The Terror of the Lord is on Your Side Christian, What is there to Fear?

All who believe are of Abraham's seed, God made a  Covenant with Abraham and that includes you as a believer.

Galatians 3:29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

All believers receive God’s Righteousness Through Faith

Romans 3:21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

By Faith They Overcame and so will you.

Hebrews 11:30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days. 31 By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace. 
32 And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets: 33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. 35 Women received their dead raised to life again.

Faith is gift from God, why not ask Him for more so you can walk in His Power through faith and fear nothing. (Recommended reading 'the faith chapter' of Hebrews 11)


Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

The Holy Spirit is God's power in you.

Now back to Abraham. Did you know God's Covenant with Abraham is passed down to you through his seed?

The Terror of the Lord is passed down from Abraham unto us for an inheritance, for us and our seed forever! (If you are a born again believer in Jesus Christ you are of Abraham's seed, see Galatians 3:29 above)

The Book of Jasher 54:60. Dost thou not know or hast thou not heard that our father Abraham with his servant Eliezer smote all the kings of Elam with their hosts in one night, they left not one remaining? and ever since that day our father's strength was given unto us for an inheritance, for us and our seed forever.

Genesis 17:4 “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. 5 No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations. 6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you. 7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you.

The terror of the Lord coming forth from Judah when he roared like a lion and shrieked at Joseph and all Egypt over Benjamin made the walls of Egypt fall, Pharaoh fall off his throne, and all the pregnant women miscarry. 

From one man thousands fled for their lives, what did Judah do to accomplish this?

• He knew his God intimately
• He trusted his God
• He stood on God's Word without wavering 
• He established God as his witness in discussion with Joseph
• He established Joseph's manipulation
• He established that he had no desire to fight and would leave peaceably with Benjamin's release
• Joseph stood on his own power, his soldiers, and Pharaoh's might and continued to try and intimidate Judah and his brothers
• Finally Judah enraged with righteous anger drew his sword and opened his mouth and out came the terror of God, the Holy Spirit's power

Jasher 54: 41. And when the sons of Jacob saw these troops they were greatly afraid of their lives, and Joseph did so in order to terrify the sons of Jacob to become tranquilized.
42. And Judah, seeing some of his brethren terrified, said unto them, Why are you afraid whilst the grace of God is with us? and when Judah saw all the people of Egypt surrounding them at the command of Joseph to terrify them, only Joseph commanded them, saying, Do not touch any of them.

43.Then Judah hastened and drew his sword, and uttered a loud and bitter scream, and he smote with his sword, and he sprang upon the ground and he still continued to shout against all the people.
44. And when he did this thing the Lord caused the terror of Judah and his brethren to fall upon the valiant men and all the people that surrounded them.
45. And they all fled at the sound of the shouting, and they were terrified and fell one upon the other, and many of them died as they fell, and they all fled from before Judah and his brethren and from before Joseph.
46. And whilst they were fleeing, Judah and his brethren pursued them unto the house of Pharaoh, and they all escaped, and Judah again sat before Joseph and roared at him like a lion, and gave a great and tremendous shriek at him.

47. And the shriek was heard at a distance, and all the inhabitants of Succoth heard it, and all Egypt quaked at the sound of the shriek, and also the walls of Egypt and of the land of Goshen fell in from the shaking of the earth, and Pharaoh also fell from his throne upon the ground, and also all the pregnant women of Egypt and Goshen miscarried.

This terror of the Lord is also found in the New Testament and is used to persuade men.

2 Corinthians 5:11 Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.

2 Corinthians 12:9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 


Hebrews 11:33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. 35 Women received their dead raised to life again.

In our weakness God's strength comes forth and He is glorified. AMEN

Fear not, rely on God's strength and not your own and listen closely and follow His lead.
