qqqqq^ THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD qqqqq 31
“And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah
the son of Oded: And he went out to meet
Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa,
and all Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is
with you, while ye be with him; and if ye
seek him, he will be found of you; but if
ye forsake him, he will forsake you”
(2 Chronicles 15:1-2).
Azariah and many other prophets stood
before kings and rulers and spoke boldly to
them because the Spirit of the Lord came upon
them. In the New Covenant, Paul tells us “God
hath not given us the spirit of fear (or timidity);
but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind”
(2 Timothy 1:7).
If you’ve received the Holy Spirit to live in
you, you’re no longer ordinary. You have the
boldness of God in you to do anything that is
consistent with His will. That’s what we’ve got,
but many of us haven’t understood or taken
advantage of this, because we haven’t really
walked with the Spirit of the Lord as we should.
