The Fear of The Lord

The Fear of the Lord is the place of full obedience. It is the goal of which we hope to obtain in this race we run. The full manifestation of the Fear of the Lord is the mature Bride--it is our glorification. It comes from a place of revelation of Christ's sacrifice, of the greatness of the Trinity's love for us, of our inheritance to Christ and from Christ, of our adoption, of our identity, of the hope for which we long, of the kingdom to come, and of the eternal glory with the Fullness of God that awaits us.

The fear of the Lord is walked out in the obeying of the perfect narrow pathed will of the Father...a path that in no way can be found apart from grace and revelation; no man can find such a path by striving or by works...surely they shall miss or turn from it as bitterness, anger, offense, and rebellion arise because of a lack of revelation of love and of God.

The Fear of the Lord literally requires Wisdom; it literally requires the man Christ (Christ is the Wisdom of God--1Cor 1:24). In this man my life, the very substance of my existence, is hidden. As I seek Wisdom or rather Christ, I find my life, my actual existence; the finding of such causes me to desire to walk in obedience; I fear being even one millimeter outside His perfect will for me because I know that in that place my life does not exist, and though in the natural I am alive, I am actually walking back into death, walking out of the life of mine in Christ, a walking back into slavery. Thus, Christ telling me to stay firm in my freedom is Him, in fact, telling me to stay in the life which is hidden in Christ because in that place there are no chains or bondages to the world, no reliance on the world for anything...not even for it to tell me I exist.

The Fear of the Lord comes forth in manifestation from a Bride who truly lives seated from above... in the place where that life hidden in Christ is actually found.

The Knowledge of God

To me the knowledge of God is the very character of God. Its the nature of the Creator, the very movements of the Almighty Sovereign God. It is the very thing which not only produced the Universe, by the speaking of the knowledge, but is holding the universe together even now. The knowledge of God is what holds everything in place; should one thing shift in this knowledge of God or character of God, all things would fall apart, for we are literally upheld by the knowledge and character of God.

The obtaining of the knowledge of God is the obtaining of His character and ways; it is the obtaining of Christ; it is our sanctification, our moving from glory to glory...the transformation from old to new, from slave to free, from whore to Bride, from orphan to son, from dark to light...it is the literal "New Creation" that we are becoming made manifest; the becoming of the image of Christ whose image we were originally formed in...it is the reversing of the curse and the restoring of the Garden of Eden, the place of fellowship where Creator walks with that which was created in His image.

The obtaining of the knowledge of God or character of God is redemption at its most glorious and full manifestation! It is the redeeming of all; transforming the cursed being into a pure and spotless Bride. It is the reversal of the curse, the restoring of Eden... The Bringing of The Kingdom Which is at Hand!
