FAITH CAPSULE: <\/strong>Understanding and prayer will enable one to fear God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeremiah 32<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone who does not live in the fear of God is evidence of a lack of faith, living not to please God.
Hebrews 11:5<\/strong><\/em> testifies, “By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death because he pleased God.”<\/strong><\/em>
When faith rises, fear of this world is bound to sink.
Do you have faith in pleasing God or living in the fear of the world?
Search yourself to identify if you truly fear God.
Gain the understanding to live by the fear of God.
Many who claim to fear God often exhibit a character marked by telling lies to deceive and manipulate their world.
A believer who claims to fear God, full of the word of God in the mouth but not in the heart, is described as wicked. (Jeremiah 12:1-2)<\/strong><\/em>  
Understand with the knowledge to have an edge, fearing God.
Among the ways to gain and grow in the fear of God are: to learn to understand the word of God and to pray that God enable one to fear Him.<\/strong><\/em>
BY UNDERSTANDING LEARN<\/strong>.
Having an understanding of learning through hearing the word of God will enable one to fear God.
Deuteronomy 4:10,<\/strong><\/em> God said to the Israelites, “I will let them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me…”<\/strong><\/em>
Understanding is crucial to fear and live for God.
Jesus, rhetorically, questioned and answered, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.” (John 8:43)<\/strong><\/em>
Strive for understanding to fear God all the days He has given you to live.
BY PRAYING BECOME ONE WITH FEAR<\/strong>
With desire, not just determination, pray before God to do what it takes to fear Him.
God answers prayer.
Ask God who gives.
Matthew 7:7<\/strong><\/em> states, God promised, will give, stating, \u201cAsk, and it will be given to you…”<\/strong><\/em>
Jeremiah 32:39<\/strong><\/em> records, “I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever…”<\/strong><\/em>
Ask to be given what it takes to fear God.
One who asks God to fear Him will receive a life that pleases God.
With the desire to fear God, God enables you to increase, living in faith, not in fear of this world. (When faith rises, fear sinks.
Ask<\/strong> for understanding through hearing the word of God, and that you fear God, and become established in His life.
PRAYING FOR UNDERSTANDING IS PRAYING TO KNOW THE FEAR OF GOD.<\/strong>
Hosea 4:6<\/strong><\/em> informs, \u201cMy people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>
Whatever one lacks, one does not have.
Having knowledge is rooted in having understanding, the key to existing for God (to live in fear of God).
One must walk in understanding to exist for God, to fear God.
Prayer for today:<\/strong> Ask that God give you one heart and one way, that you fear Him forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
