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.
