Leadership
I used to wonder about this scripture.. Psalms 111:10 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.. My problem was...I didn't fear of God, I loved Him, so I didn't really get it.
So one morning while I was praying at the altar in Faith Chapel I asked the Lord... "What did you mean by that scripture Lord, I don't get it and I want to know."
Let me say this to everyone... Be careful what you ask God for cause He will show you!!!
Well as I continued to pray, there appeared this mighty whirlwind or tornado perhaps right in front of me. It went from the altar all the way up to the heavens as far as the eye can see. It was whirling about with such great speed and force that it was all I could do to even hold on to the altar. There was a extremely high charge of electricity flowing from it and a loud humming sound like that of a super high power electric line... maybe you've heard that sound before.
Anyway... the electricity and force of the whirlwind kept jerking me back and forth as I held onto the altar for dear life. I then heard a voice come out of the whirlwind and say,,, "Have you had enough yet?" I said trembling O' my Lord yes, stop, no man can stand up under all this." Then He said... "Do you understand now what I meant?" I said weeping, "O' YES Lord, I get it now, please no more." When I said that the whirlwind started to vaporize and left. I then heard the Lord say with a voice of authority..."Son, do you now see how I said let there be light and it happened?" I said, "O' YES Lord, such power, such might, that's why everything must obey you, and creation must've been so easy for you." He said, "And son, that was only a little twitch of my baby finger, if I would have raised my hand the whole universe would be destroyed." I said, "Forgive me Lord for asking such a stupid question."....and His reply I will never forget... He said, "Son, there are no stupid questions any of my children can ask. But I wanted you to know and understand what you were asking of me. I don't want any of my children to FEAR Me like being AFRAID of Me kind of fear,, or like the world understands it, I would never harm them, what I want is them to love, respect, and revere me for who I AM, not just what I could do if I wanted to."
Folks, this is a true account I had with God and it totally explained THAT scripture in full for me. I also wanted to add that at no time during this vision did I feel any threat to my life, only incredible POWER & LOVE. Was it so powerful I didn't think I could take it much longer? Yes, but God knew my limits and eased up on me at the right time. I'll close with this, Don't fear God like scaredy-cat fear.. but we had better respect Him for who He is for sure.......I am very careful what I ask Him for these days!!!!!!!!!!!
