The speaker reflects on the Old Testament's messages regarding God's omniscience and the call for holy fear, using the example of Ananias and Sapphira to illustrate the dangers of hypocrisy and deceit before God.

    The speaker emphasizes that a deeper understanding of God's greatness leads to a greater fear of Him, and conversely, a diminished fear of God results from reducing His greatness to human levels. Highlighting the Old Testament scriptures, particularly from the Book of Ezekiel, the speaker illustrates how people attempt to hide their actions from God, which is futile. The fear of the Lord serves as a reminder that God sees all, encouraging believers to act as though they are always in the presence of God. The speaker shares the story of Ananias and Sapphira from Acts chapter 5, who lied about their offerings, leading to their demise and instilling great fear in the church. The narrative suggests that the glory of God will manifest even more powerfully in the future, with predictions of a glory seven times greater than that experienced in the Book of Acts, emphasizing the need for healthy fear of God to purify intentions and avoid dishonesty. The lecture concludes with an invitation to explore further resources, including a new book and accompanying videos focused on deepening understanding and transforming lives.

    I want to make a very important
  • 00:00:02
    statement our holy fear grows
  • 00:00:05
    proportionally to our comprehension of
  • 00:00:09
    God's greatness
  • 00:00:11
    the antithesis is also true we'll dumb
  • 00:00:14
    down God's greatness even to the point
  • 00:00:16
    of human limitations the less We Fear
  • 00:00:19
    him that's why you see scriptures in the
  • 00:00:22
    Old Testament
  • 00:00:24
    scriptures in the Book of Ezekiel like
  • 00:00:25
    son of man have you seen what the
  • 00:00:28
    leaders of Israel are saying the Lord
  • 00:00:31
    doesn't see us now we all know when we
  • 00:00:34
    were kids we could hide things from our
  • 00:00:36
    parents right come on we can hide things
  • 00:00:38
    from our friends
  • 00:00:40
    it is one thing to think you can hide
  • 00:00:43
    something from your parents it's another
  • 00:00:45
    thing to think we can hide something
  • 00:00:47
    from God the book of Hebrews says there
  • 00:00:49
    is not one created being that is not
  • 00:00:52
    fully exposed to the eyes of him of whom
  • 00:00:56
    we must give an account hey we've got to
  • 00:00:59
    face it here
  • 00:01:00
    the fear of the Lord keeps us in touch
  • 00:01:03
    with the with the fact that God sees
  • 00:01:05
    everything we do and therefore we have
  • 00:01:08
    an audience and I like to call it an
  • 00:01:09
    audience of one Live Like You're before
  • 00:01:12
    an audience of one knowing that God will
  • 00:01:16
    see you now ananias and Sapphira didn't
  • 00:01:18
    do this in Acts chapter 5 they were
  • 00:01:21
    outdone they were outdone the man from
  • 00:01:24
    Cyprus Barnabas comes in brings the
  • 00:01:26
    massive offering all of a sudden all the
  • 00:01:28
    people's attention goes on to the
  • 00:01:29
    Barnabas it used to be on ananias and
  • 00:01:32
    Sapphira they were probably the biggest
  • 00:01:33
    givers in the church they didn't like
  • 00:01:35
    the fact that the attention went away
  • 00:01:37
    from them and onto the other man so they
  • 00:01:39
    said hey we're going to go sell the
  • 00:01:40
    biggest plot of land we've got and we're
  • 00:01:43
    going to give only part of it because
  • 00:01:44
    it's way too much to give all of it but
  • 00:01:46
    we want to appear we want to appear as
  • 00:01:48
    if we're giving everything and so what
  • 00:01:50
    did they do they lied and when they did
  • 00:01:53
    they did it in the presence of that
  • 00:01:55
    great manifested Glory that we talked
  • 00:01:57
    about in the last chapter and when they
  • 00:01:59
    did this they all over dead now this is
  • 00:02:02
    what's interesting is that the scripture
  • 00:02:04
    says when they fell over dead so great
  • 00:02:08
    fear Came Upon all the church not all
  • 00:02:12
    the city all the church and upon all
  • 00:02:14
    those who heard these things
  • 00:02:17
    you know I believe
  • 00:02:19
    that the glory and the greatness of God
  • 00:02:21
    that manifested in the early church it
  • 00:02:24
    was great but I believe what we're about
  • 00:02:26
    to see in these coming years his glory
  • 00:02:30
    will be even greater in fact God spoke
  • 00:02:33
    to my heart and said the glory of God in
  • 00:02:36
    these last days will be seven times
  • 00:02:38
    greater than the book of Acts seven
  • 00:02:40
    times and I've found scriptures I mean
  • 00:02:42
    the Bible says the glory of the latter
  • 00:02:43
    church will be greater than the former
  • 00:02:45
    the Bible says the end of a thing is
  • 00:02:47
    better in the beginning the Bible says I
  • 00:02:49
    gave you the former Reign the outpouring
  • 00:02:51
    of the spirit in the book of Acts I gave
  • 00:02:52
    it to you moderately which means what
  • 00:02:54
    the latter rain is going to be make the
  • 00:02:57
    book of Acts look like it was moderate
  • 00:02:59
    we are heading for a time of great great
  • 00:03:02
    Glory that's why we need the fear of the
  • 00:03:05
    Lord because it purifies our motives it
  • 00:03:08
    purifies our intentions so we don't do
  • 00:03:11
    something stupid like what ananias and
  • 00:03:13
    Sapphira did lying in the presence of
  • 00:03:16
    God deceiving in the presence of God hey
  • 00:03:20
    this chapter should bring a little holy
  • 00:03:22
