“Disappointment, resentment, and fear of man are the three biggest cripplers in the body of Christ.” - Bill Johnson

What is the fear of Man?
“Fear of man is if you have to run though your mind what a person or certain group of people’s reaction would be if you were to take a certain course of direction in your life.
“With the fear of man, their opinions dictate how we live. The fear of man keeps us from God’s best.”
The fear of man is living your life in a way that seeks man’s approval.
Fear of man creates disunity.
“You can actually see the fear of man in action when a group of religious people discuss a controversial subject.
The spirit of religion tries to put an end to a problem through judgement/accusation. Those who live by the fear of man will try to display that they are right by how well they judge what’s wrong.”
Fear God not man
One way you can know who’s approval you’re seeking when making a decision is to ask yourself, “What is my motivation?”
Acts 12:1-3 & 21-23
“Herod dies because of the place he gave for the praises of men.
But that’s not the ‘meal’, its meant to be the ‘spice/seasoning’” (on top of the identity you’ve found in Christ).”
To combat the fear of man, we may take up what we THINK is the opposite… We become callous and harsh because “we don’t care what people think” But a true opposite to the fear of man is the fear of God.
What is the fear of God?
The fear of God is living your life in a way that seeks God’s approval.
The fear of God is walking in your true identity.
Identity can only be bestowed by a Father.

"You're Beautiful"
I see Your face in every sunrise
The colors of the morning are inside Your eyes
The world awakens in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say
You're beautiful
I see Your power in the moonlit night
Where planets are in motion and galaxies are bright
We are amazed in the light of the stars
It's all proclaiming who You are
You're beautiful
I see You there hanging on a tree
You bled and then you died and then you rose again for me
Now You are sitting on Your heavenly throne
Soon we will be coming home
You're beautiful
When we arrive at eternity's shore
Where death is just a memory and tears are no more
We'll enter in as the wedding bells ring
Your bride will come together and we'll sing
You're beautiful
Oh, You're beautiful
I see Your face, You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
I see Your face
I see Your face
I see Your face, You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
I see Your face in every sunrise
The colors of the morning are inside Your eyes
The world awakens in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say
You're beautiful
I see Your power in the moonlit night
Where planets are in motion and galaxies are bright
We are amazed in the light of the stars
It's all proclaiming who You are
You're beautiful
I see You there hanging on a tree
You bled and then you died and then you rose again for me
Now You are sitting on Your heavenly throne
Soon we will be coming home
