thunder and rain that day; and all the people greatly
feared the LORD and Samuel” (1 Samuel 12:18).
That was orchestrated by the Spirit of the fear of
the Lord.
THE SPIRIT OF THE FEAR OF THE
LORD INSISTS ON REVERENCE
When this Spirit of reverence comes into a
place, things change. He disciplines people and
sets things in order. He does something big and
everybody becomes quiet and humble in God’s
presence. You’ve got to watch out for this Spirit!
When Ananias and Sapphira misbehaved, He
struck them dead and great fear came upon the
people (Acts 5:1-11).
Any time the anointing of God’s Spirit is so
strong and something spectacular like this
happens, fear (holy awe, reverence) comes upon
the people. That’s the Spirit of the fear of the Lord
in action. He insists that you have reverence for
God and for the things of God.
