Dunamis: The Power of Reverence
Dunamis: The Power of Reverence
When you fear, revere The Lord, you will honor His people!
Reverence: In biblical sense- reverence is a profound, adoring, and awed respect. It indicates "to tremble before," arising from our awareness of our weaknesses.
- It is reserved for God alone.
- It is reserved for God alone.
Value of Honor-
Governed by Honor: Honor reflects Heaven's value. Honor protects freedom, creates safe places, and reflects a Kingdom identity. Honor is about self-control, not control.

Honor = tee-máōww – properly, assign value (give honor), as it reflects the personal esteem (value, preciousness) attached to it by the beholder.
Honor is culture of Heaven. It reflects Heaven's value, not our own.
HONOR GOD WITH...
1. Our Money-
1. Our Money-
2. Our Bodies-
3. Our Worship-
HONOR PEOPLE-
1. Marriage-

If it's Hard for you to Honor Someone, Ask The Holy Spirit How.
2. Church and Spiritual Leaders
The Office Of Pastor Is What We Honor Despite A Man's Behavior
The disciples walked with Jesus to the place of death and changed The World.
... if your accused of dishonor apply preferred honor.
Dishonoring Any Person Never Honors The Lord!
Every time You Dishonor, You Partner With The Demonic
Reverence:
- Fear of The Lord
- In the Bible, reverence is defined as a profound, awe-inspiring respect. It is the instinctive response of everyone who encounters the Lord God Almighty.

εὐλάβεια - eulabeia (yoo-lab'-i-ah)
- Caution
- Reverence, fear of God, piety
- Reverent, godly fear -- properly, a taking a hold of what God calls good; holy caution, inducing circumspect behavior.
- Godly respect is illustrated by a person carrying a priceless Persian vase across the room -- which will always be in a devout, respectful fashion!

God created order from chaos and Satan has been trying to create chaos from order ever since.
God is a God of distinctions, order. He separated-
- Light from darkness, day from night
- The waters of the earth from the atmosphere
- Water from land
- Plant from animal
- Man from woman
- The holy from the profane
- Light from darkness, day from night
- The waters of the earth from the atmosphere
- Water from land
- Plant from animal
- Man from woman
- The holy from the profane
There is a spiritual battle against the distinctions of God!
The chaos we see in society is not just happening, it is SPIRITUAL BATTLE. And every day, you choose whether you will partner with it, or battle against it.
Where there is no reverence of The Lord, foolishness abounds.
This is why the most godless places produces the most rampant foolishness.
Disorder is the manifestation of irreverence.
If you cannot submit to anyone, you have a reverence problem.
The POWER of Reverence!
Reverence brings favor-

Reverence Opens Heaven-
Reverence Leads to Righteousness-
- Story of Joseph and his brothers. Why did he do the right thing? Because he feared The Lord!
Reverence Demands a Response-
Reverence Leads to Irrational Obedience-
- Story of Abraham and Isaac
What have you withheld as more revered than God?
- Are you holding onto things He asked you to lay down?
- Are you holding onto things He asked you to lay down?
Reverence Ushers In Glory-
Reverence Makes you Fearless-
