When we truly walk in the Fear of THE LORD, we will become true disciples of Jesus and His commands!

Jesus may be your Savior, but is He truly your Lord?

Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 6:

46  “What good does it do for you to say I am your Lord and Master if you don’t put into practice what I teach you?

47 Let Me describe the one who truly follows Me and does what I say:

48 He is like a man who chooses the right place to build a house and then lays a deep and secure foundation. When the storms and floods rage against that house, it continues to stand strong and unshaken through the tempest, for he built it wisely on the right foundation.

49 But the one who has heard My teaching and does not obey it is like a man who builds a house without laying any foundation at all. When the storms and floods rage against that house, it will immediately collapse and become a total loss. Which of these two builders will you be? ”  TPT

If you haven’t yet, are you ready to make a full commitment to Him?  When I was young in The Lord, I was afraid of making a full commitment because I thought I would end up in Africa living in a hut as a missionary.  Little did I know at the time that each of us has a unique calling and attributes given to us for that calling.  FATHER’S great grace and mercy prevailed until I understood that HE was totally trustworthy and had my best interest at heart.  What an immature man I was!

Jesus further spoke in Luke chapter 14:

25  As massive crowds followed Jesus, He turned to them and said,

26 “When you follow Me as My disciple, you must put aside your father, your mother, your wife, your sisters, your brothers; it will even seem as though you hate your own life. This is the price you’ll pay to be considered one of My followers (disciples).

27 Anyone who comes to Me must be willing to share My cross and experience it as his own, or he cannot be considered to be My disciple.

28 So don’t follow Me without considering what it will cost you. For who would construct a house before first sitting down to estimate the cost to complete it?

29 Otherwise he may lay the foundation and not be able to finish. The neighbors will ridicule him, saying,

30 ‘Look at him! He started to build but couldn’t complete it!’

Do you want to disperse a “massive” crowd?  Jesus had no issue in challenging the masses concerning their full commitment to becoming one of His disciples.  Full and complete faith in Jesus pleases FATHER.

31 “Have you ever heard of a commander who goes out to war without first sitting down with strategic planning to determine the strength of his army to win the war against a stronger opponent?

32 If he knows he doesn’t stand a chance of winning the war, the wise commander will send out delegates to ask for the terms of peace.

33 Likewise, unless you surrender all to Me, giving up all you possess, you cannot be one of My disciples.

FATHER will tell you what you need to give up if you will only listen to The Holy Spirit and respond without delay.  I have had to learn to be immediate in my response… without over-analyzing it.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 25:

12  Who are those who fear the LORD? He will show them the path they should choose.

13 They will live in prosperity, and their children will inherit the land.

14 The LORD is a Friend to those who fear Him. He teaches them His Covenant.  NLT

FATHER always has our best interests at heart!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 2:

12 My beloved ones, just like you’ve always listened to everything I’ve taught you in the past, I’m asking you now to keep following my instructions as though I were right there with you. Now you must continue to make this new life fully manifested as you live in the Holy Awe of God—which brings you trembling into His Presence. TPT

Let us be true disciples of Jesus with fear and trembling!

When we truly walk in the Fear of THE LORD, we will be passionate and no longer be seen as lukewarm!

Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:

21 Those who truly Love Me are those who obey My commands. Whoever passionately Loves Me will be passionately Loved by My Father. And I will passionately Love him in return and will reveal Myself to him.”

23 Jesus replied, “Loving Me empowers you to obey My Word. And My Father will Love you so deeply that We will come to you and make you Our Dwelling Place.

If you are not passionate, you will slide into formality and lukewarmness.

12“I tell you this timeless Truth: The person who follows Me in faith, believing in Me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do—even greater miracles than these because I go to be with my Father!

13 For I will do whatever you ask Me to do when you ask Me in My Name. And that is how the Son will show what the Father is really like and bring glory to Him. 14 Ask Me anything in My Name, and I will do it for you!”

Jesus spoke in Revelation chapter 3:

14  Write the following to the messenger of the congregation in Laodicea, for these are the Words of the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Ruler of God’s creation:

Who better to reveal deception than Jesus!

15 I know all that you do, and I know that you are neither frozen in apathy nor fervent with passion. How I wish you were either one or the other!

16 But because you are neither cold nor hot, but lukewarm, I am about to spit you from My Mouth.

17 For you claim, “I’m rich and getting richer—I don’t need a thing.” Yet you are clueless that you’re miserable, poor, blind, barren, and naked!

A person who is walking in deception does not realize he or she is being deceived.  How do I know?  I have experienced this condition.  I allowed myself to listen to those who could logically use Scriptures to unlock what they claimed as mysteries hidden only to certain people who would embrace their logic.  Even though I had been baptized by The Holy Spirit and had heard FATHER’S Voice in the past, I succumbed to their false doctrines, though they seemed logical and reasonable at the time.  FATHER, in HIS Great Grace and Mercy, delivered me from the deception.  My wife never bought into the error being promoted.  Fortunately, I finally listened to her in the simplicity of what she was saying.  So much for my analytical mind!  She is a true “help meet”.

18 So I counsel you to purchase gold perfected by fire, so that you can be truly rich. Purchase a white garment to cover and clothe your shameful Adam-nakedness. Purchase eye salve to be placed over your eyes so that you can truly see.

19 All those I dearly Love I unmask and train. So repent and be eager to pursue what is right.

20 Behold, I’m standing at the door, knocking. If your heart is open to hear My Voice and you open the door within, I will come in to you and feast with you, and you will feast with Me.

21 And to the one who conquers I will give the privilege of sitting with Me on My Throne, just as I conquered and sat down with My Father on his throne.

22 The one whose heart is open let him listen carefully to what the Spirit is saying now to the churches.

If you have lost your passion, you need to do a “welfare check” and see what and who you are listening to.  As we move toward the Refining Fire, we will walk in a passion that comes from FATHER’S Heart!

When we walk in the Fear of THE LORD, angels are activated FOR us so that we walk in the empowerment of The Word!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 1:

14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?

Angels only act in accordance with FATHER’S Word, not our opinions apart from HIS Word.  That is why it is vital to keep immersed in The Word.  If you are seeking to walk in accordance with HIS Word even though you are not totally there yet, angels will still protect you from certain death.

In 2012, I was riding my bike on a known bike trail that crossed a four-lane street.  I was wearing a banana-yellow jersey and a helmet.  I stopped and waited for the light so that I could ride across in the pedestrian crosswalk.  A van sped toward me and paid no attention to what was about to happen.  An angel pulled me off the bike and away from the van.  The van ran over the bike and finally stopped after about 40 feet after hitting the bike.  I was spared but the bike wasn’t, it was found underneath the van.  The event is seared into my memory.  FATHER’S great grace and mercy are what saved me, not my performance.  I am no more special than anyone else who Loves HIM!  The angel acted on my behalf.  This was my fourth near-death encounter.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm 91:

11   God sends angels with special orders to protect you wherever you go, defending you from all harm.

12 If you walk into a trap, they’ll be there for you and keep you from stumbling.

13 You’ll even walk unharmed among the fiercest powers of darkness, trampling every one of them beneath your feet!

14 For here is what the Lord has spoken to me: “Because you Loved Me, delighted in Me, and have been loyal to My Name, I will greatly protect you.

15 I will answer your cry for help every time you pray, and you will feel My Presence in your time of trouble. I will deliver you and bring you honor.

16 I will satisfy you with a full life and with all that I do for you. For you will enjoy the fullness of My salvation!”

Do you Love FATHER and delight in HIM?  Are you loyal to HIS Name?  Those of us who answer “Yes” to these questions, qualify for HIS angels to be dispatched on assignment to keep us from mortal danger.

It is recorded by THE SPIRIT in Joshua chapter 5:

10  Now the children of Israel camped in Gilgal, and kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight on the plains of Jericho.

11 And they ate of the produce of the land on the day after the Passover, unleavened bread and parched grain, on the very same day.

12 Then the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land; and the children of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate the food of the land of Canaan that year.

13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, “Are You for us or for our adversaries?”

14 So He said, “No, but as Commander of the army of the LORD I have now come.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, “What does my Lord say to His servant?”

15 Then the Commander of the LORD’s army said to Joshua, “Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is Holy.” And Joshua did so.

Jesus, Himself appeared before Joshua to lead them into the Promised Land.  If it had been an angel, there would have been no need to respond to such a Holy Presence.  Joshua had a history of honoring FATHER in all aspects of his life.  He held on to walking in faith that he and Caleb would enter the Promised Land, even after forty years.  Let us be as tenacious, knowing that if needed, Jesus and/or His angels will manifest on our behalf!

If we will walk in the Fear of THE LORD, we will surrender all that is not of HIM!

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Isaiah chapter 6:

1  In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a Throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the Temple.

2 Above It stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two He covered His Face, with two He covered His Feet, and with two He flew.

3 And one cried to another and said: “Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!”

4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.

5 So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The LORD of hosts.”

When you fully encounter the Fear of THE LORD, your unrighteousness is fully exposed, and know that you cannot justify yourself in any manner.  Your self-centeredness rises to the top for all to see.  How do I know?  My own unrighteousness was exposed which resulted in my repentance.  When our eyes are opened by The Word, whether spoken or written, we become undone in those areas needing to be purged.

6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar.

7 And he touched my mouth with it, and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged.”

8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”

Once we are fully purged, we are no longer reluctant to avail ourselves of our true calling given to us when HE formed us in the womb.  Peace floods our being and we are no longer concerned about what is being promoted by the world.

9 And He said, “Go, and tell this people: ‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand; Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’

10 “Make the heart of this people dull, And their ears heavy, And shut their eyes; Lest they see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And return and be healed.”

There are many who will not respond to the call for repentance because of their entrenched blindness.  Great sorrow is coming once they realize the error of their ways.  Once your eyes are opened, you are utterly amazed at the obvious error you once walked in.  Pride and arrogance are like scales over the eyes.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 5:

6  For when the time was right, the Anointed One came and died to demonstrate His Love for sinners who were entirely helpless, weak, and powerless to save themselves.

7 Now, would anyone dare to die for the sake of a wicked person? We can all understand if someone was willing to die for a truly noble person.

8 But Christ proved God’s passionate Love for us by dying in our place while we were still lost and ungodly!

9 And there is still much more to say of his unfailing Love for us! For through the blood of Jesus we have heard the powerful declaration, “You are now righteous in My sight.” And because of the sacrifice of Jesus, you will never experience the wrath of God.

10 So if while we were still enemies, God fully reconciled us to Himself through the death of His Son, then something greater than friendship is ours. Now that we are at peace with God, and because we share in His resurrection life, how much more we will be rescued from sin’s dominion!

11 And even more than that, we overflow with triumphant joy in our new relationship of living reconciled to God—all because of Jesus Christ!

Once you truly understand that Jesus Christ IS THE ANSWER, you will repent and become transparent so that all unholiness can be purged from your life.  The result will be unconditional Love for us and you will walk with joy in your heart and in The Fear of THE LORD!

If we will walk in the Fear of THE LORD, we will gain Spiritual understanding & revelation!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:

9   For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His Will in all Wisdom and Spiritual understanding;

And what is the anticipated result of Paul’s prayer?

10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;

11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;

12 giving thanks to the Father Who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.

It is FATHER WHO qualified us to be partakers of HIS inheritance.  When did HE determine to select you and me?  Before HE formed us in the womb.  However, we have to agree to HIS selection because HE gave us free will to determine our individual paths.

16 For by Him all things were created that are in Heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.

The critical Words in the above passage are by, through, and for.  HIS Intent is clearly stated concerning all of creation and who are the ones intended to have dominion over creation:  you and me!

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Job chapter 28:

12  “But where can Wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?

13 Man does not know its value, Nor is it found in the land of the living.

14 The deep says, ‘It is not in me’; And the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’

15 It cannot be purchased for gold, Nor can silver be weighed for its price.

16 It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, In precious onyx or sapphire.

17 Neither gold nor crystal can equal it, Nor can it be exchanged for jewelry of fine gold.

18 No mention shall be made of coral or quartz, For the price of wisdom is above rubies.

19 The topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it, Nor can it be valued in pure gold.

20 “From where then does wisdom come? And where is the place of understanding?

21 It is hidden from the eyes of all living, And concealed from the birds of the air. 22 Destruction and Death say, ‘We have heard a report about it with our ears.’

23 God understands its way, And He knows its place.

24 For He looks to the ends of the earth, And sees under the whole heavens,

25 To establish a weight for the wind, And apportion the waters by measure.

26 When He made a law for the rain, And a path for the thunderbolt,

27 Then He saw wisdom and declared it; He prepared it, indeed, He searched it out.

28 And to man He said, ‘Behold, the Fear of the Lord, that is Wisdom, And to depart from evil is understanding.'”

Men seek understanding from observation of creation but most fail to comprehend the Source.  They lack Wisdom to discern the Source of understanding so their knowledge is always lacking and frustrating.  As we focus our attention on walking in The Fear of THE LORD, we will gain a higher level of Wisdom and understanding to navigate through this physical life and be partakers of HIS Divine Nature.

The Fear of THE LORD is available to all who diligently seek HIM!

It 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.

If you truly want to walk in Wisdom, you must walk in the Fear of THE LORD, period!

In about 1995, I was busy writing a program and the anointing (HIS Presence) came upon me and HE spoke, “Look at the clock on the wall.”  When I turned around and looked, it was precisely 1:11 and 11 seconds.  HE spoke again, “I bring My anointing exactly as I please.”  He spoke at 1:11 and 10 seconds.  I responded immediately at 11 seconds.  This passage is key to our full understanding!  The anointing left and I went back to work.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 11:

6  But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

There are two separate aspects of developing our faith.  We must believe that “HE IS”.  Only those who are blind and unable to comprehend the most rudimentary aspects of the universe and life on earth, do not believe in a Supreme Being we know as THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.

In the beginning, THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY created:

The earth spins at the rate of about 1,000 miles per hour.

The earth revolves perfectly around the sun (93 million miles away) at about 67,000 miles per hour with a perfectly designed tilt.  Any closer, and we would burn up.  Any further away, the earth would freeze.  This is no accident or randomness in the design.

Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 18:

7  Don’t you know that God, the True Judge, will grant justice to all His chosen ones who cry out to Him night and day? He will pour out his Spirit upon them. He will not delay to answer you and give you what you ask for.

8 God will give swift justice to those who don’t give up. So be ever praying, ever expecting, in the same way as the widow. Even so, when the Son of Man comes back, will he find this kind of undying faith on earth?”

When we walk in faith, our commitment is observable in our actions.

Faith leads us down the straight and narrow lighted path because we pursue Holiness.  Those who take this path can hear The Holy Spirit in a more sensitive manner.

The Beloved Disciple wrote in 1^st John chapter 1:

5  This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the Truth.

7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

As more of us walk in The Fear of THE LORD, we will walk in unity with each other, and we will be totally trustworthy.

It could get ugly soon! The only true solution to this broken world is spiritual in nature. We must place priority on renewing our minds so that if and when something notable and negative happens, we will not be moved.

I have been led to read The Bible cover to cover again. As we gain greater revelation, Scripture takes on a greater understanding than in past times.

Walking in The Fear of THE LORD is the essence of Spirit and Life!

Jesus spoke in John chapter 6:

63 It is the Spirit who gives Life; the flesh profits nothing. The Words that I speak to you are Spirit, and they are Life.

We should honor and give deep reverence to Our Heavenly Father as Jesus did.  He only spoke the Words given to Him by FATHER.  How much more reverence can you walk in?  Jesus is our Example of walking in the essence of Spirit and Life! 

Where did FATHER’S Words originate?  They came from the midst of HIM and cannot be separated from HIS Life and Spirit.

Jesus spoke in Matthew 7:

24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a Wise man who built his house on the rock:

25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:

27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

Jesus came to reveal FATHER in all HIS facets.  Both Love and justice are included.  We must focus on the long term rather than the short term.

Jesus also spoke in John chapter 12:

44  Then Jesus cried out and said, “He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me.

45 And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.

46 I have come as a Light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.

47 And if anyone hears My Words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

48 He who rejects Me, and does not receive My Words, has that which judges him-the Word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.

49 For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father Who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.

50 And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.”

The closer you are to FATHER, the better you hear.  Moses heard HIM in the midst of the Holy Fire.  This is where you find the secrets of HIS Kingdom.  This is also where we truly learn how to live, not just survive.

Are you doing what Jesus taught or are you simply acknowledging His directives without doing them?  If revelation remains passive in your life, then what is the point of obtaining it?  If Jesus tells you to do something, it is your best opportunity for today.  Obedience brings forth blessing and prosperity!

Prosperity has more to do about authority and dominion than it does with giving.  FATHER will lead us into dominion and authority resulting in blessing which allows us to give to those in need.  Our primary focus must be to walk in The Fear of THE LORD first.

A Word sent to me:

I call you to blaze with Holy Fire.

Beloved, do not resist My Fire. Though it burns and consumes, yield to its power, for I am a zealous God. Many who have resisted My Fire will fall away in the coming days. Have I not said that My priests are a blazing fire? Even so, you must first invite the flames of purification and embrace the fires of Holiness. Then I will send you out as a flame to consume the hearts of men.

Do not quench the Spirit’s fire or resist the power and gifts that I give you. As you walk with Me and partner with Me, My Spirit Fire will conquer cities and bring them to the feet of My Son. The lame will walk, and the blind will see. This unreserved unity with Me, despite the cost, will radically alter your life, and, in turn, the lives of all with whom you come into contact. Expect Me to change your heart, and then you will witness changes, even in your family. You have not yet seen what I will do with a generation that burns wholly for me.

Luke 11:35–36

“Open your heart and consider My Words. Watch out that you do not mistake your opinions for revelation-light! If your spirit burns with light, fully illuminated with no trace of darkness, you will be a shining lamp, reflecting rays of Truth by the way you live.”
