Fearing God is a deep reverence and respect for God. The fear of God is respecting Him, obeying Him, submitting to His discipline, and worshiping Him in awe.
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 😢
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 find it hard to fear God, not because I think he is weak or not worth fearing, but I know how much he genuinely and truly loves us. Its hard to fear my lord when I know he only has love for me,
I completely 1000% agree. The reason I stopped what I was doing when I became a Christ follower is the thought of my daddy coming home and punishing me or being disappointed in me, now elevate that thought when it's time to bring everything before the thorn of our Almighty God. I strive to hear well done good and faithful servant.
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?
I don't consider myself a Christian by any means because of my life's experiences. My father is Catholic & has brought me to church several times in the past when I was barely able to recall the details. There were times in my youth where I tried to get back into it & was never able to. I also see how my life turned out & just never got called to that sort of thing. I've watched one of Dewayne's videos on forgiveness & applied that principle to God/universe & said that I forgave them for how I was treated in life. & like Dewayne said in that video, "You can forgive but you do not have to accept them back." I forgave, still do not trust God/universe. If I were to look back at them, it's not fear, but rather, "You hate me. I will never make you happy, & you are only out to hurt me." So I just move along my life trying to do the best I can with what I have, fighting & hoping for a better life, while believing that I'm alone on this. I came to this video because I've heard the phrase before & wanted to get some understanding. I heard some parallels to my perspective & life here, so maybe it's a weird way to bring me closer, but it will take a lot of time for any love/trust to come back.
Thank you again for bringing us your intimate knowledge of scripture for us men hungry for righteous living. You're a true blessing for us men that don't have a real spirit of strength. God knew what he was doing. Thank you God
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 🙏🏼

Always look to Jesus. Where we stare,we steer.

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🙏
I believe the best way to gain wisdom is praying daily for wisdom and discernment.
Hey DeWayne,
Thank you for posting this. I haven't been fearing God anywhere near enough and this has really helped me to see that
