Walking in The Fear of THE LORD keeps us from being exploited or manipulated by the world!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Corinthians chapter 1:

19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”

Paul referenced Isaiah 29:13-14.

FATHER spoke in Isaiah chapter 29:

13  Therefore the Lord said: “Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths And honor Me with their lips, But have removed their hearts far from Me, And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men (man-made rules),

14 Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work Among this people, A marvelous work and a wonder; For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.”

Man-made rules are simply exploitation and manipulation by men who speak with eloquent and enticing words.  They are known as master manipulators.  Many have been described as wolves in sheep’s clothing so beware!

Yes, the Fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure!  This is where the essence of abundant life resides.  Your smartphone has no life and most of your interaction is based on the world’s intended exploitation and manipulation. 

Why do smartphones come with games?  To move your focus to entertainment.  Why are there so many TV screens in restaurants?  To cause you to focus on entertainment rather than carry on a conversation with the person across from you.  Why are there now more than 300 channels available on cable TV?  Why is your smartphone capable of streaming videos?  Why do we need 5G technology for a simple phone call or text?  We don’t!  Can’t we see what the adversary is trying to move us away from?

Can young people spend ten minutes in silence, pursuing THE LORD without the mind wondering?  If they can’t,  they are being exploited and manipulated by the world (who are submitted to the adversary).

Exercising the brain is not bad in itself.  However, if your spirit is dormant, your mind will not be renewed by THE SPIRIT.

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Peter chapter 4:

7  But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.

8 And above all things have fervent Love for one another, for “Love will cover a multitude of sins.”

9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.

10 As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

11 If anyone speaks, let him speak as the Oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to Whom belong the glory and the Dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Hmmm, no smartphones, IPads, tablets, smart TV’s, or other technology were mentioned.  Instead, focus on walking in the Fear of THE LORD.

Since we are approaching the end of all things, be intentional, purposeful, and self-controlled so that you can be given to prayer.  Don’t allow yourself to become lukewarm.

PS: Yes, I know you are reading with a device mentioned above.  Technology is meant to be a tool to spread The Gospel and Love toward one another, not to be used for the purpose of redirecting our focus away from Jesus Christ.

Walking in The Fear of THE LORD is Sacred and as a result, we are able to walk in FATHER’S Wisdom!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Corinthians chapter 1:

17   For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”

I now marvel at the blindness of the world and their foolishness in believing those who speak by the world’s wisdom and understanding.  This deception is how the adversary keeps people enslaved.  FATHER’S Word will set the captives free if they will submit to the Fear of THE LORD.  After all, FATHER has the power to wipe us all out in a nanosecond if HE were not Love.  Who else has such power?

Paul continues in chapter 2:

1   And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God.

2 For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

3 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.

4 And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

5 that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

Said another way:

1 My brothers and sisters, when I first came to proclaim to you the Secrets of God, I refused to come as an expert, trying to impress you with my eloquent speech and lofty wisdom.

2 For while I was with you I was determined to be consumed with one topic—Jesus, the crucified Messiah.

3 I stood before you feeling inadequate, filled with reverence for God, and trembling under the sense of the importance of my words.

4 The message I preached and how I preached it was not an attempt to sway you with persuasive arguments but to prove to you the almighty power of God’s Holy Spirit.

5 For God intended that your faith not be established on man’s wisdom but by trusting in His Almighty power.

I am not an expert in anything, but I am a student of all.  Early in my business career, I was a bank officer in the state’s largest bank.  I decided that I should pursue an MBA to enhance my career.  FATHER spoke to me and said, “You don’t need it.”  The desire went away.  I found that HIS anointing and favor were better than any further education.  I simply pursued my calling based on being led by The Holy Spirit.  Did I make mistakes along the way?  Yes, but HIS grace and mercy were more than sufficient.  I repented often.

I am not an eloquent speaker nor am I an accomplished writer.  It is by HIS SPIRIT that I am able to write to you.  Some days, I have no leading.  Once I began to worship HIM and study, The Holy Spirit will guide me in that day’s communication to you.  I take no credit.

I have the same concern for our brothers and sisters as seen in Paul’s writings.  He was known as THE expert among the Pharisees.  His education was second to none.  However, he finally realized the inadequacy of his past endeavors.  Once he encountered the Fear of THE LORD, everything changed.  He became a new creation in Christ.

Surrender to THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY and walk in The Fear of THE LORD.  When you do, HIS Treasure will open up to you and give you access.

HE will be your constant Source of stability in changing times, and out of HIS abundant Love HE gives you the riches of salvation, Wisdom, and knowledge. Yes, the Fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure!

Walking in The Fear of THE LORD is Sacred as is Communion!

What happened to the reverence and respect of the assembling together in The NAME OF THE LORD?  Have the assemblies become profane (commonplace)?

Has Communion become a tradition rather than a Sacred event?  Solomon led the children of Israel back to the realization of Who GOD is and what HE deserves and expects from us.

I strongly recommend you read the following passage with great reverence and deep respect.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in 2^nd Chronicles chapter 6:

12  Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands

13 (for Solomon had made a bronze platform five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and he stood on it, knelt down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward Heaven);

14 and he said: “LORD God of Israel, there is no God in Heaven or on earth like You, Who keep Your covenant and mercy with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts.

15 You have kept what You promised Your servant David my father; You have both spoken with Your Mouth and fulfilled it with Your Hand, as it is this day.

16 Therefore, LORD God of Israel, now keep what You promised Your servant David my father, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man sit before Me on the throne of Israel, only if your sons take heed to their way, that they walk in My Law as you have walked before Me.’

17 And now, O LORD God of Israel, let Your Word come true, which You have spoken to Your servant David.

18 “But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, Heaven and the Heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this temple which I have built!

19 Yet regard the prayer of Your servant and his supplication, O LORD my God, and listen to the cry and the prayer which Your servant is praying before You:

20 that Your Eyes may be open toward this temple day and night, toward the place where You said You would put Your Name, that You may hear the prayer which Your servant makes toward this place.

21 And may You hear the supplications of Your servant and of Your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Hear from Heaven Your dwelling place, and when You hear, forgive.

41   then hear from Heaven Your Dwelling Place their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive Your people who have sinned against You.

41 “Now therefore, Arise, O LORD God, to Your Resting Place, You and the ark of Your Strength. Let Your priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, And let Your saints rejoice in goodness.

42 “O LORD God, do not turn away the face of Your Anointed; Remember the mercies of Your servant David.”

7:1  When Solomon had finished praying, Fire came down from Heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the Glory of the LORD filled the temple.

2 And the priests could not enter the house of the LORD, because the Glory of the LORD had filled the LORD’s House.

3 When all the children of Israel saw how the Fire came down, and the Glory of the LORD on the temple, they bowed their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped and praised the LORD, saying:

“For He is good, For His mercy endures forever.”

FATHER received true worship recorded in the above passage and responded accordingly.  It is time for the church to repent are reestablish the deep respect and reverence Our Heavenly Father deserves.

We must not sacrifice Sacredness simply to fill seats in the assemblies!

When we truly focus on The Fear of THE LORD, we come into unity with HIM!

Are you chasing miracles?  Are you pursuing knowledge?  Are you chasing after the next “revelation”?  Are you hungering for another prophecy?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 12:

1  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, Holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect Will of God.

We are to be Holy and acceptable to FATHER.  This allows us to enter into HIS Presence where the Fear of THE LORD resides.

We are to stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around us but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how we think. This change in mindset will empower us to discern God’s Will, perfect in His Eyes.

Are you seeking out His gifts or the Gift Giver?  We are to enjoy HIS Presence for everything else is secondary.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 24:

13  Now behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was seven miles from Jerusalem.

14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

15 So it was, while they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus Himself drew near and went with them.

16 But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not know Him.

17 And He said to them, “What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you walk and are sad?”

18 Then the one whose name was Cleopas answered and said to Him, “Are You the only stranger in Jerusalem, and have You not known the things which happened there in these days?”

19 And He said to them, “What things?” So they said to Him, “The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a Prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,

20 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and crucified Him.

21 But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened.

22 Yes, and certain women of our company, who arrived at the tomb early, astonished us.

23 When they did not find His Body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said He was alive.

24 And certain of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but Him they did not see.”

25 Then He said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

26 Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?” 27 And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

28 Then they drew near to the village where they were going, and He indicated that He would have gone farther.

29 But they constrained Him, saying, “Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.” And He went in to stay with them.

30 Now it came to pass, as He sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.

31 Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight.

The breaking of bread represents Christ’s Body and when the “breaking” occurred, their eyes were opened, not before.  Communion is the realization of a Spiritual union between Christ and those who come together with the right heart.

Communion is meant to bring us into unity with Christ and each other as we discern Him and His Love for us.  Jesus instructed the two men with Scripture and Its meaning, all pointing to Him.  However, once they came into unity with Him, their eyes were opened, and He revealed Himself.  Let us walk in Holiness so that we can fully commune with Him!

We need to discern the value of The Fear of THE LORD.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Isaiah chapter 33:

6  Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, And the strength of salvation; The Fear of the LORD is His treasure.

In order to become a fully mature Son or Daughter of GOD, it is vital that we pursue the full manifestation of The Fear of THE LORD in our lives.  After all, HE is the King and Ruler of the universe.  HE created all… including you and me.  There is no place where HE cannot access it.

Read the following closely and reverently-

The Beloved Disciple recorded by The Holy Spirit in Revelations chapter 5:

1  And I saw in the Right Hand of Him Who sat on the Throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals.

2 Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?”

3 And no one in Heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.

4 So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it.

How would you dress for this occasion?  Would you dare consider yourself worthy to open and read the scroll?  No, you would have your face planted down on the floor in reverence and awe of where you were at… in the Presence of THE ALMIGHTY!

5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.”

6 And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the Right Hand of Him who sat on the throne.

8   Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

9 And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

10 And have made us kings and priests to Our God; And we shall reign on the earth.“

The powerful angels were in full worship around The Throne.  What would you wear to the celebration?  Your best, not sweatpants and tennis shoes.

11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,

12 saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and Wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

13 And every creature which is in Heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: “Blessing and Honor and Glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”

14 Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him Who lives forever and ever.

We are to walk in Holiness with reverence and respect every day.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2 Timothy chapter 1:

6  I’m writing to encourage you to fan into a flame and rekindle the fire of the Spiritual gift God imparted to you when I laid my hands upon you.

7 For God will never give you the spirit of fear, but the Holy Spirit Who gives you mighty power, Love, and self-control.

Yield to The Holy Fire!

Now is the time to heat things up.

We are to subdue the earth by walking in The Fear of THE LORD.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in 2^nd Samuel chapter 23:

1  Now these are the last words of David. Thus says David the son of Jesse; Thus says the man raised up on high, The anointed of the God of Jacob, And the sweet psalmist of Israel:

2 “The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, And His Word was on my tongue.

3 The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me: ‘He who rules over men must be just, Ruling in the Fear of God.

4 And he shall be like the light of the morning when the sun rises, A morning without clouds, Like the tender grass springing out of the earth, By clear shining after rain.’

5 “Although my house is not so with God, Yet He has made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in all things and secure. For this is all my salvation and all my desire; Will He not make it increase?”

Though David was imperfect, he was a man after GOD’S Own Heart.

It is written about David by THE SPIRIT in 1^st Samuel chapter 13:

14  But (Saul) now your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD has sought for Himself a man after His Own Heart, and the LORD has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you.”

David Loved THE LORD and experienced THE FEAR OF THE LORD.  Love drew him near to the Presence of THE LORD and he ruled accordingly.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Timothy chapter 4:

1  I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, Who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His Kingdom:

2 Preach the Word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;

4 and they will turn their ears away from the Truth, and be turned aside to fables (ritualistic ceremonies).

5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

Some will be deceived.  We must actively resist any and all temptations.  If you knew you were being deceived, then you are not being deceived… how subtle!

The time is coming when men will no longer listen and respond to the healing Words of Truth because they will become selfish and proud. They will seek out teachers with soothing words that line up with their desires, saying just what they want to hear.  How many churches are expanding because they have promoted soothing words of THE WORD?  Where is the Fear of THE LORD in their meetings?  Where is The Holy Spirit manifesting?

Open my eyes FATHER, I don’t want to be deceived.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 81:

8  “Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you! O Israel, if you will listen to Me! 9 There shall be no foreign god among you; Nor shall you worship any foreign god.

10 I am the LORD your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11 “But My people would not heed My voice, And Israel would have none of Me. 12 So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, To walk in their own counsels.

13 “Oh, that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!

Who do you listen to?  THE GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH or some man or woman expounding an opinion?  What man spoke light into being?

It is also written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 111:

10  The Fear of the LORD is the beginning of Wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever.

Pursue the Fear of THE LORD instead of some person’s latest so-called revelation about life.  A “Dr.” or Ph.D. contained in a name does not guarantee revelation.  All Truth is in the midst of The Presence of THE LORD!

Walking in The Fear of THE LORD brings forth life!

Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 14:

26  In the Fear of the LORD there is strong confidence, And His children will have a place of refuge.

In the Presence of THE LORD, we have a place of refuge, a shelter, and security.  If FATHER is before us (and is for us), who can be against us!

27 The Fear of the LORD is a fountain of Life, To turn one away from the snares of death.

Said another way:

To worship God in wonder and awe opens a Fountain of Life within you, empowering you to escape death’s domain.

As you move toward the Presence of Our Heavenly Father, Life springs forth and prevails in you.  The opposite is also true.  If you distance yourself from HIM, spiritual blindness will begin to take over ultimately leading to death.  It is your decision.

Do you tremble at HIS Word?  Let not HIS Word be commonplace in your life for out of It is the wellspring of Life.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews 12:

18   For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest,

19 and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of Words, so that those who heard It begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore.

20 (For they could not endure what was commanded: “And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an arrow.”

21 And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I am exceedingly afraid and trembling.”)

Moses encountered the physical and was trembling, we should approach the Spiritual in the same manner in awe and respect.  During my morning prayer in 1995, FATHER spoke and said, “Do not use the word awesome unless you are referring to ME.”  I recommend that you heed that Word as well.  When we use a Word reserved for HIM for other reasons, we profane the Word.  We never are to express HIS Name in vain.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 5:

8 Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.

We are to read, study, and meditate on THE WORD which will cleanse our hearts.  We are to pursue HIS Holy Fire to purge our impurities and purify our hearts so that we can experience the Fear of THE LORD in Its greatest measure and still walk out our mission here on earth.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 12:

14  Pursue peace with all people, and Holiness, without which no one will see the Lord

15 looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled

Bitterness will keep you from walking in Holiness so do not allow yourself to hold a grudge.  Shake it off, forgive, and move on.  The world will hate us because we are like a spiritual mirror revealing their impending death and destruction.  Our mission is to convert them through Love if possible.

Walking in The Fear of THE LORD brings forth empowerment!

Does your mind constantly tell you that you are a victim based on the past?  Or, does it tell you constantly that you are still guilty because of past lawlessness?

These two mindsets prevent you from moving forward as a true overcomer.  The carnal mind will attempt to prevent you from ascending to a higher Spiritual state where you will be led by THE SPIRIT.  Until you overcome the victim/guilt of the past, you will have difficulty in operating in Agape Love, hope, and faith.  Your hope is where positive imagination resides which is the basis of faith.

Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 13:

12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.

What defers our hope?  It is retaining and focusing on the past which restricts our expectations of the future.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 7:

25  I give all my thanks to God, for His Mighty Power has finally provided a way out through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One! So if left to myself, the flesh is aligned with the law of sin, but now my renewed mind is fixed on and submitted to God’s Righteous principles.

8:1  So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One.

2 For the “law” of the Spirit of life flowing through the anointing of Jesus has liberated us from the “law” of sin and death.

We must choose to accept no accusing voice, whether internal or external!

Paul wrote By The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 4:

17  So with the Wisdom given to me from the Lord I say: You should not live like the unbelievers around you who walk in their empty delusions.

18 Their corrupted logic has been clouded because their hearts are so far from God—their blinded understanding and deep-seated moral darkness keeps them from the true knowledge of God.

We are now seeing many who are walking out their lives in the fullness of unbelief in ever-increasing numbers.

19 Because of spiritual apathy, they surrender their lives to lewdness, impurity, and sexual obsession.

20 But this is not the way of Life that Christ has unfolded within you.

21 If you have really experienced the Anointed One, and heard His Truth, It will be seen in your life; for we know that the ultimate reality is embodied in Jesus!

22 And He has taught you to let go of the lifestyle of the ancient man, the old self-life, which was corrupted by sinful and deceitful desires that spring from delusions. 23 Now it’s time to be made new by every revelation that’s been given to you. 24 And to be transformed as you embrace the glorious Christ-within as your new life and live in union with Him! For God has re-created you all over again in His perfect righteousness, and you now belong to Him in the realm of true Holiness.

As we walk in Agape Love, we will also walk in Holiness.  This will allow us to go through the door into the Presence of GOD.  No one can enter into HIS Presence in an unholy state.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 10:

7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the Door of the sheep.

8 All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.

9 I am the Door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have Life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

In other Words:

A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect —life in its fullness until you overflow!

Walking in The Fear of THE LORD requires us to be in unity with HIM!

Are you walking in full unity with FATHER’S Divine Intent?

Do you embrace HIS Commands are do you reluctantly submit?

If you and I are in full unity with FATHER’S Divine Intent, then we are in unity with each other.  This unity is illustrated by the 153 fish in John chapter 21 when Jesus spoke:

4  But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

5 Then Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any food?” They answered Him, “No.”

6 And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.

7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea.

8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fish.

9 Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.

10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”

11 Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken.

The number 153 is the numeric value of “Sons of GOD”.  It is also the number of gallons of wine served from the clay pots where Jesus performed His first miracle of turning water into wine.

Those 153 fish were in unity and were willing to be placed on the fire of coals (Holy Fire) to be fully prepared by Jesus.  The first and the last miracles in the Gospel of John (the Beloved Disciple) were focused on the Sons of GOD.

Jesus spoke of being in unity in Matthew chapter 18:

18  “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

19 “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in Heaven.

20 For where two or three are gathered together in My Name, I am there in the midst of them.“

Unity is required for there to be a corporate anointing and empowerment yet churches are filled with those who are determined to “do their own thing” and will not change (i.e., repent).  As you and I focus on The Fear of THE LORD, we will come into full unity with HIM and each other, and then, we will fulfill the Words of Jesus and open up the treasures of Heaven for true ministry on earth.  Christianity without the Supernatural is simply another religion.
