Capturing the Fear of the Lord for a City…

“This is certainly no time for weak men, weak messages and week ministries. What is

needed is moral strength and courage and uncompromising proclamation of the truth that

will set people free” – John MacArthur

Join us this weekend July 1-3 a sacred fast for our city to capture the fear of God to see a

great outpouring of Gods Spirit.

Our Why: Summer Harvest 2023 – 2024

Justice and Mercy (salvation) are two sides of the same coin. For some salvation and

others severe judgment.

1. That we agree with the justice of God to put an end to the evil culture we see:

“Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, go down; For the winepress is full, The vats

overflow— For their wickedness is great.” Joel 3:13

2. That we agree with the mercy of God unto salvation:

“Another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud,

“Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to

reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” Revelation 14:15

Vision and Mission: We are creating spiritual inertia for a citywide canopy of Prayer to be

the fuel for the summer of harvest 2023/ 2024 unlike we ever have seen and into next year

with even more glory of harvest of souls

Summer harvest events include but not limited to:

Below are notes taken from John Bevere’s new book “The Awe of God.” While reading it the

Lord has shown my wife Jodi and I a newfound sense of what is the Fear of the Lord while

demonstrating little golden nuggets along the way.

(share the story of the building for this season of Harvest…)

Here are some notes to reflect upon:

“Only when we are captured by an overwhelming sense of all and reverence in the

presence of God will begin to worship God in spirit and truth. “ Allstiar Begg

 

If the fear of the Lord isn’t preached and taught we may a love for Jesus but still stumble in

sin because of a lack of reverence and holy fear of God. We don’t gain Jesus trust by

simply believing in him at salvation but we must be a friend of God. “Friendship with the

Lord is reserved for those who fear him and He makes known to them His covenant” Psalm

25:14

“The secret of the sweet satisfying companionship of the Lord have they who fear revere

and worship him and he will show them his covenant and reveal to them it’s deep inner

meaning.” Psalm 25:14

Let’s do a double take on our “fear perception” of God and get a new holy awe perspective.

The fear of the Lord will make us clean for His purposes. “The fear of the lord is clean and

enduring forever.” Psalm 19:9

Therefore, having these promises beloved that is to cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of

the flesh and the spirit perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 2 Cor 7:1

“Work out your salvation with fear and trembling for this God who works in you both to will

and to do for his good pleasure.” Philippians 2:1213

Obedience to the Lord – ( My compromise has led to a warm fuzzy relationship with little or

no power to heal and set people free)

We must go higher by knowing the real truth whom is Jesus to be set free:

1. God is the one who knows what’s right for me.

2. God is pure love and I am the focus of his love.

3. God will never tell me to do anything that is detrimental.

4. No matter what He says I gladly choose to obey.

This is what Godly fear looks like:

1. Obey God immediately.

2. Obey God even if it doesn’t make sense.

3. Obey God even when you don’t see a personal benefit.

4. Obey God even if it’s painful.

5. Obey God to completion.

With this view in mind, for us individually, for our city, and the Church of America at

large, below are our 3 Day Fast Instructions for Reflection

I will be leading a live hour broadcast each of the 3 days at 8am however Holy Spirit desires

using the scriptures below. Each person taking part is encouraged to seek the Lord in a

personal “hidden” manner of deep humility, repentance, and prayer for at least 1 hour per

day using the prayers and decrees below. Some are fasting food and water, and others are

doing their own fast according to what the Holy Spirit lays on their heart.

In Repentance and turning to the Fear of the Lord

 

A Call to Repentance

12  “Now, therefore,” says the LORD, “Turn to Me with all your heart,

With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” 13  So rend your heart, and not your

garments; Return to the LORD your God,

For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness;

And He relents from doing harm. 14  Who knows if He will turn and relent,

And leave a blessing behind Him— A grain offering and a drink offering

For the LORD your God?

15  Blow the  [f] trumpet in Zion, Consecrate a fast, Call a sacred assembly;

16  Gather the people, Sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders,

Gather the children and nursing babes; Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber,

And the bride from her dressing room. 17  Let the priests, who minister to the LORD,

Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say, “Spare Your people, O LORD,

And do not give Your heritage to reproach, That the nations should  [g] rule over them.

Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’ ”

and  [f] patience; in joy.”

work of sanctification. “Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in

search for her as for hidden treasures; 5  Then you will understand the fear of the LORD,

And find the knowledge of God. Prov.2:1-5

sin, to implore an outpouring of grace for holiness and newfound fear of the Lord.

We seek the type of fear that makes us His friends again.

 We are going to our King that He would reveal our secret faults and help us:

A) Where we haven’t given instant obedience even when it makes no sense

B) Obey Him when we don’t see personal benefit

C) Obey Him even when its painful

D) Obey Him unto completion

E) Ask forgiveness where we’ve gone against our conscience.

F) Where we’ve strayed from intimacy from Christ while in missions.

G) Keep Jesus and know His truth as supreme over my life

DAY 2

 

LEARNING TO TRUST IN THE FEAR OF GOD

 

T – R – U – S – T

 

“The fear of man brings a snare, but he who trusts in the Lord will be protected.” Proverbs

29:25

T- Thank you: recognize the Spirit’s indwelling presence in you simply by

thanking Him for it. Pray, “Thank you Holy Spirit, for Your bright presence in me. I

love Your presence. Apart from connecting with You, I can do nothing that

effectively (supernaturally) renews my love, sustains my zeal for righteousness,

and releases revelation and power in my heart.

3 He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do

nothing. (Jn. 15:5)

 

R- Release Revelation: ask (thank) the Spirit to release abundant revelation of

God’s heart, word and purposes to you. Pray, “Holy Spirit, release abundant

revelation in me”.

17 May give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him…

(Eph. 1:17)

U- Use me: ask the Spirit to use you more and more in the spiritual gifts to minister to others.

We pray, “Thank you Spirit, for releasing the manifestation of Your gifts and power through me

to help others”.

7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all… (1

Cor. 12:7)

S- Strengthen me: ask the Spirit to strengthen your mind, emotions and speech with His

might. His power is already in us (Gal. 5:22-23) therefore, pray, “Thank you for the presence

of Your love, peace, patience, and self-control in me” or “Thank You for warring against my

flesh and guarding my speech”.

16 …To be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man… (Eph.

3:16)

T- Teach me: ask the Spirit to teach you about God’s will and ways that He may manifest

His leadership in every issue in your life including finances, schedule, circumstances,

emotions, physical body (diet, health), relationships, alignment of the people you are

responsible for (in the home, office, ministry), future, greatness in God, opportunities with

divine appointments, fears, addictions and shortcomings. Ask that He establish God’s order

in your home, job and ministry. We pray, “Spirit, I love Your will and ways, therefore, manifest

Your leadership in me”. He will give us new ideas, order our steps and open doors of

opportunity for strategic alliances in each area of our life as we ask Him.

26 The Holy Spirit…will teach you all things… (Jn. 14:26)

 

13 The Spirit of truth…will guide you into all truth; He will tell you things to come.

(Jn. 16:13)

27 The anointing…abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you;

but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things… (1 Jn. 2:27)

Your face upon us, LORD!” Then Moses said, “Please, show me Your glory!”

O — One thing: I set my heart to be a “person of one thing” who regularly sits

before You (Ps. 27:4). “One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I

the LORD, And to  [b] meditate in His temple.”

W — Count me worthy: Strengthen me to have a worthy response to You in my

of your calling, and fulfill every desire for goodness and the work of faith with power.”

speech (Eph. 4:29; Ps. 141:3). Set a guard, LORD,  [a] over my mouth; Keep watch over

the door of my lips.

I — Insight (wisdom): Give me insight into Your Word, will, and ways (Col.

1:9–10).

 

“ 9  For this reason I also, since the day I heard about it, have not ceased praying and

asking that I may be filled with the  [a] knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and

understanding,  10  so that I will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord,  [b] to please You in all

respects, bearing fruit in every good work and  [c] increasing in the  [d] knowledge of God.”

P — Peace and joy: Strengthen my heart with peace and joy that overpower

fear (Phil. 4:7). “ 7  And the peace of God, which surpasses all  [a] comprehension,

will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus.”

Pray The Good News of Salvation

61 “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed Me

To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to  [a] heal the brokenhearted,

 

To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

2  To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our God; To

comfort all who mourn, 3  To  [b] console those who mourn in Zion,

To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the

spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness,

The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.” 4  And they shall rebuild the old ruins,

They shall raise up the former desolations, And they shall repair the ruined cities,

The desolations of many generations. 5  Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,

And the sons of the foreigner Shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.

6  But you shall be named the priests of the LORD, They shall call you the servants of our

God. You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, And in their glory you shall boast.

7  Instead of your shame you shall have double honor, And instead of confusion they shall

rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double; Everlasting joy

shall be theirs.

8  “For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery  [c] for burnt offering;

I will direct their work in truth, And will make with them an everlasting covenant.

9  Their descendants shall be known among the Gentiles, And their offspring among the

people. All who see them shall acknowledge them, That they are the

posterity whom the LORD has blessed.” 10  I will greatly rejoice in the LORD,

My soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,

He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,

As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorns herself with her

jewels. 11  For as the earth brings forth its bud, As the garden causes the things that are

sown in it to spring forth, So the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring

forth before all the nations. Isaiah 61:1-11
