F.B. Meyer discusses the fear David experienced when he disobeyed God's commands regarding the transport of the Ark of the Covenant. By placing the Ark on a cart instead of having it carried by the priests, David ignored the divine regulations, leading to Uzza's tragic death. Meyer emphasizes that God responds to us based on our actions; those who obey Him experience His blessings, while disobedience leads to fear and consequences. He encourages believers to welcome God's presence into their lives, assuring that obedience brings divine favor and protection.

David Ravenhill passionately addresses the struggles of Christians with overpowering lust and sinful habits in his sermon 'Wild Donkeys.' He emphasizes the importance of recognizing the spirit of a wild donkey that drives individuals back to their sins, despite their desire for freedom. Ravenhill shares personal testimonies of individuals who have battled with sin and highlights the necessity of having a genuine fear of God to achieve true deliverance. He encourages the congregation to seek repentance and the fear of the Lord, assuring them that victory over sin is possible through faith in Jesus Christ. The message culminates in a call for those struggling with sin to come forward for prayer and deliverance.

John Bevere emphasizes the critical importance of the fear of God in the life of believers, lamenting the alarming trend of people leaving the faith and the need for a genuine move of God. He reflects on his own experiences of God's presence and the necessity of character development in the church to handle God's glory. Bevere asserts that true holiness and intimacy with God stem from a deep reverence and awe for Him, which leads to obedience and a transformative relationship. He warns against the dangers of losing this fear, as it can lead to spiritual complacency and disconnection from God's will. Ultimately, he calls for a return to the fear of God as the foundation for a vibrant faith and a deeper understanding of His love.

Thomas Brooks emphasizes the dread that unholy people feel in the presence of God's holiness, as expressed in Isaiah 30:11. He notes that many prefer messages of mercy over the challenging truth of God's holiness, which can terrify the unrepentant sinner. However, for those who are holy, the revelation of God's holiness brings joy and satisfaction, as it aligns with their love for God. Brooks asserts that true love for God's holiness leads to a shared experience of His holiness in the believer's life.
