It’s been said elsewhere that perfect fear casts out love; and it may come as a surprise, but I happen to agree: Perfect fear of the Lord casts out the love, ala 2 Timothy 3:2, of the self i.e. mankind. Works like this; the inerrant and infallible inspired Word of the one true and living God the Bible says:

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. (Proverbs 1:7)

A wise man fears the LORD and shuns evil, but a fool is hotheaded and reckless. (Proverbs 14:16)

Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe. (Proverbs 29:25) 

So…be afraid; be very afraid…of Him, in holy reverential fear, and Jesus will keep you from being snared in the mounting deceptions spewed through seducing spirits and their doctrines of demons in the new deformation of the Christian faith becoming known as Emergence Christianity.
