The second wisest man the world has ever known said : "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." ~ Ecclesiastes 12:13
Much love from South Africa, you are doing alot for me and calming me down I've been through the worst year of my life till this point and I'm hanging on by a thread and your videos have been so calming and helping, thank you sir
I hate my sins so much! There's sins that i keep committing over and over, and i hate it. My flesh is weak, but i won't give up on turning from those sins. I've been praying for strength and forgiveness and deliverance. Please pray for me 😢
Turning from sin to conquer our flesh is not Biblically sound doctrine. Even the thought of foolishness is sin ‘Proverbs 24:9. Believing the Gospel found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 is sound doctrine.
The fact that you are penitent is the right path, if you didn't care then I'd start to worry. We will sin till the day we die, talk to our Lord he will guide you, you need to walk up the mountain, not sprint.
Galatians 5:16 "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." Believe that the Lord can AND will deliver you out of your struggles. Mark 11:24 "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." It will be done in accordance for His will for you.
Thank you Dewayne. I’m female from Uk and you really speak to me in the way I need it. Started with horse channel (no horses 😂) but I’m here because of Christ having found me irrespective. Don’t stop doing this. In the pure way you do.
I also started with the horses channel,. Just soaking up life advice. And i just could sense there was something special about Uncle. I could tell he had the fear of God even without him preaching. So, it was not too much of a surprise to me when he started a Christian channel. Nice to meet you
I love the casual look!! ❤ Thank you for all your wisdom. Especially in building up the men in this world- you're such a weapon against the enemy and hope for the future!
My father taught me a long time ago regarding sin and pride that were more deep and inward outward " if we fear God we wouldn't worship an earthly country more than his heavenly kingdom and country and exchange it for any country - USA or any country . The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. Amen .Thank you .
D’Wayne, I fear God and I am battling with the cravings of the flesh. My biggest issue is getting to know people, and I pray about it everyday. My past hasn’t presented me with very great influences and I am afraid of being that bad influence for my fellow Christian brother’s / sister’s. After highschool I used to smoke weed every single day, a habbit that I have realised ruined my life. I have no self control over the cravings of the flesh, but I am rounding the corner of being a month sober. My faith in Christ and fear of God is the only thing keeping me from breaking, as well as your video’s. Although I have such a strong feeling that I need to connect with my church leaders more, and confess my sins, this fear of getting to know people haunts me everyday.
Good on you for your month of sobriety from weed. I was also a daily all day smoker for 10 plus years but the Lord helped me get away from it. It gets much easier believe me. Be careful of getting to know people, a lot of people in church buildings are wolves in sheep's clothing. Christ often wants us in isolation. I learn more from people like Dewayne and others online than I ever could from a church building.
Hey I used to be a stoner for years and recently fell back into the habit and weed is the number one reason you struggle with the flesh, especially sexual immorality and I realized that because I also kept falling back into this struggle with my sin As long as you realize that you don't lose your salvation everytime you sin, but also that you are sowing death into your life. You need to let go of the selfish desires of your heart and seek the will of God and ask for a pure heart.
Keep it up. The closer your relationship is with God the less sin is a factor. We are all sinful but I find the more I pray and keep in open communication the less I want or feel like sinning. 1st month is the hardest when quitting; after the 3rd month only problems make you want to return to that lifestyle
During covid I read the 1689 Westminster Confessional which was written by men who could have been put to death for writing it. Let that sink in. It defines and explains God’s bible in the clearest way man could explain at the time. Remember in 1689 the KJV had not been out long and people were just learning what God had said in the bible. What I drew from this book was how magnificent, holy, righteous and powerful our God is! How much He is utterly worthy of our worship and yes fear. He actually became GOD sized to me and with this revelation I realized how our modern church is all consumed with HOW TO and WHAT TO and has completely missed WHO TO and WHY TO. I am also adrift without a church building, but not without my God or faith as I wait for “wise” worshipers. I know others are out there because I see videos like this and I think, this is God willowing us. I need to be patient, God is MAGNIFICENT and I am waiting on HIM. Dwayne these videos are very helpful. Thank you
We left our assembly a year and a half ago, much for the same reasons you gave. Didn't leave with hard feelings or arguments, just felt like we needed to get out. We have started meeting in our home with another couple and our children and it has been good to have the fellowship and worship together again. I absolutely agree that there is little to zero repentance on churches today. I've even heard it said by people in church that if you repent after you're saved, you are relying on works to save you. A healthy fear of God leads us to repentance. A healthy fear of His judgement and knowing we will stand in front of Him someday and give an account of our life will cause us to want to clean up our lives and get the junk out. Thanks again for sharing this!
If only you were based in Oregon, I'd say come to Athey Creek! Our pastor truly fears God and seeks out God's holiness in each and every teaching. A truly blessed assembly of God-fearing people who are plain, Bible-based folks.
Great message! The fear of God is truly missing in much of the Modern American Church. I've certainly been one. Thank you for sharing. We become what/who we behold. If we fear the sin, that is what we behold. But if we fear God. Then that is what we Behold. Ley us keep our eyes on Jesus. :)
In the beginning i did not even want to understand the concept of Fearing God. But now after this Video..... believe me, i understand it. THANK YOU Dewayne🙏
Fear of repercussions has saved my life numerous times. I have even been extremely high on psychedelic drugs and was concerned about the repercussions enough to do the right thing.
Through Jesus Christ we are to be more than conquerors of sin, and Dwayne you may think of yourself as nobody as you've said before. That's humility to a degree, but you are somebody, you are a child of God through Jesus Christ and it very much shows in my opinion. God's wisdom shines through and you clearly want to listen. Thank you for doing these videos good sir and I look forward to more.
Every day I pray to God that I do not live today in self-delusion or ignorance of His will and expectations. One pragmatic concept I use to keep myself from becoming a prideful "know it all" is the concept of the Dunning Kruger Effect, where you're so prideful in your own intelligence that you ignore all critique and wander in a horrifying state of unrepentant ignorance. God has been absurdly kind in putting up with my decade of hedonistic atheism. There is nothing that terrifies me than losing the faith or favor that Jesus Christ gifted me with. Me and the woman I love are seeking a church that respects God and His word as sacred ends. Everything you've spoken about is absolutely true to a point where both of us pray before we take any step inside and outside our homes.
I think your 100 percent right, no fear, most people only look at one character of GOD that’s love, so most people think they can act anyway they want, no fear. Also people put their trust in others and not what God said about things. Dewayne probably won’t see this, but I have really enjoy your teaching on this new platform.
Man this hits home. All these motivational books these days are self serving, thank God for the Bible for being our ultimate source of wisdom! Thanks for reminding us the awesomeness of biblical manhood because it is truly a beautiful thing when a man is strong and leads. Great reminder to chew on!
Listening to you share about focusing on Christ, I was reminded of the old hymn (and I'm tearing up a bit as I type this): "O soul, are you weary and troubled? No light in the darkness, you see? There's light for a look at the Savior and life more abundant and free... TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS, LOOK FULL IN HIS WONDERFUL FACE AND THE THINGS OF EARTH WILL GROW STRANGELY DIM, IN THE LIGHT OF HIS GLORY AND GRACE."
Hey DeWayne, I've had many people argue that to fear God just means to being in awe of him. I tell them they can have awe by seeing Mount Rushmore. But Jesus spoke about fearing God in context of don't forget who can drop you into hell. That's the one you should fear.
For many years I was a Christian, but found myself beyond victory over my sins that I kept on going back to. But all that changed when I became serious, and started reading my Bible every day. I set apart the first of my day to be with God in prayer, and the reading of his word. Before I dedicated myself to that, I really did not like reading very often, sometimes I would read a book, but then I would go a long time without doing so. I don't read very fast, so it takes me a long time to absorb what I read and that might be a reason why I was always hesitant. But after reading the Bible through in a year, and then many times more now through the New Testament, Proverbs, and Psalms. I have noticed a leap in spiritual growth within me and a greater cognizance of the presence of God, also greater faith. I know firsthand God's faithfulness, and I can see how Jesus has always been there in my life chasing after me. Thanks for the lesson on the fear of God. That has always been a confusing thing to get my head around because most people don't even know what that means entirely. Have you ever read The Cost of Discipleship, by Dietrich Bonhoeffer?
Thank you Dwayne, Well said; Matthew 10:28 KJV "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." I share your concern for assemblies which are led by individuals who are more terrified to face the displeasure of man than the displeasure of God. I believe that “Therein lies the problem”. One cannot fear a God whom he cannot see if his heart has been captured by the "fear of man" whom he can see. Galatians 1:10 KJV "For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ". For the church to live in the actual fear of God it will first need to find deliverance from the fear of man. Proverbs 29:25 KJV "The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe". May God grant "me" the grace day by day to live true to my own exhortation for herein have I failed and repented with Godly sorrow many times. To overcome I shall keep my eyes on Jesus and not man. Thank you!
I love this! Thanks for sharing. The fear of the lord is the secret to your prayer life, the secret to your financial stability, the secret to the wellness of your mind, and it’s the secret to a happy marriage, and I could go on and on. Nothing is more important in life than fearing the Lord. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man! People do not keep his commandments, because they do not fear God. My whole life changed when I started fearing the Lord, obeying his commandments and reading my bible daily. I'm truly blessed now because of it. ❤
I am super new to Christianity and submitting to god. Within the past week. I have done so much work diligently and obsessively on myself to be the best man I can be for myself but more importantly for others. I’ve felt so much pain in the last 3 years at the same time. It’s been a fight for survival to be quite frank. I came to a point in which despite all of my efforts I lost my optimism and hope a week ago. I felt myself slipping from what I had built myself up to be. I’ve been met with a lot of rejection and betrayal through an ex lover and with people in general throughout my life but I never chose to be jaded. I always chose to love more and to keep on trying to keep on giving everything I had. Well in the past week I chose to submit myself to god in private. I know that the Bible mentions to not be ashamed of faith. I want to keep it to myself while I nourish it though. I truly believe that faith is exactly what I need and quite possibly the only thing I need to free myself of the above after 33 years of life. So with all of this being said I truly appreciate your videos as they are not embellished. It’s taken straight from scripture. I have watched all of your videos within this week and I am so grateful for them. Thank you 🙏🏼
Awesome. Please don’t be discouraged. Discouragement is a big weapon of the enemy and he will attack you at some point. If you feel discouraged remember it is not from God and pray fiery destruction over the hand of the devil sent to attack your life. I have learned this from personal experience. May Jesus Christ be with you.
@@percy3711 Thank you so much for the kind words. What you mentioned about discouragement being a weapon of the devil makes a lot of sense. It truly does feel like a battle consistently pulling you in both directions but if I think about it I choose to let the devil pull me in his direction in my weakest moments. Discouragement and hopelessness is in his direction. So I am so thankful to know whose direction I can choose to go in. In gods direction. I know the pain, it was real in my life so it’s the familiarity that pulls me toward it. I’m choosing to go toward the faith in those moments now. It’s truly restored so much hope that I have been seeking for so long. Anyways, I know I am overflowing but I truly appreciate the kind words.
It is really, really great and priceless that you finally are shifting your eyes to God, where they should look as a matter of fact. We are flesh and bones, because of this, rejections and that sort of challenges will blow us and it is painful. You know what the Savior Jesus Christ ( Yeshua)said, " Let not your heart be troubled , believe in God and believe also in me" . What he meant is there will be an end to our hurt and pain, what we should keep in our heart is the hope of the Almight God. The Lord is our light and our salvation ( Psalm 28), God will bring us to his light and the peace of God that we have when we put our trust in Him will help us to bear all the pain in this life. The God of heaven will support us and guide us safely to our heavenly place in Jesus Christ. So May the Lord help you and guide you. God bless.
I have been enjoying your morning talks I been listening to you while cutting the grass and other day I was doing some reloading in the garage I love your common sense. Blessings from Alaska
Thanks for this wisdom today sir it's like how the TV was made for example if you watch the TV and the things you view on the TV their programming you to do wrong instead of right in today's life their making it seem like good is bad and bad is good and this is in the bible we are in the book of revelations for these things will come to pass. But remember this verse Proverbs 11:8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead. Meaning seek God and you will be saved from evil and the wicked will be put in your place instead.
May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ continue to bless you and your family as well as all and any endeavors you undertake. Stay in His Word and continue to stay on the straight and narrow Way. God bless you.
I found your main channel and enjoyed the heart to heart talks. Can’t lie and say I care too much about horses. But this is by far the best channel RUclips has to offer me. Thank you for doing it. Praise be to God
Dwyane I’ve been watching these for a while now, actual playing catch-up at the moment. I want to say thank you for straightening up my mindset by your wisdom. For the last year I’ve been caught up trying to figure out which denomination I identify with, free will Baptist, reformed, southern, or brethren, or allllll these other denominations. Fighting with predetermination and all that stuff. You’ve helped me remember what kindled my relationship when I was at my height of Christianity between the ages of 14-17. I seen none of that, wasn’t worried about any of that. I just loved my savior and wanted to be the most Christlike I could be. It all fell apart, but I’m trying to piece it back together with no male mentors in my life to help me. Even between the handful of churches I’ve visited and even the one I was just recently rebaptised at. The only one I liked as a mentor tried to make me get married to my girlfriend I live with so the church will stop ostracizing me and “allow me to get involved in the politics” You’ve helped to remind me to just focus on my relationship and not what the church wants for me.
So much love from a young Italian guy for this channel. I come here after watching some of your videos on Dry Creek Wrangler School and this channel just like the other one is a breath of fresh air in a world that is increasingly dirty and corrupt. Dwayne without knowing it you are helping me get through a difficult period in my life and you are making me rediscover faith after years of doubts and unhealthy atheist friendships. God bless you and the genuine American spirit that I have been looking for for a long time
Job's issue was his ego and self-loathing while his faith was on trial. He was blessed and needed a righteous reminder. It's totally relevant to many individuals today. God bless everyone.
Thank you sir, fear is such a misunderstood term these days, and your reminder is absolutely needed! Some of us can't weep anymore because it hurts too much but that don't mean we don't need too
Blessings Beautiful soul. I LOVE that answer. You care about your Brother by telling him straight what he needs to hear. God bless you and your Beautiful brother.
For some of us we didn’t have an earthly father and it’s not about fear for me it’s ignorance there was no one there to teach me thank you for your kind words always
I’ve studied Marcus Arelious teaching myself how to be a father a man a better person wisdom of the ages I can’t read but there’s plenty of videos right here on the Skagit I’m self-taught forced to be God’s will is his own
Well that was well spoken, and what I'd like to humbly add is the 2nd thing that people need to do is: total FORGIVENESS Put those two things together and you'll be on the path to eternal life.
You said it that explains everything. Thank you for following what the Lord has impressed upon your heart. You done the will of God, I needed that and so do many many others. Thank you Jesus for your message 🙏
Uncle Dwayne, you uploaded this video just in time! As I was at a point in my life where I constantly struggle with lust, I was looking for the wisdom of a grown man and you gave it to me through God Almighty. I'll take your advice sir. My best regards to you and thank you so much!🙏
When I was a kid and in my 20s and even 30s, I thought faith and discipline was a boring restrictive life. Now in my 40s faith and discipline are freeing. I have tons more to learn and I have my flaws, but I'm grateful for my level of awareness - it certainly makes life easier.
Amen brother! To those who are deceived into thinking that to fear the LORD is simply to reverence and/or respect God: The LORD is again and again described as terrible, in Deuteronomy and in Hebrews God is called a consuming fire, when Jesus Christ returns the blood of His enemies will be as high as a horses bridal, and the mightiest men on earth will hide in fear, and beg the mountains to fall on them, so that they don't have to face God, Philippians 2:12 says to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, and there are countless more examples throughout the scriptures that should cause anyone who reads it to have a fear of the LORD that is unrivaled! And ALL who don't fear God as they ought to right now can count on the fact that they will come to fear God later. The trembling fear of the LORD is where your salvation begins, and as your relationship with God grows stronger and more intimate your reverence and respect for Him will be added to your fear of Him.
Thank you for doing this. I think you're representing a Godly dad that a lot of us (including me) didn't have. My dad pretended to be Godly for a long time and then suddenly switched to showing his true colors all at once and it was traumatic for my whole family. Its a shame because he had that "fearful dad" energy that could have been godly, he made us act right but it wasnt about having Godly kids it was about getting praise from other adults about how well behaved his kids were. Its oddly comforting to listen to someone with that masculine authority who wouldnt cut you down but would also tell you how it is with no sugar coating. I know lots of other people have had worse fathers than mine too. All us children of failed fathers need this.
This is an excellent video. I agree completely. I recently learned why I should fear God. And why that is also such a freeing thing. As the only thing to fear is the almighty lord of heaven and earth. How did I come to this realization. Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel. I read these four books and realized why I should fear the lord. However I also learned how merciful God was after reading this. How many chances he gives his people before his action takes place. How many times he warns you before action is taken. I prayed for discernment and what I was told was to understand the character of God. And that led me to those books. Definitely fear the lord
Hi Dwayne…yes yes yes!! The pride… the audacity to act on one’s own and doing what one wants to do and not what God wants does come from a lack of fear of God. Same with a lack of fear of their earthly Father… I tried to train all our children up in the Lord and homeschooled also but my husband did not have a fear of God at all and today one of my daughters, the one he had wrapped around his finger, has gone and embraced the pride of this modern agenda in our country, devastating us all by her choices and he abandoned me. Must study the Bible hand in hand with knowledge of the philosophers. Wonder if you are familiar with Robinson Curriculum or Omnibus? Marcus Aurelius was one of the books in Omnibus. I really appreciate those text books so much for studying the Bible and the classics side by side for wisdom and knowledge and fear of the Lord by learning about the rise and fall of men and civilizations. We need a Charlemagne and King Alfred reformation of learning. Two of my favorites. I really appreciate your teaching from Tennessee.
Self righteousness can and will lead to not having the fear of God, that's what I experienced along with no wholehearted repentance or tears ,to my own shame ive been very unwise but not anymore praise be to God alone. ( I would strongly recommend listening to this message more than once. ) Glory to God.
Brother Dewayne, I think you nailed it. I grew up fearing my dad because he was hard on me. Now that I'm a man I now realize why he was hard on me and I'm thankful for him being that way. I also see how this works with God. I'm not perfect, I still sin but not near as much as I did when I was unsaved. I fall into sin, but I don't jump into it. But when I sin I am broken from it because I sinned against God and I have grieved the Holy Spirit and I feel bad about it. Does that mean God stops loving me? No. But I keep in mind, that even though we are saved by the grace of God, does that give us the right to sin? God forbid. Romans 6:14-15. Fear God and always look upon Him. Know that He loves us, even when we sin, but fear Him as in respect Him, but also fear God because He can crush us if He wanted to. We will never do this perfectly, because no one loves and fears God the way He deserves to be feared and loved. We just can't do it. The good news is, God knows it, and since we can't do anything like we should, He sent His only begotten Son to save us. And just to let you know, I do go to church and I do weep at times because I have learned how good God is to save a wretched person like me. Personally, I believe there are many people in church who believe "in" God, but they don't "believe" God. This is why most people don't fear God. God bless you and keep sharing His word.
Dear sir thank you for your time this day. I have only subscribed shortly now. You are the first person on RUclips that when they say we’re going to read this chapter, that I’ve been almost yelled at in the back of my head, “Andy pause this and go get your Bible out right now.” Thank You God for bring this man to my life. Sir you make so much sense. Simple straightforward common sense that Bible study. Amen Jesus.
Thank you again Dewanye, for hitting the nail on the head. With what I was struggling with, when it came to Fearing ABBA. I was lacking the understanding and now I get it. Peace.
I have struggled with this topic. I believe that how can I fear something I love so much? I do fear God's judgment of me. If I do not get into heaven that's not God's fault, it's mine. This video did help some. Thank you, and God bless you.
Thank you Dwayne, I needed to hear this! I'm a long time viewer, drinker of wrangler coffee. I'm a retired police officer, broken down cowboy. I suffer from severe ptsd and your videos help me so much! Thank you so much God bless you and your family
Dear Dwayne, I have met some exceptionally good men. Men who had honor, men who - like you said - both feared God and also made sure they raised their children accordingly (to fear their father in order for them to fear God in the process)... Yet their children became some of the worst people I have ever encountered. They hated their fathers. They harmed every person they ever got to know. They harmed their brothers and sisters, they harmed those who they married and even harmed their own very children. I somehow feel this is because they despised everything their father's represented. I have seen so many examples of this where I feel completely at loss as to what I should do, should I become a father...
After I Listened to the message all the way through, I had to pray and ask the LORD to forgive me, and help me to fear Him, help me to seek Him and His Holiness. I am thankful For this message you shared. I needed it.
I enjoy your content. I'm learning daily to just watch and keep my mouth shut. People will show you what they are and who they fear. I truly believe that the lack of the fear of God is the biggest issue of today. I'm also seeing that a lot of people are willingly ignorant and refusing to research and study.
You speak the truth 4 all us to be and become more true to our selves and less trying to prove to others that we are "good" on the inside your either a fighter or a lover im both
Thank you very much for this video and all the work you do. I really learn much from you sharing your thoughts and experience in a straight but calm way. Please, keep sharing… All the best from Munich, Germany.
"The answer is not to fear the sin, the answer is to fear God.
The more you fear God, the more the sin will take care of itself."
AMEN

I love the casual look!! ❤ Thank you for all your wisdom. Especially in building up the men in this world- you're such a weapon against the enemy and hope for the future!
Please pray for my mental and spiritual situation to come back fully to God
My father taught me a long time ago regarding sin and pride that were more deep and inward outward " if we fear God we wouldn't worship an earthly country more than his heavenly kingdom and country and exchange it for any country - USA or any country . The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. Amen .Thank you .
D’Wayne, I fear God and I am battling with the cravings of the flesh. My biggest issue is getting to know people, and I pray about it everyday. My past hasn’t presented me with very great influences and I am afraid of being that bad influence for my fellow Christian brother’s / sister’s. After highschool I used to smoke weed every single day, a habbit that I have realised ruined my life. I have no self control over the cravings of the flesh, but I am rounding the corner of being a month sober. My faith in Christ and fear of God is the only thing keeping me from breaking, as well as your video’s. Although I have such a strong feeling that I need to connect with my church leaders more, and confess my sins, this fear of getting to know people haunts me everyday.
Good on you for your month of sobriety from weed. I was also a daily all day smoker for 10 plus years but the Lord helped me get away from it. It gets much easier believe me. Be careful of getting to know people, a lot of people in church buildings are wolves in sheep's clothing. Christ often wants us in isolation. I learn more from people like Dewayne and others online than I ever could from a church building.
Hey I used to be a stoner for years and recently fell back into the habit and weed is the number one reason you struggle with the flesh, especially sexual immorality and I realized that because I also kept falling back into this struggle with my sin
As long as you realize that you don't lose your salvation everytime you sin, but also that you are sowing death into your life. You need to let go of the selfish desires of your heart and seek the will of God and ask for a pure heart.
Keep it up. The closer your relationship is with God the less sin is a factor. We are all sinful but I find the more I pray and keep in open communication the less I want or feel like sinning. 1st month is the hardest when quitting; after the 3rd month only problems make you want to return to that lifestyle
During covid I read the 1689 Westminster Confessional which was written by men who could have been put to death for writing it. Let that sink in. It defines and explains God’s bible in the clearest way man could explain at the time. Remember in 1689 the KJV had not been out long and people were just learning what God had said in the bible. What I drew from this book was how magnificent, holy, righteous and powerful our God is! How much He is utterly worthy of our worship and yes fear. He actually became GOD sized to me and with this revelation I realized how our modern church is all consumed with HOW TO and WHAT TO and has completely missed WHO TO and WHY TO. I am also adrift without a church building, but not without my God or faith as I wait for “wise” worshipers. I know others are out there because I see videos like this and I think, this is God willowing us. I need to be patient, God is MAGNIFICENT and I am waiting on HIM. Dwayne these videos are very helpful. Thank you
We left our assembly a year and a half ago, much for the same reasons you gave. Didn't leave with hard feelings or arguments, just felt like we needed to get out. We have started meeting in our home with another couple and our children and it has been good to have the fellowship and worship together again. I absolutely agree that there is little to zero repentance on churches today. I've even heard it said by people in church that if you repent after you're saved, you are relying on works to save you. A healthy fear of God leads us to repentance. A healthy fear of His judgement and knowing we will stand in front of Him someday and give an account of our life will cause us to want to clean up our lives and get the junk out. Thanks again for sharing this!
If only you were based in Oregon, I'd say come to Athey Creek! Our pastor truly fears God and seeks out God's holiness in each and every teaching. A truly blessed assembly of God-fearing people who are plain, Bible-based folks.
Great message! The fear of God is truly missing in much of the Modern American Church. I've certainly been one. Thank you for sharing. We become what/who we behold. If we fear the sin, that is what we behold. But if we fear God. Then that is what we Behold. Ley us keep our eyes on Jesus. :)
This was the best teaching on the fear of God that I've ever seen❗ Thanks, I wish I knew you brother. God bless you🙏
In the beginning i did not even want to understand the concept of Fearing God. But now after this Video..... believe me, i understand it. THANK YOU Dewayne🙏
Fear of repercussions has saved my life numerous times. I have even been extremely high on psychedelic drugs and was concerned about the repercussions enough to do the right thing.
As a Christian? They can be terrifying
Thank you so much for these talks, you’re a blessing.
I am in agreement! 👌
Through Jesus Christ we are to be more than conquerors of sin, and Dwayne you may think of yourself as nobody as you've said before. That's humility to a degree, but you are somebody, you are a child of God through Jesus Christ and it very much shows in my opinion. God's wisdom shines through and you clearly want to listen. Thank you for doing these videos good sir and I look forward to more.
Every day I pray to God that I do not live today in self-delusion or ignorance of His will and expectations.
One pragmatic concept I use to keep myself from becoming a prideful "know it all" is the concept of the Dunning Kruger Effect, where you're so prideful in your own intelligence that you ignore all critique and wander in a horrifying state of unrepentant ignorance.
God has been absurdly kind in putting up with my decade of hedonistic atheism.
There is nothing that terrifies me than losing the faith or favor that Jesus Christ gifted me with.
Me and the woman I love are seeking a church that respects God and His word as sacred ends.
Everything you've spoken about is absolutely true to a point where both of us pray before we take any step inside and outside our homes.
Excellent teaching brother! I am reaching out and learning to FEAR GOD!
Thank you for posting this. I haven't been fearing God anywhere near enough and this has really helped me to see that
Great Message! Thank you for sharing! God Bless you and your Family!❤️🐑✝️
I think your 100 percent right, no fear, most people only look at one character of GOD that’s love, so most people think they can act anyway they want, no fear. Also people put their trust in others and not what God said about things. Dewayne probably won’t see this, but I have really enjoy your teaching on this new platform.
Man this hits home. All these motivational books these days are self serving, thank God for the Bible for being our ultimate source of wisdom! Thanks for reminding us the awesomeness of biblical manhood because it is truly a beautiful thing when a man is strong and leads. Great reminder to chew on!
Another good man to listen to is Fr. Josiah Trenham, even if you are not Orthodox he has great messages for men.
Listening to you share about focusing on Christ, I was reminded of the old hymn (and I'm tearing up a bit as I type this):
"O soul, are you weary and troubled? No light in the darkness, you see?
There's light for a look at the Savior and life more abundant and free...
TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS, LOOK FULL IN HIS WONDERFUL FACE
AND THE THINGS OF EARTH WILL GROW STRANGELY DIM, IN THE LIGHT OF HIS GLORY AND GRACE."
Thank's for your Statement of fearing the father/s. Sad but true.
Hey DeWayne,
I've had many people argue that to fear God just means to being in awe of him.
I tell them they can have awe by seeing Mount Rushmore. But Jesus spoke about fearing God in context of don't forget who can drop you into hell. That's the one you should fear.
For many years I was a Christian, but found myself beyond victory over my sins that I kept on going back to. But all that changed when I became serious, and started reading my Bible every day. I set apart the first of my day to be with God in prayer, and the reading of his word. Before I dedicated myself to that, I really did not like reading very often, sometimes I would read a book, but then I would go a long time without doing so. I don't read very fast, so it takes me a long time to absorb what I read and that might be a reason why I was always hesitant. But after reading the Bible through in a year, and then many times more now through the New Testament, Proverbs, and Psalms. I have noticed a leap in spiritual growth within me and a greater cognizance of the presence of God, also greater faith. I know firsthand God's faithfulness, and I can see how Jesus has always been there in my life chasing after me. Thanks for the lesson on the fear of God. That has always been a confusing thing to get my head around because most people don't even know what that means entirely. Have you ever read The Cost of Discipleship, by Dietrich Bonhoeffer?
Thank you Dwayne, Well said; Matthew 10:28 KJV "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." I share your concern for assemblies which are led by individuals who are more terrified to face the displeasure of man than the displeasure of God. I believe that “Therein lies the problem”. One cannot fear a God whom he cannot see if his heart has been captured by the "fear of man" whom he can see. Galatians 1:10 KJV "For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ". For the church to live in the actual fear of God it will first need to find deliverance from the fear of man. Proverbs 29:25 KJV "The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe". May God grant "me" the grace day by day to live true to my own exhortation for herein have I failed and repented with Godly sorrow many times. To overcome I shall keep my eyes on Jesus and not man. Thank you!
I love this! Thanks for sharing. The fear of the lord is the secret to your prayer life, the secret to your financial stability, the secret to the wellness of your mind, and it’s the secret to a happy marriage, and I could go on and on. Nothing is more important in life than fearing the Lord. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man! People do not keep his commandments, because they do not fear God. My whole life changed when I started fearing the Lord, obeying his commandments and reading my bible daily. I'm truly blessed now because of it. ❤
I am super new to Christianity and submitting to god. Within the past week. I have done so much work diligently and obsessively on myself to be the best man I can be for myself but more importantly for others. I’ve felt so much pain in the last 3 years at the same time. It’s been a fight for survival to be quite frank. I came to a point in which despite all of my efforts I lost my optimism and hope a week ago. I felt myself slipping from what I had built myself up to be. I’ve been met with a lot of rejection and betrayal through an ex lover and with people in general throughout my life but I never chose to be jaded. I always chose to love more and to keep on trying to keep on giving everything I had. Well in the past week I chose to submit myself to god in private. I know that the Bible mentions to not be ashamed of faith. I want to keep it to myself while I nourish it though. I truly believe that faith is exactly what I need and quite possibly the only thing I need to free myself of the above after 33 years of life. So with all of this being said I truly appreciate your videos as they are not embellished. It’s taken straight from scripture. I have watched all of your videos within this week and I am so grateful for them. Thank you 🙏🏼
Awesome. Please don’t be discouraged. Discouragement is a big weapon of the enemy and he will attack you at some point. If you feel discouraged remember it is not from God and pray fiery destruction over the hand of the devil sent to attack your life. I have learned this from personal experience. May Jesus Christ be with you.
@@percy3711 Thank you so much for the kind words. What you mentioned about discouragement being a weapon of the devil makes a lot of sense. It truly does feel like a battle consistently pulling you in both directions but if I think about it I choose to let the devil pull me in his direction in my weakest moments. Discouragement and hopelessness is in his direction. So I am so thankful to know whose direction I can choose to go in. In gods direction. I know the pain, it was real in my life so it’s the familiarity that pulls me toward it. I’m choosing to go toward the faith in those moments now. It’s truly restored so much hope that I have been seeking for so long. Anyways, I know I am overflowing but I truly appreciate the kind words.
It is really, really great and priceless that you finally are shifting your eyes to God, where they should look as a matter of fact. We are flesh and bones, because of this, rejections and that sort of challenges will blow us and it is painful. You know what the Savior Jesus Christ ( Yeshua)said, " Let not your heart be troubled , believe in God and believe also in me" . What he meant is there will be an end to our hurt and pain, what we should keep in our heart is the hope of the Almight God. The Lord is our light and our salvation ( Psalm 28), God will bring us to his light and the peace of God that we have when we put our trust in Him will help us to bear all the pain in this life. The God of heaven will support us and guide us safely to our heavenly place in Jesus Christ. So May the Lord help you and guide you. God bless.
I have been enjoying your morning talks I been listening to you while cutting the grass and other day I was doing some reloading in the garage I love your common sense. Blessings from Alaska
ThankYou for the wise words, very well said!!
Thank you for posting this, I needed to hear it. I pray that God grants us all the wisdom to fear God and not man ❤
Great talk tonight Dewayne! Thank You sir! ☝️✝️🇺🇸💪
Having trouble telling you how much I enjoy these sessions and how glad I am you started this channel--Thx!!
God bless you, sir. Every video of yours that I watch, I learn. This video in particular really hit the nail on the head for me and I thank God.
Thank you for the way you articulate your understanding. I needed to hear this yesterday. I have not been fearing God. Thanks again.
Thanks for this wisdom today sir it's like how the TV was made for example if you watch the TV and the things you view on the TV their programming you to do wrong instead of right in today's life their making it seem like good is bad and bad is good and this is in the bible we are in the book of revelations for these things will come to pass. But remember this verse Proverbs 11:8
The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead. Meaning seek God and you will be saved from evil and the wicked will be put in your place instead.
May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ continue to bless you and your family as well as all and any endeavors you undertake. Stay in His Word and continue to stay on the straight and narrow Way. God bless you.
I found your main channel and enjoyed the heart to heart talks. Can’t lie and say I care too much about horses.
But this is by far the best channel RUclips has to offer me.
Thank you for doing it.
Praise be to God
Dwyane I’ve been watching these for a while now, actual playing catch-up at the moment. I want to say thank you for straightening up my mindset by your wisdom. For the last year I’ve been caught up trying to figure out which denomination I identify with, free will Baptist, reformed, southern, or brethren, or allllll these other denominations. Fighting with predetermination and all that stuff. You’ve helped me remember what kindled my relationship when I was at my height of Christianity between the ages of 14-17. I seen none of that, wasn’t worried about any of that. I just loved my savior and wanted to be the most Christlike I could be. It all fell apart, but I’m trying to piece it back together with no male mentors in my life to help me. Even between the handful of churches I’ve visited and even the one I was just recently rebaptised at. The only one I liked as a mentor tried to make me get married to my girlfriend I live with so the church will stop ostracizing me and “allow me to get involved in the politics” You’ve helped to remind me to just focus on my relationship and not what the church wants for me.
So much love from a young Italian guy for this channel. I come here after watching some of your videos on Dry Creek Wrangler School and this channel just like the other one is a breath of fresh air in a world that is increasingly dirty and corrupt. Dwayne without knowing it you are helping me get through a difficult period in my life and you are making me rediscover faith after years of doubts and unhealthy atheist friendships.
God bless you and the genuine American spirit that I have been looking for for a long time
amazing so blessed I found this channel !! "the more you fear God the sin will take care of itself" love it and praise Jesus !!
Just when I think it can't get deeper you do another video, I wish every pastor in America would speak the truth like you.
Job's issue was his ego and self-loathing while his faith was on trial. He was blessed and needed a righteous reminder. It's totally relevant to many individuals today. God bless everyone.
Thank you sir, fear is such a misunderstood term these days, and your reminder is absolutely needed! Some of us can't weep anymore because it hurts too much but that don't mean we don't need too
Blessings Beautiful soul. I LOVE that answer. You care about your Brother by telling him straight what he needs to hear. God bless you and your Beautiful brother.
For some of us we didn’t have an earthly father and it’s not about fear for me it’s ignorance there was no one there to teach me thank you for your kind words always
I’ve studied Marcus Arelious teaching myself how to be a father a man a better person wisdom of the ages I can’t read but there’s plenty of videos right here on the Skagit I’m self-taught forced to be God’s will is his own
You're at 29k Subscribers.That tells me that you're giving people what they need. God Bless.
Brother Dwayne, thank you so very much for pointing me to my Lord. God bless you.
Well that was well spoken, and what I'd like to humbly add is the 2nd thing that people need to do is: total FORGIVENESS Put those two things together and you'll be on the path to eternal life.
Now that we've got the critics set aside, let's get into it, Thankyou Dwyane
You said it that explains everything. Thank you for following what the Lord has impressed upon your heart. You done the will of God, I needed that and so do many many others. Thank you Jesus for your message 🙏
Amen to this.
Uncle Dwayne, you uploaded this video just in time! As I was at a point in my life where I constantly struggle with lust, I was looking for the wisdom of a grown man and you gave it to me through God Almighty. I'll take your advice sir. My best regards to you and thank you so much!🙏
When I was a kid and in my 20s and even 30s, I thought faith and discipline was a boring restrictive life.
Now in my 40s faith and discipline are freeing.
I have tons more to learn and I have my flaws, but I'm grateful for my level of awareness - it certainly makes life easier.
Amen brother!
To those who are deceived into thinking that to fear the LORD is simply to reverence and/or respect God:
The LORD is again and again described as terrible, in Deuteronomy and in Hebrews God is called a consuming fire, when Jesus Christ returns the blood of His enemies will be as high as a horses bridal, and the mightiest men on earth will hide in fear, and beg the mountains to fall on them, so that they don't have to face God, Philippians 2:12 says to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, and there are countless more examples throughout the scriptures that should cause anyone who reads it to have a fear of the LORD that is unrivaled! And ALL who don't fear God as they ought to right now can count on the fact that they will come to fear God later.
The trembling fear of the LORD is where your salvation begins, and as your relationship with God grows stronger and more intimate your reverence and respect for Him will be added to your fear of Him.
Thank you for doing this. I think you're representing a Godly dad that a lot of us (including me) didn't have. My dad pretended to be Godly for a long time and then suddenly switched to showing his true colors all at once and it was traumatic for my whole family. Its a shame because he had that "fearful dad" energy that could have been godly, he made us act right but it wasnt about having Godly kids it was about getting praise from other adults about how well behaved his kids were. Its oddly comforting to listen to someone with that masculine authority who wouldnt cut you down but would also tell you how it is with no sugar coating. I know lots of other people have had worse fathers than mine too. All us children of failed fathers need this.
This is an excellent video. I agree completely. I recently learned why I should fear God. And why that is also such a freeing thing. As the only thing to fear is the almighty lord of heaven and earth.
How did I come to this realization. Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel. I read these four books and realized why I should fear the lord. However I also learned how merciful God was after reading this. How many chances he gives his people before his action takes place. How many times he warns you before action is taken.
I prayed for discernment and what I was told was to understand the character of God. And that led me to those books.
Definitely fear the lord
Hi Dwayne…yes yes yes!!
The pride… the audacity to act on one’s own and doing what one wants to do and not what God wants does come from a lack of fear of God.
Same with a lack of fear of their earthly Father…
I tried to train all our children up in the Lord and homeschooled also but my husband did not have a fear of God at all and today one of my daughters, the one he had wrapped around his finger, has gone and embraced the pride of this modern agenda in our country, devastating us all by her choices and he abandoned me.
Must study the Bible hand in hand with knowledge of the philosophers. Wonder if you are familiar with Robinson Curriculum or Omnibus? Marcus Aurelius was one of the books in Omnibus. I really appreciate those text books so much for studying the Bible and the classics side by side for wisdom and knowledge and fear of the Lord by learning about the rise and fall of men and civilizations.
We need a Charlemagne and King Alfred reformation of learning. Two of my favorites.
I really appreciate your teaching from Tennessee.
I love your videos they've helped me so much and turned my life around to have true Faith. Keep going brother, you're good at this. God bless ❤
You are spot on with that Dewayne about how to handle the attraction of Gods beauty in a woman!!
Thank you for the fatherly advice. You always seem to have Something that I needed to hear
AMEN & AMEN! love it!
Self righteousness can and will lead to not having the fear of God, that's what I experienced along with no wholehearted repentance or tears ,to my own shame ive been very unwise but not anymore praise be to God alone. ( I would strongly recommend listening to this message more than once. )
Glory to God.
Very happy to have found this channel. Thank you brother .
I just ordered 4 bags of your coffee, canvas cap and red coffee ceramic mug. Thank you for your inspiration.
Brother Dewayne, I think you nailed it. I grew up fearing my dad because he was hard on me. Now that I'm a man I now realize why he was hard on me and I'm thankful for him being that way. I also see how this works with God. I'm not perfect, I still sin but not near as much as I did when I was unsaved. I fall into sin, but I don't jump into it. But when I sin I am broken from it because I sinned against God and I have grieved the Holy Spirit and I feel bad about it. Does that mean God stops loving me? No. But I keep in mind, that even though we are saved by the grace of God, does that give us the right to sin? God forbid. Romans 6:14-15. Fear God and always look upon Him. Know that He loves us, even when we sin, but fear Him as in respect Him, but also fear God because He can crush us if He wanted to. We will never do this perfectly, because no one loves and fears God the way He deserves to be feared and loved. We just can't do it. The good news is, God knows it, and since we can't do anything like we should, He sent His only begotten Son to save us. And just to let you know, I do go to church and I do weep at times because I have learned how good God is to save a wretched person like me. Personally, I believe there are many people in church who believe "in" God, but they don't "believe" God. This is why most people don't fear God. God bless you and keep sharing His word.
Amen brother Dwane, appreciate these messages. Greetings from Cork Ireland.
Dear sir thank you for your time this day. I have only subscribed shortly now. You are the first person on RUclips that when they say we’re going to read this chapter, that I’ve been almost yelled at in the back of my head, “Andy pause this and go get your Bible out right now.” Thank You God for bring this man to my life. Sir you make so much sense. Simple straightforward common sense that Bible study. Amen Jesus.
Amen 🙏🏻❤️.
Thank you again Dewanye, for hitting the nail on the head. With what I was struggling with, when it came to Fearing ABBA. I was lacking the understanding and now I get it. Peace.
Good word brother! I really enjoyed your message... we all need to reverently fear God. A very timely message!
I have struggled with this topic. I believe that how can I fear something I love so much? I do fear God's judgment of me. If I do not get into heaven that's not God's fault, it's mine. This video did help some. Thank you, and God bless you.
May the LORD JESUS CHRIST bless you and keep you brother.
Thank you Dwayne, I needed to hear this! I'm a long time viewer, drinker of wrangler coffee. I'm a retired police officer, broken down cowboy. I suffer from severe ptsd and your videos help me so much! Thank you so much God bless you and your family
I appreciate the Bible study sir 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Dear Dwayne, I have met some exceptionally good men. Men who had honor, men who - like you said - both feared God and also made sure they raised their children accordingly (to fear their father in order for them to fear God in the process)... Yet their children became some of the worst people I have ever encountered. They hated their fathers. They harmed every person they ever got to know. They harmed their brothers and sisters, they harmed those who they married and even harmed their own very children. I somehow feel this is because they despised everything their father's represented. I have seen so many examples of this where I feel completely at loss as to what I should do, should I become a father...
TY! 💟✝️☮️
Truth ! Thank you Wayne
Amen! Thank you for this message!
Amen❤
Morning DeWayne, I sat down last night and had myself a Liga Privada and listen to the word you gave, thank you I really enjoyed it.
After I Listened to the message all the way through, I had to pray and ask the LORD to forgive me, and help me to fear Him, help me to seek Him and His Holiness. I am thankful For this message you shared. I needed it.
So powerful! Thank you.
I enjoy your content. I'm learning daily to just watch and keep my mouth shut. People will show you what they are and who they fear. I truly believe that the lack of the fear of God is the biggest issue of today.
I'm also seeing that a lot of people are willingly ignorant and refusing to research and study.
Thank you sir!
Excellent! I couldn't agree more!
Amen to this message 🙏, nuff said.
Спасибо дружище. ❤
Thank you. For.tjis video. I am.thankful for.this
Thank you for your time and wisdom.
You speak the truth 4 all us to be and become more true to our selves and less trying to prove to others that we are "good" on the inside your either a fighter or a lover im both
Thank you very much for this video and all the work you do. I really learn much from you sharing your thoughts and experience in a straight but calm way. Please, keep sharing… All the best from Munich, Germany.
I needed this! Thank you brother!
This channel is such a blessing DeWayne, thank you for continuing to have these edifying conversations.
These just keep getting better and better. Amen and amen
