We are told in Psalm 111:10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom a good understanding have all they that do His commandments.” And Proverbs 1:7 says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” Neither of these verses tell us to be afraid or fearful that we cannot walk in the dominion in which God the Father has instructed us to walk, but to fear the Lord. 

It is vital for the believers in Christ Jesus to become knowledgeable about how to develop and cultivate the Fruit of the Spirit in his or her life and to develop each individually to maturity.  The Father expects us to grow and mature the fruit. As we develop the Fruit of the Spirit in our lives, it will cause us to bear fruit that exemplifies His glory in the earth and enable the believer to become an overcomer. Though it requires time and effort, the rewards will surpass the cost involved.  

"Abide in Me, and I in You. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches.  He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." 
  John 15: 4-5

Believers, you are called by the Father of the Universe to remain in a state of readiness because we are not playing on a school yard but on grounds which requires that we dress in battle ready attire.  We must embrace our God-given garments, supernatural clothing that can only be found in the strength of the Lord through the power of the Holy Spirit.  No Christian is immune to the onslaught of the enemy, and none can afford to be impartial in the ongoing conflict.

Ephesians 6:10-18 (MSG)
"And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way.  This is no weekend war that we'll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours.  This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and his angels.  Be prepared. You're up against more than you can handle on your own........ In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare.  Pray hard and long.  Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open.  Keep each other's spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out."

Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words.  Learn how to apply them.  You'll need them throughout your life.  God's Word is an indispensable weapon.  In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare.  Pray hard and long.  Pray for your brothers and sisters.
