Fear is a common thing we all face, day in day out. But not all fears are bad. The Bible says the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.
Fear of the LORD
-the beginning of wisdom
-causes us to see our own spiritual condition
-results in us wanting to seek the LORD again
-we start to fast & pray & seek the LORD
Fast
-as we fast, flesh & spirit starts to separate
-sanctification begins
-we become a holy sacrifice unto the LORD once aagin
Fire of GOD
-the fire of GOD starts to consume the living sacrifice on the altar
-what is left are pure hands & a clean heart
Fresh Passion & Vision
-we start to ascend to the holy mountain of GOD once again
-dead dreams resurrected
-passion for soul-winning reignited
Faith
-face to face with Jesus, hearing His voice once again, faith begin to arise in our hearts
-we are ready to fight & conquer again
*Most of our stories end here. Sad but true.
Faithfulness
-Faith w/o works is dead
-we need to develop faithfulness in our lives
-faithfulness in every area of our lives
-this will lead us into fruitfulness
Fruitfulness
-Fruits that will remain
-Simply because we have learnt how to abide in Him & trust in Him

ATTITUDE
Attitude is really everything.
A - After
T - The
T - Test(s) or Trial(s)
I - Is
T - Truth &
U - Understanding
D - Deeply
E - Established?
Everything GOD does in our lives is progressive. GOD builds our lives upon Truths which have been deeply established through tests & trials, moldings & experiences. How we respond to everything that happens around us will determine whether our lives are built upon GOD's principles or upon our emotions. In everything that we struggle to go through, we must always ask GOD for understanding. Solomon says even if it costs us everything, we must get understanding. Not our own kind of understanding, but GOD's understanding. GOD doesn't see things the way we see. His ways are always higher than our ways, His thoughts higher than our thoughts.
As we get older, the harder it is for us to humble ourselves. We are no longer so moldable as when we were younger. Things get more complicated & our hearts become more hardened. That's why the Bible says we must guard our hearts for out of it flows the issues of life. Without a pure heart, we can never see GOD. We can never see what are the things GOD is trying to remove, what are the things He is trying to prune, & what are the things He is trying to build.
I nearly destroyed my own destiny. Thank GOD for His Grace, I'm still around.
My greatest honor will always be, to serve my LORD & King.
Thank you Jesus.
