Romans 11:17-21
NLT
17 But some of
these branches from Abraham’s tree—some of the people of
Israel—have been broken off. And you Gentiles, who were branches
from a wild olive tree, have been grafted in. So now you also receive
the blessing God has promised Abraham and his children, sharing in
the rich nourishment from the root of God’s special olive tree.
18 But you must
not brag about being grafted in to replace the branches that were
broken off. You are just a branch, not the root.
19 “Well,”
you may say, “those branches were broken off to make room for me.”
20 Yes, but
remember—those branches were broken off because they didn’t
believe in Christ, and you are there because you do believe. So don’t
think highly of yourself, but fear what could happen. (KJV "Be
not high minded, but fear*")
21 For if God
did not spare the original branches, He won’t spare you either.
*Fear Phobeo (Fob-eh-o): To frighten, to be alarmed; to be in

Phobeo (Fob-eh-o): The holy, awesome, alarming presence of
God, a presence that demands reverence, and absolute obeisance. Is
His presence frightening? Yes, but not tormenting or punishing fear, as
with Phobos. In Phobeo (Godly fear), in our total reverence and
obeisance, we are reminded, by the Apostle Paul...

For ye have not
received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received
The Spirit Of
Adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

And because ye
are sons, God hath sent forth The Spirit Of His Son into your hearts,
crying, Abba, Father.
Love and kinship, joined with awesome reverence and Godly fear.

Timothy 1:7 KJV
For God hath
not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a
sound mind.
Addendum:
More than perhaps, we must consider one more thought, concerning “the
fear of God.”
Our enemy, has never had an original idea, all he can do is try to
ruin what God has created, or manufacture a demented version of God's
original plan.
Concerning the fear of God, what has he done? He substitutes all the
evil fear he can, to take place of Godly fear in peoples lives.
OK, read that again!
Horror filled movies, (Halloween- waiting in the wings, haunted
houses), Fearful amusement rides, spiritual fears, Ouija boards,
seances, channeling, etc. etc.
Many seek these things, to be literally scared to death.
They have a “need, of fear,:” and the enemy has done his best to
meet that need.
Dear friend, we need to stay near to The Lord, or it will be easy for
us as well, to be lured away from our Living God's original plan.
Psalm 111:10
The fear of The
Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they
that do His commandments: His praise endureth for ever.
Proverbs 14:27
The fear*
of The Lord is a fountain of Life, to depart from the snares of
death.
Prayer:
I John 1:8-10
KJV
8 If we say that we have no sin, we
deceive ourselves, and The Truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, He is
Faithful and Just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.
10 If we say
that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in
us.
