FEAR GOD GIVE HIM GLORY
7
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters (Revelation 14:7)
Definitions of fear:
Reverence: regard with feelings of respect and reverence; consider hallowed or exalted or be in awe of; "Fear God as your father";
Definitions of glory:
A state of high honor;
We will touch on two things that can cause us to blaspheme the Holy Spirit when we know for a fact that we should do, and don't do it because we want to fear and give glory to our own cause and opinions.
Let's look at some examples of the bible when God's people gave glory to these two things that ended their lives
7 : | But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel. (read on)

How can we steal from God and cause our lives to end up like this? It was God that destroyed these people because they refuse to do right.
3 : | Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9: Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation | |||
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Hebrews Chapter 7 | ||||
1: For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
2: To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
3: Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
4: Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
5: And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:
6: But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
We have to pay tithes, God told Adam and eve all that I give you of thee garden is yours but this tree is forbidden do not touch. The forbidden tree was a tenth of the garden that he told them not to touch, by doing so they touched something that wasn't theirs their 1st probation closed that day they died (spiritually.) Their not living today; we take away from the support of the ministries when we selfishly put our filthy hands on something that doesn't belong to us. We commit a great crime, when we know to do well and refuse to do it.
The next sin is just as worse, when we know about what meat eating, coffee, tea, all kinds of ungodly foods does to the body and we stubbornly presume to consume it.
This is a great sin, we've been bought with a price, The price was so high that the Son God had to give up his life and die the 2nd death and we don't want to give up the lust for pleasure and appetite and feelings( oh but it feels so good.)
The bible says:
3 : | Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) |
Their appetite controls everything. Have them wanting more and more and when they can satisfy their lust they go to war, let's look at a example of how their lust for food and things mad them go to war.
After God rescued Israel and went over the red sea, Israel began to Lust for the former Lust.
16 : | And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh | ||
7: And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we that ye murmur against us?
8: And Moses said, this shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD. God wanted them to get of meat to eat manner from heaven that they will present their bodies a living sacrifice holy and accept to the Lord. They didn't want that, they wanted flesh to eat.
9: And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.
Numbers Chapter 20:1-9; 11:1-10, 14-15, 18-20, 31-33.
10 : | Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. |
They committed the unpardonable sin, how did they do such things?
4:
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5: And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
6: If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. Hebrew 6:4-6
Ezekiel 18, verse 24
24: But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
2 Peter 2, verse 20, 21
20: For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
21: For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, then, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
This is how we can commit the unpardonable sins this is how we can crucify the lord a fresh. This is a reproach to the Lord
15 : | But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. |
1 Kings Chapter 13
King James Version
1: And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.
2: And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee.
3: And he gave a sign the same day, saying, this is the sign which the LORD hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.
4: And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Page | 5lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him.
5: The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.
6: And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Intreat now the face of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the LORD, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.
7: And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.
8: And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:
9: For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.
10: So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.
11: Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.
12: And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah.
13: And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon,
14: And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am,
15: Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
16: And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:
17: For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.
18: He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.
19: So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.
20: And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back:
21: And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee,
22: But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the LORD did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.
23: And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back.
24: And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase
AMEN, AMEN AND AMEN.
