOT EVEN LOVE WILL MAKE GOD COMPROMISE HIS HOLINESS Heb 12:28-nkjv Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire. NT:2124 Godly fear from VINE’S: "that mingled fear and love which, combined, constitute the piety of man toward God; the OT places its emphasis on the fear, the NT... on the love, though there was love in the fear of God's saints then, as there must be fear in their love now" IT doesn’t make us want to HIDE, but IT makes us want to be exposed to the Holy Loving God It’s HOLY FEAR Ps 34:1-KJV I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.3 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.9 O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. 11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
- THE FEAR OF THE LORD… there are strange conjunctions in the Word of God which make this interpretation impossible. What an amazing companionship is to be found in these words: -- "Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice! .... The fear of the Lord" is sensitiveness towards the Lord. It is the opposite of hardness, unfeelingness, benumbment. The soul that fears God is like a sensitive plate exposed to the light, and it records the faintest ray. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." Sensitiveness towards God is the beginning of wisdom. Sensitiveness in music is the beginning of musical ability; sensitiveness in art is the beginning of artistic competence. Sensitiveness towards .God is the beginning of expertness in the knowledge and doings of God. This sensitiveness towards God is one of the roots of the blessed life. To thrill to His faintest breathings, to hear the still small voice, to catch the first dim light of new revelations, to be exquisitely responsive to the movements of the Father, this is the great primary rootage of a full and blessed life. This sensitiveness towards God is a gift of God. "I will put My fear in their hearts." Jer 32:40

It was focused on sin consciousness not GOD CONSCIOUSNESS Prov 1:7 KJV The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Ps 111:10 KJV The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. Prov 15:31 KJV The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility. Gen 3 she FEARED what she might be missing rather than FEARING that what GOD had said was THE TRUTH. YOU SHALL SURELY DIE. Our growth will be stunted if we do not correctly understand the FEAR OF THE LORD 2 Tim 3:15-17 NIV Paul’s writing to Timothy … and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. The correct understanding of the FEAR OF GOD should give me a TEACHABLE SPIRIT. He is THE good FATHER. Ps 19:7- The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul.The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. 8 The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. 9 The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the Lord are sure and altogether righteous. 10 They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb. 11 By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.

(CELEBRATED) YOUR INFLUENCE is ALWAYS POWERFUL, even if they are watching from a distance. INFLUENCE: the capacity to have an effect on the character, development or behavior of someone The scriptures are very plain the influence of a woman Gen 2:18 AMP Now the Lord God said, It is not good (sufficient, satisfactory) that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper meet (suitable, adapted, complementary) for him. GEN 3 influence of the same woman used in the wrong way We have prov 31 praising the virtuous woman Titus 2 speaking of her outstanding influence on other women Prov 5 speaking of the “strange” woman and the destruction she can bring And the satisfaction a good wife can bring Prov 6 starting in verse 24 the warning against the words, and fluttering eyes of the ungodly woman that can take your strength Prov 12 you can be a crown to your husband or rottenness in his bones Prov 14 a wise woman who BUILDS her HOUSE and the FOOLISH ONE that tears it down with her own hands. 2 Tim 3 warns us that satan will try to use the influence of woman to worm his way into the home with deception OH the POWER and RESPONSIBILITY of INFLUENCE! Don’t let anything in the past steal the opportunity of influencing the future Whether they are watching closely or from a distance…they are watching! Read “She Chose to Fight” by Chelsy Lyles Have faith in the seeds of influence you are sowing now Don’t try to force things…but let the power of the seed of influence do its work Satan found your womanhood worth attacking but GOD, The CREATOR of the UNIVERSE THOUGHT it was WORTH WRITING ABOUT Titus 2:3-NIV Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. 4 Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God. Prov 5:3 NKJV For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil; 4 But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death, Her steps lay hold of hell. 6 Lest you ponder her path of life — Her ways are unstable; You do not know them. :18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. Prov 6:24-NKJV To keep you from the evil woman, From the flattering tongue of a seductress. 25 Do not lust after her beauty in your heart, Nor let her allure you with her eyelids. 26 For by means of a harlot A man is reduced to a crust of bread; And an adulteress will prey upon his precious life. 27 Can a man take fire to his bosom, And his clothes not be burned? Prov 12:4 KJV A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones. Prov 14:1 KJV Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. 2 Tim 3:6-NKJV 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 PROV 31 Gen 2:18 AMP Now the Lord God said, It is not good (sufficient, satisfactory) that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper meet (suitable, adapted, complementary) for him.
