The Fear of the LORD is to Hate Evil: Pride, and Arrogancy #shorts [video]

“But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7

IF we don’t have a heart after God today, all we have is dead religion, A MERE FORM OF GODLINESS (Acts 13:22; 2 Timothy 3:5).

Having a heart after God, a heart, a life that relentlessly seeks the LORD is a choice, today.

We are either choosing to be full of self or full of Christ. Here’s how we can be full of Christ:

“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” Matthew 5:6

By default, the person who is not fervently seeking Jesus today, is full of self, not the Savior (Matthew 5:6).

Your prayer life or lack thereof is a clear reading of what your life with Christ truly is, or is not.

Who are “THEY”?

IF you are seeking Him…

He’s filling you!

“Blessed are THEY which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for THEY shall be filled.” Matthew 5:6

As you are seeking the face of the LORD continually, He’s filling you to motor victoriously through every fear and every trial! Boom Jesus! Memorize the words of Jesus recorded in Matthew 5:6.

A great prayer right this moment is …. Heavenly Father, please grant me to have a pure heart, a poor in spirit heart, and an heart after Thee. In Jesus’ name, amen.

“We would see Jesus” is the cry of every Heaven-bound child of God (John 12:21).

When the LORD had examined all of Jesse’s son to see who should be king in Israel, He passed by the tall, strong, handsome, established men to get to beloved David. David is the only person in all the Bible called by God “a man after mine own heart.”

“And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.” Acts 13:22

The eyes of the Almighty are scanning the earth today, looking, searching for that one heart that pants after Him.

“For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.” 2 Chronicles 16:9

What do we learn from this verse?

The LORD is looking, scanning the earth
The LORD is looking for a heart perfect toward Him
The LORD is not looking for perfect performance. If He were He wouldn’t be looking at mankind at all. The present state of your heart is what’s important to Him (1 Samuel 16:7).

May it be said of us, of you beloved of God, that you have a heart that is perfect toward your God, one that pants for more of Him daily.

Notice this Scripture and how it says “heart” that is “perfect toward your God” and not performance. Wow! Selah. Meditate on that one. Your past performance means nothing to the LORD. What matters now, this moment, is whether or not you will turn your heart truly to Him, to cry out to Him.

The true servant of the LORD will always foster in you a love for Jesus, a desire to know Him more (John 17:3; Phlippians 3:10). His love for Jesus is contagious. He will never draw attention to himself but only point all to Christ crucified – as revealed in Holy Scripture!

Religious or bloodline pedigree is zilch in Christ’s kingdom (Matthew 20:20-28; 23:8-12). He aggrandizes the heart that follows hard after Him (Psalms 63:8). Who’d you rather spend a day with?

a seminarian graduate (they are a dime a dozen), or
a humble disciple with a heart after the LORD?

SATAN created the system where people feel like they’ve sought God because they attended Sunday morning church service. Not. So, they coast all week, backsliding more each day for lack of the presence of God filling their lives via daily seeking Him. By biblical definition, foolish virgins are those who were once saved, espoused to the Bridegroom of Heaven, and yet have since fallen away from intimacy with Him and will be shut out of His eternal bridal chamber if they don’t repent and return to Jesus as “first love.” (Matthew 25:1-13; Revelation 2:4-5)

Jesus promised that those of His people who die lukewarm will be spued from His holy mouth, rejected.

“I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:15-16

Those who pretend to serve God, those who read His Word and fellowship in prayer with Him only when they feel like it, when crisis hits, when it’s convenient to their own self-serving, self-worshiping, self-idolatrous life, are backslidden and hell bound. Repent now, lay down your life and obey God. The fires of eternal damnation are going to forever feed upon your helpless, conscious soul if you don’t repent and return to Jesus as the “first love” of your life (Revelation 2:4-5).

Personally, I am constantly aware of the danger of the danger of the dehydration of the body and therefore continue to militantly force water into my body hourly. In the same way, and much more importantly with eternal consequence, we must be disciplined followers of Christ, empowered by His truth, the warning, and the Holy Spirit to “pray without ceasing.” (1 Thessalonians 5:17) “Men ought ALWAYS to pray and not to faint.” (Luke 18:1) Those who don’t drink lots of fresh water will have physical problems and those who don’t drink from the well of the LORD in prayer without ceasing, will suffer defeat here and eternally (Matthew 26:41) | Pray without Ceasing

Talking to God in prayer is more important than our speaking to men about God (ministering). The greatest temptation we face is rejecting Christ, denying Him the “first love” place in our lives which includes time, our hearts, our lives in the temporal world (Revelation 2:4-5). Those who do not commune with the LORD in prayer, simply will not be imbued with His divine anointing to effectively, powerfully minister to others.

“Jesus never taught His disciples how to preach, only how to pray. To know how to speak to God is more than knowing how to speak to people. Power with God is the first thing, not power with people. Christ loves to teach us how to pray.” Andrew Murray, With Christ in the School of Prayer, p. xxiii-xxiv The disciples asked Jesus “Teach us to pray” and not “teach us to preach.”

Those not delighting in the LORD daily have self as their idol.

“Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” Psalms 37:4

Are you lukewarm, fallen away, or are you one “that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee (the LORD)“? (Isaiah 64:7)

Those not delighting in the LORD daily have self as their idol.

Beware of the Pitfalls

“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?” 1 Corinthians 13:5

Ultimately we shall all stand before the LORD to give account and yet, that’s not all the Bible says. Many isolate themselves from God’s people and His Word spoken through His people (Acts 2:42; Colossians 3:16). They hide in darkness with the attitude that “God will judge me so leave me alone” because they are not accountable to Christ and therefore want no self-examination or the help of the body of Christ. David said: “Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head.” (Psalms 141:5)

The Word of God carries the judgments of God in order that we might know Him and be prepared to meet Him (Psalm 119). The Judge of our eternal souls has spoken and thank God it’s an open book test we can pass if we truly repent, lay down our lives in this world, put our faith in Christ, and say with John the Baptist – “He must increase but I must decrease.” (John 3:30)

“Reproofs of instruction are the way of life.” Proverbs 6:23b

Life in Christ involves continual learning, a never ending classroom of divine instruction and correction, of learning to lay down our lives, to abandon ourselves to Christ – crucified with Him, dead and buried, and raised up by Him! (2 Corinthians 4:10-12)

We know when our lives are not practically dead and buried with Christ when the works of the flesh are raising their ugly head! (Galatians 5:16-24) So, we know then to get back to the cross, right? | The Crucified Life

“Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.” Hosea 4:11

SIN takes away the heart. In other words, the reason some aren’t full of holy conviction, fervent in spirit, full of the love and zeal of the LORD, is due to their own choice not to repent, be sanctified, and follow Jesus. Self and sin rule their lives, not Christ.

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:1-2

Greed is a soul damning sin. Read 1 Timothy 6:6-17.

SUCCESS is not money. No, it’s an abiding oneness, relationship with Jesus! Jn 15, 17

“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” Colossians 3:1-4

God promises that He will be found of us as and only if we seek Him.

“But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.” Deuteronomy 4:29

“Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 14 And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity…” Jeremiah 29:12-14

“If thou seek him, he will be found of thee.” 1 Chronicles 28:9

By Satanic Design

In the modern church building meetings, there seems to be little in the way of authentic worship, seemingly very little hunger for Christ (Matthew 5:6). False Christs are being preached by Satan’s wolves – exactly as Jesus and His apostles warned (Matthew 24).

All of our sin comes out of our hearts. The Hebrew word for “Heart” means the source. Think about that and realize that when we see faults and sins in our lives, we must run afresh to the feet of our LORD to cleanse, and to change our hearts (Psalms 51; 139:23-24). Listen to the Savior beloved:

“That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.” Mark 7:20-23

Life in Christ Key

This has worked powerfully for me for many years. Is it biblical? Yes, see the Bible verse below.

Each evening, set yourself to get up in the morning to seek the LORD in His Word, praise, thanksgiving, and prayer.

A nightly prayer to God and declaration to self could go something like…. “Dear Father, in Jesus’ name, if you choose to awake me in the morning, I shall seek Thee, I shall search, read, and study, Your Word and seek Your holy face by delighting in prayer communion, thanksgiving, and praise. I love You Jesus!“

Meditate upon the following verse of divine truth. Make it part of your life.

“Now SET your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God;” 1 Chronicles 22:19

Hebrew word for “set” – to apply, assign, cause, make, thrust, utter.

With this definition of the word “set” in mind, read the above verse of Scripture again.

“Pray without ceasing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Anyone not praying is not seeking God and has already fallen away (Luke 12:40).

Begin every day with Christ!

Jesus says that in order to have the things of God added to your life, to have God richly present in your personal life, you must put Him first:

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33

“First” in Matthew 6:33 means first priority. WHEN God truly is first in your life, it’s proven in that you arise each morning to seek His holy face, to commune with Him, to offer thanksgivings, to do His holy bidding, to be empowered and led by His Holy Word and Spirit (Psalms 5:3; 63:1; Mark 1:35).

“A sinning man stops praying. A praying man stops sinning.” – Leonard Ravenhill

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I want my life to glorify You, truly, authentically. Dear LORD there are so many inconsistencies in me that do not represent You that I now ask You to amend. Change me Jesus, please. Here and now afresh, I lay my life in Your holy hands. Please sanctify and anoint my life to be crucified with Christ, to be conformed to Your holy image dear LORD Jesus. I love You dear Maker, Master, and Savior of my soul, my life. Father, I ask these things in the name of Jesus Christ.

The Good Shepherd and His True Sheep [podcast]

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant …” Hebrews 13:20

“To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.” John 10:3

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.” John 10:27-29

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” 2 Timothy 3:1-13

“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?” Luke 9:23-25

“My Sheep Hear My Voice, and I Know them, and they Follow Me" [podcast]

There are 7 portraits of Jesus in the Gospel of John. One of those seven portraits is Jesus our “the good shepherd.” (John 10) The first thing the good shepherd of the sheep did was give His life to purchase the sheep with His own blood. “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” John 10:11 Jesus who created us, then came to die to buy up back to the Father and Himself. The Bible, God’s Word, is full of illustrations of who God is, and who He is to us. He is our […]

Jesus Christ is “that great shepherd of the sheep” (Hebrews 13:20). He instructed us to follow Him and, in doing so, to “FEED my sheep” (John 21:15-17). Tending to the sheep of Christ’s pasture involves nourishing […]

“He that Loveth Pureness of Heart” [podcast]

IS YOUR HEART PURE BEFORE THE ALMIGHTY BELOVED?

DO I truly love “pureness of heart”?

“HE THAT LOVETH PURENESS OF HEART, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.” Proverbs 22:11

Without a pure heart, obtained from seeking, worshiping, knowing, and obey God …. no one “shall see God.” Not one.

“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” Matthew 5:8

If you or I have every word of the Bible memorized and die today with a heart that is defiled with sin, we’d bust hell wide open – and be trapped there irrevocably forever.

TODAY is our day, it’s your day, to throw up those hands and that heart to the LORD who made you, and cry out to Him to grant you a pure heart, one that is innocent, clean, washed, delighting in Him.

“Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” Psalms 37:4

When the LORD is truly working in a man, that man is learning to love “pureness of heart.”

“He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.” Proverbs 22:11

Coming and continuing to come to the light is essential to final salvation.

“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” John 3:19-21

Choosing the Fear of the LORD

WE must surround ourselves with the Word, the people, the praises of our God! FLOOD your ear and eye gates beloved (Proverbs 4:23). Jesus is coming.

“But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” John 3:21

Coming clean: To be sanctified by Christ, one must repent and believe upon Him. As the LORD works in them, there will be the response of honesty, humble repentance and a coming to the light, continually. If not, judgment will be incurred (Isaiah 1:19-20).

“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13

Those who cover instead of bring their depraved hearts into the light to have them changed and cleansed by the LORD, “shall not prosper.” In other words, they are stifled. Those who remain humble, teachable, correctable, rebukeable, and obedient, will receive divine mercy perpetually.

“God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.” Psalms 55:19

Those who refuse to “choose the fear of the LORD” have no changes in their lives.

“For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:” Proverbs 1:29

Psalms 73

“Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. 24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. 25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. 26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. 27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.” Psalms 73:23-28

Drawing Nigh (close) to God Afresh

“But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” James 4:6-10

Fresh Start with God

You can Have a … Jesus is the Great Shepherd of His Sheep (Heb. 13:20; Lk. 15) A FRESH START WITH GOD (First, if you are not certain that you are genuinely born again, please go here first) Let’s get something straight…. the disciple, the mere man writing this message is more in need of JESUS than anyone who ever lived! No one needs Jesus more than I do and yet, we must do things HIS way, not our own (Ephesians 3:8). “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Proverbs […]

The Death before the Death [podcast]

Gethsemane Preceded Calvary

“And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. 43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. 44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.” Luke 22:42-44

“He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 3:30

“Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:10-12

“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?” Luke 9:23-25

Shall We Freshly Declare the Cross to be Front and Center in our Personal Lives?

Philippians 2:2-10 “Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but […]

Final resurrection into glory or damnation (John 5:28; 29; 1 Corinthians 15). Christ’s resurrection guarantees ours and that we need not fear death. Dancing on hell’s grace.
