7 Pillars of Powerful Living
Proverbs 9:1 NIV
Wisdom has built her house; she has set up its seven pillars.
Pillar #1 - The Fear of the Lord | Mentioned at least 16x in the Book of Proverbs
The Fear of God is a profound reverence, awe, and respect for God that acknowledges His holiness, power, and authority.
Proverbs 1:7 NKJV
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
The Fear of the Lord is not just about applying the Word, it’s how you approach the Word!
Proverbs 1:20-23 NLT
Wisdom shouts in the streets. She cries out in the public square.21 She calls to the crowds along the main street, to those gathered in front of the city gate:22 “How long, you simpletons, will you insist on being simpleminded? How long will you mockers relish your mocking? How long will you fools hate knowledge? 23 Come and listen to my counsel. I’ll share my heart with you and make you wise.
Proverbs 1:24-25 NLT
I called you so often, but you wouldn’t come. I reached out to you, but you paid no attention. 25 You ignored my advice and rejected the correction I offered.
Proverbs 1:29-31 NLT
For they hated knowledge and chose not to fear the Lord.
30 They rejected my advice and paid no attention when I corrected them. 31Therefore, they must eat the bitter fruit of living their own way, choking on their own schemes.

If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures; 5 Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, And find the knowledge of God.

In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence, And His children will have a place of refuge. The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, To turn one away from the snares of death.
Proverbs 15:16 NKJV
Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, Than great treasure with trouble.
Proverbs 15:33 NKJV
The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom, And before honor is humility.

Do not let your heart envy sinners, But be zealous for the fear of the Lord all the day;
What does the Fear of the Lord practically look like in my day to day life in 2025?

A heartfelt desire to experience His approval and blessing.
A profound appreciation for His greatness and beauty.

today and I'm going to continue reading a proverb a day and God just began to stir this this this series in my heart most of the Proverbs were written by King Solomon he's he's known to be the wisest man that ever walked ever breathed the breath on planet Earth you can read about his story in the Bible but in First Kings 4:32 it says that King Solomon wrote 3,000 Proverbs and a, and five songs come on how you know that's a lot of music to write right there the book Book of Proverbs however only includes
800 of the 3,000 Proverbs that he wrote vers uh chapters 1- 24 were actually believed to be written by Solomon 25 chapters 25- 29 uh are believed to be uh copied by hezekiah's scribes and the last two chapters 30 and 31 by two separate individuals the purpose of Proverbs we find in Proverbs Chapter 1 which we're going to be camping at most of today it says this about the Proverbs their purpose is to teach people wisdom and discipline how many you could use some more wisdom and discipline in your life yes to help them understand the
insights of the wise their purpose is to teach people to live disciplined and successful lives how you know a successful life come on takes discipline to help them do what is right just and fair these Proverbs will give insight to the simple knowledge and discernment to the young let the wise listen to these Proverbs and become even wiser how many wise people do I have in the room come on how you know you haven't arrived yet there's still more to learn let those with understanding receive guidance by exploring the meaning in
these Proverbs and Parables the words of the wise and their riddles you see the Proverbs were written to teach us the most fundamental skills for thriving in our faith come on how many want to thrive in 25 I told myself I wasn't going to say it but I'm going to say it again come on how many time it's time it's time to just not survive 25 it's time to thrive in 2025 you got that for free I didn't say that in any other service I said pastor Dean you're not going to be cheesy today but I just you just got the cheese all
right Proverbs were written to teach us the most fundamental skills for thriving in our faith with practical and right living before God in every area of your life think about those areas we discussed all those different areas spiritually emotionally financially mentally physically all those different areas in your life let me give you some of Pastor Dean's book of definitions of the Proverbs for the believing Christian a proverb is a nugget of Truth and wisdom that when apply applied how many know we got to
apply it we just can't read it right we've got to apply it to our lives when applied it gives us the ability to live skillfully in an ungodly world how you know words God's word can navigate come on the times that we're living in let me just say that again a proverb is a nugget of Truth and wisdom that when applied to your life will give you the ability to live skillfully in an ungodly world now this is what I want you to catch if you hear nothing else from me today listen get this in your spirit write it in your
notes all the notes by the way are in the uver app go to events Real Life Church Sacramento they're all right there a proverb is not a promise it's quiet I know a proverb is not a promise it's a principle that if practiced will produce powerful results in your life in other words listen anybody can learn the blessings of the principles of God's word they're not just for the few there's not just for the chosen they're for anybody who applies them you see the promises of God are unconditional there have been promises
listen that have been spoken over real life church that don't depend on me those promises listen the promise listen for a building and what God will do through that building listen outlive my life listen they will go on from generation to generation to generation cuz how many you know come on God's promises are not annual come on they are generational so listen those prom God's promises do not depend on me they are unconditional promises there are certain promises from from God that are not dependent of human actions obedience or
circumstances the principles of God's word however require us come on to be responsible they require us to apply them to our lives let me just give you an example probably one of the most quoted Proverbs that is mistaken for an unconditional promise is Proverbs 22: 6 it says train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it you see we want the promised result of the child come on not departing from it we want the promised result of what the principle produces but we have to ask ourselves
are we doing or have we done what the principle requires see if you have a child listen that has gone Wayward listen that has done their own thing maybe drifted away from the Lord yet you have not practiced the principle listen of train in them up what I'm saying is you have to trange you have to change your strategy you might have to do warfare prayer over your child listen you might have to bring repentance before the Lord and say God I I neglected or maybe you got saved later in life Lord I neglected these things in my life I see what I've
done I see what I didn't do and now God I repent and God I'm asking you reach my child where they're at today do you see the difference listen let me just give it to you this way our kids are not perfect growing up anybody else's kids not perfect I remember Josiah calling me in my son calling me his sophomore year of college and just confessing just pouring out dad I I just haven't been I just haven't been living right he went on to share kept sharing just kept confessing I just let him go and
because we pray practice the principle right I could say son your mom and I taught you better than that son we lived out this thing called Christianity before you son we taught you better than you know better than that so listen you because you know better than that listen you can do better than what you're doing you see I have to have seed in the ground come on if I'm going to put a demand on the blessing of the principal if I don't have seed in the ground I can't put a demand on it so it's not a
promise it's just not a promise that's given to you listen train up a child in the way he should go I've got to do the training so that I could put a demand on you guys go where I'm going with this it's just like the church this is what I'm saying to everybody I'm trying to say listen recognize the increase recognize the blessing that God has on real life get seed in the ground and I'm not just talking about finances get get time in the ground get prayer over 106 people on our intercessory team praying
actually praying every all these 10 days praying every Monday for the last almost two years get time in the ground get your treasure in the ground don't wait why principal sake so you could put a demand on the seed that you have planted see we want the promised result of what what the principle produces but are we doing or have we done what the principle requires you see a skill everybody say a skill skill a proverb is a skill with discipline can that with discipline can create something beautiful in your life
if applied everybody say if applied see what we're going to learn over the next several weeks is that by ining our lives with with the wisdom found in Proverbs we position ourselves to see the results of God's principles fulfilled and his power displayed in our lives by applying the Practical the Timeless principles for living in alignment with God's ways see here's the big idea of this entire series that I want you to get as God's people we all long to see his promises fulfilled and his power displayed in our lives however
we often violate the very principles that guide us to experience his power and the Fulfillment of those promises this is what I've discovered you can be so focused on following principles that you rely on your own understanding and you leave little room for God's power to work and breathe life into the principles secondly you can become so focused on God's power that you Overlook the importance of living by his principles this is what we're seeing in the body of Christ worldwide we see people with I'm just saying I'm just
saying pastors preachers with great success listen this puts the fear of God in Me with great success right and they they they achieve this success maybe some would say Celebrity Status right we all watch them we all listen to them and then all of a sudden we see that they have fallen they Fallen so what has happened they have forgotten about the principles listen they got to where they were at they forgot to give glory to God come on they forgot to just say this is why I'm here it's not nothing that I've
done it's what he's done because I practiced these things in my life Proverbs 11:4 says in the message written by Eugene Peterson it's a paraphrase version it says this a thick bank roll is no help when life falls apart but a principled life can stand up to the worst how many you know we can always fall back on God's principles Proverbs 12:5 the thinking of principled people how many know we got to think right come on we got to think right if we're going to do people right listen the thinking of principle people makes
for justice the plots of degenerates corrupt job 179 he said this but principled people hold tight keep a firm grip on life sure that the their clean pure hands will get stronger and stronger let me just give you one more practical example of what I'm talking about in regards to what it looks like to violate God's principles let's take the principle of honoring God with our finances Proverbs 39 and 10 says honor the Lord with your possessions and with the first fruit of all your increase how you like
increase so your barns will be filled how many like being filled come on your Vats will overflow how many you guys like the Overflow but what happens is we we love God's promise of provision and blessing but we violate the principle by not honoring the Lord with our possessions and our finances you see it's not just about your 10% it's what are you doing with the 90% that God's giv you to Steward to manage because listen I was talking to a pastor yesterday and I noticed on on uh we got together and I noticed on uh
Instagram I noticed that he had a fellowship time with couples coming over his house and I said man that is so awesome man that you had those couples over your house and he said you know what my wife and I said because the lord gave us this house we were going to use it for him and that everybody would always be welcome and we were going to use it for a place of ministry not just a place where we hide oh come on somebody I like man that is God right there we love God's promise of provision and blessing but we violate the principle by
not honoring the Lord with our possession and our finances so instead of experiencing God's provision in our finances which come come on come by submitting oursel and obeying the principles we are unstable we have no Financial Peace so over the next several weeks I want to share with you Seven Pillars of powerful living we're only get to one pillar today but Seven Pillars of powerful living Proverbs 9:1 I came across this in my reading and it says this wisdom has built her house she has set up its Seven
Pillars and I began to just say man I want to I want those seven pillars in my life what are they and so I began to study it I looked what theologians said I looked at what Scholars said I read everything I could find about the seven pillars that we need to have set up in your life and you know what I found nobody knows what those Seven Pillars are so I'm going to give you what I think those Seven Pillars are over the next seven weeks and the way I did it was I Fel I said Holy Spirit what are these Seven Pillars and he said do a
word search and so I did a word search of how many times certain words were repeated in the Book of Proverbs and from there I chose the Seven Pillars and the first one first pillar that God wants to set up in our lives in 2025 is the fear of the Lord the fear of the Lord is mentioned 16 times in the Book of Proverbs how many know if something is mentioned 16 times we ought to pay attention to it the fear of God let me give you a definition is a profound reverence and awe and respect for God that acknowledges his holiness power and
authority in our lives it's not a fear rooted in Terror instead it is rooted in a deep awareness of his greatness a deep awareness of his Justice a deep awareness of his love listen that when we are captivated by his love when we are captivated by who he is obedience follows humility follows our worship follows it's what we just were sensing here I don't know if you s it in service but every time I sense this I'm like oh no here we go again Lord do you want me to preach cuz I won't preach God if you
want to touch your people with your manifest presence because God I know you can do in 5 minutes what a 45 minute sermon can do listen if we're going to walk as a church in Greater wisdom and knowledge in 2025 we have to get back to having reverence and being a by the principles of his word if we're going to understand the times and know what to do how many know the world is crazy listen we got the incident in New Orleans we got suicides in Las Vegas we got things blowing up and we need to start with understanding
the fear of the Lord Proverbs 1:7 says the fear of the Lord is the beginning there's a lot of talk about Beginnings but can I just say this will you begin your year with the fear of the Lord will you begin your year with reverence will you begin your year with awe will you begin your year with realizing who he is in your life will you begin your life respecting the principle of his word Proverbs 1:7 the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge how many you want to know him better in 2025 but fools despise wisdom and
instruction see this is the fear of the Lord it's having profound re awe and respect for the principle of God's word being the starting point where everything in your life everybody say everything in my life everything in my life in every area of my life say in every area of my life can begin to change because you are elevating the word of God above your ways come on you're elevating the word of God above your will come on above the wisdom of this world in other words we are to raise our standard of
living according to the word come on not lower the word come on to the standard of our living listen how many know we've got to lift the word up higher come on Jesus is the Living Word come on I worship you Jesus you're first in my life you see the fear of the Lord this is what I want us to get the fear of the Lord is not just just about applying the word it's how you approach the word do you believe that it's divinely inspired come on do you believe that it can divinely correct you come on and train
you come on and raise you up and release you to a greater purpose a greater Destiny this is what God has for us if we'll allow the Holy Spirit to breathe on the pages of this book we will walk come on in a greater reverence and allwe of who he is you see we have to move and when I'm how many know I'm included we have to move from the word of God being optional to it being essential it's not just Dusty principles on a page in a book it's the Living Word of God that every time I open up my Bible it has the ability to breathe
lifegiving knowledge Life Giving wisdom Life Giving instruction lifegiving skill on everything that is dead dry and Dusty in my life how many you got some dead dry and Dusty stuff in your life come on God wants to blow that off he wants to refresh you he wants to renew you and you know how you restore reverence in your life repentance God I've missed the mark God I haven't feared I've feared men more than I feared you at this time of year millions of dollars are spent on invest ing in trainers and health coaches and life
coaches to get back I'm not against any of that I've done it I'm still doing it but we spend so much time looking for the right program looking for the right formula come on looking for proven success that we Overlook the ancient paths that when approached with reverence and awe can produce a life to be envied I talked about this what do you mean a life to be envied man look at their family I love their F hey what's so different about your family what's so different about why do your kids behave so differently hey why
you always getting the raise at work why are you always standing out amongst the crowd a life to be envy that when people look at you listen they see listen you point to God's glory working through your life but they see the work of God you say it's not me is God it's the Lord amen when we approach the word with the fear of the Lord with a profound reverence awe and respect for God that acknowledges his Holiness power and authority we will discover happiness purpose and Intimacy in our relationship
with God listen there is no true happiness without holiness you say what is h just separate I want to separate myself according to his word I want to separate myself Accord according to his word I want to walk in my purpose I want to walk in his plan I want to walk in his promises come on how you know that takes Holiness come on that takes us separating from the ways of the world and say I'm going to walk in this way proverb goes on to say that wisdom is waiting to be found how you know wisdom is waiting on
you if you go on in Proverbs 1 20-23 it says wisdom shouts in the streets Mike don't do it Rebecca uhuh wisdom is shouting in the streets she cries out in the Public Square you've heard the voice I know you have she calls to the crowd along the Main Street to those gathered in front of The City Gate how how long you simpletons will you insist on being simple-minded how long will you mockers relish your mocking how long will you fools hate knowledge come and listen to my counsel I'll share my heart with you
and make you wise wisdom is looking for you so if wisdom is looking for you what is keeping you from coming and listening to the Lord's counsel what is keeping you from from taking time to allow the Lord to share his heart heart for you if we're honest sometimes we choose not to come sometimes we choose not to listen to the Lord's counsel we find ourselves in financial crisis relational Calamity confusing and chaotic circumstances because our foolishness has blinded us from choosing the fear of the Lord again walking in
reverence and H of the words that he's already spoken to us you see no one can force you to fear the lord it's a choice everybody say it's a choice choice no one can force you to approach the word of God with reverence and awe no one can force you to practice Godly principles so here's the deal if you don't choose to fear the lord you just have to be ready to reap the results of your unfortunate choices how many you ever had kids that don't listen to you as parents parents we all know the
frustration of having our kids ignoring our advice that many times is learned from our lived experiences and here is Solomon inspired by the Holy Spirit saying Hey listen Church pay attention church I'm calling out to you wisdom is crying out your name there's a better way everybody say there's a better way Proverbs 1:24 to2 it says this I called you so often but you wouldn't come I reached out to you but you paid no attention you ignored my advice and rejected the correction I offered jump down to 29-31 for they
hated knowledge and chose not to fear the lord they chose not to walk in reverence of my word they chose not to be in awe of my word they chose not to respect and acknowledge my principles they paid no attention when I corrected them therefore they must eat how many know you going to have to eat your Harvest good or bad you're going to have to eat your Harvest therefore they must eat their bitter the bitter fruit of living their own way choking here we go choking on their own schemes you see I'm sure most of us have
heard the definition of insanity it's to do the same thing over and over again expecting different results how you know that's a foolish way to live and it's a foolish way to to enter into 2025 the good news is that it's never too late to start seeking wisdom and we see in Proverbs 2 verse 4-5 if I could have the band come please if you seek her as silver and search for her as Hidden Treasures then you will understand then says you might understand it says you will understand the fear of the Lord and
find the knowledge of God how many of you want to learn how God thinks come on Proverbs 8:13 the fear of the Lord is to hate evil pride and arrogance in the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate listen one of the indicators of the fear of the Lord is that you hate evil not entertain evil it's okay listen it's okay to draw a line in the sand and say not me nope I'm not going to the tonight hello the fear of the Lord is the beginning everybody say the beginning the beginning there's a beginning I want us to begin as a church
this year with a fresh reverence a fresh awe how many you want to be ODed by God man I mean 2024 is just odd mean I mean I was already odd I want to be odd more how many you want to approach the word which more respect God I want to do what you say God I want to see these principles manifest themselves in my business God I want to Pro I want to start cutting Corners I want to start doing it your way not my way God I want to start seeing my my family Thrive God I I I want to apply the principles to my communication I'm I'm
losing I'm flying off the handle God I want a I want a gentle response in 2025 L God I I want to walk in the BL I want to walk in increase I want to honor you with the finding I want to live differently listen if I want different results I've got to practice the principles that God has laid out you see the more we lead with reverence awe and respect for God that acknowledges his Holiness power and authority in our lives listen it's just the beginning everybody say it's just the beginning of an adventure with God and I'm
