qqqqq^ THE SPIRIT OF THE FEAR OF THE LORD qqqqq 115
Understand what I’m talking about. There’s a
time when the Spirit of God comes into a place
and He insists on absolute reverence.
They didn’t have such reverence in the early
Corinthian church. Even though they were walking
in the manifestations of the gifts of the Spirit, they
lacked the Spirit of the fear of the Lord. They were
scrambling for food meant for the Holy
Communion (1 Corinthians 11:20-22). They were
committing abominable sins (1 Corinthians 5:1)
and there was so much envy, strife and division
among them (1 Corinthians 3:3-4). They had no
reverence for spiritual things.
SUBMIT AND BE HUMBLE
There’s something about the Spirit of the fear
of the Lord that produces humility in you. He
instils in you the fear (reverence) of God and makes
you say the right words.
Insulting words cannot come out of your
mouth when you have the Spirit of the fear of the
Lord. He makes you humble. It doesn’t matter
