Fear of the Lord-Pastor David Hoffman

The Fear of the Lord Defined
After much thought and prayer I can come to believe that the
fear of the Lord is comprised of two truths:
1. An understanding that there are consequences for
disobedience and blessing for obedience.
2. A growing awareness of who God is as we see the first
truth played out in our lives or others’.

Pastor David Hoffman-Fear of the Lord

God is severe...He must be taken seriously. But more than
severe, He is kind and good. He repeatedly extends opportunities
for His children to escape severity when they choose to obey.

Pastor D. Hoffman-Fear of the Lord

Fear needs to be a Christian’s response to God!
It is important to remember that when I insert the word
terrified it does not mean terrified by fear of torment or torture.
Paul says in Romans 11:22:
Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those
who fell, severity, but to you, God’s kindness.

Above the Storm-Carol Hopson

We then looked at Philippians 2:3-8 where God tells us
to have the attitude that was in Christ Jesus, who did nothing
from selfishness and didn’t look out for his own interests,
but the interests of others. Then He didn’t demand
His rights but emptied Himself, humbled Himself and was
obedient even unto death. As we talked about this, the
Holy Spirit began to work in her life to show her how selfish
and self-centered she had become. We looked at other
Scriptures to see where our true joy is found and she finally
recognized how strangled she was by Satan’s hold on her
life. At this point she realized that she hadn’t “killed the
attacker” at the first approach and we went back to discover
how it all began. She then realized that she had let a
seed of bitterness take root in her heart and we talked of
how it grew day by day. That little seed, allowed to flourish,
had brought her to a point of hatred, anger, discontent,
and had almost destroyed her marriage and home.

Rejoice in the Lord always; and again I will say
rejoice!

After listening to her, I asked her what she thought of
God’s Word. She replied that she believed it and thought
we should obey it. I asked if she was willing to see what
God’s Word had to say about her situation. She seemed
surprised, but said she was willing.

God:The Revealer of Secrets-Nancy Dufresne

This verse tells us that we were “born anew”; we were
born again, so that we may do the “good works” that God
planned for us to do.
When we were born again, we became God’s children,
and we are assured that we will go to live with our Father
in heaven when we leave this earth. How wonderful it is
to know that.

God Has A Plan
There’s a verse that God has been holding before me
that is so big, and broad in wealth. Let’s look at it in Ephesians
2:10.
For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship),
recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that
we may do those good works which God predestined
(planned beforehand) for us [taking paths
which He prepared ahead of time], that we should
walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged
and made ready for us to live].

Fear of the Lord-Pastor David Hoffman

Christians need to talk about the FEAR OF THE
LORD!
It is difficult to relate to our loving, kind, merciful God in this
way but look again at Jesus’ words in Matthew 10:28. This time
I replaced the word “fear” with “be terrified,” which is the
meaning of the word Matthew used which is “phobeo:”
Do not be terrified by those who kill the body but are
unable to kill the soul; but rather be terrified of Him
who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Pastor David Hoffman-Fear of the Lord

Christians love to talk about JESUS OUR FRIEND!
He told us in John 15 that a friend is one who will lay down
his life for another and Jesus certainly did that for you and me!
Jesus is a friend! But He is also a Lord, King, God and Creator!
With one snap of His finger He can turn a person into a piece of
dust.

Pastor D. Hoffman-Fear of the Lord

Christians love to talk about the FORGIVENESS
OF GOD!
Forgiveness is one of the greatest benefits of Christianity!
Every day you have the opportunity to start with a clean slate.
If you blew it yesterday, it is okay! When you truly repent, He
forgives you and forgets your sin!

Above the Storm-Carol Hopson

This woman had opened the door to anger and bitterness
without even realizing that Satan had worked his
way in and was “chewing her up.” She was so deep into her
own hurts and emotions, which is Satan’s strategy, that
she couldn’t clearly see what damage she was doing to herself
and her family, let alone the pain this was bringing to
her Lord.

Mrs. Carol Hopson-Above the Storm

There are two things we can learn from this. The first
is how sneaky the serpent is. It is hardly ever seen until it
is ready to do great harm and I believe that it’s the same
in our spiritual lives. Satan can slither his way into our
lives through our thoughts and emotions, if we’re not alert
and watching for danger.
Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary,
the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion seeking
someone to devour. But resist him, firm in your
faith...
(1 Peter 5:8,9a)

Mrs. C Hopson-Above the Storm

Because the eagle makes his nest so high up, he doesn’t
have to fear many predators. But there is one enemy
that can be deadly to the baby eaglets if they are not protected
by their parents. This enemy is the snake. He will
seek to slither up the mountain, cliff, or tree and try to stay
hidden until he appears in the nest. If the eaglets spot him,
they will screech as loud as they can, which is a call for
help from their mother. If she is close by, she will swoop
in to rescue her young. She will either peck the snake to
death right there or even bite his head completely off.
Another way she might get rid of the enemy is to grab it
with her strong talons and fly in search of a sharp rock or
cliff and then throw it against the rock to kill it. In both
instances, the attack on the enemy is immediate and successful.
She doesn’t wait to see what will happen, she is
keenly aware of the danger and the enemy is not welcome
in her home.

God:The Revealer of Secrets-Nancy Dufresne

It’s God’s own plan that He will sustain. There is total
and complete provision and supply with His plan. To abandon
His plan is to abandon His supply and provision. To
walk out His plan, is to walk in His provision.
No man-made plan carries divine supply. No divine
plan can be sustained by man’s supply. A divine plan – a
divine supply; that’s living in its highest sense!

N. Dufresne-God: Revealer of Secrets

“…I was not disobedient unto the HEAVENLY vision.”
God has a vision, a plan, for every man’s life. Paul declared
which vision he was living for – not his own, but heaven’s.
Jesus succeeded because He stayed with heaven’s plan.
Paul succeeded because he lived for heaven’s plan. Your
success lies in living out heaven’s plan.
I don’t want to one day stand before Jesus and Him
show me a video of a life unlived, a plan of heaven unfulfilled.

In God’s plan, Paul worked great feats of divine power;
he spread the Gospel among the Gentiles, and penned over
half of the New Testament – all a part of God’s plan.
Almost 2,000 years after Paul’s death, we are still being
blessed by Paul’s obedience to God’s plan. Just think what
this world would look like if every child of God was fully
obedient to, and finished God’s plan.

OBEDIENT TO THE HEAVENLY VISION
When we read in Acts 26:19 of Paul’s sermon before
King Agrippa, we see an identical claim Paul made as he
stood before the king. “…I was not disobedient unto the
HEAVENLY vision.” What was the “heavenly vision”? It
was God’s plan for Paul’s life. He declared before the king
that he was living God’s plan for his life.

Fear of the Lord-Pastor David Hoffman

Christians love to talk about the LOVE OF GOD!
That is good...we should talk about it! Three times each
weekend I have the privilege of standing alongside my spiritual
family of brothers and sisters to worship our Father, experience
His love and enjoy His presence. There is nothing better! I sense
God’s presence more in those surroundings than when I worship
alone, and I have a deeper sense of His love for me. It is
wonderful!

Pastor D. Hoffman-Fear of the Lord

If God meant something other than true fear, as described by
the Hebrew and Greek words used in scripture, He easily could
have inspired Isaiah, Jeremiah, David, Solomon, Malachi, Jesus,
John, Peter and Paul to write other words. But these men chose
words that mean fear, alarm, terror and dread.
Love...Forgiveness...Friendship...FEAR!
Fear of the Lord is so important, yet it is largely ignored by
many Christians.

Above the Storm-Carol Hopson

I’ve seen it happen over and over
again. I’ve been sitting with a
woman and I’ve heard such anger
and bitterness come out of her
mouth. One woman in particular
comes to mind. Because of her husband’s
work, they had moved to San
Diego from another state and she
hated it, not because it was a terrible
place to live, but because it wasn’t
what she wanted. She had asked to
meet with me and was now reciting
her husband’s faults and all of her
problems. She didn’t want to move,
she didn’t have family here, she had
no friends, she didn’t want to go to a
new church, she didn’t want to speak
to her husband or show him any love,
she hated his job, she couldn’t stand
her kids, and so on. Yet, this person
claimed to be a Christian who loved
the Lord and wanted to please Him. How could anyone get
so off track? How could such anger and resentment take
hold in a believer’s life? Doesn’t God promise that “He will
work all things together for good to them that love God and
are called according to His purpose”? (Romans 8:28) To
help explain what had happened to her, I need to tell you
what the eagle must constantly be on the lookout for.

Mrs. C Hopson-Above the Storm

TO PREEN OR NOT TO PREEN
To preen, or not to preen?
The question of the day
Should I just go on with life
Assuming I’m okay?
Should I stop and clean my heart
Before my day begins?
Or should I just get going with
My work that never ends?
Is there time to read a verse
And all my sins confess?
Is there time to pray that God
Will free me of my stress?
If there’s not time to talk with God
Before I hit the road
Then I must realize my life
Will be a heavy load.

God:The Revealer of Secrets-Nancy Dufresne

Every test and temptation that man could ever experience
came against Jesus, yet He faced each one without
sin. How did He accomplish such a feat? He was held safe
as He stayed in God’s plan for His life.
Jesus let us know in this passage in John 4:34 that His
meat, His nourishment, His supply for living, was living
out God’s plan for His life.
Outside of God’s plan, no man is assured of divine nourishment.

divine plan for his life.

As Jesus walked out God’s plan for His life every day,

mankind as they were when Jesus confronted them. He
exercised absolute, perfect dominion over them.
As Jesus moved throughout this earth, moving among
men and mastering evil powers, He became Satan’s prime
target. Every device that hell had was launched against
this Man of mastery; yet, each evil attack was deflected
and overcome by this One.

Jack studied me for another minute or two and then

brilliantly, “It’s supposed to make Nana look pretty.”
That’s when my precious grandson thoughtfully replied,
“Nana, I don’t sink it’s working!”
If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving
ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess
our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us

finish, going all the way to Calvary.
If you don’t finish, it doesn’t really matter that you

N. Dufresne-God: Revealer of Secrets

The Amplified translation states that He was to
“…accomplish and completely finish His work.” We have
assignments that God has assigned to our lives to accomplish.
We are to not only go the direction of those divine
assignments, but we are to “…completely finish His work.”
It’s one thing to start something, but it’s a completely
different thing to finish something. “Starters” are a dimea-
dozen, but “finishers” are one-in-a-million. Many are
eager to start, but few are eager to finish. Zeal will start
something, but it takes faith, patience and faithfulness to
finish something.

Dr. E. Dufresne-How to Flow With Anointings and Mantles

Jesus was letting us know that the “food” for His entire
life, what nourished Him, what sustained Him, what supplied
Him, and what fed His daily life, was living His life
according to God’s will, living His life in line with the plan
that God mapped out for Him to fulfill. What food was to
His body, the plan of God was to His spirit. As food sustained
his physical life, the plan of God sustained His spiritual
life.

Fear of the Lord-Pastor David Hoffman

Phobos, means “alarm or fright; fear, dread, terror.” Luke
used this word to describe the people’s response toward God
when they saw Jesus heal the paralytic in Luke 5:26:
They were all struck with astonishment and began
glorifying God; and they were filled with fear, saying,
‘We have seen remarkable things today.’
Friend, when the Bible says “fear” it means fear!

Pastor David Hoffman-Fear of the Lord

There are several Greek words for “fear.” The two used most
often in the New Testament to describe the fear of the Lord are
phobeo and phobos.
Phobeo means “to frighten or terrify”; it is the word Jesus used
when He said:
Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill
the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both
soul and body in hell. [Matthew 10:28]

Pastor D. Hoffman-Fear of the Lord

Though yirah is a slight variation of yare, it still simply
means “fear!”
Pachad is another Hebrew word often translated “fear.” It
means “alarm; terror; dread.” It is the word used in 2 Chronicles

And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of
the lands that were round about Judah, so that they
made no war against Jehoshaphat. [KJV]

Above the Storm-Carol Hopson

NANA’S STORY
Little Jack was visiting us and we loved having him
and his big brother, Elliot, come and spend the night with
us. I usually tried to get up a little earlier than the boys so
I could be ready for the day before they needed my attention.
This particular morning, Jack came sleepily into the
bathroom where I was putting my makeup on. He rubbed
his eyes and said, “Morning, Nana.” I knelt down, hugged
him and responded, “Morning, Jack.” I then returned to
finish the task at hand. I was using my eyelash curler
while Jack looked up at me and said, “Nana, what you
doing?” To which I replied, “I’m putting my makeup on,
Jack.”

heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. For
My yoke is easy, and My load is light.

On both mornings, at different places, God rearranged
the schedules so that this wasn’t a problem for them. And,
as I shared with the women of my delay and what God had
done in my heart, it truly touched others. I had many
women tell me that it was just what they needed to hear
and the illustration was so fresh, personal, and real that
they could understand and identify with it. Thank you,
God, for teaching me this precious truth.

God:The Revealer of Secrets-Nancy Dufresne

The Man of Mastery
…My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and
to finish his work.
(John 4:34)
In this passage of scripture, Jesus gives us the key to
His success – He stayed with God’s will for His life – He
stayed with the plan God gave Him to fulfill.
I like how the Amplified Bible translates this same
verse.
...My food (nourishment) is to do the will (pleasure)
of Him Who sent Me and to accomplish and completely
finish His work.

N. Dufresne-God: Revealer of Secrets

Long life is part of the covenant of every child of God,
but there are conditions that must be met; there are spiritual
habits that must be implemented, and the development
of a man’s spirit that must take place.
Living out God’s plan for one’s life is what causes a man
to jump out of bed, eager for the day to start. It is what
brings purpose to his day and keeps his insides satisfied.
The truly fulfilled man is the man who knows God’s
plan, and walks it out every day of his life.
Let’s study together that we may know what God
planned for us long before we were born.

Fear of the Lord-Pastor David Hoffman

The Hebrew word yirah, a form of yare, is frequently used
when fear of the Lord is associated with benefits such as in these
examples from Proverbs:
The fear of the Lord prolongs life. [10:27]
In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence, and His
children will have refuge. [14:26]
The reward of humility and the fear of the Lord are
riches, honor and life. [22:4]

Pastor David Hoffman-Fear of the Lord

That word yare is translated “afraid” in Zechariah 9:5. It is
used to describe how Israel’s enemies felt when they saw God
destroy another of Israel’s enemies with fire... knowing they were
next!

It is also important to know the meaning of the Hebrew and

English. The Hebrew word used most often for “fear” is the Old
Testament word yare. It is the word used in Deuteronomy 6:13:
You shall fear only the Lord your God; and you shall
worship Him and swear by His name.

Above the Storm-Carol Hopson

Last week, I had a very busy speaking schedule and
was traveling to early morning meetings two days in a row.
On both mornings, there was an accident on the road
which caused almost an hour delay each morning. This
can be extremely frustrating for a speaker who always
likes to be early, or at least very prompt. So, situations like
this can make me tense, nervous, worried, and frustrated.
I had been given no cell number so couldn’t contact anyone
to let them know where I was. Now here’s the exciting
part! As I came to a dead stand-still in the traffic, the Holy
Spirit immediately recalled to my mind the prayer I had
made that morning. I remembered that I had yielded my
plans to God’s plans and asked Him to help me use it for
His glory. This was not a surprise to God! This was out of
my control but not out of His. And so, I completely relaxed
in my Heavenly Father’s presence and spent the time loving
Him and praising Him and thanking Him for whatever
He was going to do. Believe me, this is not my human
response to a traffic delay and not being on time for a
speaking engagement. But God, in His grace, helped me
go with His plan.

The final preparation is to “yield” myself and my day to
the Lord. This is when I pray, “Lord, I accept whatever
You put into or take out of my life today. Please help me
trust You and use all that today brings for your glory.”
When I’ve started my day with this prayer, I don’t become
discouraged or overwhelmed with circumstances that I
didn’t plan on because I’ve already committed them to the
Lord. And, I remember that I’ve given Him full control of
my day, so whatever I’m facing is not a surprise to Him.
Therefore I can relax and rest and go with His plan.

C. Hopson-Above the Storm

The “ask” part of the prayer is where I lay down my
load. I tell God about all the things that are on my heart,
things I want to change but can’t. I pray for loved ones and
ask for specific things for each one. I take whatever concerns
me and leave it at Jesus’ feet. Then I can go on about
my day with a free spirit that’s ready to love and forgive
others. I’m ready to look for ways to serve the Lord
because I’m not consumed with my own circumstances or
worries.

Above the Storm-Carol Hopson

In my “praise” time, I try to praise God for His attributes,
His faithfulness, His forgiveness, His plan for me, His
abundant love, the specific blessings He has poured on me
and my family. As I move on to “repentance,” I have to
reflect on times that I went against what God’s Word says
and then confess it. Maybe I awoke in the night with some
doubts. Maybe I held a grudge against my husband. God
always brings to mind something for which I need to be
cleansed. And when my heart is cleansed, my relationship
with my Savior is restored and I’m ready to hear Him lead
me throughout the day.

Mrs. C Hopson-Above the Storm

When speaking, I often ask women if they would ever
consider getting up and going about their day, feeding
their children, going to the store etc., without putting any
clothes on. Of course, they look at me with horror and
shake their heads, letting me know that I’ve gone a little
insane. Then I share with them that we often go through
our day, totally unclothed spiritually. Colossians 3:12-17
tells us we are to be “clothed” with compassion, kindness,
humility, gentleness and patience. I then ask them to try
spending five to ten minutes each morning, before facing
their family or their day, getting “spiritually clothed.”
Here is how the acrostic I’ve shared above clothes me for
the day.

This preening process became precious to us and
helped us stay faithful during a very difficult time in our
lives. Another way we prepare in the morning is to use the
following acrostic:
P - praise
R - repent
A – ask
Y – yield

Pastor David Hoffman-Fear of the Lord

Fear of the Lord does not involve torment. Some people
associate fear with torment because they have been abused. God
is not like that! He is not watching and waiting for you to mess
up so He can squish you like an ant. When the Bible refers to
fearing God it has no association with torment.

judge enters his courtroom.

The second part of our daily preparation would be to
“waterproof” ourselves by taking a Scripture verse to commit
to memory for the day. We would then use it to defeat
Satan’s attacks as they came thoughout our days. When
attacked with thoughts such as, “This problem isn’t going
away and your ministry is going to suffer greatly,” we
would recite “He who began a good work in you will perform
it until the day of Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 1:6)

Carol Hopson-Above the Storm

I found it impossible to be steadfast in my faith if I didn’t
have a clean heart, and so this cleansing time was
extremely important. I think that so often we overlook our
own sin and try to go on with our lives, expecting God to
bless us. Some of the sins that seem to easily slip our
minds are anger...a bitter thought...a critical spirit...an
unforgiving heart...a judgmental attitude...a worried mind.
When any of these are present, we are soiled and not ready
to handle the battles of the day.

As I discovered this about the eagle, the Lord opened
my eyes to what my daily routine should be, especially during
times of discouragement, weariness, or doubt. My
husband and I began a “preening” process each morning in
our devotional time. We would steam clean our lives by
asking forgiveness first of all, for the doubts of the night,
or yesterday’s fears. We would make sure that our hearts
were clean before we began the day.
Create in me a clean heart, Oh God, and renew a
steadfast spirit within me.
(Psalm 51:10)

Fear of the Lord-Pastor David Hoffman

So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and
Samaria enjoyed peace, being built up; and, going on in the
fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it
continued to increase. [Acts 9:31]
If the American Church wants revival...wants God to move
among believers and in our cities—we must fear God! Only then
will He send His Holy Spirit to work in and through us. I have
believed for years that if the church would embrace the fear of the
Lord it would bring an infusion of forgiveness, holiness, prayer,
evangelism, miracles, love and obedience.

Verse 9: “He has given freely to the poor; His

When you fear God you choose righteous living. The way in
which you live...your righteous acts...will have influence long after
you are gone. In the Bible “horn” is a symbol of strength. The last
phrase in verse 9 essentially says your strength of character will
be honored.

Mrs. C Hopson-Above the Storm

The reason for my interest in eagles is two-fold. First
of all, I noticed that God used eagles in His Word to illustrate
various truths He wanted to teach us.
For instance, the title of this book comes from learning
what Isaiah 40:31 means when it says:
Those who wait for the Lord will gain new
strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles,
they will run and not get tired, they will walk and
not become weary.
