\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n

As I was spending time in meditation before the Lord, the Holy\r\nSpirit began downloading revelation concerning the Spirit of Knowledge and the\r\nFear of the Lord, so that\u2019s where we\u2019re going with today\u2019s discussion.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Perhaps\r\nwe can come back again to the Spirit of Counsel and Might in another study\r\nsession.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

For\r\nreference\u2019 sake, here again is a list of the Seven Spirits of God \u2013 all of\r\nwhich are a part of the central character and makeup of the Lord Jesus Christ \u2013\r\nLOVE!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nSpirit of Judgment & Burning <\/span><\/b>(Isaiah 4:4)<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nSpirit of Wisdom &Understanding <\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>(Isaiah 11:1-5)<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nSpirit of Counsel and Might\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/b>(Isaiah 11:1-5)<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nSpirit of Knowledge and the Fear of the Lord\u00a0\r\n<\/span><\/span><\/b>(Isaiah\r\n11:1-5)<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nSpirit of Grace &Supplications\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/b>(Zechariah 12:10)<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nSpirit of Truth <\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>(John 15:26)<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nSpirit of Glory\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/b>(I Peter 4:14)<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Let\u2019s\r\nbegin by reviewing Isaiah\u2019s prophecy (chapter 11).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0Isaiah 11:2-9<\/span><\/u>:\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span>2<\/span><\/sup>And\r\nthe spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and\r\nunderstanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of\r\nthe fear of the LORD;<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

3<\/span><\/sup>And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the\r\nLORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after\r\nthe hearing of his ears: <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

4<\/span><\/sup>But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with\r\nequity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of\r\nhis mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

5<\/span><\/sup>And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and\r\nfaithfulness the girdle of his reins. <\/span>6<\/span><\/sup>The\r\nwolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the\r\nkid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little\r\nchild shall lead them. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

7<\/span><\/sup>And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie\r\ndown together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

8<\/span><\/sup>And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the\r\nweaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice\u2019 den. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

9<\/span><\/sup>They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the\r\nearth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Ever\r\nnotice how the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding precedes the Spirit of\r\nKnowledge and the Fear of the Lord?\u00a0 <\/span>Do\r\nyou see the Spirit of Counsel and Might preceding the Spirit of Knowledge and\r\nthe Fear of the Lord?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

There\r\nis an order in God\u2019s economy that the body of Christ often misses.\u00a0 <\/span>It is always tantalizing to get new\r\nknowledge.\u00a0 <\/span>Our flesh \u2013 programmed by the\r\nDNA of sin and thousands of years of tradition and practice \u2013 loves \u201cinformation\u201d\r\nand \u201cknowledge\u201d; and those are what Adam and Eve traded the presence of the\r\nLord for in order to receive \u201cthe knowledge of good and evil.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Adam\r\nand Eve traded \u201cThe Fear of the Lord\u201d for the knowledge of evil; and that\r\nbrought them the Fear of Evil instead.\u00a0\r\n<\/span>As we have already noted in previous discussions, the Fear of Evil is a\r\nwrong fear of the Lord God.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nFear of Evil brings a perception of God as being a vengeful personality Who\r\njust can\u2019t wait to bring His hammer down on those who sin.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nFear of Evil brings religion and religious practices \u2013 all of which are driven\r\nby a conscious (or sub-conscious) need to please God by the \u201cdoing of things\u201d\r\nand keeping certain laws, commandments and precepts.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nFear of Evil creates a performance-based relationship with God that measures\r\nour standing with God only in negative terms.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nSpirit of Knowledge and the Fear of the Lord link these two things together in\r\ninextricable fashion.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Knowledge\r\nwhich comes by revelation from the Lord is based in a proper relationship with\r\nHim. The Fear of the Lord is an awe and\r\nastonishment AND a holy respect of who and what He is.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Sadly\r\nthere are many believers whose relationship with the Lord is still based in\r\nperformance rather than relationship.\u00a0 <\/span>In\r\na performance environment it becomes easier to obey certain commands and\r\nadmonitions in the Word, and just as easy to ignore others that one chooses to\r\nset aside.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In\r\na performance-based environment, our priorities really get messed up \u2013 and\r\nthere are a number of really screwy doctrines that have permeated the Body of\r\nChrist as a result.\u00a0 <\/span>To the reasoning\r\nperson and the \u201crational mind\u201d these doctrines sound right and good, but it is\r\nthe fruit that comes from the observance of them that is the proof of their\r\nerror.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Go\r\nback to Isaiah\u2019s prophecy again and consider the whole picture.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

What\r\nhappens when the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding, the Spirit of Counsel and\r\nMight AND the Spirit of Knowledge and the Fear of the Lord work together,\r\nprioritized in that order?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

[They] shall make him of quick understanding in the Fear of the\r\nLord.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Now\r\nthere\u2019s a statement where the KJV completely misses it translation-wise.\u00a0 <\/span>The Hebrew reads like this:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cAnd [He] is made to breathe in (and\r\nbreathe out) the awe and reverence of [God] Yowd He Vav He.\u201d<\/span>(RAC Translation\r\n& Amplification)<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

We\u2019re\r\ntalking about a lifestyle here, folks!\u00a0\r\n<\/span>\u201cBreathing in and breathing out\u201d is how we live.\u00a0 <\/span>If our entire living is predicated on the awe\r\nand reverence of the Lord, it won\u2019t take long for the way we behave, the way we\r\nthink and the way we speak to be properly ordered.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

He shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove\r\nafter the hearing of his ears.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Let\u2019s\r\nlook at this in the Hebrew as well.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cHe shall not pass sentence according\r\nto the outward appearance of an individual or a matter, nor will he argue and\r\njustify and convict according to or because of what he hears with his ears.\u201d<\/span>(RAC Translation\r\n& Amplification)<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

When\r\none operates in and lives in\/with the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding, the\r\nSpirit of Counsel and Might, and the Spirit of Knowledge and the Fear of the\r\nLord, the wisdom and revelation that come by and through the Spirit overshadow\r\nand take precedence over that which we see with our natural eyes and that which\r\nwe hear with our natural ears.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Instead\r\nwe make judgments according to what the Holy Spirit is saying.\u00a0 <\/span>Human perception and judgment have no place\r\nwhatever when we receive the kind of knowledge that comes by and through the\r\nSpirit of the Lord.\u00a0 <\/span>That knowledge is\r\npure, and it is peaceable.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with\r\nequity for the meek of the earth.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Here\u2019s\r\nmy reading from the Hebrew text.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cBut with rightness and prosperity\r\nwill he sentence (or vindicate) the weak and needy, and decide for (or against)\r\n\u2013 using straightness, justice and a level playing field \u2013 those who are the\r\ndepressed in mind or circumstances of the earth.\u201d<\/span>(RAC Translation &\r\nAmplification)<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Once\r\nagain, that\u2019s hard to do when one\u2019s reference is humanly-acquired knowledge or\r\nunderstanding concerning a situation.\u00a0\r\n<\/span>This is where the Spirit of Knowledge works hand-in-hand with the Fear\r\nof the Lord, and the Spirit of Truth.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Revelation\r\nknowledge (epignosis<\/span><\/i><\/b>in the\r\nGreek) working in conjunction with that awe of the Lord \u2013 awe of His power, His\r\nauthority, His grace and His love \u2013 gives us the ability to make right\r\njudgments and act to vindicate the downtrodden and the oppressed in a righteous\r\nmanner.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

He shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the\r\nbreath of his lips slay the wicked<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

When\r\nwe see this statement, \u201cHe shall smite the earth,\u201d the Hebrew \u2018erets<\/span><\/i><\/b> literally describes the earth\r\nitself \u2013 the producing ground for agriculture, for cattle, sheep, goats, etc.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

This\r\nprophecy declares, therefore:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cHe shall strike the producing\r\nground, the planted fields, orchards and vineyards, and the grazing fields with\r\nthe sword of his mouth [the Word], and with the very wind produced by the words\r\nof judgment he articulates, he will kill and destroy those who do wickedly [and\r\ncommit acts which violate the Word of God].\u201d<\/span>(RAC Translation & Amplification)<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Now\r\nwe see the Spirit of Judgment and Burning working hand-in-hand with the Spirit\r\nof Knowledge and the Fear of the Lord.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n\u00a0 <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

By\r\nnow we can see that none of the Seven Spirits of God work independently of each\r\nother.\u00a0 <\/span>They work in harmony.\u00a0 <\/span>There is a flow and a consistency with which\r\nthese Spirits operate, and they all demonstrate the agape<\/span><\/i><\/b> love of God.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness\r\nthe girdle of his reins.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Each\r\ntime we see this word \u201crighteousness\u201d occurring in Isaiah\u2019s prophecy, the\r\nHebrew wordtsedeq<\/span><\/i><\/b>is used.\u00a0 <\/span>As a matter of quick reference, this is the\r\nword which appears in Genesis 14 when the King of Salem comes out to greet\r\nAbraham as he is returning from the slaughter of the kings.\u00a0 <\/span>We see the word as the conjunctive title, Malchiy \u2013 Tsedeq<\/span><\/i><\/b>, in the Hebrew, and\r\nMelchizedek in English.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

We\r\nrefer to the King of Salem (Shem) by his title with the rather generic\r\ninterpretation of \u201cKing of Righteousness\u201d but this word tsedeq<\/span><\/i><\/b> also represents \u201crightness\u201d in a\r\nmoral, physical, ethical and legal sense; and by extension, \u201cprosperity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

With\r\nthat in mind, we can look at #5 and read it like this:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cRightness, equity, justice and\r\nprosperity shall be the belt of protection which ensures his ability to\r\nreproduce, and faith (and faithfulness), firmness, security and fidelity in\r\nstability will be the belt of protection which sustains his strength and fortitude.\u201d<\/span>(RAC Translation\r\n& Amplification)<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nnext three verses of Isaiah 11 (6, 7, 8) all draw a picture of what results\r\nmanifest themselves as a result of the Seven Spirits of God in harmonious\r\noperation and synchronicity together.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Instead\r\nof would-be predators preying on the weak, the wolf lives side-by-side with the\r\nlamb, the leopard lies down with the baby goat (kid), the calf, the young lion\r\nand the full-grown cow will eat together (and not of each other) \u2013 and to top\r\nit all off, a little child will be able to lead them (and play with them).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n\u00a0 <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Cows\r\nand bears will eat together and their young will sleep peacefully\r\nside-by-side.\u00a0 <\/span>Lions will be transformed\r\nfrom carnivorous creatures to herb-eating.\u00a0\r\n<\/span>And the picture continues.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

A\r\nnursing baby will be able to lie down on the hole in the ground marking the\r\nhome of a deadly snake, and a young child will be able to place his hand on the\r\nden of a poisonous viper.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Finally\r\nwe have this picture.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the\r\nearth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

What\r\ndid Isaiah just say?\u00a0 <\/span>There will be no\r\nturning of \u201cnormally\u201d antagonistic creatures against one another, and people\r\nwill be completely and totally safe in the presence of former predators.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

How\r\nis that possible?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cAll the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord,\u201d<\/span> and that\u2019s because\r\nthe Spirit of Knowledge and the Fear of the Lord have functioned with complete\r\nauthority and power in the earth, with the cooperation and harmonious working\r\nof the other six Spirits of God!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

We\r\nhaven\u2019t talked yet about Solomon or the fact that he was considered the wisest\r\nman that ever lived.\u00a0 <\/span>Let\u2019s consider what\r\nhe prayed to the Lord when he took the throne of Israel.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

II Chronicles 1:10-12<\/span><\/u><\/b>:\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>Give me now wisdom\r\nand knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can\r\njudge this thy people, that is so<\/i> great?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and\r\nthou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies,\r\nneither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for\r\nthyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\u00a0<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/sup><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Wisdom and knowledge is<\/i> granted unto thee; and I will\r\ngive thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had\r\nthat have been<\/i> before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the\r\nlike.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Solomon,\r\nindeed, did not lack in knowledge or wisdom.\u00a0\r\n<\/span>Think about how this relates to the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding.\u00a0 <\/span>Consider what he wrote in the Proverbs.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Proverbs 1:1-7<\/span><\/u><\/b>:\u00a0\r\n<\/span><\/span>The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; To\r\nknow wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding<\/u>;<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and\r\nequity; To give subtlety to the simple, to the young man knowledge and\r\ndiscretion<\/span><\/u>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

A wise man<\/i> will hear, and will increase learning; and a\r\nman of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: To understand a proverb,\r\nand the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The fear of the LORD is<\/i> the beginning of knowledge<\/span><\/u>:\r\nbut<\/i> fools despise wisdom and instruction.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

And\r\nagain we have the following.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Proverbs 2:1-11<\/span><\/u><\/b>:\u00a0\r\n<\/span><\/span>My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments\r\nwith thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and<\/i> apply thine\r\nheart to understanding;<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and<\/i>liftest up thy\r\nvoice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her\r\nas for<\/i> hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the\r\nLORD, and find the knowledge of God<\/u>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\u00a0<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/sup><\/p>\r\n\r\n

For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh<\/i>\r\nknowledge and understanding.<\/span><\/u>He layeth up sound\r\nwisdom for the righteous: he is<\/i> a buckler to them that walk uprightly.\r\nHe keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\u00a0<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/sup><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and\r\nequity;yea<\/i>, every good path.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant\r\nunto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee<\/span><\/u>:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

And\r\nagain:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Proverbs 3:17-20<\/span><\/u><\/b>:\u00a0\r\n<\/span><\/span>Her [Wisdom and Understanding] are<\/i> ways of pleasantness,\r\nand all her paths are<\/i> peace. She is<\/i> a tree of life to them that\r\nlay hold upon her: and happy is every one<\/i> that retaineth her.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath\r\nhe established the heavens.\u00a0 <\/span>By his\r\nknowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew<\/span><\/u>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

And\r\nwe continue:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Proverbs 5:1-2<\/span><\/u><\/b>:\u00a0\r\n<\/span><\/span>My son, attend unto my wisdom, and<\/i> bow thine ear to my\r\nunderstanding:<\/span><\/u><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\u00a0<\/span><\/u><\/o:p><\/span><\/sup><\/u><\/p>\r\n\r\n

That thou mayest regard discretion, and that<\/i> thy lips may\r\nkeep knowledge<\/span><\/u>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

There\u2019s\r\nstill a lot more.\u00a0 <\/span>Take a look at these\r\nreferences to the fear of the Lord.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Proverbs 19:23<\/span><\/u><\/b>:\u00a0\r\n<\/span><\/span>The fear of the LORD tendeth<\/i> to life<\/span><\/u>:\r\nand he that hath it<\/i> shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with\r\nevil.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Proverbs 22:4<\/span><\/u><\/b>:\u00a0\r\n<\/span><\/span>By humility and<\/i> th<\/span><\/u>e fear of the LORD\r\nare<\/i> riches, and honour, and life<\/u>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Proverbs 23:17<\/span><\/u><\/b>:\u00a0\r\n<\/span><\/span>Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou<\/u><\/i>\r\nin the fear of the LORD all the day long<\/u>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Isaiah 33:6<\/span><\/u><\/b>:\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>And\r\nwisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and<\/i> strength\r\nof salvation: the fear of the LORD is<\/i> his treasure<\/span><\/u>.\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Acts 9:33<\/span><\/u><\/b>:\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>Then\r\nhad the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were\r\nedified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy\r\nGhost, were multiplied<\/u>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

We\u2019ve\r\ngone through a fistful of scriptures to illustrate the importance of the Spirit\r\nof Knowledge and the Fear of the Lord.\u00a0\r\n<\/span>As is clear from these references, the two spirits are intertwined with\r\none another.\u00a0 <\/span>Both function in\r\ncooperation and conjunction with each other.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

I\r\ncannot stress enough the connection between the way all of the Seven Spirits of\r\nGod interconnect and work with each other.\u00a0\r\n<\/span>Let\u2019s go back to the beginning for a minute.\u00a0 <\/span>None of the operation of the six Spirits of\r\nGod, beginning with the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding, followed by the\r\nSpirit of Counsel and Might, and so forth could become operational in any believer\r\nwithout his or her first submitting to the Spirit of Judgment and Burning.\u00a0 <\/span>The cleansing and purification that occurs\r\nwhen we submit to God\u2019s righteous judgment and the fire of His correction sets\r\nthe stage for everything that follows.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

If\r\nyou\u2019ve watched the interconnection that occurs repeatedly in the Proverbs,\r\nWisdom and Understanding, along with Counsel and Might operating freely within\r\nus pave the way for the unfolding of the divine Knowledge that proceeds from\r\nthe Fear of the Lord.\u00a0 <\/span>The Fear of the\r\nLord is not some kind of scary, doom and gloom kind of fear.\u00a0 <\/span>It is the awe and reverence of Him, who He\r\nis, and what He does in us so that we can become more and more that original\r\nimage that He created with Adam and Eve.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Adam\r\nand Eve had total dominion over the earth.\u00a0\r\n<\/span>They walked with the Lord in complete confidence and trust.\u00a0 <\/span>They enjoyed the ability to move\r\ninterdimentionally with Him.\u00a0 <\/span>They lived\r\na place of power and authority that is available to each of us because of the\r\nprice Jesus paid with His suffering, His persecution, His death on the Cross\r\nand subsequent resurrection.\u00a0 <\/span>Let us\r\ncontinue on in our growth and development!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In case you are missing out on real fellowship in an environment\r\nof Ekklesia, ourSunday worship gatherings are available by conference call \u2013\r\nusually at about 10:30AM Pacific.\u00a0 <\/span>That\r\nconference number is <\/span><\/b>(712) 770-4160<\/span><\/b>, and\r\nthe access code is <\/span><\/b>308640#.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0 <\/span>We are now making these gatherings available on\r\nvideo usingZOOM.\u00a0 <\/span>If you wish to\r\nparticipate by video on ZOOM, our login ID is 835-926-513.\u00a0 <\/span>If you miss the live voice-onlycall, you can\r\ndial <\/span><\/b>(712) 770-4169<\/span><\/b>, enter the same access code\r\nand listen in later.\u00a0 <\/span>The video call, of\r\ncourse, is not recorded \u2013 not yet, anyway.<\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Blessings on you!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\r\n
