(00:24):
one and twenty two. Our lessontoday is by Joey Fox from the Southside
Congregation in Babyville, Kentucky. He'sbringing us a wonderful lesson on fear,
and as Christians, we are notto fear the things of this world,
but we are to fear God,just as Solomon told us to fear God
(00:45):
and do his commandments, for thisis the whole duty of man. Once

(01:14):
play my dreaming, or is everythingto me? Like me and love like
(01:46):

(02:23):
I was so my say my camel, my lay my say in my and
(03:00):
while I do my glory, whosay sing glory since time my idea,
(03:32):
my love around and play by sayingmy sling my we give at us a
(04:01):
tuddle. He's simply a wo wordfear. You know the stories that we've
had over the last time, we'llget it. You could say that you
could have fear then something falling onyou or the let you're doing off and
you needed that the most peculiar comes. Those are types of fear. I
(04:26):
guess to some people. There's afear that me and my uncle have with
a certain thing that we really feara whole lot. And then my wife,
Tammy, she has a real fearof a little smaller thing that has
a spider a whole lot that everybodyhas a different kind of fear of something.
(04:47):
But in the Bible it talks specificallyabout fear quite a lot. I
looked up the word and in itsversion it's mentioned some time a hundred one
times, and these different topics,some twenty seven different topics on fear.
(05:08):
If you look the way I love. It may be different in some ways
that people look at it. It'smentioned that many comes, so it's a
very important subject. You know,you're looking at what fear means. Fear
in the Bible sense, it's alittle bit different. But what man says
fear is as an unpleasant emotion causedby the belief that someone or something is
(05:33):
dangerous, likely to cause pain,or a thread. It also says be
afraid of someone or something as likelyto be dangerous, pain, order,
threat. But then I looked upwhat does the Bible definition means? Says
(05:54):
When the Bible talks about fearing God, it is usually referring to an attitude
of reverence and respect, not outrightParris the man he grew in Greek words
translated fear in the Bible can haveseveral shades of men, but in the
(06:18):
context of the fear of the Lord, they can pay a positive reverence,
a positive reverence. We're to fearhim in such a way that will do
exactly what he asks us to do. That's what that means, is giving
him reverence, giving him respect forthe thing that he did for us.
(06:42):
You know, in the first Job, chapter four verse the ten says there
is no fear in love, butperfect love has them out fear, because
fear hath torn He that fearth isnot made perfect in love. So if
we fear to the point that wewon't do anything, we're just stuck in
(07:05):
that way, we're casting out thelove of God provided for us. God
provided a way for us that wewould awake Him, and that fear is
just being obedience obedience. But thenI look at the fear of the Lord,
(07:26):
and we're going to spend quite alot of time and Proverbs to today
this morning, because he speaks expresslyabout the fear of the Lord, and
Proverbs chaper of one of our sevenand says, fear the Lord. The
fear of the Lord is the beginningof knowledge. But foot despise wisdom and
(07:47):
instruction. They do. If wefear the Lord, we'll have his knowledge.
We'll look into his word, andwhen the term of want we need
to do, save to us all. And then if you go on.
In Proverbs chapter three and verse sixand seven, it says, in all
thy ways acknowledge him, and heshall direct thy past. Be not wise
(08:11):
and not own eyes. Fear theLord and depart from me I can't be
wise in my own eyes. Imean him to direct me, because the
way that I would go is notthe way that he would have to be
go. In Proverbs chapter nine andverse nine and ten, it says,
give instruction to a wise man,and he will be yet wiser. He
(08:37):
to just man, and he willincrease in learning. The fear of the
Lord is the beginning of wisdom,and the knowledge of the Holy is understanding.
You know, the proverbs are veryunique if you read a lot of
(09:00):
them, They're very unique in howthey lay out, but they make sense
if you give them, give yourmind to them, and give your understanding
to them. They're exactly what weneed sometimes is those proverbs to tell us
what what we've been missing, whatwe've been lacking. And Proverbs chapter ten
(09:20):
of verse twenty seven says, thefear of the Lord prolonged the days,
but the years of the wicked shallbe short. Look from all our days
if we'll do what the Lord asksus to do. Well, you look
here in this congregation. There's manythat are up in years, but guess
what they live the long and happylife for the most part, or not
(09:41):
without purse. You were not withouttroubles, but they have lived of all
and happy life, prosperous life inthe Lord. They're doing the things that
the Lord would have them to do. And Problems of chapter sixteen and verse
six that says, by mercy thetruth and equity is purged, and by
(10:03):
the fear of the Lord meant departfrom me. And then Proverbs chapter twenty
nine and verse twenty five, itsays, the fear of man brandpa snag.
But whosoever put it dis trust inthe Lord shall be saved. We
will, We'll be safe. Iwill put our trust in the Lord.
(10:24):
You know, I was thinking aboutthis when I was reading it. We
I went out this week to Mexico, and I flew on one plane to
Dallas, and then I got onanother plan and I went to Moderate Mexico.
And when we were flew into Moderayand its alved, the plans whipping
(10:48):
back and forth. But I didn'teven know that it had been raging or
anything. And when we got offand the next day we met with some
folks that had flew in the daybefore like we did. They said that
his awfuls to him and said wehad to turn around and go back to
another city and land and then comeback, fill up and come back because
they're just a bad well. Inever know nothing about it. Notice,
(11:09):
let let it be. You know, we're safe in the Lord. As
long as we trust in him,whatever happens is going to happen. That's
another thing about that kind of friel. You know, there was so many
talk about how scary it is tobe in Mexico right now. But you
know I went and never had abit of trouble. I just do my
(11:33):
thing and go home. Put mytrust in the Lord, put our trust
in the Lord, Fear him,and do what he asked us to do.
And then Proverbs chapter thirty one ofverse thirty, it says, favor
is, favor is deceitful, andbeauty is a bank. But a woman
and farith the Lord shall she shallbe praised. I thought about that.
(11:58):
You know, many men to puta lot of stock, and how they
look and feeing all beautified and allthat kind of stuff. But he says,
put our trust, put our trustin the Lord, and we'll find
praise of him. Fear the Lord, and she shall be praised. I
(12:20):
thought about that a lot, becausebeauty is vain. Sometimes people the way
we look. You know, Iget up for the morning and I will
worse my hair that you can throwthe marror and our look and well,
I think it looks all right.And then I'll be figured around a little
bit more and maybe it will bebetter. I don't know. Most people
don't look at me very much,but anyway, and then you put our
(12:41):
trust through the Lord and fear him. Some other things that we'll talk about.
In the Fear of the Lord issardist checking what'll weaven? And verse
ken it says, fear the Lord. The fear of the Lord is the
beginning of wisdom and understanding. Havea day that his commandments, his praise,
(13:07):
and new earth forever. You know, if we have an understanding,
we'll have a good understanding of hiscommandments. If we put our nose in
the book. That's the thing we'vegot to study, you know, the
Secondtivity two in verse good King says, study to show myself approved unto God
or work from that mean not tobe ashamed of rightly divide. We're true,
(13:31):
we have to rightly divide. Wehave to put our nose in the
book and get that understanding, andthen we'll know whether we're bearing the Lord
in the way that we should.In Psalms Chapter one, twelve and verse
one, it says, the fearof the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
calling thing right a good understanding,have all they I've copied it over
(13:54):
again. I'm sorry, so letme skip over with our two. We'll
find it. I've copied twice soSongs one twelve and verse one, it
says, craise ye the Lord.Blessed is the name that fareth the Lord
(14:16):
that delight delighteth greatly in his commandments. You know, blessed is the man
that fareth the Lord. We're goingto be blessed if we'll fear him.
Then Songs Worth fifteen Universe eleven,it says, ye that fear the Lord,
trust in the Lord. He istheir health and their shield. He's
(14:39):
our shield if we're letting thee Andthen in Psalngs One eighteen and verse six,
he says, the Lord is onmy side, our little I fear
what man can do under me.I shouldn't fear what man can do to
me. I should fear of whathe can do to me, because in
(15:00):
after a while we're going to bejudged according to whether we've done what he
has to do or not. AndI want to be on his side,
not on the other. I don'tknow about you, but I'm going to
be on the Lord's side. Andthen in Psalms one twenty eight, in
verse one, it says, unlessit is everyone that fear of v Word,
(15:20):
that walking in his ways, youknow we've got to fear him.
But then on the flip side ofall that, you know, there's a
fear of man, where a lotof times I think the church itself is
afraid of what man can do otherthan us. And sometimes we've put our
(15:43):
trust in the man. You know, I'm up here preaching, but it's
up to you all to make surethat I'm preaching what is worthy to be
preached. You know, the wordsof the Gospel have to be preach each
the oracles of God, and nothingmore, nothing less. And Second Caribbean's
(16:06):
chapter or Lateran in verse three,it says, but I fear lest by
any means, as the circle ofthe God eve through his subtility, So
your minds should be corrupted from thesimplicity that is in Christ. You know
that rother in itself is a thingpeople take the simplicity, that is in
(16:30):
Christ, that simplicity. It's easyto be understood, easy to be done.
If we're a woman, do it. But they are corrupted from the
simplicity. But what man has tosay those that preach and teach things other
than what God were happening to do. And then the Hebrews Chapter ten,
(16:51):
verse twenty six through thirty one,it says, for if we send wilfully
after that we have received the knowledgeof the truth, there lead normal sacrifice
for sins, but a certain fearfullooking for of judgment and firing indignation,
which shall devour adversaries. He thatdespise Moses of all died without mercy under
(17:17):
true three witnesses of how much sorepunishment suppose ye shall he be thought worthy?
Who hath promund the son of God, and have counted the blood of
the Covenant, wherewith he was sanctifiedand unholy thing. Hath done the spot
into the spirit of Christ. Forwe know him that hath said, ben
(17:40):
just belong underneed. I will recommendsave the Lord, and again the Lord
shall judge his people. It isa fearful thing to fall into the hands
of the living God. It's fearfulto fall into the hands of the living
God. You know, he couldbecome a polis when we're unaware and not
looking. That's a dangerous thing.That's why we talked about if I've to
(18:03):
study this morning, being prepared.The virgins that were prepared, they trend
their lamps, and when the bridegroomcame, they were ready to go in.
He need to be ready at all, tising in that study this morning.
He said, watch when you knowthat I've when the Lord shall come.
(18:23):
Watch. In the chapter Thirteenniverse Vilences, it says, let your conversation
be without comortlessness, and be contentwith such things as you have. For
if he has said, I willnever leave thee or for safe you,
(18:44):
so that we may bodly say,the Lord is my helper, and I
will not fear to what men shalldo it in me. I want to
not fear of what man shall todo it to me. You know,
if you think about the Jewish nation, the Holocaust and the books that have
been written on that destruction, theywere afraid of the ruler of Germany.
(19:08):
They were afraid of and they thoughtthat they were right, and they suffered
persecution because they thought that they wereright. But my fear is they were
wrong. They were still living anoderthe Old Covenant. They still thought about
the Old Covenant to today. Butwe're in the New Testamy, We're in
(19:33):
the Gospel. The Kingdom has come, and yet millions and millions were destroyed
over that that fear. You knowsome other things about men's fear, and
Matthew fear of men, says Matthew, Chapter Cannivers twenty six through twenty one.
(19:57):
Fear them not there forward, forthere is doublet covered that shall not
be revealed, and head that shallnot be known. What I tell ye,
and darkness that speak ye in thelight, and while ye hear in
the ear that preached ye upon thehousetop. And fear not them which kill
(20:18):
the body, but are not ableto kill the soul. But read their
fear, can which is able todestroy boish destroy both soul and body in
heale. Are not too spread asoul for a farling, and one of
them shall not fall on ground.Now, your father, but the very
(20:41):
hairs of your hash are all numbered. Fearing ye not. Therefore ye are
a more value than many spirits,worth more than the whole world. Our
soul is worth more than the wholeworld. But yet he can destroy us
(21:02):
in that length of fire, inthe actual while if we're ann faithful unto
him. In verse Peter, chapterthree and verse fourteen and fifteen and says,
but an an ye suffer for risesthe state, happy are ye,
and be not afraid of their terror. Neither be troubled, but sanctify the
(21:23):
Lord God in your hearts, andbe ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh you a reasonof the whole that is in you with
manyness and fear. We better beprepared to answer to those that would ask
us. And you know, Imay not know everything, and I sure
do know everything that's written. Butin this book book, chapter and verse,
(21:48):
like some men can quote, Ido know a few that I can
quote here and there without happy tomove him up. But that's why it's
here. We're here to look itup. We can look it up and
teach using the verses. But alsoyou know, they make no time when
we don't have it. Do wehave enough knowledge that we can save ourselves?
(22:11):
And others that would asked us thinkabout that? We should fear that
that we're not able to save ourselvesmuch less anybody else. But fear of
man. Don't fear what man mightdo in this then asks chapter ten,
the verse thirty four and thirty five. Then Peter opened in mouth and said,
(22:33):
of the truth, I perceive thatGod is an own respecter of persons.
But in a nation he that fearwith him, the work of processes
is accepted with him everywhere. Youknow, you can take this God Poe.
You can go to Mexico, youcan go to Japan, and you
go anywhere. And as long asyou have it and have those that will
(22:56):
will listen to it, it's acceptedwith God because we're the worship him in
spirit of the truth. When I'llworshiping man, we're worshiping God in spirit
and truth. That's why we're heretoday to observe His body and his blood
and do the things that us isto do on this day. But we're
(23:17):
to do it all through the week, you know, studying and exhorting others
that come and taught and become incontact with. And we're gonna speak another
one but here in just a minutetoo. And then it says in Songs
chapter twenty three and verse four,it says, yea going walk through the
valley of the shadow of death.I will fear no evil, for thou
(23:40):
art with me. I rod inmy staff. They comfort me. He's
with us, you know, daysthat little I think I would remember that
little picture in in somewhere at ightsoon in his house. It was the
footsteps in the sand. They wasjust footsteps, and they just want to
said of them. That's how it'ssupposed to be. We're supposed to be
(24:03):
following in the footsteps of the Lord. They're supposed to be two sets.
But in man's eyes, they followJesus, for just nobody with the A
few footsteps goes off over here,and then there's a few feet steps that
goes off on other directions. Theyget off. But guess what, they're
not going to make it in hisfootsteps if they're not careful but fearing no
(24:26):
evil. And then it says inRomost chapter three, verse eighteen, there
is no fear of God before theireyes. That's what's wrong with fandom day.
There's no fear of God before theireyes. They think that they're going
to do all their needness, alltheir lives, and then after a while
they will be okay, that they'lljust accepting. You know, there's a
(24:52):
lot of people that think that ifyou come right now, that they'd have
plenty of time to say Lord forhim. That's I don't think that's right.
I don't think that's correct, becausewhen he comes, it says that
will be changed in the moment,in the twenty months of the nine whatever,
I have time to think about,whether we've done good or whether we've
(25:14):
done bad. We better be prepared. We've better be renting. And our
fear better be the fear of himcoming and not being prepared, so that
we do prepared the way he wouldhave Paris to do. And I thought
about taking a word and looking atsome things that we might divide it into
(25:34):
fear, looking at our fellowship,how a fellowship for him with the others.
In First Printhian's Cup for one ofverse nine and ten, it says
God is faithful by whom you werecalled unto the fellowship of His son Jesus
Christ, our Lord. Now Iwillseech you, brethren, by the name
(25:57):
of our Lord Jesus christy that youall speak the same thing, and that
there be no divisions among you,but that you be perfectly joined together in
the same mind and in the samejog. Now, that's how we're supposed
to be when we fellowship with womenthe other, having the fear of Him,
(26:19):
and being perfectly joined together of thesame amount and of the same journe.
But we're all looking for the samething, right, We're all looking
to go to heaven in that aftera while. And there's only one way,
one way to heaven. In SecondCorinthians, chapter six, in verse
fourteen, and says, be notbe not unequally jumped together with unbelieving whom
(26:47):
what fellowship have rightness with unbrushsness,And we're watching me. You have light
with darkness. You gotta be carefulwho were guilt up to that you don't
get caught up in because the thingsthat they would happits to do instead of
what God would happits to do.And He wants us to do righteousness,
not unrighteousness. In First John chapterone, verse three through seven, it
(27:11):
says that which we have seen andheard, declare me unto you, that
ye also may have fellowship with us. And truly our fellowship is with the
Father and with his son Jesus Christ. And these things right me under you,
(27:32):
that your joy may be full.This then, is the message which
we have heard of him, anddeclare unto you that God is life and
in him in nor dardness at all. If you say that we have,
If we say that we have fellowshipwith Him, or walk in darkness,
(27:52):
we lie and do not the truth. But if we walk in the life
as He is in the life,we have fellowship one with you, and
the blood of Jesus Christ cleansed usfrom all sins. We better be walking
in the lot, friends, becauseGod is the lot. We don't you
know. We was listening to ussongs coming up. It says when I
(28:15):
get where I'm going, don't cryfor me down here. But it says
they'll only be happy here. That'swrong. It says there will be no
cheers. And God is the lotthat will shine by. They don't eat
of the sun or the moon.He's the lot. We're going to be
in his presence forever and forever themoment that if you don't want that down
(28:38):
here, you sure don't want itwhen you get to the other side.
We want it that I want it. I don't know about you. I
don't want to be in the presenceof the Lord and be happy for every
moment. That's what we should belooking for, that kind of fellowship.
And Ephesians chapter five, the verseleaving it says, and have no fellowship
(28:59):
with unfruitful works of darkness, butrather reprove them. That's what we're here
today for the own fruitful works ofdarkness. We're trying to reprove it.
If you have those things in yourlife that are not what they ought to
be, get out of that situation, you ain't tell a good situation in
the life. He says, don'thave fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
(29:23):
but rather reproval them, get afterthem, trying to wife the ons
play. Yes, the next thingis

You know, I was thinking aboutthis when I was reading it. We
I went out this week to Mexico, and I flew on one plane to

And when we were flew into Moderayand its alved, the plans whipping

back and forth. But I didn'teven know that it had been raging or
anything. And when we got offand the next day we met with some
folks that had flew in the daybefore like we did. They said that
his awfuls to him and said wehad to turn around and go back to
another city and land and then comeback, fill up and come back because
they're just a bad well. Inever know nothing about it. Notice,
(11:09):
let let it be. You know, we're safe in the Lord. As
long as we trust in him,whatever happens is going to happen. That's
another thing about that kind of friel. You know, there was so many
talk about how scary it is tobe in Mexico right now. But you
know I went and never had abit of trouble. I just do my
(11:33):
thing and go home. Put mytrust in the Lord, put our trust
in the Lord, Fear him,and do what he asked us to do.
And then Proverbs chapter thirty one ofverse thirty, it says, favor
is, favor is deceitful, andbeauty is a bank. But a woman
and farith the Lord shall she shallbe praised. I thought about that.
(11:58):
You know, many men to puta lot of stock, and how they
look and feeing all beautified and allthat kind of stuff. But he says,
put our trust, put our trustin the Lord, and we'll find
praise of him. Fear the Lord, and she shall be praised. I
(12:20):
thought about that a lot, becausebeauty is vain. Sometimes people the way
we look. You know, Iget up for the morning and I will
worse my hair that you can throwthe marror and our look and well,
I think it looks all right.And then I'll be figured around a little
bit more and maybe it will bebetter. I don't know. Most people
don't look at me very much,but anyway, and then you put our
(12:41):
trust through the Lord and fear him. Some other things that we'll talk about.
In the Fear of the Lord issardist checking what'll weaven? And verse
ken it says, fear the Lord. The fear of the Lord is the
beginning of wisdom and understanding. Havea day that his commandments, his praise,
(13:07):
and new earth forever. You know, if we have an understanding,
we'll have a good understanding of hiscommandments. If we put our nose in
the book. That's the thing we'vegot to study, you know, the
Secondtivity two in verse good King says, study to show myself approved unto God
or work from that mean not tobe ashamed of rightly divide. We're true,
(13:31):
we have to rightly divide. Wehave to put our nose in the
book and get that understanding, andthen we'll know whether we're bearing the Lord
in the way that we should.In Psalms Chapter one, twelve and verse
one, it says, the fearof the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
calling thing right a good understanding,have all they I've copied it over
(13:54):
again. I'm sorry, so letme skip over with our two. We'll
find it. I've copied twice soSongs one twelve and verse one, it
says, craise ye the Lord.Blessed is the name that fareth the Lord
(14:16):
that delight delighteth greatly in his commandments. You know, blessed is the man
that fareth the Lord. We're goingto be blessed if we'll fear him.
Then Songs Worth fifteen Universe eleven,it says, ye that fear the Lord,
trust in the Lord. He istheir health and their shield. He's
(14:39):
our shield if we're letting thee Andthen in Psalngs One eighteen and verse six,
he says, the Lord is onmy side, our little I fear
what man can do under me.I shouldn't fear what man can do to
me. I should fear of whathe can do to me, because in
(15:00):
after a while we're going to bejudged according to whether we've done what he
has to do or not. AndI want to be on his side,
not on the other. I don'tknow about you, but I'm going to
be on the Lord's side. Andthen in Psalms one twenty eight, in
verse one, it says, unlessit is everyone that fear of v Word,
(15:20):
that walking in his ways, youknow we've got to fear him.
But then on the flip side ofall that, you know, there's a
fear of man, where a lotof times I think the church itself is
afraid of what man can do otherthan us. And sometimes we've put our
(15:43):
trust in the man. You know, I'm up here preaching, but it's
up to you all to make surethat I'm preaching what is worthy to be
preached. You know, the wordsof the Gospel have to be preach each
the oracles of God, and nothingmore, nothing less. And Second Caribbean's
(16:06):
chapter or Lateran in verse three,it says, but I fear lest by
any means, as the circle ofthe God eve through his subtility, So
your minds should be corrupted from thesimplicity that is in Christ. You know
that rother in itself is a thingpeople take the simplicity, that is in
(16:30):
Christ, that simplicity. It's easyto be understood, easy to be done.
If we're a woman, do it. But they are corrupted from the
simplicity. But what man has tosay those that preach and teach things other
than what God were happening to do. And then the Hebrews Chapter ten,
(16:51):
verse twenty six through thirty one,it says, for if we send wilfully
after that we have received the knowledgeof the truth, there lead normal sacrifice
for sins, but a certain fearfullooking for of judgment and firing indignation,
which shall devour adversaries. He thatdespise Moses of all died without mercy under
(17:17):
true three witnesses of how much sorepunishment suppose ye shall he be thought worthy?
Who hath promund the son of God, and have counted the blood of
the Covenant, wherewith he was sanctifiedand unholy thing. Hath done the spot
into the spirit of Christ. Forwe know him that hath said, ben
(17:40):
just belong underneed. I will recommendsave the Lord, and again the Lord
shall judge his people. It isa fearful thing to fall into the hands
of the living God. It's fearfulto fall into the hands of the living
God. You know, he couldbecome a polis when we're unaware and not
looking. That's a dangerous thing.That's why we talked about if I've to
(18:03):
study this morning, being prepared.The virgins that were prepared, they trend
their lamps, and when the bridegroomcame, they were ready to go in.
He need to be ready at all, tising in that study this morning.
He said, watch when you knowthat I've when the Lord shall come.
(18:23):
Watch. In the chapter Thirteenniverse Vilences, it says, let your conversation
be without comortlessness, and be contentwith such things as you have. For
if he has said, I willnever leave thee or for safe you,
(18:44):
so that we may bodly say,the Lord is my helper, and I
will not fear to what men shalldo it in me. I want to
not fear of what man shall todo it to me. You know,
if you think about the Jewish nation, the Holocaust and the books that have
been written on that destruction, theywere afraid of the ruler of Germany.
(19:08):
They were afraid of and they thoughtthat they were right, and they suffered
persecution because they thought that they wereright. But my fear is they were
wrong. They were still living anoderthe Old Covenant. They still thought about
the Old Covenant to today. Butwe're in the New Testamy, We're in
(19:33):
the Gospel. The Kingdom has come, and yet millions and millions were destroyed
over that that fear. You knowsome other things about men's fear, and
Matthew fear of men, says Matthew, Chapter Cannivers twenty six through twenty one.
(19:57):
Fear them not there forward, forthere is doublet covered that shall not
be revealed, and head that shallnot be known. What I tell ye,
and darkness that speak ye in thelight, and while ye hear in
the ear that preached ye upon thehousetop. And fear not them which kill
(20:18):
the body, but are not ableto kill the soul. But read their
fear, can which is able todestroy boish destroy both soul and body in
heale. Are not too spread asoul for a farling, and one of
them shall not fall on ground.Now, your father, but the very
(20:41):
hairs of your hash are all numbered. Fearing ye not. Therefore ye are
a more value than many spirits,worth more than the whole world. Our
soul is worth more than the wholeworld. But yet he can destroy us
(21:02):
in that length of fire, inthe actual while if we're ann faithful unto
him. In verse Peter, chapterthree and verse fourteen and fifteen and says,
but an an ye suffer for risesthe state, happy are ye,
and be not afraid of their terror. Neither be troubled, but sanctify the
(21:23):
Lord God in your hearts, andbe ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh you a reasonof the whole that is in you with
manyness and fear. We better beprepared to answer to those that would ask
us. And you know, Imay not know everything, and I sure
do know everything that's written. Butin this book book, chapter and verse,
(21:48):
like some men can quote, Ido know a few that I can
quote here and there without happy tomove him up. But that's why it's
here. We're here to look itup. We can look it up and
teach using the verses. But alsoyou know, they make no time when
we don't have it. Do wehave enough knowledge that we can save ourselves?
(22:11):
And others that would asked us thinkabout that? We should fear that
that we're not able to save ourselvesmuch less anybody else. But fear of
man. Don't fear what man mightdo in this then asks chapter ten,
the verse thirty four and thirty five. Then Peter opened in mouth and said,
(22:33):
of the truth, I perceive thatGod is an own respecter of persons.
But in a nation he that fearwith him, the work of processes
is accepted with him everywhere. Youknow, you can take this God Poe.
You can go to Mexico, youcan go to Japan, and you
go anywhere. And as long asyou have it and have those that will
(22:56):
will listen to it, it's acceptedwith God because we're the worship him in
spirit of the truth. When I'llworshiping man, we're worshiping God in spirit
and truth. That's why we're heretoday to observe His body and his blood
and do the things that us isto do on this day. But we're
(23:17):
to do it all through the week, you know, studying and exhorting others
that come and taught and become incontact with. And we're gonna speak another
one but here in just a minutetoo. And then it says in Songs
chapter twenty three and verse four,it says, yea going walk through the
valley of the shadow of death.I will fear no evil, for thou
(23:40):
art with me. I rod inmy staff. They comfort me. He's
with us, you know, daysthat little I think I would remember that
little picture in in somewhere at ightsoon in his house. It was the
footsteps in the sand. They wasjust footsteps, and they just want to
said of them. That's how it'ssupposed to be. We're supposed to be
(24:03):
following in the footsteps of the Lord. They're supposed to be two sets.
But in man's eyes, they followJesus, for just nobody with the A
few footsteps goes off over here,and then there's a few feet steps that
goes off on other directions. Theyget off. But guess what, they're
not going to make it in hisfootsteps if they're not careful but fearing no
(24:26):
evil. And then it says inRomost chapter three, verse eighteen, there
is no fear of God before theireyes. That's what's wrong with fandom day.
There's no fear of God before theireyes. They think that they're going
to do all their needness, alltheir lives, and then after a while
they will be okay, that they'lljust accepting. You know, there's a
(24:52):
lot of people that think that ifyou come right now, that they'd have
plenty of time to say Lord forhim. That's I don't think that's right.
I don't think that's correct, becausewhen he comes, it says that
will be changed in the moment,in the twenty months of the nine whatever,
I have time to think about,whether we've done good or whether we've
(25:14):
done bad. We better be prepared. We've better be renting. And our
fear better be the fear of himcoming and not being prepared, so that
we do prepared the way he wouldhave Paris to do. And I thought
about taking a word and looking atsome things that we might divide it into
(25:34):
fear, looking at our fellowship,how a fellowship for him with the others.
In First Printhian's Cup for one ofverse nine and ten, it says
God is faithful by whom you werecalled unto the fellowship of His son Jesus
Christ, our Lord. Now Iwillseech you, brethren, by the name
(25:57):
of our Lord Jesus christy that youall speak the same thing, and that
there be no divisions among you,but that you be perfectly joined together in
the same mind and in the samejog. Now, that's how we're supposed
to be when we fellowship with womenthe other, having the fear of Him,
(26:19):
and being perfectly joined together of thesame amount and of the same journe.
But we're all looking for the samething, right, We're all looking
to go to heaven in that aftera while. And there's only one way,
one way to heaven. In SecondCorinthians, chapter six, in verse
fourteen, and says, be notbe not unequally jumped together with unbelieving whom
(26:47):
what fellowship have rightness with unbrushsness,And we're watching me. You have light
with darkness. You gotta be carefulwho were guilt up to that you don't
get caught up in because the thingsthat they would happits to do instead of
what God would happits to do.And He wants us to do righteousness,
not unrighteousness. In First John chapterone, verse three through seven, it
(27:11):
says that which we have seen andheard, declare me unto you, that
ye also may have fellowship with us. And truly our fellowship is with the
Father and with his son Jesus Christ. And these things right me under you,
(27:32):
that your joy may be full.This then, is the message which
we have heard of him, anddeclare unto you that God is life and
in him in nor dardness at all. If you say that we have,
If we say that we have fellowshipwith Him, or walk in darkness,
(27:52):
we lie and do not the truth. But if we walk in the life
as He is in the life,we have fellowship one with you, and
the blood of Jesus Christ cleansed usfrom all sins. We better be walking
in the lot, friends, becauseGod is the lot. We don't you
know. We was listening to ussongs coming up. It says when I
(28:15):
get where I'm going, don't cryfor me down here. But it says
they'll only be happy here. That'swrong. It says there will be no
cheers. And God is the lotthat will shine by. They don't eat
of the sun or the moon.He's the lot. We're going to be
in his presence forever and forever themoment that if you don't want that down
(28:38):
here, you sure don't want itwhen you get to the other side.
We want it that I want it. I don't know about you. I
don't want to be in the presenceof the Lord and be happy for every
moment. That's what we should belooking for, that kind of fellowship.
And Ephesians chapter five, the verseleaving it says, and have no fellowship
(28:59):
with unfruitful works of darkness, butrather reprove them. That's what we're here
today for the own fruitful works ofdarkness. We're trying to reprove it.
If you have those things in yourlife that are not what they ought to
be, get out of that situation, you ain't tell a good situation in
the life. He says, don'thave fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
(29:23):
but rather reproval them, get afterthem, trying to wife the ons
play. Yes, the next thingis
