The Fear of the Lord

by Prophetess Hilda Genesis

1. Staying Aligned with God

The prophetess emphasized the importance of living a life that aligns with God’s ways. She highlighted the danger of transgression and leaning on personal understanding, stressing the need to trust in God’s guidance.

Example:

• The Word says God places life and death before us, urging us to choose wisely. Every decision we make impacts whether we walk in life or death.
• Decisions like entering a wrong relationship or making unwise financial choices are examples of straying when we don’t seek God’s guidance.

2. Pleasing God in All Aspects of Life

Our ways should reflect the glory of God. Prophetess Hilda urged that our lives should honor God in everything we do.

Example:

• She mentioned Joseph, who fled from the wife of Potiphar because he feared God. Even though he had the opportunity to sin, his fear of God guided him to resist temptation and glorify God instead.

3. The Spirit of the Fear of the Lord

The fear of the Lord is more than an emotion; it is a spirit. Prophetess Hilda explained that the spirit of the fear of God empowers us to live in obedience to His Word, restraining us from sin and aligning us with His wisdom. She stressed that true believers show their fruits by living in the fear of God.

Examples:

• People who claim to have the Spirit of God but exhibit rebellion or disobedience reflect a lack of the fear of God.
• She highlighted cases where certain ministers perform miracles but live lives characterized by sin, showing they operate under spirits not from God.

4. Wisdom as the Result of the Fear of the Lord

Prophetess Hilda taught that wisdom begins with the fear of God. Wisdom is not merely intellectual; it is spiritual and reflects a perspective grounded in God’s truth.

Example:

• A person who lacks the fear of God may make decisions that lead to destruction, like pursuing ungodly wealth or relationships.
• By contrast, a wise person with the fear of God makes choices aligned with righteousness, even if they require personal sacrifice.

5. Repentance and Obedience

The prophetess emphasized that repentance is critical for maintaining a relationship with God. Without repentance, prayers can become ineffective because disobedience blocks God’s voice.

Example:

• She explained how God will not give further instructions if one has not obeyed His first command. For example, if God tells someone to fast and they refuse, He may remain silent until they repent.

6. The Rewards of Fearing God

Fearing God brings rewards such as riches, honor, and long life. Prophetess Hilda shared that blessings are a natural inheritance for those who live in reverence to God.

Example:

• She shared how young people often suffer untimely deaths due to disobedience and wickedness. The absence of the fear of God in their lives leads them to make destructive choices.
• Historical examples from the Bible show how individuals like Abraham and David, who feared God, were blessed abundantly without seeking material gain.

7. Divine Guidance and Protection

The prophetess explained that God directs and protects those who fear Him. The presence of God’s angels encamps around such individuals, delivering them from harm and death.

Examples:

• She mentioned Israel in Numbers 23, where the prophet Balaam could not curse the Israelites because God’s protection was upon them. “There is no divination against Jacob” reflects God’s defense over His people.
• She highlighted how many are delivered from unseen dangers—such as accidents or enemy attacks—because of God’s covering over their lives.

8. Upright Living and Favor

Walking uprightly ensures that God withholds no good thing. Prophetess Hilda stressed that many prayers for material blessings go unanswered because individuals lack an upright heart before God.

Example:

• She noted how individuals who refuse to live in obedience—such as fasting when instructed—should not expect their prayers for favor or blessings to be answered.
• She highlighted her personal testimony: many blessings in her life came without prayer because she walked uprightly and desired only to serve God.

9. Practical Applications of the Fear of God

Prophetess Hilda gave practical examples of how the fear of God manifests:

• A person with the fear of God will resist gossip, respect spiritual leaders, and avoid disobedience.
• In marriage, she urged believers to prioritize marrying someone with the fear of God, not just someone who attends church, as many in church lack genuine reverence for God.

Examples:

• A man or woman with the fear of God will not commit adultery or infidelity, regardless of the opportunities presented to them. Like Joseph, they will flee from sin.
• She warned that someone without the fear of God is dangerous and unrestrained, making them unreliable in relationships or mentorships.

10. Closing Remarks

The prophetess encouraged believers to cultivate the fear of God through prayer, repentance, and consistent obedience. She emphasized that living in the fear of God brings divine favor, wisdom, and protection.
