The Fear of THE LORD: Part 23

Tuesday, March 21st, 2023

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!

The Fear of THE LORD: Part 22

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!

The Fear of THE LORD: Part 21

Saturday, March 18th, 2023

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: Part 20

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 1st 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.

Banking Situation

Thursday, March 16th, 2023

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.

The Fear of THE LORD: Part 19

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.

The Fear of THE LORD: Part 18

Tuesday, March 14th, 2023

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.”

The Fear of THE LORD: Part 17

Monday, March 13th, 2023

Walking in The Fear of THE LORD brings forth Holy Fire and HIS Judgments!

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 25:

12  Who are they that live in the Holy Fear of Yahweh? You will show them the right path to take.

13 Then prosperity and favor will be their portion, and their descendants will inherit the earth.

14 There’s a private place reserved for the devoted Lovers of Yahweh, where they sit near Him and receive the revelation-Secrets of His promises.

15 Rescue me, Yahweh, for you free my feet from every trap.

We should seek HIS Holy Fire to burn out any and all impurities in our lives.  Why?  This prepares us to be fully reliable and accountable to receive the revelation-secrets reserved for those who are in full unity with HIM.

Would you trust someone with your deepest secrets who is not 100% trustworthy?  Someone who might expose those secrets because they want to exploit or manipulate you for self-serving reasons?

FATHER reserves HIS Secrets for those HE can trust.  Be assured, HE knows our hearts better than ourselves.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 1:

27   Whatever happens, keep living your lives based on the reality of the Gospel of Christ. Then when I come to see you, or hear good reports of you, I’ll know that you stand united in one Spirit and one passion—celebrating together as conquerors in the faith of the Gospel.

28 And then you will never be shaken or intimidated by the opposition that rises up against us. Your courage will prove to be a sure sign from God of their coming destruction.

29 For God has graciously given you the privilege not only to believe in Christ, but also to suffer for Him.

30 For you have been called by Him to endure the conflict in the same way I have endured it—for you know I’m not giving up.

When we live our lives based on the reality of the Gospel of Christ and stand united in one SPIRIT, we will be the sure sign of the world’s coming destruction.  How do we become one in THE SPIRIT?  It is by moving toward and walking in the Fear of THE LORD thus allowing HIM to bring forth HIS Holy Fire.  What is the result?  We stand united in one Spirit and one passion.

We need to embrace judgment for it will bring us closer to the Fear of THE LORD.  The flesh wants no impact from judgment, but as I allow FATHER to expose all my impurities, I know HIS Love will correct me in those areas.

Jesus spoke in Revelation chapter 3:

14  “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:

15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.

16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’-and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked

18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the Fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.

19 As many as I Love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.

20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My Voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My Throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His Throne.

Jesus spoke forth judgments to the seven churches at the time of John’s later life.  These judgments are just as applicable today as they were in the first century.  The Laodiceans remind me of the majority of the churches today here in the U.S.  They have their programs, stages, loud music, lights, smoke machines, etc.  They think they have need of nothing!  How wrong they are.

What is the solution?  “FATHER bring forth the Holy Fire that we may be refined as pure gold.”  When this refinement occurs, the fake and blindness will be revealed.

The Fear of THE LORD: Part 16

Sunday, March 12th, 2023

Walking in The Fear of THE LORD keeps us from being adversely affected by the perilous times ahead and their deceptions!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Timothy chapter 3:

1   But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:

2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,

4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than Lovers of God,

5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,

7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the Truth.

8 Now as Jannes (meaning “he vexed”) and Jambres (meaning “foamy healer”) resisted Moses, so do these also resist the Truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith;

9 but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.

When men are lovers of themselves which results in self-centeredness, they become lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, and unholy.  They become legends in their own minds

Jannes and Jannes, were two Egyptian magicians who in the presence of Pharaoh imitated the miracles of Aaron in order to destroy his influence with the king. Paul derived their names from the tradition of the Talmudists and the Rabbins.

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Exodus chapter 7:

8  Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

9 “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Show a miracle for yourselves,’ then you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your rod and cast it before Pharaoh, and let it become a serpent.'”

10 So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, just as the LORD commanded. And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.

11 But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt (Jannes and Jannes), they also did in like manner with their enchantments.

12 For every man threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.

Do not be deceived by signs and wonders initiated by the adversary and his followers.  Know that FATHER will ultimately deal with them through you as you walk in The Fear of THE LORD.  Don’t fear their incantations or spells for they have no power over the true believer.

As you proceed down the list describing the end times, you can mark off each for they are all happening now, without exception.  It is vital that we pursue Holiness and the manifestation of The Fear of The Lord in our lives.

We need to be united, stable, and immovable in these times.  I have never seen such division as is happening in these times.  Only those who do walk in Holiness and The Fear of The Lord will be in full unity with FATHER.

How confident are you in your faith?  Jesus will return to judge the world and calls us to be faithful.  In the last days, times of difficulty will come and they have already arrived.  When the pandemic arrived, the church overall, was weak and unprepared.  Fear gripped the hearts of many.  Churches closed their doors rather than being known as a source of health and healing.  Does Jesus fear any virus or its variants?  Leprosy was no issue to Him.

Evil men and sorcerers will progress from bad to worse, deceived and deceiving, as they lead people further from the Truth.  Yet we must continue to advance in strength with the Truth wrapped around our hearts, being assured by God that He’s the One Who has truly taught us all these things.  HE has transmitted His very Substance into every Scripture, for it is God-breathed. It will empower you by Its instruction and correction, giving you the strength to take the right direction and lead you deeper into the path of Godliness.  Then we will be God’s servants, fully mature and perfectly prepared to fulfill any assignment God gives us.
