Lesson 120: God The Holy Spirit – Part 24

INTRODUCTION: God is the source of true joy; which explains why there is joy wherever the Holy Spirit is moving. God is the miracle worker, which is why miracles accompany the movements of the Holy Spirit. Angels are Holy Spirits, which explains why angels follow wherever the Holy Spirit leads. And since God is Light and demons are forces of darkness, demons have to run when the Holy Spirit approaches. In this study we want to show that whenever the Holy Spirit is in manifestations, there will be Holy fear.

1. THERE IS ALWAYS HOLY FEAR WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT MOVES
Note all fears arc bad. intact some are healthy and good. The Christians has only one person to fear and that is God. Godly fear is reverential i.e. the fear of hurting someone you love and adore. Whenever the Holy Spirit is in manifestation there is reverence for God. a holy fear that grips people whenever they see the demonstration of the power of the Almighty. This is always the case whenever the Holy Spirit exposes sinners and judges them. Pretenders become afraid of joining the church but earnest seekers troop in.

Is. 8:13; Matt. 10:28: Rom. 11:20. I Pet. 1:17; I Pet. 2:17; Deut. 10:12; Deut. 13:4; Jos. 4:24; Acts 5:1-5; Acts 5:11-14; Acts 19:13-20.

2. GODLY FEAR AND GODLY SERVICE ARE LINKED
Only those who fear God follow Him truly. Intact Godly fear and sincere service go hand in hand because only those who fear Him can obey Him implicitly. Which is why He says that the whole duty of a man is summed up in “fearing God and obeying Him.” I Sam.l2-.14; Jos. 24:14; I Chr. 16:30, II Chr. 19:7, Pro. 3:7; Ecc. 12:13.

3. MEN AND HOUSES OF GOD SHOULD BE REVERENCED TOO.
Anything that belongs to God must be treated with almost the same reverence that is due to God. This includes all men of God who are in His truth. They must be held in high esteem because they represent God Himself. So also must His sanctuary be
reverenced?

Matt.l0-40; Exo. 33:8; I Thes. 5:12-13; I Thess. 5:17; Heb. 13:7; Lev. 19:30; Ecc. 5:1.

4. GOD REWARDS THOSE WHO FEAR HIM
Those who fear God are always rewarded by Him. Their rewards include (1) Divine direction, (2) great goodness (3) mercy and (4) being His favourite bride.
