\nAnd I’m Brian.
\nThank you for joining us this <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:19,400 –> 00:00:23,000

5
\n00:00:23,000 –> 00:00:26,200
\nhelp us get the Bible in our
\nDaily News feed. <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:26,480 –> 00:00:28,440
\nWe post a new episode at the
\nstart of each week. <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:28,880 –> 00:00:31,480
\nWith a short intro beforehand to
\nkind of set the stage for the <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:31,480 –> 00:00:35,400
\ntalk you’re about to listen to.
\nAnd now, let’s talk more about <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:35,400 –> 00:00:51,240
\nthis week’s talk.
\nThis week’s talk is a lecture by<\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:51,240 –> 00:00:53,480
\nbrother Tim Galbraith from
\nHyderabad, India. <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:54,280 –> 00:00:59,850
\nHe presented this talk in 2001
\nat the Los Angeles Ecclesia here<\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:59,850 –> 00:01:02,450
\nin LA.
\nThis is a midweek class and it’s<\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:02,610 –> 00:01:05,970
\nthe first class in a series of
\nmidweek classes that he gave <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:05,970 –> 00:01:08,650
\nleading up to A to a study
\nweekend back then. <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:09,450 –> 00:01:13,850
\nThe title is with Moses in Horeb
\nbecause as he kind of touches on<\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:13,850 –> 00:01:19,050
\nright at the beginning, this is
\none example of of an interaction<\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:19,250 –> 00:01:21,930
\non the mountain, and this is the
\nfirst one. <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:21,930 –> 00:01:26,550
\nAnd he kind of makes the point
\nthat Moses and horrib is he he <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:26,550 –> 00:01:30,790
\nhe uses this as a as a jumping
\npad to a discussion on the fear <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:30,790 –> 00:01:32,630
\nof the Lord.
\nSo it’s pretty funny. <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:32,790 –> 00:01:35,790
\nI’m putting this title here on
\nthe podcast because he barely <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:35,790 –> 00:01:39,430
\ntalks about Moses at horrib.
\nIt’s really a a really amazing <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:39,430 –> 00:01:42,550
\nstudy on the concept of the fear
\nof the Lord and how the fear of <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:42,550 –> 00:01:43,710
\nthe Lord is the beginning of
\nknowledge. <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:44,070 –> 00:01:47,110
\nAnd then he broadens that really
\nover the whole scripture. <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:47,110 –> 00:01:51,470
\nAnd this is something I’ve known
\nfrom hearing Brother Tim in <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:51,470 –> 00:01:54,000
\nperson.
\nJess and I were in India many <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:54,000 –> 00:01:56,440
\nyears ago and then I’ve heard
\nhim when he’s been here in the <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:56,440 –> 00:02:00,640
\nStates other times.
\nHe is one of the best we have at<\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:02,240 –> 00:02:05,120
\njust a comprehension of of the
\ntotal message of scripture and <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:05,120 –> 00:02:06,880
\nyou’re going to hear it in this
\nclass. <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:06,880 –> 00:02:13,080
\nIt really is a broad study.
\nHe goes all over the place to <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:13,080 –> 00:02:16,160
\nexpand this concept of how the
\nfear of the Lord is the <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:16,160 –> 00:02:20,080
\nbeginning but it is still
\nnecessary and that that I think <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:20,540 –> 00:02:23,820
\nmight be my favorite part.
\nMiddle of the second-half at <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:23,820 –> 00:02:27,300
\nsome point he talks about how he
\nstill needs to remember to have <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:27,300 –> 00:02:29,380
\nthe fear of the Lord for even
\nhis thoughts. <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:30,580 –> 00:02:33,620
\nThis is a really excellent
\nclass, really fun to listen to. <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:34,180 –> 00:02:35,580
\nI’m thankful to have this
\nrecording. <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:36,060 –> 00:02:40,060
\nBrother Chris, one of the Co
\nhosts here, has taken on a task <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:40,060 –> 00:02:42,300
\nof converting a lot of old
\ntapes. <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:42,580 –> 00:02:45,940
\nWe’ve been sent tapes and been
\nput in touch with those who have<\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:46,380 –> 00:02:49,270
\na tape library.
\nSo this is a class that’s online<\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:49,270 –> 00:02:53,790
\nnow on good on Chris Lefkin,
\nbibletalks.com but recently <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:54,030 –> 00:02:56,510
\nconverted from the tape that it
\nwas in 2001. <\/p>\n

46
\n00:02:56,510 –> 00:02:58,270
\nSo thank you Chris for doing
\nthat work. <\/p>\n

47
\n00:02:58,270 –> 00:03:01,630
\nIt’s been really fun to listen
\nto some of these talks that we <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:01,630 –> 00:03:04,390
\ndon’t have as of yet on any of
\nour Internet sites. <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:04,830 –> 00:03:06,870
\nSo very thankful to share this
\none. <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:07,150 –> 00:03:10,910
\nThis is really again a study on
\nthe beginning, the fear of the <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:10,910 –> 00:03:15,030
\nLord’s beginning of knowledge.
\nBut here is Moses that Horeb by <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:15,030 –> 00:03:18,350
\nbrother Tim Galbraith.
\nThanks, Brother Mark and good <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:18,350 –> 00:03:20,830
\nevening.
\nIt’s lovely to be back after <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:20,830 –> 00:03:25,830
\nfour years since I had the
\nprivilege of being with you in <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:25,830 –> 00:03:32,270
\nthis ecclesia.
\nWe wanted this week to look at <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:32,270 –> 00:03:38,870
\nthe question of our spiritual
\ngrowth, of getting closer to God<\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:39,510 –> 00:03:41,590
\nas we go through our spiritual
\nwalk. <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:43,150 –> 00:03:48,260
\nAnd of course there are steps.
\nThat need to be taken if we are <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:48,260 –> 00:03:53,820
\ngoing to feel in our lives and
\ngenuinely be closer to our God. <\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:55,260 –> 00:03:58,060
\nAnd I thought it would be
\nprofitable to go through this <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:58,060 –> 00:04:02,980
\nweek looking at out of the many
\nmountain experiences which the <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:02,980 –> 00:04:09,260
\nBible talks about, looking just
\nat 4 incidents, 4 situations <\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:09,260 –> 00:04:15,100
\nthat seem to epitomize our
\ngrowth as we draw closer to God.<\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:15,840 –> 00:04:20,399
\nAnd as Mark told us, those four
\nexperiences are first of all, <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:20,399 –> 00:04:26,320
\nthis experience on Mount Horeb,
\nthe experience with Elijah on <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:26,320 –> 00:04:31,440
\nMount Carmel, the experience of
\nour Savior on Calvary, and the <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:31,440 –> 00:04:34,680
\nprospective experience of being
\nwith redeemed on Zion. <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:36,320 –> 00:04:42,640
\nNow obviously, when we read this
\nscene in Chapter 19, there’s <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:42,840 –> 00:04:45,480
\nsomething that really comes to
\nthe fore. <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:46,730 –> 00:04:54,650
\nAnd that is that there is a very
\nfrightening experience for the <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:54,650 –> 00:04:59,570
\npeople.
\nWe are told in verse 16 that in <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:59,570 –> 00:05:02,450
\nthe third day in the morning
\nthere were thunders, lightnings,<\/p>\n

73
\n00:05:02,730 –> 00:05:05,650
\na thick cloud upon the mount,
\nthe voice of the trumpet <\/p>\n

74
\n00:05:05,650 –> 00:05:10,210
\nexceeding loud, so that all the
\npeople that were in the camp <\/p>\n

75
\n00:05:10,690 –> 00:05:20,410
\ntrembled now for some reason.
\nGod chose to scare his people in<\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:20,530 –> 00:05:22,250
\nthis beginning of the
\nexperience. <\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:22,250 –> 00:05:26,250
\nSee, the covenant has not yet
\nbeen fully made. <\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:26,850 –> 00:05:30,650
\nGod is still in the process of
\nbringing the people unto <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:30,650 –> 00:05:34,170
\nhimself, bringing them to the
\ncovenant which he is about to <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:34,170 –> 00:05:39,250
\nmake with them.
\nBut for some reason he decides <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:39,450 –> 00:05:43,130
\nthat this opening experience
\nthat he’s going to give them as <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:43,130 –> 00:05:47,940
\nhe gives his Lord to them.
\nIs 1, which makes them afraid. <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:48,860 –> 00:05:51,420
\nThey’re told to keep well away
\nfrom this mountain. <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:51,420 –> 00:05:57,540
\nThey are given signs that well
\nmake them scared. <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:58,300 –> 00:06:01,460
\nThe there is an earthquake that
\nthe mountain we are told in <\/p>\n

86
\n00:06:01,460 –> 00:06:07,020
\nverse 18 was on smoke and fire.
\nThe whole mount quake greatly. <\/p>\n

87
\n00:06:07,980 –> 00:06:15,590
\nThere was a mighty earthquake.
\nNow in this step then of God <\/p>\n

88
\n00:06:15,790 –> 00:06:19,510
\nbringing Israel unto Himself,
\nafter all, that’s His purpose in<\/p>\n

89
\n00:06:19,510 –> 00:06:23,670
\nverse 4, how I bear you on
\neagle’s wings and brought you <\/p>\n

90
\n00:06:23,670 –> 00:06:26,430
\nunto myself.
\nSo here he’s bringing them unto <\/p>\n

91
\n00:06:26,430 –> 00:06:31,830
\nhimself.
\nHe seeks to owe them with His <\/p>\n

92
\n00:06:31,830 –> 00:06:38,390
\nmighty power, with His Majesty.
\nNow we can think why. <\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:39,690 –> 00:06:43,130
\nAccording to the Proverbs, as we
\nread again and again, the fear <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:43,130 –> 00:06:47,010
\nof the Lord is the beginning of
\nknowledge. <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:47,330 –> 00:06:50,610
\nLet’s just look at a couple of
\nthose references from Proverbs. <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:51,050 –> 00:06:56,810
\nProverbs chapter one and we read
\nin verse 7. <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:57,450 –> 00:07:01,090
\nThe fear of the Lord is the
\nbeginning of knowledge. <\/p>\n

98
\n00:07:02,970 –> 00:07:07,770
\nAgain we read in the 9th chapter
\nand verse 10. <\/p>\n

99
\n00:07:12,810 –> 00:07:16,450
\nThe fear of the Lord is the
\nbeginning of wisdom. <\/p>\n

100
\n00:07:16,450 –> 00:07:27,010
\nAnd again in verse 33 of chapter
\n15, the fear of the Lord is the <\/p>\n

101
\n00:07:27,010 –> 00:07:35,690
\ninstruction of wisdom, and so
\nKnowledge, wisdom instruction. <\/p>\n

102
\n00:07:36,490 –> 00:07:44,730
\nAgain, says the wise man with an
\nawe, a fear, a reverence of God.<\/p>\n

103
\n00:07:46,130 –> 00:07:50,810
\nAnd so it is that all the people
\nfeared greatly when this <\/p>\n

104
\n00:07:50,810 –> 00:07:54,930
\nhappened.
\nNow not only did all the people <\/p>\n

105
\n00:07:54,930 –> 00:08:00,290
\nfear, Moses himself was
\nfrightened by this experience. <\/p>\n

106
\n00:08:00,290 –> 00:08:04,130
\nMoses knew what was happening,
\nand yet he was exceedingly <\/p>\n

107
\n00:08:04,130 –> 00:08:07,590
\nfrightened by this.
\nDemonstration of God’s power. <\/p>\n

108
\n00:08:07,590 –> 00:08:11,590
\nThis we learn only from the New
\nTestament record in Hebrews <\/p>\n

109
\n00:08:11,590 –> 00:08:20,190
\nchapter 12, verse 21 reads.
\nAnd so terrible was the sight <\/p>\n

110
\n00:08:20,550 –> 00:08:25,870
\nthat Moses said, I exceedingly
\nfear and quake. <\/p>\n

111
\n00:08:27,510 –> 00:08:34,190
\nAnd so Moses himself was
\nfrightened by the experience. <\/p>\n

112
\n00:08:36,360 –> 00:08:40,679
\nNow that was in Hebrews 12 and
\nverse 21. <\/p>\n

113
\n00:08:42,600 –> 00:08:48,640
\nNow if then the fear of the Lord
\nis the beginning of knowledge, <\/p>\n

114
\n00:08:48,840 –> 00:08:53,160
\nbeginning of wisdom, beginning
\nof instruction, is that where <\/p>\n

115
\n00:08:53,160 –> 00:08:56,960
\nour walk before God starts?
\nAnd yes, it is. <\/p>\n

116
\n00:08:57,400 –> 00:09:01,960
\nOf course we know that, unless
\nwe have some knowledge of God. <\/p>\n

117
\n00:09:02,940 –> 00:09:08,060
\nThen we can no way draw near to
\nHim, and unless we have some <\/p>\n

118
\n00:09:08,060 –> 00:09:12,460
\nwisdom in choosing to draw an
\neye to Him, we cannot draw an <\/p>\n

119
\n00:09:12,460 –> 00:09:16,420
\neye to Him.
\nAnd so, as again Hebrews Chapter<\/p>\n

120
\n00:09:16,420 –> 00:09:20,540
\n11 tells us, verse six, that if
\nwe are to draw near to God, if <\/p>\n

121
\n00:09:20,540 –> 00:09:24,500
\nwe are to come to God, we must
\nbelieve that He is we must have <\/p>\n

122
\n00:09:24,700 –> 00:09:28,420
\nknowledge of His existence and
\nknowledge. <\/p>\n

123
\n00:09:29,750 –> 00:09:32,590
\nOf his character.
\nBecause how can we draw near to <\/p>\n

124
\n00:09:32,590 –> 00:09:39,910
\nregard whom we do not know?
\nHow can we make that choice back<\/p>\n

125
\n00:09:39,910 –> 00:09:48,190
\nin Proverbs chapter one?
\nWe read and we’ll pick up at <\/p>\n

126
\n00:09:48,510 –> 00:09:55,970
\nverse 29.
\nTalking about those who refused <\/p>\n

127
\n00:09:55,970 –> 00:10:01,730
\nthe ways of God, for they hated
\nknowledge and did not choose the<\/p>\n

128
\n00:10:01,730 –> 00:10:07,130
\nfear of the Lord.
\nIt was their choice as a wise <\/p>\n

129
\n00:10:07,130 –> 00:10:09,770
\nman whether they were going to
\nfear God or not. <\/p>\n

130
\n00:10:11,090 –> 00:10:16,330
\nHow people respond to
\ndemonstration of God’s power is <\/p>\n

131
\n00:10:16,330 –> 00:10:20,680
\ntheir choice.
\nAnd sometimes I used to think as<\/p>\n

132
\n00:10:20,680 –> 00:10:24,360
\na young child, look, why doesn’t
\nGod just do something <\/p>\n

133
\n00:10:24,360 –> 00:10:27,840
\ncatastrophic, that something so
\namazing that nobody can say, <\/p>\n

134
\n00:10:27,840 –> 00:10:30,520
\nlook, is there a God, Does God
\nreally exist? <\/p>\n

135
\n00:10:31,680 –> 00:10:34,680
\nAnd to realize as you read
\nthrough Scripture, it doesn’t <\/p>\n

136
\n00:10:34,680 –> 00:10:41,280
\nmatter what God did if people
\nchoose not to fear God, if <\/p>\n

137
\n00:10:41,280 –> 00:10:46,140
\npeople choose not to heed him.
\nThat they won’t do it. <\/p>\n

138
\n00:10:46,580 –> 00:10:51,140
\nAnd Scripture is full of
\nexamples of people who, despite <\/p>\n

139
\n00:10:51,660 –> 00:10:56,060
\nthe most catastrophic
\nsituations, refuse to <\/p>\n

140
\n00:10:56,060 –> 00:11:02,500
\nacknowledge, fear, respect God.
\nJust turn for example, to the <\/p>\n

141
\n00:11:02,500 –> 00:11:05,340
\nBook of Revelation and the
\njudgments which are poured out <\/p>\n

142
\n00:11:05,340 –> 00:11:07,620
\nthere.
\nVery awesome judgments in <\/p>\n

143
\n00:11:07,620 –> 00:11:14,950
\nRevelation chapter 16.
\nAnd we read here verses 10 and <\/p>\n

144
\n00:11:14,950 –> 00:11:18,990
\n11.
\nAnd the 5th Angel poured out his<\/p>\n

145
\n00:11:18,990 –> 00:11:22,790
\nvial upon the seat of the beast,
\nand his Kingdom was full of <\/p>\n

146
\n00:11:22,790 –> 00:11:25,510
\ndarkness.
\nAnd they gnawed their tongues <\/p>\n

147
\n00:11:25,510 –> 00:11:30,510
\nfor pain, and blasphemed the God
\nof heaven because of their pains<\/p>\n

148
\n00:11:30,510 –> 00:11:33,710
\nin the source, and repented not
\nof their deeds. <\/p>\n

149
\n00:11:35,910 –> 00:11:40,380
\nSo they they had a clear choice.
\nThat in these terrible <\/p>\n

150
\n00:11:40,380 –> 00:11:41,820
\nsituations they found
\nthemselves. <\/p>\n

151
\n00:11:41,820 –> 00:11:46,460
\nThey could they could turn and
\nplead God, acknowledge that God <\/p>\n

152
\n00:11:46,460 –> 00:11:51,700
\nhad the right and the power to
\ndeal as he was with them, but <\/p>\n

153
\n00:11:51,700 –> 00:11:54,620
\nthey would not acknowledge that.
\nThey would not respect that. <\/p>\n

154
\n00:11:54,620 –> 00:11:59,020
\nThey would not fear that they
\nchose just to blaspheme. <\/p>\n

155
\n00:12:01,180 –> 00:12:06,250
\nAnd that tells us also why.
\nGod is calling out of the <\/p>\n

156
\n00:12:06,250 –> 00:12:09,770
\nnations, the people for his name
\nand not simply plunking the <\/p>\n

157
\n00:12:09,770 –> 00:12:11,570
\nwhole human race into his
\nKingdom. <\/p>\n

158
\n00:12:12,970 –> 00:12:17,410
\nAgain, many times we hear people
\nsay, well look, really couldn’t <\/p>\n

159
\n00:12:17,410 –> 00:12:20,930
\nGod just in his kindness put
\neverybody into the Kingdom? <\/p>\n

160
\n00:12:21,810 –> 00:12:26,410
\nBut he couldn’t have a Kingdom
\nif he did that, because people <\/p>\n

161
\n00:12:26,530 –> 00:12:30,360
\nwould not.
\nAcknowledge God’s right to do as<\/p>\n

162
\n00:12:30,360 –> 00:12:33,960
\nHe wants in His Kingdom, and His
\nrole just turned to Isaiah. <\/p>\n

163
\n00:12:33,960 –> 00:12:47,000
\nChapter 26 we read here starting
\nfrom verse 9, Isaiah 26. <\/p>\n

164
\n00:12:48,440 –> 00:12:51,240
\nWith my soul have I desired thee
\nin the night. <\/p>\n

165
\n00:12:51,960 –> 00:12:55,680
\nYay, with my spirit within me
\nwill I seek thee early. <\/p>\n

166
\n00:12:56,440 –> 00:13:00,160
\nFor when your judgments are in
\nthe earth, the inhabitants of <\/p>\n

167
\n00:13:00,160 –> 00:13:02,480
\nthe world will learn
\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n

168
\n00:13:03,120 –> 00:13:06,880
\nOK, so when Christ comes back
\nand sets up the Kingdom, the <\/p>\n

169
\n00:13:06,880 –> 00:13:09,440
\ninhabitants of the world will
\nlearn righteousness. <\/p>\n

170
\n00:13:09,560 –> 00:13:14,040
\nBut verse 10 Let favor be showed
\nto the wicked. <\/p>\n

171
\n00:13:14,600 –> 00:13:18,040
\nYet he will not learn
\nrighteousness in the land of <\/p>\n

172
\n00:13:18,040 –> 00:13:21,200
\nuprightness.
\nHe will deal unjustly and will <\/p>\n

173
\n00:13:21,200 –> 00:13:23,360
\nnot behold the majesty of the
\nLord. <\/p>\n

174
\n00:13:24,360 –> 00:13:27,680
\nThat word there, Behold.
\nLiterally means to acknowledge. <\/p>\n

175
\n00:13:27,960 –> 00:13:29,920
\nIn other words, put him in the
\nKingdom. <\/p>\n

176
\n00:13:30,360 –> 00:13:33,960
\nPut him in a perfect situation
\nwhere everything is just fine <\/p>\n

177
\n00:13:34,440 –> 00:13:38,960
\nand he will still not
\nacknowledge God’s right to do as<\/p>\n

178
\n00:13:38,960 –> 00:13:42,920
\nGod wants to do.
\nAnd so there are people. <\/p>\n

179
\n00:13:43,440 –> 00:13:46,440
\nThere are, unfortunately it
\nwould seem, the majority of <\/p>\n

180
\n00:13:46,440 –> 00:13:52,280
\nhuman beings who will not fear
\nthe Lord regardless of whatever <\/p>\n

181
\n00:13:52,280 –> 00:14:00,400
\nsituation they may face.
\nNow fear of course is something <\/p>\n

182
\n00:14:00,400 –> 00:14:03,280
\ntherefore that people must have
\nof God. <\/p>\n

183
\n00:14:03,920 –> 00:14:06,360
\nAnd that’s why you will find,
\nfor example in the Acts of the <\/p>\n

184
\n00:14:06,360 –> 00:14:11,440
\nApostles, the apostles sometimes
\naddressing the the multitude and<\/p>\n

185
\n00:14:11,440 –> 00:14:16,760
\nsaying, men, brethren, ye that
\nfear God, how can? <\/p>\n

186
\n00:14:17,240 –> 00:14:21,440
\nBecause if people don’t fear
\nGod, if we don’t fear God, then <\/p>\n

187
\n00:14:21,440 –> 00:14:23,720
\nwe are not going to listen to
\nwhat he says. <\/p>\n

188
\n00:14:24,720 –> 00:14:29,240
\nAnd that is why God needed to
\nbring this horrible experience <\/p>\n

189
\n00:14:29,600 –> 00:14:32,200
\nto Israel.
\nThat they might hear, that they <\/p>\n

190
\n00:14:32,200 –> 00:14:35,440
\nmight listen because they fear
\nHim. <\/p>\n

191
\n00:14:37,320 –> 00:14:44,400
\nNow, sometimes we don’t have
\nthese experiences that that <\/p>\n

192
\n00:14:44,400 –> 00:14:45,960
\nfrighten us.
\nSometimes we do. <\/p>\n

193
\n00:14:45,960 –> 00:14:51,000
\nSometimes things happen.
\nAnd as much as we know, every <\/p>\n

194
\n00:14:51,000 –> 00:14:54,080
\nday is a day within God’s care
\nfor us. <\/p>\n

195
\n00:14:55,270 –> 00:14:59,910
\nYet isn’t it true that when
\ntragedy strikes, when something <\/p>\n

196
\n00:15:00,150 –> 00:15:05,430
\nreally happens to us, in our
\nfamily, in our close nitty <\/p>\n

197
\n00:15:05,430 –> 00:15:09,470
\ncleisures that we do, we get
\nfrightened. <\/p>\n

198
\n00:15:09,870 –> 00:15:13,950
\nWhat is God trying to teach us?
\nWhat really is going wrong in my<\/p>\n

199
\n00:15:13,950 –> 00:15:17,030
\nlife, in my family’s life, in my
\ncleisure’s life? <\/p>\n

200
\n00:15:18,510 –> 00:15:22,990
\nBecause we fear that God is
\nworking there and we don’t <\/p>\n

201
\n00:15:22,990 –> 00:15:25,710
\nunderstand why.
\nAnd that’s right, that we should<\/p>\n

202
\n00:15:25,710 –> 00:15:27,670
\ndo.
\nNot that we should trouble <\/p>\n

203
\n00:15:27,670 –> 00:15:31,390
\nourselves too much as working
\nout why, as we will see in a <\/p>\n

204
\n00:15:31,390 –> 00:15:35,150
\nlater study.
\nBut it is important to recognize<\/p>\n

205
\n00:15:35,350 –> 00:15:40,950
\nthat yes, we should pause, we
\nshould consider we should indeed<\/p>\n

206
\n00:15:41,110 –> 00:15:47,230
\nrespect and fear our God.
\nNow, that doesn’t mean that our <\/p>\n

207
\n00:15:47,230 –> 00:15:52,710
\nwhole walk has to be, as it
\nwere, tailored out of fear. <\/p>\n

208
\n00:15:54,110 –> 00:15:59,710
\nFear was the beginning of the
\nexperience for Israel, and fear <\/p>\n

209
\n00:15:59,910 –> 00:16:02,750
\nof God may well be the beginning
\nof our experience. <\/p>\n

210
\n00:16:03,550 –> 00:16:07,470
\nBut we must grow.
\nWe must grow until, as we will <\/p>\n

211
\n00:16:07,470 –> 00:16:10,630
\nfind by the end of the weekend,
\nas we find in first John chapter<\/p>\n

212
\n00:16:10,630 –> 00:16:15,150
\n4 and verse 18 that perfect love
\ncasts out fear. <\/p>\n

213
\n00:16:16,430 –> 00:16:22,030
\nSo we will get by God’s grace to
\nthat situation where love. <\/p>\n

214
\n00:16:22,620 –> 00:16:26,340
\nAnd not fear is the prime mover
\nof all that we do. <\/p>\n

215
\n00:16:27,780 –> 00:16:34,060
\nBut the starting point must be
\nwith fear until love takes over.<\/p>\n

216
\n00:16:34,220 –> 00:16:36,460
\nAnd there might be times that we
\nneed to induce this. <\/p>\n

217
\n00:16:36,460 –> 00:16:42,500
\nYou remember back King David, of
\ncourse, At various times in the <\/p>\n

218
\n00:16:42,500 –> 00:16:47,980
\nPsalms he seems to deliberately
\ninduce a sense of awe, a sense <\/p>\n

219
\n00:16:47,980 –> 00:16:51,880
\nalmost of fear.
\nOf the greatness of his God, so <\/p>\n

220
\n00:16:51,880 –> 00:16:57,400
\nthat he he really can feel his
\nown position before God. <\/p>\n

221
\n00:16:58,120 –> 00:17:05,400
\nFor example, in the 8th Psalm 1,
\nwhich is very famous, and verse <\/p>\n

222
\n00:17:05,520 –> 00:17:09,839
\nthree and four, when I consider
\nthe heavens the work of your <\/p>\n

223
\n00:17:09,839 –> 00:17:14,200
\nhands, of moon and stars which
\nyou have ordained, what is man? <\/p>\n

224
\n00:17:14,200 –> 00:17:17,040
\nThat you are mindful of him, the
\nSon of man, That you visit him. <\/p>\n

225
\n00:17:17,599 –> 00:17:19,720
\nI mean, what am I?
\nSays David compared to this <\/p>\n

226
\n00:17:19,800 –> 00:17:25,520
\nawesome universe.
\nSo he induces a sense of awe of <\/p>\n

227
\n00:17:25,640 –> 00:17:32,680
\nhis God, and that’s important.
\nIn fact, in the 34th Psalm, <\/p>\n

228
\n00:17:33,120 –> 00:17:39,240
\nDavid reminds us of the need to
\nalways blow God up in our <\/p>\n

229
\n00:17:39,240 –> 00:17:42,600
\nthinking into much bigger than
\nHe is. <\/p>\n

230
\n00:17:43,310 –> 00:17:45,070
\nAt least much bigger than he is
\nin our thinking. <\/p>\n

231
\n00:17:45,070 –> 00:17:48,670
\nIt’s impossible to to magnify
\nGod in our thinking bigger than <\/p>\n

232
\n00:17:48,670 –> 00:17:53,150
\nhe is because he’s so vast.
\nBut it’s the finding we have as <\/p>\n

233
\n00:17:53,150 –> 00:17:56,550
\nhuman beings.
\nWe cannot readily appreciate <\/p>\n

234
\n00:17:56,550 –> 00:18:01,070
\nthat all the nations are us.
\nBut a drop in a bucket, I mean <\/p>\n

235
\n00:18:01,070 –> 00:18:04,670
\nwhen we have one drop of water
\nin a bucket we we reckon it’s <\/p>\n

236
\n00:18:04,670 –> 00:18:07,910
\nempty.
\nWe, we, we, we say, look, <\/p>\n

237
\n00:18:07,910 –> 00:18:10,310
\nthere’s no water there.
\nIt’s nothing. <\/p>\n

238
\n00:18:10,310 –> 00:18:12,390
\nIt’s the dust of the balance.
\nAnd that’s the the. <\/p>\n

239
\n00:18:13,120 –> 00:18:15,960
\nProphet goes on to say, and as I
\nthought, he that he counts the <\/p>\n

240
\n00:18:15,960 –> 00:18:20,960
\nnations as less than nothing,
\nabsolutely nothing. <\/p>\n

241
\n00:18:21,760 –> 00:18:25,960
\nSo who are we?
\nWhat are we compared to this <\/p>\n

242
\n00:18:26,200 –> 00:18:31,200
\ngreat God?
\nAnd therefore, in the words of <\/p>\n

243
\n00:18:31,200 –> 00:18:36,960
\nPsalm 34, verse 30 magnify the
\nLord with me. <\/p>\n

244
\n00:18:37,900 –> 00:18:40,020
\nMagnify.
\nWe know what a magnifying glass <\/p>\n

245
\n00:18:40,020 –> 00:18:41,500
\ndoes.
\nIt makes things bigger. <\/p>\n

246
\n00:18:41,740 –> 00:18:46,820
\nLet’s make God bigger in our
\nthinking, in our estimation, <\/p>\n

247
\n00:18:47,100 –> 00:18:51,580
\nsays David.
\nAnd so we magnify the Lord. <\/p>\n

248
\n00:18:51,980 –> 00:18:54,580
\nFor those who fear the Lord, of
\ncourse, do that. <\/p>\n

249
\n00:18:54,580 –> 00:18:59,260
\nBut those who don’t fear the
\nLord make God very small, so <\/p>\n

250
\n00:18:59,260 –> 00:19:02,020
\nthat God has no power.
\nThat they’re not. <\/p>\n

251
\n00:19:02,020 –> 00:19:08,710
\nThey’re not frightened of God.
\nAnd again, the Psalms are full <\/p>\n

252
\n00:19:08,710 –> 00:19:12,590
\nof examples of people who are
\nnot frightened of God. <\/p>\n

253
\n00:19:13,750 –> 00:19:20,430
\nIt’s in Psalm 78, I think, that
\nhe makes mention of this, <\/p>\n

254
\n00:19:20,710 –> 00:19:28,230
\ntalking about the wicked and the
\nterrible things that the wicked <\/p>\n

255
\n00:19:28,230 –> 00:19:37,120
\ndo, and he goes through.
\nIn Psalm sorry 73 Psalm 73 my <\/p>\n

256
\n00:19:37,120 –> 00:19:43,440
\ncorrection and he talks about
\nall the wicked things which the <\/p>\n

257
\n00:19:43,600 –> 00:19:49,920
\nwicked do and they say in verse
\n11 and they say how does God <\/p>\n

258
\n00:19:49,920 –> 00:19:52,720
\nknow?
\nIs there knowledge in the most <\/p>\n

259
\n00:19:52,720 –> 00:19:55,440
\nHigh God?
\nGod doesn’t know all these <\/p>\n

260
\n00:19:55,440 –> 00:19:57,200
\nthings.
\nHow can God know everything that<\/p>\n

261
\n00:19:57,200 –> 00:19:59,800
\nhappens?
\nGod is a small God. <\/p>\n

262
\n00:20:00,830 –> 00:20:04,190
\nWhat’s he going to know if I do
\nthis or I do that? <\/p>\n

263
\n00:20:05,430 –> 00:20:07,710
\nBut of course our God is not a
\nsmall God. <\/p>\n

264
\n00:20:08,790 –> 00:20:15,630
\nOur God knows, knows, even the
\nhairs of our head, even in the <\/p>\n

265
\n00:20:15,630 –> 00:20:18,710
\nmorning or in the evening after
\nwe’ve combed it. <\/p>\n

266
\n00:20:18,710 –> 00:20:20,310
\nIt might be less, but we don’t
\nknow. <\/p>\n

267
\n00:20:20,310 –> 00:20:25,110
\nBut he knows.
\nAnd that’s the sort of God we <\/p>\n

268
\n00:20:25,110 –> 00:20:28,950
\nhave a God that that we we do
\nfear. <\/p>\n

269
\n00:20:30,850 –> 00:20:36,530
\nAnd I think even as we walk
\nthrough our lives in Christ, <\/p>\n

270
\n00:20:37,250 –> 00:20:41,530
\nthere is always an element that
\nmust be there of fear. <\/p>\n

271
\n00:20:42,290 –> 00:20:47,410
\nWe know that when we have small
\nchildren, initially children, <\/p>\n

272
\n00:20:47,850 –> 00:20:52,290
\nvery small children will to some
\nextent or buy us out of fear. <\/p>\n

273
\n00:20:53,370 –> 00:20:55,770
\nThey know that if they do
\nsomething wrong that they will <\/p>\n

274
\n00:20:55,770 –> 00:20:59,040
\nsuffer.
\nBut gradually, and this is a <\/p>\n

275
\n00:20:59,040 –> 00:21:04,640
\nlong process in a child, those
\nvalues which we are making the <\/p>\n

276
\n00:21:04,640 –> 00:21:07,800
\ndecisions on will be
\ninternalized by them. <\/p>\n

277
\n00:21:08,400 –> 00:21:11,880
\nSo eventually they leave home.
\nAnd they don’t need the fear of <\/p>\n

278
\n00:21:11,880 –> 00:21:15,840
\nparents because they have
\ninternalized from us and from <\/p>\n

279
\n00:21:15,840 –> 00:21:19,720
\nthe Scripture the values that
\nwill keep them in the right way.<\/p>\n

280
\n00:21:20,080 –> 00:21:25,040
\nThey’ve internalized from us a
\nfear of God, but their parents <\/p>\n

281
\n00:21:25,040 –> 00:21:30,060
\nare no longer there, But God is
\nthere, and they don’t want to <\/p>\n

282
\n00:21:30,340 –> 00:21:34,900
\nupset God.
\nAnd so it is that in the <\/p>\n

283
\n00:21:34,900 –> 00:21:38,780
\nbeginning of our walk, this is
\nthe case. <\/p>\n

284
\n00:21:39,020 –> 00:21:43,900
\nAnd it’s interesting that as the
\nEcclesia grew in Acts of the <\/p>\n

285
\n00:21:43,900 –> 00:21:49,100
\nApostles, the beginnings of the
\necclesia were marked often by <\/p>\n

286
\n00:21:49,100 –> 00:21:54,350
\nincidents that, as it were
\nexact, the ecleasure, the new <\/p>\n

287
\n00:21:54,350 –> 00:21:58,790
\nlittle ecleasure, growing with
\nfear that people might not take <\/p>\n

288
\n00:21:58,790 –> 00:22:03,870
\nlightly the decision to become
\npart of the family of the living<\/p>\n

289
\n00:22:03,870 –> 00:22:08,350
\nGod.
\nJust turn to a few examples in <\/p>\n

290
\n00:22:08,590 –> 00:22:22,600
\nActs chapter 2, verse 43.
\nAnd fear came upon every soul <\/p>\n

291
\n00:22:22,600 –> 00:22:25,760
\nand many wonders and signs were
\ndone by the apostles. <\/p>\n

292
\n00:22:27,360 –> 00:22:31,000
\nGod saw to it with great things
\nthat there was a certain measure<\/p>\n

293
\n00:22:31,240 –> 00:22:35,280
\nof fear that this was some great
\nthing. <\/p>\n

294
\n00:22:35,280 –> 00:22:39,680
\nThis was not something to be
\ndismissed lightly or to be just <\/p>\n

295
\n00:22:39,840 –> 00:22:42,200
\ntampered with just for human
\npleasure. <\/p>\n

296
\n00:22:44,040 –> 00:22:50,440
\nAnd in chapter 5, this is really
\ndriven home with the example of <\/p>\n

297
\n00:22:51,160 –> 00:22:55,400
\nAnanais and Safira.
\nAnd and why did this happen? <\/p>\n

298
\n00:22:55,400 –> 00:22:58,840
\nWhat was God’s purpose in
\nallowing this to happen in the <\/p>\n

299
\n00:22:59,320 –> 00:23:04,040
\nearly church?
\nOh verse 5. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:23:05,160 –> 00:23:07,800
\nAnd Ananais, hearing these
\nwords, fell down and gave up the<\/p>\n

301
\n00:23:07,800 –> 00:23:11,800
\nspirit, and great fear came on
\nall them that heard these <\/p>\n

302
\n00:23:11,800 –> 00:23:16,370
\nthings.
\nThis was God’s decision to <\/p>\n

303
\n00:23:16,370 –> 00:23:21,090
\ninduce fear.
\nAnd again verse 11 And great <\/p>\n

304
\n00:23:21,090 –> 00:23:26,210
\nfear came upon all the church
\nand many who heard these things.<\/p>\n

305
\n00:23:27,210 –> 00:23:33,410
\nSo the Ecclesia realized that it
\nwas not a small thing to tamper <\/p>\n

306
\n00:23:34,250 –> 00:23:39,970
\nwith the things of the living
\nGod, that yes, he was a God of <\/p>\n

307
\n00:23:39,970 –> 00:23:43,010
\nlove, who sought to bring them
\nunto himself, as he did with <\/p>\n

308
\n00:23:43,010 –> 00:23:48,670
\nIsrael, in a very loving way.
\nAnd yet he knew that it was <\/p>\n

309
\n00:23:48,670 –> 00:23:52,950
\nnecessary to instill in Israel,
\nand it was necessary to instill <\/p>\n

310
\n00:23:53,190 –> 00:24:00,670
\nin the Ecclesia some fear of
\nGod, that we who are so weak in <\/p>\n

311
\n00:24:00,670 –> 00:24:05,710
\nthe flesh, should not lightly
\ntamper with the things of God. <\/p>\n

312
\n00:24:07,230 –> 00:24:12,710
\nAnd later on in Acts Chapter 9
\nand verse 31 we see the result <\/p>\n

313
\n00:24:12,710 –> 00:24:18,600
\nof the development.
\nThen had the churches rest <\/p>\n

314
\n00:24:18,600 –> 00:24:22,200
\nthroughout all Judea and Galilee
\nand Samaria, and were edified, <\/p>\n

315
\n00:24:22,640 –> 00:24:26,640
\nand walking in the fear of the
\nLord and comfort of the Holy <\/p>\n

316
\n00:24:26,640 –> 00:24:33,680
\nSpirit were multiplied.
\nAnd so it was that the Ecclesia <\/p>\n

317
\n00:24:34,160 –> 00:24:38,520
\nhad to begin their development
\nthis way. <\/p>\n

318
\n00:24:39,760 –> 00:24:44,270
\nAnd when we jumped right forward
\nbeyond our day to the beginning <\/p>\n

319
\n00:24:44,270 –> 00:24:47,910
\nof the Kingdom era, when you
\nhave a world which must be <\/p>\n

320
\n00:24:47,910 –> 00:24:53,670
\nbrought to its knees to to
\nworship God in the Kingdom age <\/p>\n

321
\n00:24:54,110 –> 00:24:59,310
\nagain, it is ushered in by a
\ngreat demonstration of God’s <\/p>\n

322
\n00:24:59,310 –> 00:25:05,190
\npower inducing human fear.
\nIf you return to Isaiah 2 as one<\/p>\n

323
\n00:25:05,190 –> 00:25:12,790
\nexample of that, where we have
\nthis very graphic description of<\/p>\n

324
\n00:25:13,390 –> 00:25:22,310
\nthe fear of God induced by
\nmighty powers, verse 10 Enter <\/p>\n

325
\n00:25:22,310 –> 00:25:25,750
\ninto the rock and hide thee in
\nthe dust, for fear of the Lord <\/p>\n

326
\n00:25:25,950 –> 00:25:30,390
\nand for glory of His Majesty,
\nthe lofty looks of man shall be <\/p>\n

327
\n00:25:30,390 –> 00:25:34,950
\nhumbled, the haughtiness of men
\nshall be bowed down, and the <\/p>\n

328
\n00:25:34,950 –> 00:25:38,150
\nLord alone shall be exalted in
\nthat day. <\/p>\n

329
\n00:25:39,630 –> 00:25:43,450
\nAnd verse 21.
\nTo go into the clefts of the <\/p>\n

330
\n00:25:43,450 –> 00:25:46,930
\nrocks, into the tops of the
\nragged rocks, for fear of the <\/p>\n

331
\n00:25:46,930 –> 00:25:50,010
\nLord, and for the glory of His
\nMajesty. <\/p>\n

332
\n00:25:50,530 –> 00:25:53,570
\nWhen he arises to shake terribly
\nthe earth. <\/p>\n

333
\n00:25:55,890 –> 00:26:01,170
\nGod does it because He knows
\nthat that is the only way that <\/p>\n

334
\n00:26:01,170 –> 00:26:07,330
\nhe is going to begin the process
\nof instruction and knowledge and<\/p>\n

335
\n00:26:07,330 –> 00:26:12,960
\nwisdom for a world that has gone
\nso hopelessly wrong and and we <\/p>\n

336
\n00:26:12,960 –> 00:26:16,480
\ncan see it.
\nWe can see every time we we open<\/p>\n

337
\n00:26:16,480 –> 00:26:19,960
\nour papers or or switch on our
\nInternet news. <\/p>\n

338
\n00:26:20,240 –> 00:26:24,080
\nWe can see that the world is
\ngoing further and further away <\/p>\n

339
\n00:26:24,080 –> 00:26:26,360
\nfrom the instruction of the
\nLord. <\/p>\n

340
\n00:26:26,840 –> 00:26:29,960
\nThat there are laws being
\nushered in in virtually every <\/p>\n

341
\n00:26:29,960 –> 00:26:34,200
\ncountry that contradict the
\nprinciples that the Bible is <\/p>\n

342
\n00:26:34,200 –> 00:26:37,360
\nteaching us.
\nAnd so it is that people will <\/p>\n

343
\n00:26:37,360 –> 00:26:41,080
\nhave to be given this fear of
\nthe Lord. <\/p>\n

344
\n00:26:41,710 –> 00:26:46,990
\nNow, once we have begun our
\nwalk, once we have been <\/p>\n

345
\n00:26:46,990 –> 00:26:51,590
\ninstructed in the things of God,
\nonce we have come to Christ, we <\/p>\n

346
\n00:26:51,590 –> 00:26:54,070
\nhave made our commitment through
\nbaptism. <\/p>\n

347
\n00:26:55,350 –> 00:27:00,710
\nDoes does there need to be any
\nsense of awe, of fear of God? <\/p>\n

348
\n00:27:02,350 –> 00:27:05,790
\nWell, I I think there does.
\nI think God at times had to <\/p>\n

349
\n00:27:05,790 –> 00:27:09,300
\nrekindle in Israel this sense of
\nfear. <\/p>\n

350
\n00:27:09,980 –> 00:27:13,300
\nLittle ways, not not mighty ways
\nas he began. <\/p>\n

351
\n00:27:13,980 –> 00:27:17,380
\nJust turn for example to First
\nSamuel in Chapter 11. <\/p>\n

352
\n00:27:18,780 –> 00:27:24,020
\nHere we just see a small example
\nof how God caused his fear to <\/p>\n

353
\n00:27:24,020 –> 00:27:30,140
\ncome upon the people.
\nFirst Samuel Chapter 11, verses <\/p>\n

354
\n00:27:30,420 –> 00:27:39,080
\n6 and six through to 8.
\nAnd the Spirit of God came upon <\/p>\n

355
\n00:27:39,080 –> 00:27:41,920
\nsoul when he heard those things,
\nand his anger was kindled <\/p>\n

356
\n00:27:41,920 –> 00:27:44,400
\ngreatly.
\nAnd he took a yoke of oxen, and <\/p>\n

357
\n00:27:44,400 –> 00:27:47,240
\nhued them in pieces, and sent
\nthem throughout all the coast of<\/p>\n

358
\n00:27:47,240 –> 00:27:50,480
\nIsrael by the hands of
\nmessengers, saying, Peace <\/p>\n

359
\n00:27:50,480 –> 00:27:54,360
\novercometh not forth after soul.
\nAnd after Samuel so shall it be <\/p>\n

360
\n00:27:54,360 –> 00:27:59,440
\ndone unto his oxen.
\nAnd the fear of the Lord fell on<\/p>\n

361
\n00:27:59,440 –> 00:28:01,520
\nthe people, and they came out
\nwith one consent. <\/p>\n

362
\n00:28:02,520 –> 00:28:07,510
\nUnderstand that it wasn’t the
\nfear of soul that’s being talked<\/p>\n

363
\n00:28:07,510 –> 00:28:09,550
\nabout.
\nYou might think, well the soul <\/p>\n

364
\n00:28:09,550 –> 00:28:11,590
\ndid this graphic thing and
\npeople are a bit frightened that<\/p>\n

365
\n00:28:11,590 –> 00:28:14,470
\nsoul might cut them up if they
\ndidn’t respond, but it doesn’t <\/p>\n

366
\n00:28:14,470 –> 00:28:17,310
\nsay that.
\nIt says that the fear of the <\/p>\n

367
\n00:28:17,310 –> 00:28:21,350
\nLord because soul was simply the
\nLord’s instrument. <\/p>\n

368
\n00:28:21,350 –> 00:28:26,030
\nThe spirit of the Lord verse six
\nhad come upon him wasn’t soul. <\/p>\n

369
\n00:28:26,030 –> 00:28:30,750
\nIt was the Lord who was at work
\nhere to bring this sense of fear<\/p>\n

370
\n00:28:31,070 –> 00:28:34,790
\nso that the people would respond
\nas God wanted them to respond at<\/p>\n

371
\n00:28:34,950 –> 00:28:41,320
\nthat time.
\nNow open Luke chapter 12. <\/p>\n

372
\n00:28:42,600 –> 00:28:45,840
\nOur Lord has something to say on
\nthis theme. <\/p>\n

373
\n00:28:50,080 –> 00:28:54,400
\nLuke chapter 12 and verse four
\nand five. <\/p>\n

374
\n00:28:55,320 –> 00:29:01,080
\nNow notice Luke chapter 12 is a
\nmessage first one to his <\/p>\n

375
\n00:29:01,080 –> 00:29:03,160
\ndisciples.
\nHe began to sign to his <\/p>\n

376
\n00:29:03,160 –> 00:29:08,170
\ndisciples first of all.
\nAnd so this is a message to us <\/p>\n

377
\n00:29:10,010 –> 00:29:13,370
\nthis for I sound to you, my
\nfriends, be not afraid of them <\/p>\n

378
\n00:29:13,370 –> 00:29:16,410
\nthat kill the body, and after
\nthat have no more that they can <\/p>\n

379
\n00:29:16,410 –> 00:29:19,170
\ndo.
\nBut I will forewarn you whom you<\/p>\n

380
\n00:29:19,170 –> 00:29:23,650
\nshall fear.
\nFear him which has, which after <\/p>\n

381
\n00:29:23,650 –> 00:29:26,490
\nhe has killed, have power to
\ncast into hell. <\/p>\n

382
\n00:29:26,770 –> 00:29:31,650
\nYeah, I sound to you, fear him.
\nAnd there’s a clear exhortation <\/p>\n

383
\n00:29:32,290 –> 00:29:36,660
\nfrom the Lord to Don’t fear man,
\nbut but do fear God. <\/p>\n

384
\n00:29:37,620 –> 00:29:39,420
\nDon’t say, well, I I fear
\nnobody. <\/p>\n

385
\n00:29:39,820 –> 00:29:44,180
\nI don’t fear man or God.
\nThat’s what the unjust judge <\/p>\n

386
\n00:29:44,180 –> 00:29:45,540
\nsaid.
\nI don’t fear God. <\/p>\n

387
\n00:29:45,540 –> 00:29:49,220
\nI don’t fear anybody.
\nJesus says don’t be like that. <\/p>\n

388
\n00:29:49,900 –> 00:29:53,300
\nCertainly don’t fear man, but
\nfear God. <\/p>\n

389
\n00:29:54,500 –> 00:30:00,500
\nIn fact, the wise man at the end
\nof his experiment with life, as <\/p>\n

390
\n00:30:00,500 –> 00:30:04,520
\nit were, and Ecclesiastes Trove
\ntells us that that’s the <\/p>\n

391
\n00:30:04,520 –> 00:30:06,280
\nconclusion of the whole matter,
\ndoesn’t it? <\/p>\n

392
\n00:30:07,840 –> 00:30:10,480
\nIn words which I’m sure you know
\nvery well. <\/p>\n

393
\n00:30:11,480 –> 00:30:16,880
\nVerse 13 of Ecclesiastes 12 Let
\nus hear the conclusion of the <\/p>\n

394
\n00:30:16,880 –> 00:30:20,760
\nwhole matter.
\nFear God and keep His <\/p>\n

395
\n00:30:20,760 –> 00:30:24,480
\ncommandments, for this is the
\nwhole duty of man. <\/p>\n

396
\n00:30:24,480 –> 00:30:26,760
\nNotice, by the way, duty there
\nin italics. <\/p>\n

397
\n00:30:27,040 –> 00:30:32,270
\nIt reads much more completely if
\nwe read it as Britain, fear God <\/p>\n

398
\n00:30:32,270 –> 00:30:37,470
\nand keep His commandments for
\nthis, the whole of man, that’s <\/p>\n

399
\n00:30:37,470 –> 00:30:41,070
\nall we are.
\nIt’s not just not a duty, it’s <\/p>\n

400
\n00:30:41,310 –> 00:30:47,430
\nall that there is that is worth
\nhaving in life is a life in <\/p>\n

401
\n00:30:47,430 –> 00:30:51,390
\nconformity with God’s
\ncommandments because we fear him<\/p>\n

402
\n00:30:53,070 –> 00:30:57,670
\nand the Lord.
\nJesus Christ himself had an <\/p>\n

403
\n00:30:57,670 –> 00:31:02,750
\nelement of this as we read again
\nfrom a verse we know well in <\/p>\n

404
\n00:31:02,750 –> 00:31:08,750
\nHebrews chapter 5, a verse we
\noften turn through to show the <\/p>\n

405
\n00:31:08,750 –> 00:31:13,790
\nLord shared our nature.
\nAnd we read verse 7:00 and 8:00 <\/p>\n

406
\n00:31:14,390 –> 00:31:16,830
\nduring the days of His flesh,
\nwhen he had offered up prayers <\/p>\n

407
\n00:31:16,830 –> 00:31:20,390
\nand supplications, with strong
\ncrying and tears unto him, that <\/p>\n

408
\n00:31:20,390 –> 00:31:26,550
\nwas able to save him from death
\nand was heard in that he feared.<\/p>\n

409
\n00:31:28,600 –> 00:31:32,720
\nAnd the margin there has tried
\nto turn around and say all his <\/p>\n

410
\n00:31:32,880 –> 00:31:37,920
\nhis piety, because they have a
\nproblem with the fact that Jesus<\/p>\n

411
\n00:31:37,920 –> 00:31:46,800
\nfeared his Father.
\nBut he did indeed seek to do the<\/p>\n

412
\n00:31:46,800 –> 00:31:51,160
\nFather’s will, because he stood
\nin awe of all that the Father <\/p>\n

413
\n00:31:51,400 –> 00:31:56,170
\nrepresented.
\nAnd many great men of old, many <\/p>\n

414
\n00:31:56,170 –> 00:32:03,930
\ngreat men of wonderful faith,
\noperated at a level of fear that<\/p>\n

415
\n00:32:04,050 –> 00:32:10,290
\nGod was not to be tampered with.
\nFor example, Noah Noah in <\/p>\n

416
\n00:32:10,290 –> 00:32:14,370
\nHebrews 11 we are told prepared
\nan ark. <\/p>\n

417
\n00:32:15,890 –> 00:32:20,590
\nNow why did he prepare an ark?
\nVerse 7 By faith now are being <\/p>\n

418
\n00:32:20,590 –> 00:32:26,310
\nwarned of God of things not seen
\nas yet moved with fear, prepared<\/p>\n

419
\n00:32:26,310 –> 00:32:28,270
\nan ark to the saving of his
\nhouse. <\/p>\n

420
\n00:32:29,430 –> 00:32:34,150
\nHe was quite sure that God meant
\nwhat he said and that there was <\/p>\n

421
\n00:32:34,150 –> 00:32:37,430
\nno tampering with God.
\nAnd I think this is the <\/p>\n

422
\n00:32:37,710 –> 00:32:42,510
\nimportant thing that we have to
\ncarry through our whole walk in <\/p>\n

423
\n00:32:42,510 –> 00:32:45,870
\nChrist.
\nSure, we will move gradually <\/p>\n

424
\n00:32:45,870 –> 00:32:49,690
\nfrom a position of terror, as
\nsome of the Israelites would <\/p>\n

425
\n00:32:49,690 –> 00:32:54,610
\nhave felt, to a position of
\ngreat security and of great <\/p>\n

426
\n00:32:54,610 –> 00:32:58,250
\nlove.
\nBut I think in that movement we <\/p>\n

427
\n00:32:58,370 –> 00:33:06,330
\nwe must retain an element of awe
\nand of fear that our God is not <\/p>\n

428
\n00:33:06,330 –> 00:33:11,450
\nto be tampered with.
\nAnd we’re reminded of that in <\/p>\n

429
\n00:33:11,450 –> 00:33:17,310
\nthe words of the New Testament
\nin the 12th chapter of Hebrews, <\/p>\n

430
\n00:33:18,230 –> 00:33:23,070
\nhaving talked about the the
\nquaking, regarding Moses reading<\/p>\n

431
\n00:33:23,070 –> 00:33:27,190
\nfrom verse 28 and 29, Wherefore
\nwe, receiving a Kingdom which <\/p>\n

432
\n00:33:27,190 –> 00:33:32,110
\ncannot be removed, be moved?
\nLet us have grace we may, <\/p>\n

433
\n00:33:32,270 –> 00:33:36,270
\nwhereby we may serve God
\nacceptably with reverence and <\/p>\n

434
\n00:33:36,270 –> 00:33:41,230
\ngodly fear.
\nFor our God is a consuming fire.<\/p>\n

435
\n00:33:43,360 –> 00:33:50,000
\nSo we cannot ever, I think, say,
\nwell, I don’t, I don’t have to <\/p>\n

436
\n00:33:50,160 –> 00:33:54,720
\nfear God If we were perfect,
\nyes, in the Kingdom, yes. <\/p>\n

437
\n00:33:55,880 –> 00:34:01,280
\nBut let’s face it, there’s a
\nvery clear test, I think, for <\/p>\n

438
\n00:34:01,280 –> 00:34:07,760
\nmyself as to why I need to have
\na greater sense of the fear of <\/p>\n

439
\n00:34:07,760 –> 00:34:09,719
\nGod.
\nMaybe for yourself. <\/p>\n

440
\n00:34:11,670 –> 00:34:19,190
\nMy actions, which I do, are
\nusually within the law, both <\/p>\n

441
\n00:34:19,190 –> 00:34:21,350
\nwithin God’s law and within
\nhuman law. <\/p>\n

442
\n00:34:22,909 –> 00:34:29,590
\nMy words are usually within
\nGod’s law and with human law, <\/p>\n

443
\n00:34:31,429 –> 00:34:37,510
\nbut my thoughts are very, very
\noften outside of God’s law and <\/p>\n

444
\n00:34:37,510 –> 00:34:41,480
\neven human law.
\nI sometimes in my mind think of <\/p>\n

445
\n00:34:41,480 –> 00:34:45,560
\ndoing things that I I’m I’m just
\nso blessed. <\/p>\n

446
\n00:34:45,760 –> 00:34:50,639
\nI feel that people don’t know
\nabout and why don’t I do them? <\/p>\n

447
\n00:34:52,199 –> 00:34:55,960
\nWell, I don’t do very often
\nthose things because what would <\/p>\n

448
\n00:34:55,960 –> 00:34:59,320
\npeople think?
\nI mean, I just couldn’t afford <\/p>\n

449
\n00:34:59,640 –> 00:35:03,000
\nemotionally to do those things
\nbecause I couldn’t cope with the<\/p>\n

450
\n00:35:03,000 –> 00:35:07,890
\nreaction of all the people I
\nlove and many of the things that<\/p>\n

451
\n00:35:07,890 –> 00:35:12,450
\nI might think about saying, I
\nwon’t say because I know what <\/p>\n

452
\n00:35:12,450 –> 00:35:17,610
\npeople will think, but my
\nthoughts, they’re my own. <\/p>\n

453
\n00:35:19,250 –> 00:35:20,610
\nBut then they’re not our own,
\nare they? <\/p>\n

454
\n00:35:22,330 –> 00:35:26,330
\nThe Bible’s very clear that
\nevery thought that we have, even<\/p>\n

455
\n00:35:26,330 –> 00:35:29,770
\nbefore we think it, God knows
\nnow. <\/p>\n

456
\n00:35:29,770 –> 00:35:34,210
\nWhy is it that my thoughts are
\ndirtier than my behavior? <\/p>\n

457
\n00:35:35,800 –> 00:35:39,600
\nFor the simple reason that I
\nhave more fear of what you think<\/p>\n

458
\n00:35:40,240 –> 00:35:43,000
\nright now perhaps than what my
\nGod thinks. <\/p>\n

459
\n00:35:43,320 –> 00:35:47,560
\nAnd I have to remind myself
\nconstantly that it has to be the<\/p>\n

460
\n00:35:47,560 –> 00:35:51,160
\nother way around and that God is
\nlooking on the inside. <\/p>\n

461
\n00:35:51,160 –> 00:35:54,480
\nGod is looking on my thoughts,
\nGod is looking on my heart. <\/p>\n

462
\n00:35:56,280 –> 00:36:02,290
\nAnd therefore I have to see that
\nmy thoughts, not just my words, <\/p>\n

463
\n00:36:02,290 –> 00:36:05,930
\nnot just my actions.
\nMy thoughts must be brought <\/p>\n

464
\n00:36:06,170 –> 00:36:12,210
\nunder his control because he
\nknows what I’m thinking now on <\/p>\n

465
\n00:36:12,210 –> 00:36:15,930
\n1\/2 of me.
\nOf course I my motivation is is <\/p>\n

466
\n00:36:15,930 –> 00:36:20,250
\nthe motivation of love.
\nI want to please God, but there <\/p>\n

467
\n00:36:20,250 –> 00:36:26,130
\nis definitely an element that
\nsays, look, I I’m afraid to <\/p>\n

468
\n00:36:26,130 –> 00:36:29,640
\nthink like that because God
\nknows what I’m thinking. <\/p>\n

469
\n00:36:30,200 –> 00:36:34,760
\nAnd I think for me that’s a
\ntelling point that therefore <\/p>\n

470
\n00:36:34,960 –> 00:36:39,600
\nthere has to be still in my my
\nspiritual work, an element of <\/p>\n

471
\n00:36:39,760 –> 00:36:44,760
\nfear of God.
\nAnd that’s in agreement with <\/p>\n

472
\n00:36:44,760 –> 00:36:48,800
\nwhat the apostles write.
\nIn the second chapter of <\/p>\n

473
\n00:36:48,800 –> 00:36:53,880
\nCorinthians, Chapter 7, Paul
\nhaving in the previous chapter <\/p>\n

474
\n00:36:54,160 –> 00:36:59,810
\ntalked about the necessity of of
\na pure and separated walk, <\/p>\n

475
\n00:37:00,730 –> 00:37:03,290
\nbegins in 2nd 15 seven verse
\none. <\/p>\n

476
\n00:37:04,490 –> 00:37:08,770
\nHaving therefore these promises,
\ndearly beloved, let us cleanse <\/p>\n

477
\n00:37:08,810 –> 00:37:13,610
\nourselves from all filthiness of
\nthe flesh and spirit, perfecting<\/p>\n

478
\n00:37:13,610 –> 00:37:19,850
\nholiness in the fear of God.
\nNow we can cleanse ourself from <\/p>\n

479
\n00:37:19,850 –> 00:37:24,450
\nall filthiness of the flesh,
\nvery much because of the fear of<\/p>\n

480
\n00:37:24,450 –> 00:37:32,290
\nman, but filthiness of the
\nspirit, perfecting holiness that<\/p>\n

481
\n00:37:32,290 –> 00:37:38,650
\nrequires the fear of God.
\nAgain over in Colossians chapter<\/p>\n

482
\n00:37:38,650 –> 00:37:50,710
\n3, reading this time from the
\n22nd verse, Servants obeying all<\/p>\n

483
\n00:37:50,710 –> 00:37:54,190
\nthings your masters according to
\nthe flesh, not with I service as<\/p>\n

484
\n00:37:54,190 –> 00:37:59,990
\nmen pleases, but in singleness
\nof heart, fearing God that <\/p>\n

485
\n00:37:59,990 –> 00:38:04,430
\nwhatever we do for whoever we do
\nit, it is with the knowledge <\/p>\n

486
\n00:38:05,670 –> 00:38:09,710
\nthat I’m doing this to God and
\nGod is not to be tampered with. <\/p>\n

487
\n00:38:11,150 –> 00:38:14,550
\nI don’t do little things on the
\nside that people don’t see <\/p>\n

488
\n00:38:14,550 –> 00:38:19,740
\nbecause God knows and God is not
\nto be tampered with. <\/p>\n

489
\n00:38:20,540 –> 00:38:27,140
\nHe’s a God of love, but he’s a
\nGod of great power and justice. <\/p>\n

490
\n00:38:28,660 –> 00:38:42,140
\nAgain in Peter’s first epistle,
\nFirst Peter and Chapter 2, verse<\/p>\n

491
\n00:38:42,140 –> 00:38:46,840
\n17, Honor All.
\nLove the brotherhood. <\/p>\n

492
\n00:38:47,680 –> 00:38:52,280
\nFear God, Honor the king.
\nThat’s a pretty quick <\/p>\n

493
\n00:38:52,280 –> 00:38:54,960
\nexhortation, isn’t it?
\n4 injunctions in one little <\/p>\n

494
\n00:38:54,960 –> 00:38:57,440
\nverse.
\nHonor everybody. <\/p>\n

495
\n00:38:57,680 –> 00:39:01,040
\nGive respect to everybody.
\nLove your brothers. <\/p>\n

496
\n00:39:02,080 –> 00:39:08,680
\nFear God, Honor the authorities.
\nAnd see when he had to pick out <\/p>\n

497
\n00:39:08,680 –> 00:39:12,760
\none thing that that was needed
\nfor for these believers was to <\/p>\n

498
\n00:39:12,760 –> 00:39:16,040
\nremind them that the
\nresponsibility to God was to to <\/p>\n

499
\n00:39:16,040 –> 00:39:18,400
\nfear God.
\nNow we know that that’s not a <\/p>\n

500
\n00:39:18,400 –> 00:39:21,920
\nfear of absolute terror.
\nThat’s not just shaking in your <\/p>\n

501
\n00:39:21,920 –> 00:39:24,440
\nshoes as the Israelites started
\nout. <\/p>\n

502
\n00:39:25,520 –> 00:39:30,040
\nIt is a a healthy respect and
\nreference for God. <\/p>\n

503
\n00:39:30,320 –> 00:39:36,180
\nBut that underlying thought, as
\nI said before, our God is a <\/p>\n

504
\n00:39:36,180 –> 00:39:39,740
\nconsuming fire.
\nWe don’t tamper with God. <\/p>\n

505
\n00:39:40,580 –> 00:39:43,820
\nWe we don’t take the things of
\nGod, like, and that’s what Anna <\/p>\n

506
\n00:39:43,820 –> 00:39:47,180
\nand Safari did, didn’t they?
\nThey just didn’t have the fear <\/p>\n

507
\n00:39:47,180 –> 00:39:49,660
\nof God.
\nThey they thought, we’ll get <\/p>\n

508
\n00:39:49,660 –> 00:39:51,700
\naway with it, we’ll get some
\nadvantage. <\/p>\n

509
\n00:39:51,980 –> 00:39:54,700
\nAnd they didn’t see it as
\nsomething so terrible. <\/p>\n

510
\n00:39:55,580 –> 00:39:58,500
\nI thought, oh, well, that’s just
\na little bit of way of like <\/p>\n

511
\n00:39:58,780 –> 00:40:00,740
\nmaking extra money.
\nIt’s not hurting anybody. <\/p>\n

512
\n00:40:00,740 –> 00:40:02,020
\nAt least they’re getting half
\nthe money. <\/p>\n

513
\n00:40:02,020 –> 00:40:08,130
\nThey could get nothing.
\nBut it was tampering, tampering <\/p>\n

514
\n00:40:08,130 –> 00:40:14,170
\nwith God, And God answered in in
\nour most dramatic way. <\/p>\n

515
\n00:40:14,970 –> 00:40:18,050
\nAnd I think that’s a lot of our
\nproblem, isn’t it, that we tend <\/p>\n

516
\n00:40:18,050 –> 00:40:21,930
\nto play down the seriousness of
\nour sin? <\/p>\n

517
\n00:40:22,490 –> 00:40:26,170
\nWe tend to say, look, it’s only
\nsomething small, It doesn’t <\/p>\n

518
\n00:40:26,170 –> 00:40:28,730
\nmatter so much.
\nAnyway, just this once, it’s <\/p>\n

519
\n00:40:28,770 –> 00:40:35,310
\nokay and I think God goes out of
\nhis way in the Bible to to show <\/p>\n

520
\n00:40:35,310 –> 00:40:38,910
\nus again and again that that sin
\nis horrible. <\/p>\n

521
\n00:40:40,110 –> 00:40:41,830
\nAnd let’s look at it right at
\nthe beginning. <\/p>\n

522
\n00:40:41,990 –> 00:40:45,390
\nHe he started out OK, they took
\na fruit they were told not to <\/p>\n

523
\n00:40:45,390 –> 00:40:46,950
\ndo.
\nAnd we think, well, who suffers <\/p>\n

524
\n00:40:46,950 –> 00:40:49,070
\nfrom that weather?
\nWhat’s the real problem? <\/p>\n

525
\n00:40:50,150 –> 00:40:53,790
\nBut then God in the very next
\nsin recorded has a brother kill <\/p>\n

526
\n00:40:53,790 –> 00:40:57,230
\nhis own brother and says that’s
\nwhy it matters. <\/p>\n

527
\n00:40:58,230 –> 00:41:02,350
\nYou think just something little.
\nBut if it’s not my standard, <\/p>\n

528
\n00:41:02,350 –> 00:41:06,070
\nwhose standard is it?
\nThe next thing from just taking <\/p>\n

529
\n00:41:06,070 –> 00:41:07,590
\na piece of fruit is killing your
\nbrother. <\/p>\n

530
\n00:41:08,990 –> 00:41:12,630
\nAnd God gives us these two
\nextremes to to show to us that <\/p>\n

531
\n00:41:12,790 –> 00:41:16,430
\nsin is like this and sin is
\ndeadly. <\/p>\n

532
\n00:41:16,430 –> 00:41:18,110
\nWhy?
\nWhy does he use a second? <\/p>\n

533
\n00:41:18,710 –> 00:41:21,670
\nHe uses the most deadly animal
\nthat that we have. <\/p>\n

534
\n00:41:21,670 –> 00:41:25,510
\nBecause it bites you.
\nYou look OK, but inside that <\/p>\n

535
\n00:41:25,510 –> 00:41:29,560
\npoison is killing you.
\nYou look at the human kingdoms <\/p>\n

536
\n00:41:29,560 –> 00:41:33,680
\ndescribed in the Bible that are
\nare controlled by the flesh, <\/p>\n

537
\n00:41:33,680 –> 00:41:36,640
\ncontrolled by sin.
\nThey’re always grotesque <\/p>\n

538
\n00:41:36,640 –> 00:41:38,200
\nanimals.
\nWild animals. <\/p>\n

539
\n00:41:38,480 –> 00:41:41,160
\nDaniel Chapter 7 that kill and
\ndevour. <\/p>\n

540
\n00:41:41,160 –> 00:41:43,080
\nThey’re destructive.
\nWhy? <\/p>\n

541
\n00:41:43,080 –> 00:41:46,960
\nBecause God is telling us that
\nsin is destructive. <\/p>\n

542
\n00:41:46,960 –> 00:41:50,240
\nDon’t sin.
\nI have to. <\/p>\n

543
\n00:41:51,000 –> 00:41:54,040
\nI have to bring vengeance upon
\nsin. <\/p>\n

544
\n00:41:54,480 –> 00:41:58,060
\nSo don’t sin.
\nAnd of course if you do sin, <\/p>\n

545
\n00:41:58,740 –> 00:42:03,340
\nseek forgiveness and say sorry
\nabout it and a world that <\/p>\n

546
\n00:42:03,340 –> 00:42:19,340
\ndoesn’t has to be destroyed.
\nPhilippians Chapter 2 and here I<\/p>\n

547
\n00:42:19,340 –> 00:42:24,110
\nthink Paul brings together two
\nvery important principles <\/p>\n

548
\n00:42:24,390 –> 00:42:28,590
\nregarding our work.
\nRemembering that that fear, <\/p>\n

549
\n00:42:29,470 –> 00:42:36,190
\nremembering that that awe and
\nreverence is necessary, that we <\/p>\n

550
\n00:42:36,190 –> 00:42:40,590
\nmight be instructed, that we
\nmight learn that we might have <\/p>\n

551
\n00:42:40,590 –> 00:42:42,910
\nknowledge and wisdom.
\nFear of the Lord is the <\/p>\n

552
\n00:42:42,910 –> 00:42:46,550
\nbeginning of knowledge,
\ninstruction, wisdom. <\/p>\n

553
\n00:42:47,790 –> 00:42:54,320
\nOK, Livings 2 versus verse 12.
\nWherefore, my beloved, as ye <\/p>\n

554
\n00:42:54,320 –> 00:42:57,720
\nhave always obeyed, not in my
\npresence only, but now much more<\/p>\n

555
\n00:42:57,720 –> 00:43:03,480
\nin my absence, work out your own
\nsalvation with fear and <\/p>\n

556
\n00:43:03,480 –> 00:43:09,040
\ntrembling.
\nNow notice Paul is first of all <\/p>\n

557
\n00:43:09,040 –> 00:43:14,040
\npointing out in this chapter.
\nLook, don’t listen to me simply <\/p>\n

558
\n00:43:14,040 –> 00:43:16,400
\nbecause I’m there.
\nAnd while Paul’s saying it, you <\/p>\n

559
\n00:43:16,400 –> 00:43:18,440
\nknow, we don’t want to upset
\nPaul. <\/p>\n

560
\n00:43:18,600 –> 00:43:22,120
\nWe’re a bit afraid of Paul, so
\nwe have to agree with him. <\/p>\n

561
\n00:43:23,000 –> 00:43:25,320
\nNo, he says.
\nYou’ve done it in my presence. <\/p>\n

562
\n00:43:26,200 –> 00:43:28,320
\nNow do it much more in my
\nabsence, whether I’m there or <\/p>\n

563
\n00:43:28,320 –> 00:43:31,160
\nnot.
\nIt’s not a fear of me that <\/p>\n

564
\n00:43:31,160 –> 00:43:37,520
\nshould control your behavior.
\nIt’s not a fear of the of some <\/p>\n

565
\n00:43:37,560 –> 00:43:42,460
\nsenior brother or sister who
\nmight see us that controls our <\/p>\n

566
\n00:43:42,460 –> 00:43:47,580
\nbehavior.
\nWork out your own salvation with<\/p>\n

567
\n00:43:47,580 –> 00:43:50,100
\nfear and trembling.
\nIt’s up to you. <\/p>\n

568
\n00:43:52,020 –> 00:43:56,660
\nYou.
\nYou can’t depend on the faith <\/p>\n

569
\n00:43:56,660 –> 00:43:58,940
\nand control of your brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n

570
\n00:43:59,020 –> 00:44:03,420
\nUltimately it’s up to you and
\nyou having a relationship with <\/p>\n

571
\n00:44:03,420 –> 00:44:08,610
\nGod yourself where you fear God,
\nnot that the cleisure fears God <\/p>\n

572
\n00:44:08,610 –> 00:44:10,530
\nand you’re a member and so
\nthat’s the way it is. <\/p>\n

573
\n00:44:10,810 –> 00:44:14,050
\nYou personally have a fear of
\nGod. <\/p>\n

574
\n00:44:14,050 –> 00:44:20,810
\nI personally need a fear of God
\nand why do I need to have this? <\/p>\n

575
\n00:44:20,970 –> 00:44:23,090
\nHe says.
\nWhy do I need to have this <\/p>\n

576
\n00:44:23,090 –> 00:44:30,010
\nrespect for God verse 13.
\nBecause it is God that works in <\/p>\n

577
\n00:44:30,010 –> 00:44:34,290
\nyou both to will and to do of
\nhis good pleasure. <\/p>\n

578
\n00:44:36,780 –> 00:44:41,420
\nGod is the force that is working
\nin you, and if you don’t have <\/p>\n

579
\n00:44:41,420 –> 00:44:45,820
\nrespect to that, then there’s
\ngoing to be terrible chaos in <\/p>\n

580
\n00:44:45,820 –> 00:44:50,540
\nyour life.
\nYou have to acknowledge God’s <\/p>\n

581
\n00:44:50,540 –> 00:44:54,820
\nauthority, God’s power, because
\nthat’s the power that’s now <\/p>\n

582
\n00:44:54,820 –> 00:44:56,780
\ninside you in Christ Jesus
\nworking. <\/p>\n

583
\n00:44:58,440 –> 00:45:01,960
\nAnd it’s important that we tie
\nthese two verses together, as <\/p>\n

584
\n00:45:01,960 –> 00:45:06,200
\nPaul does, that we work out our
\nown salvation with fear and <\/p>\n

585
\n00:45:06,200 –> 00:45:08,920
\ntrembling.
\nAnd that’s not saying that we do<\/p>\n

586
\n00:45:08,920 –> 00:45:14,520
\nit ourselves.
\nThat’s saying because for it is <\/p>\n

587
\n00:45:14,520 –> 00:45:22,040
\nGod who’s working in you, and it
\nis God therefore that you must <\/p>\n

588
\n00:45:22,280 –> 00:45:25,240
\nrespect.
\nAnd if we don’t have that <\/p>\n

589
\n00:45:25,240 –> 00:45:30,100
\nrespect of God, then God cannot
\nwork in us. <\/p>\n

590
\n00:45:31,100 –> 00:45:37,100
\nGod can not do his will, He
\ncannot do his pleasure. <\/p>\n

591
\n00:45:38,300 –> 00:45:43,780
\nAnd so it’s necessary, even,
\nsays Paul, that right now we <\/p>\n

592
\n00:45:43,780 –> 00:45:46,660
\nhave this sense of fear before
\nGod. <\/p>\n

593
\n00:45:47,660 –> 00:45:51,580
\nAnd I think very often as
\nmembers of an ecleisure, we we <\/p>\n

594
\n00:45:51,580 –> 00:45:56,500
\ncan depend very much on the
\necleisure, perhaps sometimes <\/p>\n

595
\n00:45:56,500 –> 00:46:00,250
\neven too much, rather than
\ndepending on our God. <\/p>\n

596
\n00:46:00,730 –> 00:46:06,130
\nI think God taught Israel very
\nimportant lesson because they <\/p>\n

597
\n00:46:06,130 –> 00:46:09,690
\nwere a big congregation.
\nIt was very easy for them to <\/p>\n

598
\n00:46:09,690 –> 00:46:13,370
\nsort of just be one of a nation.
\nThey were born Israelites, so <\/p>\n

599
\n00:46:13,370 –> 00:46:15,690
\nwe’re God’s people.
\nThat’s the way it is. <\/p>\n

600
\n00:46:16,570 –> 00:46:20,890
\nIt was very easy for them to
\nlose a sense of an individual <\/p>\n

601
\n00:46:21,050 –> 00:46:26,850
\nrelationship with God And the
\nlaw which God gave through Horeb<\/p>\n

602
\n00:46:27,620 –> 00:46:33,020
\nagain and again brings us to the
\npoint of an individual <\/p>\n

603
\n00:46:33,340 –> 00:46:38,500
\nrelationship with God that we
\neach must have born of a fear of<\/p>\n

604
\n00:46:38,620 –> 00:46:42,860
\nhis great power and of his great
\nlove to call us to himself. <\/p>\n

605
\n00:46:43,340 –> 00:46:47,460
\nIt’s a little example of that if
\nyou just turn to the book of <\/p>\n

606
\n00:46:47,460 –> 00:46:49,620
\nLeviticus and the very
\nbeginning. <\/p>\n

607
\n00:46:49,620 –> 00:46:53,220
\nThe whole book is full of this,
\nbut just at the beginning of the<\/p>\n

608
\n00:46:53,220 –> 00:46:55,900
\nbook.
\nAs an example, Leviticus chapter<\/p>\n

609
\n00:46:55,900 –> 00:47:03,750
\nOne, the ridiculous one, is
\nabout the burnt offering that <\/p>\n

610
\n00:47:04,350 –> 00:47:09,670
\nhad to be brought by anybody who
\nwas going to approach the Lord <\/p>\n

611
\n00:47:09,670 –> 00:47:11,550
\nand wanted atonement for their
\nsin. <\/p>\n

612
\n00:47:13,310 –> 00:47:16,950
\nAnd we read in verse three of
\nthis offering that had to be <\/p>\n

613
\n00:47:16,950 –> 00:47:20,150
\nbrought and it was a male
\nwithout blemish. <\/p>\n

614
\n00:47:20,150 –> 00:47:23,270
\nSo of course it is the Lord
\nJesus Christ that is being <\/p>\n

615
\n00:47:23,270 –> 00:47:26,980
\ntalked about, the Lord Jesus
\nChrist, the one through whom we <\/p>\n

616
\n00:47:26,980 –> 00:47:34,660
\nhave the Atonement, first four,
\nAnd He shall put his hand upon <\/p>\n

617
\n00:47:34,660 –> 00:47:40,500
\nthe head of the burnt offering.
\nNow if you’ve got a reference <\/p>\n

618
\n00:47:40,500 –> 00:47:45,180
\nBible, you will find the cross
\nreference there gives you a host<\/p>\n

619
\n00:47:45,180 –> 00:47:49,820
\nof examples, and there are many,
\nmany more where the Bible tells <\/p>\n

620
\n00:47:49,820 –> 00:47:53,980
\nus you shall put your hand on
\nthe head of the offering. <\/p>\n

621
\n00:47:54,960 –> 00:47:57,480
\nWhy the head?
\nWhy not the side? <\/p>\n

622
\n00:47:57,560 –> 00:48:00,120
\nWhy not grab the tail?
\nWhy not the leg? <\/p>\n

623
\n00:48:00,960 –> 00:48:04,600
\nWhy the head?
\nBecause the head of the body is <\/p>\n

624
\n00:48:04,600 –> 00:48:11,360
\nChrist, and unless each one of
\nus has our own individual <\/p>\n

625
\n00:48:11,360 –> 00:48:16,680
\nrelationship with God through
\nChrist, we cannot go forward in <\/p>\n

626
\n00:48:16,680 –> 00:48:20,360
\nour growth.
\nYou cannot have a relationship <\/p>\n

627
\n00:48:20,360 –> 00:48:25,190
\nwith God by holding the leg,
\nsome strong member of the <\/p>\n

628
\n00:48:25,190 –> 00:48:30,590
\neclesia, by holding the side,
\nany other part of the body, <\/p>\n

629
\n00:48:30,590 –> 00:48:34,750
\nbecause you are not joining the
\neclesia, you’re joining God <\/p>\n

630
\n00:48:34,750 –> 00:48:37,990
\nthrough Christ.
\nThe hand must be on the head, <\/p>\n

631
\n00:48:38,590 –> 00:48:42,710
\nand then it will be accepted to
\nmake atonement for him. <\/p>\n

632
\n00:48:45,030 –> 00:48:50,570
\nAnd so it is that the fear of
\nGod is an important element in <\/p>\n

633
\n00:48:50,570 –> 00:48:54,130
\ndeveloping this individual
\nrelationship with God. <\/p>\n

634
\n00:48:55,450 –> 00:48:59,410
\nNot fear of the ecclesia, not
\nfear of family or brothers and <\/p>\n

635
\n00:48:59,410 –> 00:49:03,090
\nsisters.
\nFear of God through Christ <\/p>\n

636
\n00:49:03,090 –> 00:49:08,010
\nJesus.
\nAnd it’s for each one of us, if <\/p>\n

637
\n00:49:08,010 –> 00:49:13,610
\nwe are going to, if we are going
\nto walk in a way that draws us <\/p>\n

638
\n00:49:13,610 –> 00:49:17,530
\nclose to God, we’re going to
\nhave to remind ourselves <\/p>\n

639
\n00:49:17,530 –> 00:49:21,250
\nconstantly that this is where
\nour contact point has to be. <\/p>\n

640
\n00:49:21,530 –> 00:49:26,970
\nAnd it’s interesting that Paul
\nin Colossionist Chapter 2 picks <\/p>\n

641
\n00:49:26,970 –> 00:49:34,530
\nup on this point of holding the
\nhead and he says Colossionist 2 <\/p>\n

642
\n00:49:35,290 –> 00:49:42,490
\ntalking about those who were not
\nfearing God but seeking to puff <\/p>\n

643
\n00:49:42,490 –> 00:49:47,510
\nthemselves up.
\nHe says verse 19 not holding the<\/p>\n

644
\n00:49:47,510 –> 00:49:51,750
\nhead from which all a body by
\njoints and bands having <\/p>\n

645
\n00:49:51,750 –> 00:49:55,190
\nnourishment, administered and
\nknit together, increases with <\/p>\n

646
\n00:49:55,190 –> 00:50:00,590
\nthe increase of God.
\nIt’s essential that each one of <\/p>\n

647
\n00:50:00,590 –> 00:50:06,550
\nus hold on to the head, that
\neach one of us has our <\/p>\n

648
\n00:50:06,790 –> 00:50:10,510
\nindividual relationship with
\nChrist. <\/p>\n

649
\n00:50:11,910 –> 00:50:18,860
\nAnd even men, as we said, are of
\ngreat faith, were men and women <\/p>\n

650
\n00:50:19,380 –> 00:50:23,860
\nwho were required to experience,
\nsometimes again, the fear of <\/p>\n

651
\n00:50:23,860 –> 00:50:26,460
\nGod.
\nAnd Elijah, who we’re going to <\/p>\n

652
\n00:50:26,460 –> 00:50:30,900
\nlook at more in our next study,
\nis one who had to go back to <\/p>\n

653
\n00:50:30,940 –> 00:50:37,060
\nHoreb to learn this lesson, that
\nhe was small, he was nothing, <\/p>\n

654
\n00:50:37,580 –> 00:50:42,320
\nthat God was everything.
\nJust let us close by taking <\/p>\n

655
\n00:50:42,720 –> 00:50:49,960
\nthoughts from that experience in
\nFirst Kings and Chapter 18, <\/p>\n

656
\n00:50:51,920 –> 00:50:55,440
\nChapter 19.
\nRather, this is after the Carmel<\/p>\n

657
\n00:50:55,440 –> 00:50:59,440
\nexperience in First Kings
\nChapter 19. <\/p>\n

658
\n00:51:00,520 –> 00:51:06,640
\nAnd here is Elijah, feeling
\ndistressed, and he’s run all the<\/p>\n

659
\n00:51:06,640 –> 00:51:12,560
\nway down to Hoeb.
\nWe find in verse 11 of First <\/p>\n

660
\n00:51:12,560 –> 00:51:18,320
\nKings 19 that the Lord passed
\nby, and a great and strong wind <\/p>\n

661
\n00:51:18,320 –> 00:51:21,960
\nrent the mountains and break in
\npieces of rocks before the Lord.<\/p>\n

662
\n00:51:22,720 –> 00:51:25,960
\nBut the Lord was not in the
\nwind, not the wind and <\/p>\n

663
\n00:51:25,960 –> 00:51:27,800
\nearthquake.
\nBut the Lord was not in the <\/p>\n

664
\n00:51:27,800 –> 00:51:30,800
\nearthquake, and after the
\nearthquake of fire. <\/p>\n

665
\n00:51:30,800 –> 00:51:36,360
\nBut the Lord was not in the
\nfire, and after the fire a still<\/p>\n

666
\n00:51:36,640 –> 00:51:41,980
\nsmall voice.
\nNow Elijah had just done <\/p>\n

667
\n00:51:41,980 –> 00:51:47,540
\ndramatic things.
\nHe just put the fear of God into<\/p>\n

668
\n00:51:47,540 –> 00:51:50,940
\nthe people by slaying 400
\nprophets of bail. <\/p>\n

669
\n00:51:53,220 –> 00:51:59,260
\nBut here God is having to say to
\nElijah, you also Elijah, you <\/p>\n

670
\n00:51:59,260 –> 00:52:05,020
\nneed the fear of God.
\nHe brought great power, he said.<\/p>\n

671
\n00:52:05,020 –> 00:52:07,100
\nBut Elijah, I’m not always in
\nthat. <\/p>\n

672
\n00:52:09,010 –> 00:52:13,370
\nAnd it was through the still
\nsmall voice which, when when <\/p>\n

673
\n00:52:13,370 –> 00:52:17,530
\nElijah heard it, he wrapped his
\nface in his mantle and went out <\/p>\n

674
\n00:52:17,530 –> 00:52:20,210
\nand stood.
\nThat still small voice was <\/p>\n

675
\n00:52:20,850 –> 00:52:24,850
\nalmost more frightening than
\nthese great signs of power. <\/p>\n

676
\n00:52:25,970 –> 00:52:30,850
\nElijah had to be humbled.
\nHe had to be instructed that, <\/p>\n

677
\n00:52:30,850 –> 00:52:34,490
\nElijah, you are nothing.
\nI don’t need you, Elijah. <\/p>\n

678
\n00:52:34,880 –> 00:52:37,400
\nI’ve got 7000.
\nPeople in Israel have about the <\/p>\n

679
\n00:52:37,400 –> 00:52:40,000
\nneed to bail.
\nIf you want retirement, Elijah, <\/p>\n

680
\n00:52:40,000 –> 00:52:42,440
\nthat’s fine.
\nI’ll appoint somebody else. <\/p>\n

681
\n00:52:42,600 –> 00:52:45,480
\nThat’s not a problem for me.
\nYou’re not indispensable. <\/p>\n

682
\n00:52:46,080 –> 00:52:52,400
\nHe thought he was.
\nHe’d lost to some degree, his <\/p>\n

683
\n00:52:52,400 –> 00:52:55,520
\nfear of God.
\nThat he was nothing. <\/p>\n

684
\n00:52:56,040 –> 00:52:59,280
\nThat God was everything.
\nThat it wasn’t he. <\/p>\n

685
\n00:52:59,920 –> 00:53:03,570
\nI alone am left, and I rely to
\nyou you’re not. <\/p>\n

686
\n00:53:03,770 –> 00:53:06,890
\nIt is God that worketh in you to
\nwill and do of his good <\/p>\n

687
\n00:53:06,890 –> 00:53:11,530
\npleasure.
\nAnd we have to remember that <\/p>\n

688
\n00:53:11,890 –> 00:53:15,730
\nthat will humble us, to realize
\nthat we are nothing. <\/p>\n

689
\n00:53:18,130 –> 00:53:23,610
\nSo here we stand, brother and
\nsisters, stand now centuries <\/p>\n

690
\n00:53:23,610 –> 00:53:31,610
\nlater, but still standing in awe
\nof the great and mighty God. <\/p>\n

691
\n00:53:33,570 –> 00:53:37,850
\nYou know of him because of his
\ngreat power, but because of his <\/p>\n

692
\n00:53:37,850 –> 00:53:41,970
\ngreat love.
\nAnd we hear the still small <\/p>\n

693
\n00:53:41,970 –> 00:53:46,850
\nvoice and we almost wrap
\nourselves in embarrassment and <\/p>\n

694
\n00:53:46,850 –> 00:53:50,010
\nthink, is that is that really
\ncalling me? <\/p>\n

695
\n00:53:50,970 –> 00:53:58,570
\nAnd it is God is calling us to
\nrespond to journey to the <\/p>\n

696
\n00:53:58,570 –> 00:54:02,380
\nPromised Land.
\nWe’ll begin our journey with <\/p>\n

697
\n00:54:02,380 –> 00:54:05,420
\nfear.
\nThat fear grows to a holy <\/p>\n

698
\n00:54:05,420 –> 00:54:11,820
\nreverence that we can walk
\nhumbly with our God until Jesus <\/p>\n

699
\n00:54:11,820 –> 00:54:27,300
\ncomes.
