It is this: When we fear Elohim, we won\u2019t fear our enemies. When we don\u2019t fear Elohim, we will fear and be tormented by our enemies.<\/p>\n<p>What is it to fear Elohim? It is to walk in the wisdom of his commandments or his loving instructions in righteousness. Rebellious humans have a hard time doing this, since their sin nature is opposed to submitting to YHVH legal instructions (Jer 17:9; Rom 8:7). Once, however, one gets their sin nature under control with the help of Yeshua, and one begins to love and fear Elohim by keeping his commandments, suddenly the physical things they once feared no longer have any hold on their hearts and minds.<\/p>\n<p>Having defeated the greatest enemy of all\u2014one\u2019s sin nature\u2014with Elohim\u2019s help effectively empowers and emboldens the saint. He now realizes he can, with Elohim\u2019s help, overcome any enemy. So now what is there to fear?<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, at the end of one\u2019s life, the overcoming saint has the ultimate victory in his possession. That is the victory over death, which is the mother of all fears!<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Know Elohim, No Fear; No Elohim, Know Fear',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2018\/07\/24\/know-elohim-no-fear\/',contentID: 'post-12841',suggestTags: 'Deuteronomy,Fear,Fear of Elohim,Fear of God',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deuteronomy 3:22, Must fear them.
