Another Look At The Fear of The LORD
“The spirit of a man is the lamp of The LORD, Searching all the inner depths of his heart.” Proverbs 20:27.
Solomon warns us in Proverbs 20:27 the spirit of a man is the lamp of The LORD, searching all the inner depths of his heart.
Both David, in the Psalms, and Solomon here in Proverbs, warn of the very foolish and negative things or side effects of having no Fear of The LORD.
Without The Fear of The LORD, people will cease to be wise. Their actions speak louder than their words and yet the words of their mouth have set a trap and led them astray. Their behavior and lives will not be pleasing to The LORD. Why is that?
The LORD knows the condition of their heart.
I hear The LORD say, “My People have been deceived in thinking they can hide the pride of their heart from My Eyes.
The pride of their heart has truly deceived them to think more highly of themselves than they ought.
Only those who walk in The Fear of The LORD shall experience the enhanced favor and blessings of The LORD in ongoing new day,” says The Father.
“For the Fear of The LORD is producing deeper wisdom in those who fear GOD and do good and hate evil.
A true awareness of Goodness and understanding shall follow them as they continue to bear fruit from the words of their pure hearts,” says The LORD.
“The rebellion of sin speaks as an oracle of God, speaking deeply to the conscience of wicked men. Yet they are still eager to sin, for the fear of God is not before their eyes. See how they flatter themselves, unable to detect and detest their sins. They are crooked and conceited, convinced they can get away with anything. Their wicked words are nothing but lies. Wisdom is far from them. Goodness is both forgotten and forsaken. They lie awake at night to hatch their evil plots, always planning their schemes of darkness, and never once do they consider the evil of their ways.” Psalm 36:1-4 TPT
The words that flow out of a proud and arrogant heart will become an offense to The LORD as well as many others who hear them. Consequently, they often find they have stepped out of the favor of The LORD.
“A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; From the produce of his lips he shall be filled.” Proverbs 18:20 NKJV.
“A man’s stomach will be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; He will be satisfied with the consequence of his words.” Proverbs 18:20 AMP.
I keep hearing The LORD say, “The situation of those who have no Fear of The LORD appears hopeless because their prideful hard hearts can block them from receiving the good and perfect gift I desire to give them and they are only one step away from a changed heart.
But for some, even the direct word from a loving God will not inspire them to move away from foolishness to wisdom,” says The Creator of all the World.
“I AM not a force feed them wisdom!”
So I ask this one question one more time:
Is your heart ready for a change?
Are you ready for a changed heart?
Only God can change a heart.
The LORD had me go back and take a look at a Word He spoke to me in 2021 published here on HKP — “A Heart of Wisdom!’ and I am re-posting it here now for you”.
“A Heart of Wisdom!“

The fear of the Lord only comes from seeing him as he really is and not what others have told you about him. What you will have to come face to face with is most of what you think to be true is not. Almost all of what the church in this country believes about God and who they think he is simply is not true. And that is why all the chaos is happening now. Because if they don’t change the way they are doing things they will not be allowed to preach the lies any longer. The one true God has never made a mistake. Nothing is as it seems to the natural eye of man. All has been Gods plan from the start. Satan was not some wonderful angel that fell. Jesus said he was and always has been a liar. God has made all things and he has made them as they are. Because he really does know what he is doing. And it is not what most believe that to be. If they could see him as he really is they would be scared. I have seen him and have been trying to warn you get ready to duck.
Dear David
THE LORD bless you for having delight in The Fear of THE LORD. That is Wisdom, (Job 28:28).
However, your comment contains very serious Scripture errors that can deceive many who don’t know The Truth.
Satan was created beautiful and full of wisdom.
GOD created all things perfect, including Satan, who was “the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.” But GOD had him devoured by Fire, turned to ashes and horror when he sinned, (Ezekiel 28:11–19; Isaiah 14:12–21).
JESUS never said that the devil “was and always has been a liar.” He said that “he is a liar and the father of lies.” (John 8:44). He became so when he sinned in the beginning (the age in which the initial universe was created – Genesis 1:1.
A lot happened for so long between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2, involving the angels who sinned. See Jeremiah 4:23–26. And also 2 Peter 3:5–6, which refers to how the waters of Genesis 1:2 came about)
Amen David. Thanks so much for sharing your valuable insight and understanding. He is the only wise GOD. Sometimes I think the biggest hindrance is many have followed so long other “man-made Gods” and they have fallen for the lies they want to believe..therefore sometimes becoming their own God. Blessings, Sandi
Hey sandi
Thanks for the words sister. I respect you sister I don’t really know if you agree with what I have to say but you are wise enough to approach things with caution and wisdom. And say the right thing as if you truly walk in the fear of the Lord.
You know what is funny many years ago when I became aware of some of things I am sharing here one of the men I knew every one treated him very badly and said terrible things about him. Only later did I find out why. I at least had enough sense to hear what he had to say and to this day would never disrespect him. Who knows any of us could be wrong.
Any way I have said this to you before and I will say it again I think we will be friends. In the near future you will rejoice remembering that I said this. Mostly I am just getting everyone’s attention later you will say now I get it.
I noticed recently that in the garden of Eden, Eve believed eating of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil was also wisdom. Before the fall, there was no sin and therefore they were not afraid. What you have said has really interested me as in fact it didn’t give wisdom but the opposite. It also caused fear as they were aware of their sin. I find it very interesting that after the fall the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
The devil is a liar and it is too easy to think knowledge equals wisdom. But it doesn’t. The only being that can handle that knowledge is God because He is God.
I have seen the tactics the devil is able to use. I have seen how he lies. Beguiles. If people also knew what he can look like, speak like, offer gifts, offer the world, use scripture, much of which is gnostic type stuff – they would fear the Lord as He is the only way and is our protector. We need His wisdom to discern the truth from the lie. The right from wrong. The devil knows scripture better than we do and we need to be so aware of how we use it or understand it. Jesus is the living word.
Hi Suzie, thanks so much for sharing. Absolutely, the beginning of deception, lies, fear all took place in the garden. It also instituted the “blame game” that is raging in our world today. Many blessings, Sandi Holman
