JESUS WAS HEARD BECAUSE OF HIS GODLY FEAR!
Hebrews 5:7 (NKJV)
“Who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear.”
Dearly beloved,
One of the most remarkable revelations about the earthly life of Jesus is that He was heard because of His godly fear!
Isaiah 11:3 tells us that His delight was in the fear of the Lord. He cherished and walked in the Spirit of the fear of the Lord.
He grew in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men (Luke 2:52), because His life took root in reverence (highest respect) for His Father. His delight in the fear of the Lord became a strong foundation and an unshakeable tower that made Him irresistible and all-prevailing.
Now, what does the fear of the Lord mean? It is the utmost reverence for God, His Word and His voice. It is esteeming what God says above every other voice, feeling or circumstance.
Remember how Jesus countered the temptation of the enemy in the wilderness: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God” (Luke 4:4). His life was governed by the Word of His Father!
Consider what happened in the Garden of Gethsemane. When all hell broke loose, His soul became exceedingly sorrowful, and His mind confronted the unimaginable agony of the Cross and His separation from His Father. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling to the ground (Luke 22:44).
Every natural indication pointed towards overwhelming suffering. Yet, what sustained Him was His unwavering reverence for His Father for He greatly delighted in doing the Father’s will.
He prayed, “Nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done” (Luke 22:42).
His godly fear was not merely an attitude; it was His unwavering submission to the Father’s will. And Hebrews 5:7 declares that He was heard because of His godly fear!
Yes, my beloved, seek the Spirit of the fear of the Lord to overshadow and fill you. Let reverence for God and His Word become the foundation and tower of your life.
No matter how intense the pressures become, how overwhelming the circumstances appear, or how excruciating the pain of the journey may seem, you will remain steadfast in the will of God. What appears impossible will not overcome you. You will come through and see the breakthrough you are longing for.
THIS IS CERTAIN!
Remember, the fear of the Lord is not only the beginning of wisdom; THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS WISDOM! (Proverbs 9:10; Job 28:28).
PRAYER
Daddy God, thank You for the Spirit of Glory resting upon me. Let the Spirit of the fear of the Lord fill and overshadow me. Establish my heart in reverence for Your Word and unwavering obedience to Your voice. When pressures arise, let my heart remain steadfast in Your will, and lead me into the victory You have prepared for me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
PROCLAMATION
The Spirit of the fear of the Lord rests upon me. My delight is in God’s Word and His will. I am unshaken by circumstances, undeterred by opposition and unwavering under pressure. I walk in divine wisdom, and I shall surely see the manifestation of God’s promises in my life. I am the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus!
Praise the Risen Jesus!
