“My bride, how I long for you to trust My voice. To know I am the one who holds all knowledge, wisdom and everything you need,” says the Spirit of the Lord.
“I have not called you to follow the ways of man, but to be carriers of My wisdom. To have a fresh understanding of My ways, and the fear of the Lord. For I have called you to live set apart.
You may not understand what I have called you to do, and why, but trust in Me. Many have followed the fear of man, which has opened you up to anxiety, stress, and mistrust. I have not called you to live this way. Turn from the fear of man, and embrace the fear of God.
Step into intimacy, joy, fulfilment and a life to the full when lived with Me. This is what you are choosing when you step into reverence and awe of who I am. See fear of man fade away.”

Ponder how awesome our God is. Dwell on how He made the world, how He knew you before you were formed. Think of His vastness and love for you. Then ask the Lord, “Is there anywhere in my life I fear man over you?”
Listen to what He says, and repent of any partnership with fear of man. Ask for Holy Spirit to fill you with fear of the Lord. Ask God what the fear of the Lord looks like for you and write it down.
The [reverent] fear of the LORD [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] is the beginning and the preeminent part of knowledge [its starting point and its essence];
But arrogant [a]fools despise [skillful and godly] wisdom and instruction and self-discipline.Proverbs 1:7 (AMP)
