Whom shall I fear? I'm with Jesus

The perfect Love of God must be expressed from us, in us, and through us. Then love can overwhelm and conquer as we endure through the difficult situations or even persecution. Love will conquer to turn souls to Jesus as they see His love in us. Many do not love until the end because dealing with people can be very difficult. But love must endure to the end to finish its work with people. True love will endure even unto death! True Love does not seek its own comfort or happiness. True love serves for the Glory of God.

When we decide to stop focusing on our limitations as we deal with people and we start to focus on what the Lord did for us instead, then God can take us further as His Love will conquer more land through us. People will turn from this world and from their wicked ways when Love overcomes them. There is no need to put salt on the wounds of people. People know where they need to be. They just need someone to tell them how to get there.



This is something we received from the Holy Spirit for the Body of Christ last year. I found it again as I was digging through my old notes.

June 18, 2010 12:57 AM Received during prayer by Yoojin and Steve Kim

"I love you! I love every one of you! But not everyone loves Me. Yes, you say you love Me but many of you do not love Me! Your hearts are so hardened! Many of you do not love Me. You say you love Me but you do not show Me that you love Me. It is very sad. If My love is in you, then you would understand My heart and My compassion but you do not have My Love and My compassion because you do not love Me. My compassion and Love would show everyone through you as you love Me but you do not love Me.

You love yourself and you think you love Me! Do not deceive yourself! You are in deception! You are loving yourself. You think you are loving Me. Show My love to others. Show My compassion to others. Then you will know My Love. You will know! Possess My love, My love. You have My love. If you have My love then you are showing others of My love. My love must be in you! It must! It must! You must have My Love in you so you can do My work. You must have My Love.

If you do not possess my Love you can never do My work. It is not always about the power. But My love must be in you so the power can manifest. Without love the power is useless. Without love you will become corrupt. My love must come to your hearts first before the power and the gifts. You must pray for My love. The love must be in you so the power can work together. My love, My love, possess My love. You must learn to love the unlovable. You must learn to love everyone! Then you will show that My love is in you if you love everyone. My love is for everybody! Therefore, you must love everyone. Then everyone will know you have My love. Do not choose who to love. Do not choose what to love. If you choose, you do not have My love and you are in deception. Possess My love so you can do My work until then I cannot work with you. Do not be deceived. You must seek the love in you. You must first seek My Kingdom."

John 14:15(AMP) If you [really] love Me, you will keep (obey) My commands.

John 14:21 (AMP) The person who has My commands and keeps them is the one who [really] loves Me; and whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I [too] will love him and will show (reveal, manifest) Myself to him. [I will let Myself be clearly seen by him and make Myself real to him.]

1 Timothy 5:8 (AMP) If anyone fails to provide for his relatives, and especially for those of his own family, he has disowned the faith [by failing to accompany it with fruits] and is worse than an unbeliever [who performs his obligation in these matters].

John 15:9-10 (AMP)I have loved you, [just] as the Father has loved Me; abide in My love [[a]continue in His love with Me].10If you keep My commandments [if you continue to obey My instructions], you will abide in My love and live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father's commandments and live on in His love.

When it comes to the basics of growing food, someone must start by planting a seed. This small seed produces life and when properly taken to maturity, it will grow into a full tree to bear much fruit. However, depending on the type of fruit, it may takes years for a tree to bear fruit. For example, a apple tree will generally take 8 to 10 years before it bears fruit.

Once the tree bears fruit, we are able to partake of the harvest. The abundance of the fruit can feed other people and animals. Besides food, it also brings shelter to many other living creatures.

When we plant the seed of a fruit tree or a tomato plant, there is always an appointed time for the harvest. You cannot tell the fruit tree or tomato plant to grow any faster.

If the fruit tree does not grow fast enough, will we get angry at the fruit tree? Will you cut it down and make it into fire wood after having invested all that time and energy? No, in most cases, people will patiently wait for the tree to bear fruit so they can benefit from their labor and patience.

With much labor and investment in time, the farmer and his crop may have to go through droughts, STORMS, and battle the insects. For some crops, it may be one short season and for others it may take YEARS to produce.

Knowing time is required for a harvest, will you get angry at the tree or the crop for not producing fast enough? Will you stomp on the crops? Will you burn the trees and crop out of anger since it is TAKING SO LONG and you are so hungry or desperate for a situation?

If we are seeking spiritual breakthrough, we must labor and invest ourselves in the Lord. We must labor in the sense of worshiping, reading, and praying daily. We must invest our time in HIM. And as with any harvest or breakthrough, TIME IS REQUIRED. During this time as one wait, we must sometimes battle the weather elements and possibly go through many storms in life. We may feel a drought when it comes to feeling the Lord. We may be attacked by demons (insects) as we are trying to stay spiritually alive.

As we wait for our breakthrough, we must know it may take YEARS. We can patiently wait persevering and enduring the weather elements of our lives or we can QUIT and get mad at God. If we get mad and quit, we will not get to the harvest time. But if we are waiting for years and if our tree or crop does not look healthy, we must ask the Lord if we are doing things right. Remember, we must believe correctly for God's blessings and power to flow in us.

Some time ago, God told my wife and I that many of His servants quit just right before their breakthrough. He said that many of His servants were quitting because it was too hard for them. If anyone tells you this journey is a cake walk, you have my permission to throw some cake in their face. This journey will be difficult, trying, and taxing but the Lord will finish what He started as long as we continue in obedience and faith not quitting.

In the physical realm, we know the time of the harvest through our knowledge of farming. We will know the time of reaping. This gives us a measure of time and expectation. We will generally continue waiting for the physical harvest knowing the set appointed time. Faith is not really required because science has shown us when to expect the fruit and crop.

However, in the spiritual realm, we may have no ideal the appointed time for our breakthrough. It may be tomorrow, next week, next year, or in years but God keeps saying, "soon." In the spiritual realm, your FAITH is the plant food for your trees and harvest. As long as you continue praying, hoping, and faithing in HIM on His promise or promises, there is an set appointed time waiting for you.

There is a promise in God's Word. Jesus said, IF you KEEP on asking, you will receive. If you KEEP on seeking, you will find and if you KEEP on knocking, the door will be open.

Matthew 7:7-8 (AMP) Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; [c]keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you.8For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, [the door] will be opened.

I know it can get very hard dear brothers and sisters. But during those moments, you must make an important choice either to continue in the Lord, quit, or compromise. It is A CHOICE! Our whole life is a Choice. Do not give up. The Lord did not give up walking toward Calvary. He got beat beyond recognition, He got whipped horribly, He got spit on, He got mocked, and He got laughed at BY HIS OWN PEOPLE for you. What have you paid compared to HIM?

He said if you are to follow HIM, you must FULLY Surrender, take up your own crosses and follow HIM. You must take it all the way even unto death if necessary. It is in death there is LIFE. Continue to ask, Continue to seek, Continue to knock, and continue OBEYING His Word running from sin living in Holiness until your breakthrough. As you persevere and endure in your journey, a day is coming. An appointed day is set that will take you higher and freer. May you all grow in His Grace moving from Glory to Glory.

Luke 14:26-27 (AMP) If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his [own] father and mother [[a]in the sense of indifference to or relative disregard for them in comparison with his attitude toward God] and [likewise] his wife and children and brothers and sisters--[yes] and even his own life also--he cannot be My disciple.27 Whoever does not persevere and carry his own cross and come after (follow) Me cannot be My disciple.

Luke 14:33(AMP) So then, any of you who does not forsake (renounce, surrender claim to, give up, [a]say good-bye to) all that he has cannot be My disciple.

You must FULLY Follow HIM. God bless you all!! Fire of God!! Be Free as the Children of the Most HIGH Overcoming ALL that is placed in front of you!! Take back what the enemy has stolen by FORCE! Demand it back with your Authority, Holiness, Righteousness, His Blood, and by His NAME!

Matthew 11:12 (AMP) And from the days of John the Baptist until the present time, the kingdom of heaven has endured violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize--a [a]share in the heavenly kingdom is sought with most ardent zeal and intense exertion].

Today, in our modern era, some countries still have the institution of a monarchy. Some countries, such as England, Japan, Spain, and others either have a king, queen, or both to symbolize their country. Since England is most known throughout the world of its king and queen, I will use their example to address my point. The king/queen of England still exist and is still established for the purposes of tradition, pride, and nationalism. The institution of their monarchy is a rallying point for their people. It reminds them of their heritage, their previous world domination, their pride, their culture, their power, and their people. It is a reminder of how they once had world dominance and an empire that touched many nations around the globe.

But today, it is just that, it is only a symbol. Their kings/queens have very little power to make decisions or policy for their countries. They are but a figure of what was and could be but of course without their authority. In today's modern times, the people of many countries have spoken and fought to be ruled by democratic or republic principals and not by a monarchy. Democracy on the surface basically means to be ruled by the people and by majority rule. The people throughout most of the free world have made a choice to be ruled through a collective choice instead of through a single leader who may have absolute authority over them. Of course, this not the case where there are still some single dictator type of leaders.

In America and with many other democratic nations, it may have appeared to have worked for the purposes of creating wealth and "freedom" of speech and religion. Yes, it has created wealth for many of the benefactors and those who participated in its system. And yes, through the freedom of speech and religion, Christianity has appeared to have flourished in this nation and many other countries through this nation. But has it? If we look at scripture and bible history, almost everyone can agree, Christianity flourishes during persecution. If we look at scripture, it is during times of abundance when God's people tend to forsake and rebel against Him.


Deuteronomy 31:16-17 (AMP) And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers, and this people will rise up and play the harlot after the strange gods of the land where they go to be among them; and they will forsake Me and break My covenant which I have made with them.17 Then My anger will be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them and hide My face from them. And they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them, so that they will say in that day, Have not these evils come upon us because our God is not among us? (God is speaking about His people knowing what will happen after they enter the promise land).

Ezekiel 28:16 Through the abundance of your commerce you were filled with lawlessness and violence, and you sinned; therefore I cast you out as a profane thing from the mountain of God and the guardian cherub drove you out from the midst of the stones of fire.


Jeremiah 2:7-9 (AMP) And I brought you into a plentiful land to enjoy its fruits and good things. But when you entered, you defiled My land and made My heritage an abomination [detestable and loathsome]. 8[Even] the priests did not say, Where is the Lord? And those who handle the law [given by God to Moses] knew Me not. The rulers and secular shepherds also transgressed against Me, and the prophets prophesied by [the authority and in the name of] Baal and followed after things that do not profit.9Therefore I will still contend with you [by inflicting further judgments on you], says the Lord, and with your children's children will I contend.


James 5:5 [Here] on earth you have abandoned yourselves to soft (prodigal) living and to [the pleasures of] self-indulgence and self-gratification. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

There are only a handful of countries in which their kings or queens have any power. Most of the other first world countries are ruled by collective branches of government. They have presidents or prime ministers. This is to insure that power is balanced. Even our corporations are set up with a board of directors. Even though we may have a president or a CEO, their power and authority is granted by majority vote by the people or shareholders.

Let us go back to the king and queen. These icons, symbols, heritage, or whatever you may want to call them are just that. They have no power or authority to institute policy or to make hard decisions over the lives of their people. The real power is given to the people through their ability to elect or install leaders of their choice. Even in corporations and many churches, there are boards who are given power and authority to make decisions based on the best interest of their concern.

What is my point? My point is this is how many Christians today treat their God, Jesus Christ. He is but a symbol of monarchy who has no authority or power in their lives today. They may wear his crosses, put stickers on back of their cars, even profaning their temples by tattooing scripture on their bodies, and having other memorabilia in their homes and churches just as the English have memorabilia to sell to the tourist the pictures of their king and queen. It is all for symbolism and a mark of who they think they should be but it is not reflected in their daily lives through their actions. Many of our churches are not ruled by the King of Kings but they are ruled and decisions are made by their board of directors. Many Christian families are not ruled by the King of Kings but ruled by their own decision for their own interests. Many churches and individuals make their own plans and then go ask their symbolic King of Kings to bless their ventures and ideas instead of asking, "WHAT IS YOUR WILL FOR US?" Who are they really making their king? They have created their own kingdoms franchising God's Name for their own lustful interests. But the real lord of their lives are themselves and not HIM. For many Christians, they have but made Jesus but a symbol of morality, honesty, love, and grace without giving Him any power or authority to rule their lives.

Therefore brethren, ask yourselves. Who is your KING? Is it you who makes all the decisions and then go asking God to help you out when you get into a jam? Do you go asking God to bless your ventures, your plans, your career goals, all your personal interest for your lives? Or is Jesus your KING OF KINGS in which you pray and ask HIM what is His Will in such and such situation or circumstance? Are you asking for healing or financial breakthrough so you can serve HIM better or are you asking for healing and other breakthroughs so you can go party and stay out late?

James 4:2-3 (AMP) 2You are jealous and covet [what others have] and your desires go unfulfilled; [so] you become murderers. [To hate is to murder as far as your hearts are concerned.] You burn with envy and anger and are not able to obtain [the gratification, the contentment, and the happiness that you seek], so you fight and war. You do not have, because you do not ask. 3 [Or] you do ask [God for them] and yet fail to receive, because you ask with wrong purpose and evil, selfish motives. Your intention is [when you get what you desire] to spend it in sensual pleasures.

Do not be deceived brethren. God will not be mocked. He is coming for a Holy Obedient Bride. Have you truly given your life over in FULL Surrender to the King of KINGS or have you as James 5:5 states given yourself over to soft (prodigal) living and to [the pleasures of] self-indulgence and self-gratification, fattening your hearts in a day of slaughter?


Who is making all the important decisions in your life? Are you after His Heart seeking His Will or are you after your own heart seeking your comfort?

Acts 13:22 And when He had deposed him, He raised up David to be their king; of him He bore witness and said, I have found David son of Jesse a man after My own heart, who will do all My will and carry out My program fully.

It was Goliath who had stopped God's people from moving forward to occupy the land and the things which were in the land. Goliath represented their great fear in which he was their blockage to the flow of God's blessing and power. But once that great fear was crumbled, the rest of the enemy soldiers were not even a threat to them.

With shouting, they pursed in great confident. They drove the enemy from the land and God's people plundered their belongings. Goliath was the enemy's "MIGHTY CHAMPION" who appeared so fearful and unbeatable. But with God's help and David's choice to stand up and fight, he in courage and faith destroyed Goliath.

Do you have a "MIGHTY CHAMPION" of the enemy in which your life that is preventing you from walking forward growing spiritually in Him? God is waiting for you. Make a choice today to fight and crumble down your greatest fear or bondage in your life. Once your choice is made, God's power will be granted to you. Regain and occupy what has been lost. Once your biggest fear crumbles, the rest of the obstacles will not be so hard for you to overcome. God bless!

1 Samuel 17:45, 49-53 Then said David to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the ranks of Israel, Whom you have defied.

49 David put his hand into his bag and took out a stone and slung it, and it struck the Philistine, sinking into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth. 50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck down the Philistine and slew him. But no sword was in David's hand. 51 So he ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath, and killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their MIGHTY CHAMPION was dead, they fled. 52 And the men of Israel and Judah rose with a shout and pursued the Philistines as far as Gath and the gates of Ekron. So the wounded Philistines fell along the way from Shaaraim as far as Gath and Ekron. 53 The Israelites returned from their pursuit of the Philistines and plundered their tents.

THE FEAR OF THE LORD
November 15, 2011

"Should you not fear Me?" declares the Lord. "Should you not tremble in my presence?" Jeremiah 5:22

After I have sinned this day, Daddy asked me, “Why did you do that? Why did you lie?” And I ashamedly answered, “Because I fear them…” And He said, “You fear man but you don’t fear Me.” His Words strikes my heart within and there’s nothing I can do but to cry and asked for forgiveness.

I lied. I lied out of fear of man. I have lost my fear of the Lord. The fear of being scolded for what I have done dominated over my fear of Daddy God. At that moment I don’t know why I have done it. All I think of is my fear of being rebuke or being scolded.

Before I go home, I went to church and asked for forgiveness and guidance for what I have done. During my prayer, Daddy told me that I have lost my fear of Him because I chose to sin. I thought to myself that it is okay because Daddy God will forgive me.. because Daddy God will understand.. while people are not easy to forgive and forget. But it is not right. I should have feared Daddy God more than I feared man or the punishment or the tendency of being rebuked.

What does it mean to fear the LORD? I have learned from my mistake today that if we really fear God, we must fear sin. We must fear God above anyone else. Most people commit sin because we do not have the fear of the Lord. When I have sinned today, I have lost my fear of Daddy God. I feared man more than Him so I decided to lie and try to save my face even I know that what I have done is wrong. I have learned from Daddy that if we fear Him, we should always turn from evil.

"The fear of the Lord is to hate evil" (Proverbs 8:13)

Daddy God made me remember His three servants who feared Him more than they feared the king. They are Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Even at the point of being thrown in the blazing furnace, they faithfully obeyed God not to worship the image of gold. They willfully disobeyed the orders, even though their lives were threatened because they feared God.

Daniel 3 : 17, 18 “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up”.

Most of us today fear human authority, we fear our government, our boss, our elders and yet somehow we don't fear God. We tend to think that human authority and its punishment is far higher than the very Hand of God. No matter how great human authority is, it is still incomparable to the greatness of the Living God. Whom should we fear? We should not fear anything or anyone other than God. God is the only One who is worthy of fear. God is the King of kings.

“Do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it. The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread.” Isa 8:12-13

I have learned that no one can walk in the will of the Lord if we don’t have the fear of God. The fear of the Lord means obeying all His laws and commandments. If we fear the Lord we will hate evil knowing that whenever we do evil things, we sinned against our Holy God. If we fear the Lord we will always choose to obey His commandments with seriousness knowing that breaking them is dangerous.

It is like the fear of a child who has a righteous, good father for whom the child has the greatest respect. The father demands obedience and the child is afraid to disobey. The child knows that his father expects to be taken seriously. Thus he fears his father in this sense. However, although he fears his father, he also loves him. He knows that his father is righteous, just, and good and that what his father says is true and for his own good. He knows that although his father requires respect and obedience, his father loves him. This must be the same with our fear to our Almighty God. Because we fear God, that doesn’t mean we can’t love Him. Fear does not prevent love. Our respect for God and obedience to His commandments is the very basis for our love.

"My son, if you receive my words, and treasure my commands within you, so that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding; yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; THEN you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God." Proverbs 2:1-5

"Who is the man that fears the Lord? Him shall He teach in the way that he should choose.” Psalms 25:12

I give glory to my Father God, Jesus and Holy Spirit for teaching me what it really means to fear Him.
