Walking in the fear of the Lord

4/6/06 Walking in the fear of the Lord
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. This fear is not like the fear of man or animal. This fear is to know God as Father who loves and protects. God desires to have fellowship with His children. To walk in the fear of the Lord is to live in His presence all the time. This is to walk in communion with Him, His Spirit with your spirit. The Holy Spirit in you enables you to walk in power. Power is the capacity to do what you cannot do in your own strength. God is the source of all knowledge and wisdom. Therefore when you walk in the spirit you have access to power that is unavailable outside the spirit. The spirit is eternal and therefore you have access to eternal power. The Kingdom of God is a Kingdom of power. If you lack power to do then you are not working in His power but in your own strength which is soulish. Soulish power is different from spirit power. Now when you choose to walk in the fear of the Lord you choose to walk in the power of His love. This is walking in the powerful presence of God. This is to walk like David when he faced Goliath. This is to be able to bring down every word and power that raises its head to counter your faith and trust in God. This is to be able to pull down every stronghold over your life. This is the power of God. Now go forth knowing that all the forces of heaven are for you and against the kingdom of darkness. No weapon formed against you will be able to prosper. The Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. No philosophy is able to stand against the power of God. God’s Word is the last word. Come Holy Spirit and empower me to walk in the fear of the Lord.
