The Fear of the Lord

Walking in the fear of the Lord is a requirement from God. To fear God is to respect Him and His Word enough to have the audacity to obey Him. Fearing God will restrain you from sin and keep you in God's protection and provision. Make these confessions to build your faith and walk in the fear of the Lord.

Confession of Faith:

Heavenly Father, I declare that I walk in the fear of the Lord. I respect and honor You, Lord and I obey your Word because I fear You. I acknowledge all that You have done, are doing and continue to do in my life and I praise You for who You are. I make up my mind not to disobey You and Your commandments. I obey You because I love You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. I know that in respecting You, I will avoid life's pitfalls and I cannot be visited with actual evil. Because I fear You, I turn away from sin and the works of the flesh. I attain wisdom and knowledge by fearing and respecting You. I will demonstrate my respect for You through my actions, and by restraining myself from sin. In Jesus'name, Amen.
