In today’s message, Derek identifies seven primary forms of manifestations that are mentioned in Scripture, all of which rested on Jesus. The last of these was “the fear of the Lord,” and Derek will reveal how this was fulfilled in the life of Jesus.

When we hear the phrase “fear of the Lord,” we tend to unconsciously confuse it with other kinds of fear that are unpleasant. So, to set the record straight, Derek identifies some of these other fears for us so we can recognize the difference more easily.

This week, as we examine the theme, “The Fear of the Lord,” Derek will point out different elements of this character trait and how we can develop the fear of the Lord. Mind you, this is not fear of man or religious fear or even natural fear. No, this fear brings perfection in God’s sight.

What is the difference between preaching and testimony? Testimony is telling others what God has done in your life. It is personal. And it is Jesus’ strategy for reaching the world. Simple and effective! Listen today and hear more about this weapon.

Preaching the Word stops the enemy cold. When the apostle Paul preached the Word without reservation or compromise for two years, He reached all of Asia; extraordinary miracles occurred; the supernatural became the natural; evil spirits were driven out. It can happen the same way today—the Word changes not!

Naturally, praise follows on the heels of prayer. But praise is far more than an expression of gratitude…it is a weapon that will silence the enemy. Praise reveals and calls forth God’s awesomeness against the enemies of God’s people.

Prayer is the most powerful spiritual weapon we possess. It has no limitation. It is a long-range weapon that can sneak in and take out the enemy! As a missile, it locks on to a target and can be launched from great distances away. There is no limitation in time or distance.

We have an obligation to take the offensive, to move out and actively attack Satan’s kingdom. It is a fact of history that the battle cannot be won strictly on the defensive. The gates of hell cannot prevail against the church that is on the offensive. Scripture promises this and Derek explains.

The sword of the Spirit is our only offensive weapon. With it, we can drive the devil off. We must not draw back for fear, but move forward, bringing people out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light. Hear how Jesus made Satan “back off” and how you can as well!

Depressed? Hopeless? Filled with self-pity? Learn how to overcome these problems. We need to understand that the mind is a battlefield for spiritual warfare. Derek explains the nature of “hope” and how an optimistic attitude always sees the best, does not give way to depression and doubt.
