May the Spirit of the Lord sweep through the US. May the people wake up… especially the Christian’s…. and vote in wisdom and great discernment!!May the fear of the Lord prevail and May He show mercy on this great nation!!
I fear God. I try everyday to follow all the right things to do. It is so sad when people don’t want the love of God. I ask for peace for the world and peaceful words coming out of my mouth. In the things I ask for in Jesus Name. Amen
Honestly, they spin everything, everything to write a book. Any Christian knows how it all fits together, what is causing people to fall away is this marketing of God. The only thing that’s “ vital” is your faith and heart.
@@GrayRocking1But they don't know, they don't fear consequences. They don't know God. There are so many cotton candy Christian Churches out there , it is scary!
I bought The Awe Of God when it first came out. Brought me into a whole new level of knowing God in a deeper way. Then l started watching you on Messenger teaching on Driven By Eternity, and honestly, John, l had to put it down and read it in small bits because l never was taught the truth of the whole counsel of God. Thank you for being a man of God who teaches truth in love. Thank you, Eric, for bringing out the truths in your program and for writing and making the movie Letter To The American Church. God bless you both!
This is exactly what has been on my mind for my entire faith journey. I have always lived with the perspective of fear over grace because I know how much God has allowed me to fail without major consequence. He reveals His love to me through allowing me to come to grips with and to confront the fear.
Thank you, Eric, for letting your guest speak without interrupting him! 😊 I appreciate your videos so much, but this one is outstanding and meant so much to me. Blessings to you and John 🙏🏻
This is so good and so vital. I am encouraged that even as we, as believers, are in the midst of a battle between good and evil, the Lord has already won the war. And yet we, as believers, must stand for righteousness in this current battle. We know what Scripture says about cowards (Revelation 21:8) and we are not to be counted among them. We are called to stand no matter what (Ephesians 6:13). And we will do so. Praise God.
Such an important truth. I think that one of the dangers of the belief that “once saved, always saved” is that people think since Jesus won my salvation, which is true, I don’t need to go through the uncomfortable process of repentance and allowing the Holy Spirit to transform me. I can have eternal life and still flirt with the ways of the world. We don’t have to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. We prayed the sinner’s prayer.
This really struck me to the heart! Here in South Africa we have the same "gentle Jesus meek and mild" - false idea, ignoring the sovereignty of God Almighty - God bless you. Henrietta Klaasing, Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa
You prefer a Rambo Jesus?? Jesus who taught us to love our neighbors. Jesus who taught us to walk that extra mile. Jesus who taught us that "whatever you do for the least of these you do for Me". That Rambo Republican Jesus is NOT biblical!! Jesus went to the cross as a sheep to slaughter...He went through Hell to save us.... Reread the Gospels...you won't find the American Republican Jesus there.

@@truthmatters7997Jesus is both the Lamb and the Lion. He is merciful and just. He is both always in perfect control , in perfect righteous wisdom. You cannot have one without the other. You can trust Him. He is Lord. I am not sure what you mean by Rambo Republican Jesus. That sounds somehow less than just. The true Jesus will truly come with fire to judge and cleanse the Earth! This is the same Jesus who said love one another.
Ty Eric and John. As you know, the churches have been silent for so long. 1960 prayer came out of schools where was the churches screaming nooo. How about in 1970s abortion was legalized. The churches should have screamed nooooo! Now most churches won’t talk about society problems bc the they don’t want to offend anyone or they don’t want to loose their 501c3 tax status. Very disturbing. Money before The Lord.
For at least 70 years (my lifetime), the church has been telling us lies about this, saying we don't need to fear God. Such a big, senseless lie. My early adult life was a ruin, and this was the fundamental error on my part. How can we not fear God, who knows the end from the beginning? We need to stop being cowards and tell the truth. Then we would have life and purpose and community.
@@yllatusmuna My parents said that only a very few totally evil people, like Hitler, would end up in hell. The sense of that message is that you can live however you want and you'll be okay. In the church it's more like, don't even talk about it. Fear of the Lord just means have reverence for Him. Watering the message down is the same as denying it. Thanks for a great question.
@@yllatusmunaSince there are at least two definitions, it is easy to see the confusion. Fear God means to RESPECT God. As a child, we are told not to be AFRAID OF A policeman as well. They are all here to HELP US. To FEAR God is the beginning of WISDOM.
I remember awhile back, but sometime this year, in my prayers, I told the Lord that I was concerned that I did not fear Him anymore. And I felt that I was in need of greater wisdom. And the verse about the fear of the LORD being the beginning of wisdom came to mind so I asked the Lord to give me this fear, as I knew I had lost it. I'll tell you, the Lord truly answered my prayer. And I can tell you this also, the fear of the Lord is a HOLY fear. And it was necessary, in fact, to bring me back into a proper alignment with Him. There is no fear like the fear of the LORD. Nothing will penetrate so deeply into your being. It pervades no matter where you are, who you're with, what time of day or night. It is a cleansing fire. And I will say that if you feel you've become lukewarm or too comfortable, you might ask for that, too. The Lord chastises those whom He loves.
I compare the fear of the Lord to the way I feel standing on the beach with mighty waves roiling in front of me. It’s beautiful & it’s powerful & awesome! I am safe when I follow the laws set before me.
Greater minds than ours have discussed this for generations. It isn't worth the risk to presume you're good with God because you loved Him when you were twelve.
@@waldensmith4796 There are videos on RUclips that talk about this. Check them out. That's why it's important for Christians to be spiritually discerning today. Jesus said 3 times in Matthew ch. 24, let no one deceive you!
A child love and respect(fear) his father. ....when the father is a good and faithful father. And that is the kind of love and respect the children of God has for their Father.
Excellent and so relevant. It is impossible for the Holy Spirit to change us when HIS Grace is in conflict with our carnal state that has been immunised against the fear and reverence for HIM by compromised teaching.
We have to fear with complete trust. Fear our independence and trust our Father’s perfect skill at Fatherhood. If you’re His it means something and there is zero chance of Him forfeiting His parental authority or His priorities.
Ty Eric,people are leaving the the church to find truth. Amos 8:11 ( KJV) pertaining famine of hearing the Word of God. The traditions of men make void the Word of God.
That’s not why people are leaving the church. The reason people are leaving the church is what’s being taught in the pulpit. There’s divorce in the pulpit, false teachings in the pulpit, adulterous relationships in the pulpit, preachers attacking others preachers, false prophets in the pulpit, underage sex in the pulpit, preachers getting rich in the pulpit, homosexuals in the pulpit and everyday there’s a preacher stepping down for his lack of morality. Maybe you should as preachers point to yourself as lacking in the fear of God. The church leaders will be the first to be judged.
You are right. You actually will agree with him if you listen. He's saying these things are being taught from the pulpis because of lack of the fear of the Lord. God bless You. ❤🙌🏼❤
I have an example from my own life. Back in the 1970's I was stationed in Japan, and a fellow sailor who professed to be a Christian expressed the belief that 'sins of the flesh' i.e. using a prostitute, were nothing, that only 'sins of the spirit' were serious. I pointed out Gal 6:7&8 and the how that was demonstrated in the life of David and Bathsheba, that sin has consequences. It shook him, he repented, and then went on into the ministry.
I won't bore you with the whole story but of all things it was the book of Proverbs that I first read in the Bible. And Proverbs 1:7 hit me like a ton of bricks. Then I had to find out what wisdom was. Wisdom is knowing and doing God's will, then I had to find out what God's will is, God's will is to love one another, it's simple enough but with for example this election coming up it's very hard!
Matthew 24:14 need to be declared! Use the weapon of the Gospel to destroy the works of the devil. Vote!!! JESUS is the King in the body of CHRIST within us….we overcome wickedness !
Thankyou for this sharing....yes i can say i love Jesus but do i fear God...do i fear God enough to resist any kind of sin..not tolerate sun in my life n in others...sugarcoating sin...thank-you for this reminder.
Wise words! Yes, there’s no fear of God in most church goers; there is a scripture that God says “you thought that I was like you.” Yes, God is treated like their buddy. Dangerous 🙌🏾
The fear of God keeps us from lawlessness! God make us fruitful and to be of great impact to this generation and thereafter until we are raptured in JESUS mighty name.
Judith Moore I so love and admire Eric so much for his devotion to Jesus Christ. His guest was excellent. Let's hope their message was clear. Vote for Trump if you care about the USA and the whole world's future.
Those who are TRUE CHILDREN of God, adopted by God Almighty, his/her name written in the BOOK of LIFE will forever belong to HIM. WE can fall & live in our sinful abode but can NOT lose our Salvation which we undeserving received by grace. YES the awe of God is lacking I agree.
I agree with this completely, but I am personally acquainted with many Christians (Church members) who "feel good" about voting emotionally. They never do the hard work of considering the consequences of their vote. We live in a world where style points rule the day. The Church has bought-in to this. They're not much different than the atheistic friends of mine who vote irresponsibly, thinking the negative results will never effect them. Somehow, they think they'll always be insulated.
Amen. So many many many are legalistic or tied to traditions around religion. Respect and fear for God keeps one accountable. One must never have TRUTH without REVERENCE in any relationship, much more so with God.
To love Him is to obey Him(John 14:21-23). It's been my experience that FALLING in LOVE with Jesus keeps us from practicing sin and breaking His heart. When we're in love with Jesus, we just want to live for God and to please Him. We come to hate the world and sin and are set free from the besetting sin thru our obedience (2 Corinthians 10:6).
It is not about just fear the Lord, is about respect him,and stand with him leave with him, be pure the way should be,the way he made us,be Holy 🕊️🕯️🕊️🕯️🙏🙌 we need to wake up the wisdom in us to see the Truth about the reality light of the Lord 🕯️🙏🕯️🙏
Great and helpful interview. Grateful to see & hear the Fear of the Lord being brought back to the Church. Helpful perspective, John, on voting. Disappointed by the click bait title.
Bonhoeffer -Cheap Grace. But also, GOD says have no other gods before me.’ What he’s describing is how we put God before GOD. We ignore giving honor & obedience to GOD & HIS commandment, statutes & precepts and do not fear & reverence HIM. But we profess to adore and worship Christ. We love Christ because we see in Him love, mercy and grace forgetting that Christ is a perfect reflection of the Father… thinking that because there is no condemnation in Him, we will not be judged according to the Law of GOD. This is putting GOD’s Son before The Father.
"Repetition is the mother of memory." "A lie told often enough becomes the truth." (Vladimir Lenin)" Repetition can create long-term memories and strengthen what appears to be the truth. Thus, the repeated lies coming from the mouths of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, if stated enough times, becomes the "truth" in the mind of those too weak to think for themselves. This will be even more evident if they are elected.
We have to fear our fallen selves - so must work out our salvation in fear and trembling. Our sinfil wills are constantly tempting us to stray from the straight and narrow path that leads to Heaven. And instread to maroon ouselves in the Badlands away from the road. Potentially forever.
Yes, the fear of God is GOOD…all through the bible it is spoken. It also is the BEGINNING OF WISDOM. It is not awe, it is fear….dont water the word down folks….Erik, it is fear…
New Covenant Whole Gospel: How many modern Christians cannot honestly answer the questions below? Who is the King of Israel in John 1:49? Is the King of Israel now the Head of the Church, and are we His Body? Who is the “son” that is the “heir” to the land in Matthew 21:37-43? Why did God allow the Romans to destroy the Old Covenant temple and the Old Covenant city, about 40 years after His Son fulfilled the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34 in blood at Calvary? What the modern Church needs is a New Covenant Revival (Heb. 9:10) in which members of various denominations are willing to re-examine everything they believe and see if it agrees with the Bible, instead of the traditions of men. We need to be like the Bereans. It will be a battle between our flesh and the Holy Spirit. It will not be easy. If you get mad and upset when someone challenges your man-made Bible doctrines, that is your flesh resisting the truth found in God's Word. Nobody can completely understand the Bible unless they understand the relationship between the Old Covenant given to Moses at Mount Sinai and the New Covenant fulfilled in blood at Calvary. God is not now a “racist”. He has extended His love to all races of people through the New Covenant fulfilled by His Son’s blood at Calvary. The Apostle Paul warned against using “genealogies” in our faith in 1 Tim. 1:4, and Titus 3:9. If the New Covenant is "everlasting" in Hebrews 13:20 and the Old Covenant is "obsolete" in Hebrews 8:13, why would any Christian believe God is going back to the Old Covenant system during a future time period?
Honestly, the fear of God and the love of God go hand in hand. Do you really believe there's people that will behaved completely lawlessly and say they love God and they'll go to heaven. The Bible says if any band says he loves God and doesn't keep his commandments. He's a liar. So how does that go with you? Can love God and not keep his commandments. Everybody always misses the very basic basics of the Gospel. It never ceases to be so grievous to me. You can't love God and not keep his commandments and then say it's oh I loved him but I didn't fear him. No. If you love God you keep his commandments.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

Champions of faith, thank you for speaking up. "The fear of God is the begining of wisdom"
I don’t interpret the Biblical term “fear” as something threatening, but an awesome respect for authority.
It's a lot more than that, Gail. It shouldn't be threatening, but it's more than respect. "Work out your salvation with fear and trembling."
Fear of the consequences of sins
Honestly, they spin everything, everything to write a book. Any Christian knows how it all fits together, what is causing people to fall away is this marketing of God. The only thing that’s “ vital” is your faith and heart.

Bonhoeffer -Cheap Grace.
But also, GOD says have no other gods before me.’
What he’s describing is how we put God before GOD.
We ignore giving honor & obedience to GOD & HIS commandment, statutes & precepts and do not fear & reverence HIM.
But we profess to adore and worship Christ.
We love Christ because we see in Him love, mercy and grace forgetting that Christ is a perfect reflection of the Father… thinking that because there is no condemnation in Him, we will not be judged according to the Law of GOD.
This is putting GOD’s Son before The Father.
Christians need to show up and Vote Republican!
"Repetition is the mother of memory." "A lie told often enough becomes the truth." (Vladimir Lenin)"
Repetition can create long-term memories and strengthen what appears to be the truth. Thus, the repeated lies coming from the mouths of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, if stated enough times, becomes the "truth" in the mind of those too weak to think for themselves. This will be even more evident if they are elected.
Too many prosperity (money grabbing) guilt pounding wolves, not all in sheep clothing (greed), and people are turning other ways.
Yes. Right here.
Fear of the lord is that and a fear to go against him…and sin…
We have to fear our fallen selves - so must work out our salvation in fear and trembling.
Our sinfil wills are constantly tempting us to stray from the straight and narrow path that leads to Heaven. And instread to maroon ouselves in the Badlands away from the road.
Potentially forever.
Yes, the fear of God is GOOD…all through the bible it is spoken. It also is the BEGINNING OF WISDOM.
It is not awe, it is fear….dont water the word down folks….Erik, it is fear…

Is a Doctrine that I found to be the most “updated” about God.
“IF YOU LOVE ME, YOU WILL OBEY ME.”
Fear = Reverence

New Covenant Whole Gospel: How many modern Christians cannot honestly answer the questions below?
Who is the King of Israel in John 1:49? Is the King of Israel now the Head of the Church, and are we His Body? Who is the “son” that is the “heir” to the land in Matthew 21:37-43? Why did God allow the Romans to destroy the Old Covenant temple and the Old Covenant city, about 40 years after His Son fulfilled the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34 in blood at Calvary?
What the modern Church needs is a New Covenant Revival (Heb. 9:10) in which members of various denominations are willing to re-examine everything they believe and see if it agrees with the Bible, instead of the traditions of men. We need to be like the Bereans. It will be a battle between our flesh and the Holy Spirit. It will not be easy. If you get mad and upset when someone challenges your man-made Bible doctrines, that is your flesh resisting the truth found in God's Word. Nobody can completely understand the Bible unless they understand the relationship between the Old Covenant given to Moses at Mount Sinai and the New Covenant fulfilled in blood at Calvary.
God is not now a “racist”. He has extended His love to all races of people through the New Covenant fulfilled by His Son’s blood at Calvary. The Apostle Paul warned against using “genealogies” in our faith in 1 Tim. 1:4, and Titus 3:9.
If the New Covenant is "everlasting" in Hebrews 13:20 and the Old Covenant is "obsolete" in Hebrews 8:13, why would any Christian believe God is going back to the Old Covenant system during a future time period?
Honestly, the fear of God and the love of God go hand in hand. Do you really believe there's people that will behaved completely lawlessly and say they love God and they'll go to heaven. The Bible says if any band says he loves God and doesn't keep his commandments. He's a liar. So how does that go with you? Can love God and not keep his commandments. Everybody always misses the very basic basics of the Gospel. It never ceases to be so grievous to me. You can't love God and not keep his commandments and then say it's oh I loved him but I didn't fear him. No. If you love God you keep his commandments.
