- Did you know that Half-Hearted Obedience is Disobedience?
Be honest - do you treat God casually without much thought or reverence? Is your relationship marked by flippant shallowness versus deep intimate awe? Do you obey only when convenient or seek to glorify Him with all that you are?
In this convicting yet uplifting message, I share hard but necessary truths about the forgotten fear of the Lord.
God deeply desires close friendship with us, but it requires that we rightly fear and honor Him. Are you treating the Lord as commonplace? Join me as we remember why our awesome God deserves our awe and wholehearted obedience. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom! Rediscover this lost gift today by Escaping the Trap of Casual Christianity

What if he's asking you to fly into towers? I hope not
@@ryanjosephlockthat's not God. That's a false religion. If you read the Bible, you will know that was an evil act by deceived people. It is VERY clear that we are meant to love one another. Even our enemies. That's doesn't mean we allow our enemies to kill is or our friends, which is why we have a 2nd amendment.
I have been basking His presence for the past 10 months! It feels the same I felt when I first met Him. I don’t ever want to be without out Him ever. 🙌🏽🔥
I want that
I had it then lost it. How do I have it back? What do you do?
@@breatheeasily4013 worship! Look up Fresh Oil Chris Garcia. Watch his videos and learn to sit in the Presence of the Lord. Your first love will return even your desire to have it back is the beginning of coming back to Him!
@@breatheeasily4013it might be God teaching you to not rely on feeling but on the truth of the word of God, that He’s not just a feeling but a person. But also, if you meet God everyday in prayer and the word, you will begin to be able to hear Him more and more. God’s always with us, He’s always talking to us… but our when our flesh is too strong it clouds our hearts, ears, eyes, and minds. Every day seek the Lord, and also prayer open honest prayers, pour your heart out before Jesus as it is. Matthew 11:28-30. Jeremiah 29:13-14. He yearns for you, He does not without Himself or any good thing from us; so either He’s teaching us through it or we may not be drawing near so we can hear Him. ❤
@@breatheeasily4013 but also don’t think there’s anything wrong with “not hearing from God” because sometimes He calls us to just be with Him and not require any word of anything from Him, you know? And don’t overcomplicate Jesus’s love for you, it is so simple and pure, straightforward and without confusion. He loves you and we can begin to fathom the infinite depths of His loves for us when we look at the cross! So you can rest in His love for you and just know Him rather than feel you have to do anything for Him. We we loves Him, just Him, that’s when fruits with come, but we shouldn’t try to produce fruits of ourselves (even if it’s out of a desire to please God). Read Matthew 11:28-30, and Matthew 6:33. Jesus is with you always, whether you feel like it or not🩷❤️
❤😊 amen and Amen brother 🙏 and pastor ❤
Take the next step in faith. Don’t be afraid. God’s got you. ♥
I was about to die from an overdose in my apartment in Miami all alone after so many different drugs…I went to grab my phone and I couldn’t even see what I pressed and out of no where UA-cam started and this song played. My heart was beating out of my chest and then the room turned white and I felt at peace. My heart slowed down and I survived. Jesus Christ is real people. He saved my life.
Praise God,
Never stop proclaiming your testimony!
It’s powerful.
WOW 😳😳😳. That’s incredible!!!
Oh MIGHTY GOD JESUS THE CHRIST
Thank you Lord
You know all of our needs and provide . This sermon came at the right time. Halleluyah, To God be the Glory
I’ve noticed that many churches, including many mega churches, no longer teach, or disciple, their congregation to spread the gospel. It’s all about entertainment, and keeping people in the seats. Nowadays, people are more concerned about losing their, “inside the sanctuary coffee privilege”, than actually telling others about Jesus. Here’s the truth - - if you don’t tell other people about Jesus Christ, then you don’t have the Holy Spirit.
If you don’t receive the gift, the way the disciples of Jesus received it then you will never have the boldness to tell others. You’ll just be another victim of implosion Christianity led by comedians and entertainers. Seek the boldness to share Jesus-the time is short- let’s bring some people to the party in the sky!!!!
may i always remember the power that God possesses and FEAR him. such a good message that just makes u think about all the many ways God moves in our lives.
Please pray for Tyler and Stephanie for salvation ❤
I love the Lord, but also am terrified of being without HIM, this is part of what leads us to repentances, and being constantly delivered from our sin, and our past, and old spirits and curses. … I just heard, “read Psalm 23,” … I am so thankful the Lord loves me, too!! 🕊️
All glory to God! So happy I found this channel today!! ❤❤
The fear of the Lord is a beautiful thing and He loves you
I'm so thankful to God that John Bevere has remained stedfast throughout the years. That was a great message.
I feel born again after this sermon .
Introspection to God's kids.... Who sat down and have done introspection... Ask God, please Lord show me where I need to do more work so that I can be spotless in your presence. Words, thoughts, actions, habits, pride, division, perseption, status - to think you are better than others, the love of money, parental in print that does not glorify God.. Change me Abba Father for I am a sinner and please wash me clean and spotless so I can be more of You and less of me.... In Jesus name.
Thank you Pastor for reminding us regularly the importance of the fear of GOD and intimacy with HIM.
Your God dead
Praise the Living God!!! ✝️ ❤️ 📖
I’ve been literally crying about this for a few years now. It really hurts his feelings. Therefore mine too. Once I got so angry about a church having a light show instead of true prayer service that I was forced to rebuke them about it and leave.
Please keep my wife n I in your prayers!! We are 3 months back on rent. I gotta good job Toyota but lost it a week later cause I failed the gpc training. Then I was doing door dash, Uber delivery and spark but our car just broke down then a day later later have body aches soar throat fever and coughing. Please just keep us in y'all's prayers thank you!!
I pray for a divine turnaround for you and your family - in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
@@lebom9102 AMEN!! Thank you!!
Chris, may God bless you and your wife. Keep your eyes on Him, He will provide!! I pray you will be blessed with a great job. God will use you as a vessel to provide for your family and so I pray for God to give you strength to lead your family God’s way and I pray for your wife to remain faithful and trusting in the Lord’s promises as well. God will take care of you, may more blessings come your way! In Jesus name, Amen
@@jessikaaa330 AMEN AMEN!! I receive in JESUS name AMEN!! Thank you!! May GOD BLESS YOU TOO!!
"The Fear of the Lord is to be terrified to be away from Him." John Bevere
Anyone reading this, if you haven't repented yet, please REPENT, FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND.
Lord Jesus✝️have mercy on you🙏
❤😊 thank you to heavenly Father I receive that in Jesus name amen 🙏 the holy Spirit of the Lord amen 🙏💕🙏
oh how i wish more preachers taught the fear of GOD, i love your preaching
True! Proverbs 9:10: "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." It's when you fear and revere God that you get wisdom. Christianity that doesn't emphasize this doesn't have God's wisdom.
This was posted 5 min ago and was the exact thing I needed to hear, truly believe God led me to this video as I’ve been praying praying for weeks now trying to understand what I’m doing wrong like, why my soul feels downcast, why I’m spending time in His Word but not feeling His presence. I literally just read Psalm 19 just now and was pondering over it, just yesterday I was praying about how I want to fear the Lord more. This is the message I needed to hear at God’s perfect timing. Thank you.
me too. ❤
🙏❤️
Same here
Do you go to a wedding dressed as you go to church? Do you go to a funeral dressed as you go to church? WHY NOT YOUR BEST FOR THE KING OF KINGS & LORD OF LORD'S 📖❤️
Take every thought captive. Make sure I’m everything at all times you make your decision with a heart toward God.
Helping someone? Make sure your doing it draw them near to God and doing it to show the love you have from God.
If you go to church, help people, speak great things, do really awesome service for people, volunteer for everything, and your doing it for perception of the people you are helping to make your self look good. Your reward has already been paid.
Do everything out of the love and fear for the Lord.
The last thing you want to hear in the end is: be gone from me I did not know you.
God is always the initiator. It is always God's GLORY first. He is the one that is knocking at our hearts door first. Yes, we have to choose to open the door to God. BUT, it is God, always, that gives us the opportunity to make Him Lord, because it is His strength, His provision, His revelation, His protection, His salvation(HIS GLORY) that makes it possible for us to choose Him. This is so very important distinction in this truth. Bless you
My thoughts exactly. Lest any man should boast.
" He who holds onto the end will be saved?????? @@marktinker9587
John 6:44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
This has got to be one of the most powerful sermons out there! God, this really got to me.
You made me notice how I don't have fear in the lord thank youu🙏
THIS IS LITERALLY THE BEST PREACHING EVER! YOU CAN FEEL THE ANOINTING AND HOLY SPIRIT THROUGH IT!!! SO TRUE, THE FIRE, & LAUGHTER THIS BROUGHT TO MY SOUL IS AMAZING! THANK YOU JESUS FOR YOU BROTHER IN CHRIST!❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
One of the most incredible, most powerful, most spirit filled sermons I have ever heard.
Thank you John
Thank you Holy Spirit
Thank you Jesus
Thank you Father
I live a life without any accomplishment sulking thinkhin but no matter how i think its always a dead end i went to church only when im stress depress and forget about it when im well and happy it goes on like that calling him when i need him praying but forget about him when im well .but this time i can feel the difference please pray for me for i want to seek him pray for me so i wont give up untill im with him🙏🙏
Am so happy I was lead to listen to this sermon.
What John is saying is true. God is no respecter of persons. Seek Him,, and He will respond to you the same. And I am saying this to myself as much as I am saying it to you.
Make it a habit that no matter what you will read the Bible some everyday, even if it’s just 5 min everyday at first. Jeremiah 29:13-2. Jesus loves you so much and longs for you to know Him, He isn’t angry, read Matthew 11:28-30.
The glory of God is unmatched.
I remember being at a Promise Keepers meeting in Columbus, Ohio. We started singing "Holy, Holy, Holy" about 2 minutes into the song we felt the presence of God sweep over that arena. Everyone started looking around as if to say what's going on?
Thank You, Jesus❤ I truly don’t deserve You 🥺🙏🏽
Amen, we are nothing without Him. 🙏🏽 Jesus Culture’s song “Move.”
This was the first time I’ve ever listened to one of Pastor John Bevere’s messages I must this was tailored for me.
“For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs-heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
Romans 8:15-17 NKJV
Amen and Amen .
No words for how much I needed to hear this, i want to rewind it and listen again - thank you so much Pastor 🙏 and praise God for listening to my thoughts and my prayers. He always knows what I need, when I need it. I feel like he was speaking directly to me. Thank you my Lord my Saviour ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
So much YES!!! Same. I am so grateful for His grace to bring me back to myself in Him. 💚
Prayers
This is so profound and extremely powerful!!!!! This is what I'm hungry for, this is what I need more of. I am guilty of not fearing the Lord but what I wanted so much. Thank you John for this special sermon. This what our nation needs is to fear the Lord God our King. I will watch this again and I shared this with my friends too. I want my family to see this they are not believers. O how I pray they will be.
Trust and Obey through holy fear unto God ❤❤
God gives us the desire to draw close to him .
Thank you Pastor, the Holy Spirit is speaking to his people 🙏🏽
We can’t get any close to the father than we are right now.
We may become more aware of his presence, but we will never be as close to him as we are right now.
I love your speaking the truth of God’s Word. Too many preach a false grace that gets us nowhere, but robs us of a life that God wants for us. Thank you John!
"For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father." "Fearing God" means to honor him, as "Abba" our Father. It has nothing to do with being afraid of punishment.
THIS IS THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!
No it's not the gospel!
I know Jesus Christ. I have a relationship with Him. How do I find Him?
I seek the Word of God. I did not know Jesus until I read the book of Mathew.
I reached a stage where I no longer follow preachers, because the Holy Spirit is with me and I have the knowledge of the Word of God.
Few months ago the Holy Spirit strongly convicted my heart to stay away from preachers on Facebook or UA-cam. I understand the warning.
Excellent Word, thank you for being faithful to our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit! 🎉🎉
God help me! This message is for me, I want to be closer to you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
His book is amazing! Really got me thinking about my own fear of God
I love my church because we are all about hosting the presence and glory. There’s no coffee. We are not seeker friendly. We are going after the Lord with fear and trembling. We still have a long way to go and I’m not saying I’ve arrived but one thing about our church it’s not about you! It’s about Him 😭🙌🏽❤️
Amen 🙏 🎉
❤Thank you Holy Spirit ❤
This is the message i have been waiting for in my Christian walk. I was missing this sermon. Thank you Jesus for giving the pastor this message. It was like you were talking to me. God bless you pastor
Amen!! I feel the same way, this was a huge blessing to me❤️

I deeply needed this message
Awesome sermon!!! ❤ God bless!
since my narcissist son in law has taken our daughter and 2 beautiful grandaughters hostage after 8 yrs of loving them, our life is haunted...wherever we go, whatever we do , reminds us of them, their laughter..fishing, gardening, piano all of it echoes in our head with no hope of ever seeing or talking to them again...the trail to our cabin still holds images of them skipping and running into our arms..so happy to see us..sad to hike home..we r mid 70s now..both of us use walkers..but the emotional pain we r in is much more devastating..it is hard to be around happy grandparents who get their grandchildren and i feel abandoned by God..😢😢 our son built our daughter a nice home not far away just to get this narcissist off our property..he tried to hurt my husband 2 times and had to call the police...we r both x Texas State Troopers...this is a very strong attack from satan and feels like he's winning...
Praying that God breaks the ungodly soul ties between your son-in-law and daughter. Praying for conviction, to be uncomfortable in his sin and his salvation. Praying for your daughter and grandchildren’s protection. Praying that God bring in a spirit of reconciliation. Praying Holy Spirit comfort and peace over you and your husband. Pray a hedge of protection over your daughter and grandchildren. Stand in agreement and begin to speak the word over them. Speak confusion into the enemies camp, take ea stance in the spiritual realm as Jesus Christ has given you power in Him to pull down strongholds and stand in the gap! Praying God will strengthen you in the power of His might! Take back what the enemy has stolen by getting in the presence of God as He fights your battles but He wants you to fight with faith in Him knowing He is more than able to defeat the enemy for you! I pray this helps. Your son-n-law fears what he doesn’t know and understand. Love him and if you struggle with that ask God to show you how to love him….God knows his heart and says we are to pray for our enemies and those who despitefully use you and He can if it’s His will remove him. Bind up that narcissist spirit….that allows Holy Spirit to minister to him can’t he do that without you?? Yes but He desires to work with, in and through you as this will build your faith, hope and trust in Him who is able to do more than you can ask or imagine! Do not attempt at this time to cast out this demonic spirit unless God tells you to. People do this all the time and it is a grave mistake. To bind up allows Holy Spirit to move and help them to see their sin, repent and accept Jesus. Does this mean that Holy Spirit won’t do the same if we cast it out, isn’t that better to completely remove that spirit? Yes and no. Again God knows their heart and if they are not ready to receive or not in a place spiritually to accept when you cast the spirit out instead of binding it and they are not ready… then that spirit comes back after seeking for a place to reside and that person’s spirit (home) is not filled with Holy Spirit is not right with Jesus, that spirit sees an empty house and brings seven more spirits worse than it and fills that void! Only cast out a demonic presence from an individual if you are led of the Lord to do so.
@@carolynalcina9954
thanku for taking the time to respond with a very strong and appropriate reply to our demise..i don't fully understand if his demons can transfer to our daughter in sexual union but when God says to not be unequally yoked..we get it now..she was borne again at 12 and deep into spiritual understandings but he came in as a gonna be pentacost preacher and duped us all...we will pray confusion in the enemies camp like u suggested..those girls r not allowed to have friends, neither is my daughter..he also has a concealed carry license and likes to shoot his 357 magnum out the back door when he gets mad..now he has isolated..i see dire circumstances but i believe God can bring victory..we r on our 70s now and find this very difficult
My dear Sister, let’s take it to the Bible, so we are reminded satan has not won and will never win (Revelations 20:10). Those who do his bidding will also not win (Revelations 20:15). Hold steadfast in faith and keep praying.
I’m so sorry you are going through that. I know what it’s like year after year to not see your grandchildren because of your children’s partners. I also know what it’s like to feel your heart break over how much they’ve grown when you live off of memories when they were younger that play over and over in your mind. Then, when a photo is finally shared with you by someone else or found online you see the time lost. It places a gut-wrenching hurt because of the missed time and memories. I understand. I, we my sister, have God and let’s keep reaching to Him for the safety and salvation of our children and grandchildren. I not only pray for deliverance of the stronghold from the in-law, but their salvation. I have to, so bitterness doesn’t set in.
So I said all that to say, satan has not won and the story is not yet finished. Lay it at the foot of the cross and give it to God. I pray you will be filled with His peace in the Mighty Name of Yeshua, amein. God bless you.
