=== Power Of God (01:46) ===

[00:00:00]  What is the fear of the Lord?
[00:00:03]  Well, the fear of, you know, a lot of people try to reduce it.
[00:00:07]  To mean, it's just reverential trust.
[00:00:09]  But there's more than reverential trust.
[00:00:12]  He is a consuming fire.
[00:00:15]  You know, when I was a child, my daddy said, electricity will hurt you or electricity can help you.
[00:00:21]  Depends on how you touch it.
[00:00:23]  And you need to understand the power of God is mighty.
[00:00:27]  And if you respect the power of God and learn to cooperate and walk in holiness, the power of God will bring all kinds of blessings into your life.
[00:00:35]  But if you live in sin and if you defy the word of God, like you're, like Maricella was saying, by the way, Maricella, you are just powerful.
[00:00:43]  I'm telling you, there can be a negative effect of the power of God.
[00:00:47]  And we need to understand we're talking about power.
[00:00:50]  And if you don't handle it right, it's going to hurt you.
[00:00:53]  If you handle it right, it will heal you.
[00:00:55]  It will deliver you.
[00:00:55]  It will do everything good.
[00:00:57]  But we need to have a real healthy dose of respect for God, for his mighty, mighty presence.
[00:01:05]  You know, when Moses came on the mountain and saw the fire, God said, take your shoes off.
[00:01:10]  The ground you're standing on is holy ground.
[00:01:14]  And we need to understand who we're dealing with.
[00:01:16]  We're dealing with a holy God.
[00:01:18]  And Maricel is right.
[00:01:20]  So much has been lost.
[00:01:22]  It's just been lost.
[00:01:25]  And we have a spiritual responsibility.
[00:01:27]  Thank you for this program to help people know how to stir it back up again.
[00:01:33]  We don't have to be a victim of the age.
[00:01:35]  We just don't have to be.
[00:01:37]  Even if we feel like we're an island in the middle of a sea that's all messed up, then be an island.
[00:01:42]  You can be alive where you are, wherever you are.
[00:01:46]  Amen.
