The Awe of God: How to TRULY Get Close to God [FULL SERMON] - John Bevere
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 มิ.ย. 2024
- Do you long for an intimate relationship with your Creator, but He seems elusive? Perhaps it is because something utterly essential is missing-the fear of the Lord. Don't let this frighten you. Fearing God is very different than being afraid of God. It's the key to everything.
Holy Fear is not a topic you'll hear much about these days. But if you want to build a faith that stands strong through troubled times, you cannot afford ignorance.
In this sermon, I invite you to take a fresh look at what it means to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. Why? This healthy, holy, and largely forgotten virtue is the uncommon path to a more fulfilled and fruitful life.

Dear Lord, I love You so much. Forgive me for living life my way. For only obeying you when it was convenient, when it didn't interfere with my schedule, my pleasure, my agenda. I'm so sorry and I repent tonight and I return to You. I give You my spirit, my soul, and my body - everything I am, everything I have. I'm Yours forever Jesus. You are my Lord, my King, my Beloved, my Groom. I'm Yours forever. I want to be Your friend, I want to know Your heart, I want to know Your secrets. Give me the grace, the holy fear to walk in obedience. In Jesus' name!
Amen! Hallelujah!
Repent, by grace you are saved in the name of God
Da
Amen! I could’ve written these words myself. Thank you Jesus for your mercy and grace.
Amen! Such a powerful prayer!
I was Muslim and converted to being a follower of our lLord Jesus Christ..I prayed to God one time with all my heart and asked him to show me if he’s real then Jesus came into my life. The holly spirit is guiding me and I will start preaching in God’s name one day to bring this gift of true love and happiness to less fortunate and lost souls.Amen ❤❤❤❤🙏😇
Praise the Lord. That is wonderful
Bless you, I pray that God opens doors that no man can shut! ❤
I am so happy to know you gave your heart to Jesus. I am praying for my Muslim friends.
I believe there is only 1 God. No conversions are necessary.
❤❤️🔥🙌🏾Yes! Amen!!🙌🏾❤️🔥🔥
*He is not coming back for a bride that has given herself halfheartedly to Him. He’s coming back for a bride that has given herself to Him the way He gave Himself to her…**He’s not coming back for a bride that’s sleeping with the world…***
POWERFUL!

"Break up with everything Jesus died for " Amen and Amen 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
From India,We watched it together as husband and wife
And now we recognise that we loved righteousness but didn't hate lawlessness!Thank you Holy Spirit for speaking through this man to our hearts.
God guided me to watch this tonight. I have been asking what the true fear of God is. I knew it was respect, but John Bevere took it much farther. I broke down in tears and repentance to God. I have been set free and will run into my Father’s arms.
Thank you Jesus!
Praise God, happy for you
Same. God bless 🙏
Hi do you see the words But I suffer not a woman to teach, found written in 1 Timothy 2:12? 1 Timothy 2:12King James Version12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. Amen.
@@Dale65378 are you telling me that because I am a woman that God can’t and won’t use me? If so, you are sourly mistaken. If God cannot and will not use me because I am a woman He would not have come to me when I was a small child and told me what I was created for and why I was born into the family I was born into. He would not have sent His Holy Spirit and His angels to me over the years to teach me and to protect me. Jesus would never have come to me on many occasions and spoken to me, nor would He have taken me into heaven and shown me mighty things. Plus all throughout the Bible God used women to lead. Read about Deborah in the book of Judges. In the New Testament Mark’s mother and grandmother lead church out of their home. It is written that in the last days God will pour out on men and women. I hope this has helped you to understand not to dictate what God can and will do or who God will or won’t use. Blessings
I had followed Bevere for a while. What I appreciated most about his books is the constant reference to scripture. While other preachers share their thoughts, Bevere shares his thoughts with the word giving the reader the chance to consider things for himself.
Praying for everyone here who's experiencing depression, anxiety, those who lost their jobs that God grant them healing and restoration of their faith. Amen ❤
Thank you
A word in season! I am so challenged by this teaching! I repent today from all disobedience 😢🙌🏾🙌🏾
Love this. I've watched 3 different versions of him preach this. It was great the first time I heard him preach it at Victory a couple of weeks ago. I saw it on TH-cam and felt drawn to watch it again. But seriously, God keeps asking me to rewatch this same sermon. To the point where it started playing on its own. I wasn't on my phone, my phone was closed but this sermon started playing somehow. I opened my phone and no apps were even open. I opened up TH-cam and it was playing on its own. Needless to say, I watched it again!
Já ouvi o estudo um coração ardente várias vezes e toda vez que termino tenho vontade de assistir novamente 😂 Jhon bevere realmente é um homem cheio do espírito santo...
I sent this message to many of my Christian Friends…. Every Christian needs to hear this message!!!!
Pastor John is helping us fall madly in love with God. He is a relationship counselor and a megaphone for the heart of God. He is stetting the expectations right based on God's standard and whoever has ears let them listen. Follow this teaching and your relationship with God will blossom, it will work.
Don’t tolerate sin in your life or in the life of others. That is good right there.
What you are willing to tolerate you can not change.
Do you tolerate sin in your life, your own sin or another’s?
Lord help me to hate what you hate. And love what you love.
Oh how I long to be a friend of God.
Your messages and books on obedience and the fear of God have forever changed my life.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Pastor John
A young man from France
❤
About a year ago, a married man tried to seduce me. Instantly, I became enraged and said loudly: "Have you no fear of God?" The man was amazed, and answered "What has God to do with this?" I answered: "Everything!" About a month later, another married man tried to seduce me. I am a 68 year old woman with gray hair and wrinkles with a frumpy body. I don't experience anything like this, but it was happening for the 2nd time, in less than a month. Even more furious: I demanded: "Where is your fear of God?" Flabbergasted, he asked: "What has God to do with this?" I yelled back at him: ""God has everything to do with my decisions. I don't want to risk losing Him, and I would lose Him if I made love with you!" After I slammed the door on him, I broke down and wept. I heard myself praying repeatedly: "God I don't want to lose you!" Now, I know what I was experiencing is the true fear of God.
God sees you. Stay firm in Him.
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
You do not need to fear His leaving you. Hebrews 13. He has said He will never leave you or forsake you. He does not lie. Numbers 23:19. You glorified God by submitting yourself to Him and resisting the devil. May I also say Dear Anna that you invoked God's authority and name and those men and the devil could not touch you! Hallelujah! You drew near, you were obedient to submit your will and it glorified God. He is pleased with you and Jesus in you. For you in your belief, have you been united to Jesus and raised up with Him. God is Awesome!
@@sandrastacey4428 I completely agree.
Oh sis......no.....there is no fear of God anymore in the "goats"...thats why their "goats "...
The fear is in "HIS SHEEP"...because "HIS SHEEP HEAR HIS VOICE".....
C YA IN GLORY !
I just had the most incredible encounter with God as I watched this video. I know I wasn’t present as this teaching was happening, but God flooded my bedroom with a violent wind! And I began to tremble under the weight of His presence and began to cry! I’ve only had one other tangible encounter like that but many years ago! I’m so grateful for this teaching and I KNOW my life has been marked from this day forward
Amen 🙏🏿
One of the Most Profound teachings by an Anointed Teacher. Tears while walking on the treadmill. Thank You!
I'm 66 years old and cannot understand how anyone who sings in a praise and worship team and this person keeps hands in pockets. Being Black with a Pentacostal background and ancestors who praised God the whole service, this generation is not connected but pray life will draw them closer. I was told 46 years ago to keep living? Now I understand. Oooweee OH how I love calling His name...Hallelujah
This is really a thought provoking message. I appreciate it. ❤. My flesh is so weak. Sometimes I feel like I'll never measure up to Jesus. I want friendship with Jesus. Living a holy life is not easy. I have started examining my heart. To be honest I don't like what I see but I welcome correction from the Lord even if it hurts to hear the truth.
Jesus accepts you now. Is thinking so much about you.
I can’t listen to this all in one shot. I feel like I’m jumping out of my skin. I have to bawl….oh JESUS HAVE MERCY ON US and SET US ON FIRE WITH THIS WORD!!!😢😢😢😢 OH LOVER OF MY SOUL I DESIRE TO FEAR YOU WITH EVERYTHING WITHIN ME. I WANT TO LIVE BEFORE YOUR EYES. TO MAKE YIUR HEART GLAD. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS WORD Pastor John Bevere! The anointing and power on it
"When you're not interested in something , you don't think about it very much."
"I feel so clean. How many pastors started the ministry in love with Jesus, but they didn't endure forever.(Psalms 19:9)"
I find it very relatable when he talks about obeying what God says to say and having the presence of God show up but out of everyone he’s the one that has a hard time believing it happened. Just standing there shook along with everyone else. God is amazing.
Jesus cleans me lord! I haven’t been walking in the fear of the lord! I truly thirst for this
God bless you and Lisa PROFOUNDLY for preaching the FEAR OF THE LORD! This is what we, our families and our nation needs DESPERATELY! May God raise up MORE AND MORE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE COURAGE TO LIVE , preach and teach this!
ABBA FATHER GIVE US MASSIVE GRACE TO WALK IN EVER INCREASING FEAR OF THE LORD…DAILY!!! In Jesus mighty Name we BELIEVE and therefore receive this!!!!
I could feel the annointing
Am listening as I work and I burst out crying thank God hallelujah
YES AND AMEN IN 2023
My oldest son is an inmate in Texas. My prayers are being answered as he was led to your teachings, being prepared to take his place in the world as the man God created him to be. This is the first of you I have listened to . God is bringing to my son thru your teachings what He has put in my heart to pray for my son. Good bless you.
May Jesus continue to bless your son, to bless you and your family! May you live out Gods will in Jesus name!
Thanks, John for this mind-blowing sermon. It is life changing message from the Lord. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. I praise God for your life and your family. God bless you.
With this video ive finally felt the presence of God. I started crying without sadness, and my heart felt light and like it was releasing a deep sorrow. Ive never experienced anything like this before, I'm not an emotional person. I have never cried in the last year or two i would say. Thank you pastor for opening my eyes to the glory of God. May God continue to bless you.
Praise God for men of God that are standing for righteousness and hating sin/evil! Your book, Bait of Satan was a blessing to my church group when we studied it! God bless you for not going after culture but after Christ! 🔥🤲🩸🙏.
Our ABBA FATHER GOD’S WILL “IS” BEEN ACCOMPLISHED HERE ON EARTH EVEN AS IT IS IN OUR HEARTS, THROUGH CHRIST JESUS’ NAME. ❤❤❤😊😅😂❤❤❤
Thank you God. I give my life to you and choose to be your bride!
I accept you as my Lord and Savior
John: Thank you forever! I have found my Lord waiting for me just where I foolishly left and then visited Him. I have truly worked out my own salvation w the Lord alone, through fear and trembling. He has been so merciful to me. I too love righteousness and HATE sin now . Sin is the biggest, most deceptive, manipulation and liar that can lead the most righteous man to hell. I have complete awe, respect, reverence, love and fear to Yahweh. He introduced me to himself as “Abba” for the fist time. WOW! I don’t have words. I just thank the Holy Spirit for leading me to you . Breakthroughs come anytime, anywhere, huh? AMAZING GOD!!!!
The conviction!!! I Had to watch this two times because the message was powerful!! Thank You LORD for your Word!!
Respect and reverence of the lord is very much lacking in the church today. This teaching is so important, Thank You John Bevere!
Hi from LifeChurch. What perfect timing. Awe of God released at this time of Revival!!
It speaks to us what God wants us to do & for the power of God to fall!!
Honestly helped me a lot. I want to get closer to God. Praise Jesus!!!!!!!
Second video watching this guy, and I just love the way God is moving through him and providing revelations. Jehova Jireh THANK YOU and have mercy on me and everyone here!
Praise God! Thank you for sharing this!
Anointed to preach in a way...this world...the church... Take notes! Help US ALL TO KNOW THE FEAR AND AWE OF GOD!!!
Thank you so much Pastor John Bevere, after listening and watching your preaching my life is not the same.
Congratulations to you and Lady Lisa Sir! 👏👏👏👏👏
He preached this in Indianapolis years ago. I went to hear it. What a great message!
Alright John!! SAY IT!!! Preach brother!!! Imma go somewhere, sit down and take it in. Glory!!!
All glory to GOD and to my Saviour LORD JESUS , for this powerful word, truly blessed energized and edified , Thank you so much Ps John Bevere 🙏🫡for being so faithful in sharing the powerful GOD .
How is it that this is the first time I'm hearing of you??? What a timely message. 👏
John and his wife Lisa have a great ministry!
This very valuable message helped me understand my Lord so much better and the different relationships God had with us ! It’s our choice how close to Him we choose to be!❤❤❤
This was absolutely powerful! I was blessed to know I can have a healthy fear of the Lord.
This is such an exceptional message! So powerful and never heard such a sermon in my life and I listen to loads. God bless you, sir!
I so agree I so honor the gifting that God has called this man to and how he shared that with all of us praise be the Lord Jesus Christ no name above the name of Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus I could not even say that if you didn’t put your Holy Spirit in me thank you
Thank you...thank you so so much for this precious message, brother John. 🙏🏼 This message brought me to repentance 😭😭😭
Thank you so much breaking down what fearing him is. I was wondering was I fearing him just this morning. I was moving away from God in spirit and felt it. You confirmed what I needed to know. Thank you!
Yes , praise God for pastors like you and Lisa. I love you both. Fearing God equals being obedient, putting "Him" first, respecting "Him" loving Him with all our hearts and mind?After all He created us for "His" purpose, His pleDure, Amen.
Im so sad the message was cut at the blessing! Wonderful message...Thank YOU LORD 4 YOUR revelation given to Bevere family. I receive it from YOUR right hand into my right hand LORD. Strengthen me in YOUR FEAR and LOVE!
new john bevere youtube notifications >>>>>>>> everything else
Absolutely astounding message…. Did not want it to end….. I desire to be a FRIEND of GOD!!!!!!!
This message hit me hard but I needed every bit of it! Thank You Jesus for the word!🔥
Not only a great, but very inspirational. Praise God for John, his wife and family.
Thank you Lord 🥰❤️ Be blessed John and thank you for your obidience 🙏🏻❤️
Pastor John is an excellent story teller. Makes the story real and visible. Hallelujah Hallelujah Sweet Jesus
What a beautiful teaching 😭😭 I never understood what the fear of the lord was 🙌 thank you John and thank you Lord for the life of John
Forgive me Lord God for not fearing You correctly and respectfully. In Jesus' name. Amen! I do want to know You!
this is what I needed. i Love You Lord Jesus !
Thank for the word
Thank you John. I sawet for answer
To the fear of the lord. I new he didn't want me to be afraid of him.
You in the spirit of God made it very
Clear. Thank God in Jesus name.
I do have the fear of god but struggle with doubts and the negative voices in my head. I can't hear God's voice and I hope that through prayer and pushing on I can reach that stage. 🙏 I want a friendship with the Lord more than anything else. Murielle
I’m not there yet either but prayer, fasting and getting deliverance helps.
The reason you can’t hear Gods voice is because your not spending enough time with the Lord, just press in and incline your ear to Him, and He speaks
What an incredible message. I needed to hear this message thankyou jesus father and holy spirit. John Bevere is an amazing man of God and I had goosebumps listening to him we all need the fear of God to grow nearer to him and truly know our father's beautiful heart and love for each and every one of us AMEN🙏
Listening to the explanation of the Fear of the Lord was eye-opening.
Thank you for listening to the wisdom you've received and sharing with the world.
God in Heaven, I thank you . God Bless and preserve you Pastor John
I agree with, thehign. That is the
Same road i took. But i thank God so much for Jesus and what
He did for me. God bless you.
So timely for me. Lately I have been thinking about the fear of the Lord. I believe the Holy Spirit led me to this.
It has confirmed and clarified much.
Thanks for your obedience to preach and teach this. I do believe this is exactly where we, the church of the Lord Jesus needs to be in these days.
I also love the analogy of the wedding.
We as His bride is taking every step in the presence of witnesses and all other friends, family, etc., to leave all and be forever joined to our bridegroom, Jesus, who is waiting for us by the Father.
He has done all. Now is our walk of acceptance to give ourselves totally to Him. Love is the greatest, but fear, awe, respect, will join us to Him eternally.
I DO want Jesus to know me!
Thanks for this awesome sermon!
Amen, fear of the Lord is what the saints have. They are truly terrified being far from the Lord. If we truly love Him we always want more of Him everyday.
Man that prayer at the end had me seeing Jesus indeed. Sad it seems incomplete but thanks for this entire talk. I learned a lot.
John please don't change your message. It is so needed.
This popped on my phone and i am blessed because i listened. Ooh i need the fear of the lord. Amen, I am truely blessed by this message. God bless you
Thank you 🙏🙏 so much. Finally after years understood what Fear of the Lord means! May God bless you! I am convicted always seeking intimacy with Jesus with knowing that fear of the Lord is a major component...so well explained. 🙏🙏🙏
God Bless you in Jesus name may the Holy Spirit of God continue to lead you into the fellowship of our Lord Jesus Christ In Jesus name Amen
i know for a fact that God wanted me to watch this. This entire sermon is filled with the anointing and truth and i thank you Lord for revealing your truth to all of us who watched.
Same
Jesus! Holy Spirit fills me listening to this. I have tears of joy! Hallelujah
I LOVE YOU JESUS✝️
Praise be to God!
WOW!!!
Incredible. Very powerful.
Thanks John for being a friend of God. He is speaking to many churches about obedience. I have not really thought about the context of drawing near and walking into deep friendship. Much to ponder
This message was amazing!!! Thank you Pastor John Bevere!
What a blessing to listen to John and learn more than ever about the fear of God. We all as Christians need to hear more about the fear of God beside the love of God.
The five signs of the fear of God. As I experienced His presence it was easily done and the outcome was amazing too.
Wow just Wow Praise the Lord Almighty!hallellujah
Thank you!
Pearcing Message Through My Sin. Blessed Are You Oh Lord. Thank you John!!
Jesus, I submit myself to you.
Mercy Lord🙌🏾
What an awesome lesson
Just wow. And Thank you
I love this message and agree 100% . If we don’t have the fear of the Lord we are not His followers. We have to give everything to follow Jesus. Thank you so much for making this clear, too many people don’t want to let go of their habitual sin, and still believe that they are following Jesus. I pray everyone opens their eyes and understand what it means to follow Jesus. I am seriously terrified to think that Jesus would leave my hand and walk away. I never want to take one step without My Lord. I love You Lord. Thank you for loving me and saving me. Amen 🙏
Philippians 2:12-15 KJVS
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. [13] For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. [14] Do all things without murmurings and disputings: [15] That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
This sermon has blessed me so much. God bless your Ministry, Mr Bevere.
Wow!!! Lord forgive me for tolerating sin in my life and the lives of others 😢
I receive this prayer
Just needed to say this. I was having difficulty with keeping a close relationship with God. I went asleep that night. And the words written in Bold was The awe of God. I asked God to explain it to me. He said focus on the awe of God. I asked him where would i get info on this. He said you will learn it from the one whose podcast you sometimes watch. I said John Bevere. He said yes. He is a true man of God. Statement made. Obedience follows. May God continue to bless you and your family. True man of God.
My parents raised me and all my siblings in "The Fear of Yah". I've understood from.
a young age most of these principles. I've seen a lack of this fear in the church which has greatly concerned me. I thought a lot of people would get left behind because they didn't understand His Holy fear. Yahweh is so very gracious and merciful. It isn't a coincidence that this teaching has come out during a time like this. Yeshua is coming back sooner than most of us realize. He wants His bride ready without spot or wrinkle. When we are standing face to face He doesn't desire to tell us "depart from me, you who work lawlessness" (Anomia). This teaching is a LARGE ACT OF MERCY! Receive His fear and REPENT from sin.1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
1 John 5:3
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Thank you Lord for guiding me to this video. So many times I have tried to make my version of Jesus while allowing sin and things of this world to guide me. Forgive me Lord. I want to follow in your ways and do what pleases you even when it doesn’t make sense.
