“And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the FEAR of the LORD”—Isaiah 11: 2

The spirit of the fear of God, is the spirit of Holy fear. It is the spirit of good fear. There are devilish fears- which the Lord commands us not to fear: such as the fear of death, sickness, diseases, poverty, devil, witches and wizards, etc…

But on the other right side of fear, there is a kind of fear which the Lord demands of us as his children. And it is the reverential fear of him in everything we do. It can also be explained to mean, respectful fear. That is, you always giving great regard to his position and his feeling in everything you do…

Before you do anything or you are already in the process of doing anything- and you remember God’s position on what you’re doing- as you discover it will offend him, you quickly refrain from it. And on the other hand, if you discover that your doing it will make him happy, you go ahead to do it.

So in other words, the spirit of the fear of God, is the spirit of Holiness; because the scripture says in Proverbs 16:6 that; “By the fear of God men depart from evil.”

And God passionately demands and desires this Holy fear from us (Deuteronomy 5:29). But for us to fear God as he demands and desires of us, we need the empowerment of[b] “The Spirit of the Fear of God.”[/b]

Because as a human, it is difficult and almost impossible to fear God that you cannot see with your physical eyes. And that is why Jesus said; “without me you can do nothing” (John 15:5) - and he also says; “with men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible” –Mark 10: 27.

So What Are The Benefits Of The Fear Of God

So why does God want us to fear him? God does not expect you to do anything for nothing according to Job 1:8-9.
When we live continually in the fear of God, we enjoy the following benefits amongst so many others…

1. Supernatural Wisdom (Prov. 1:7, Job 28:12-17; Job 28:28)
2. Wealth and Riches (Ps. 112:1-3; Job 22:23-25; Prov. 22:4-5)
3. All-Round supernatural protection (Job 1:9-10)
4. Trans-Generational blessings (Deut 5:29)
5. Supernatural Enthronement or lifting (Gen 39:8-9; Dan 1:
6. Length of days or longevity of life (Prov 10:27)

How Then Do I Continually Live In The Fear Of God?
Having known and understood all these benefits that accrue the fear of God, how can someone continually live in the fear of God all his life?
1. Thirst for the spirit of the fear of God (Matt 5:6; John 7:37)
2. Ask or pray for the spirit of the fear of God daily (Jer 32:40)
3. Through daily word study and meditation (Deut 4:10)
4. Through consistent fasting and prayers (58: 6,
5. By lovely Rebuke of sin (Eph 5:10-11; Eph 5:13)

I have and still pass through the above steps to receive the spirit of the fear of God. And on one particular occasion, as I studied my bible, I received this spirit as a special anointing from God (and when that happened, I had a strong, tangible knowing in my spirit). And I treasure it as one of my best spiritual gifts.

And that is why I know that if you will open your heart today, and desire this gift from God, God will give it to you as soon as possible in the name of Jesus Christ!
