August 10 2025 Word: The Fear of the Lord

When My people understand who they are in Me, then they will get up out of the muck and build up their broken walls, to be able to run in Me.

As it is, many love their muck and broken walls. It’s easier to live like that than to get up and let Me wash them and work with Me to build up the broken walls of their lives.
(Isaiah 58:12, 61:4… the ancient walls… God’s divine plan for our lives as His children)

I AM the Lord. I want to be known as both Lord and Friend. But I cannot be Friend only. I will not be.

There is an overfamiliarity in the American Church with Me as Friend because of the messaging of grace for the last few decades.
(Overfamiliarity. Dumbed down holiness. Lowering/lessening of biblical convictions.)
(If we look at the sun for just a little while too long, it will burn our eyeballs!!! Yet many believers think nothing of approaching the throne of the God who created the sun without reverence for HIS absolute holiness…)

I am full of grace for My people. Mountains and mountains of it. But people have not walked in My grace, they’ve only talked about it, while they keep living life on their own terms, making their own plans: Life their way. This is everyone doing as they see fit.
(Judges 21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.)

To be walking in My grace and accessing it for living, a person must walk with Me closely. They must give up their own ways of doing and living.

My Word is full of My instructions for life. They are clear. My commands are clear: Love the Lord! Love people! Hear and obey My voice! These are clear and direct commands. Yet people don’t, they don’t love the way I’ve shown them, BUT they want My grace.
(Psychology… self-excusing, validating… therapeutic sentimentalism…)
(Accepting the Word of God is the authority in our lives, allowing it to shape and changes us, correct us!)

I want My people to understand the fear of the Lord, so they can walk in My ways.

To walk by My Spirit, people must walk in the fear of the Lord…

This is knowing Me as MASTER, as LORD, as KING, as the HOLY ONE.

There is a maturity that must come upon the body of Christ: to walk with Me, and know Me, and follow Me at much higher levels than previous decades or generations here in the US. This is required of My people in this hour.
