True Life in God
Notebook 79
the Spirit of Piety will lead you to
become:
- a delight of the Delight of the Father,
- a fragrance of myrrh in My Presence,
- a lily of My garden;
- a boast
1
to My angels;
- a festival of joy permanently in My
Heart, and a copy of Myself;
you will only have to will and I will lift
your pitiable soul! I do not lack means to
show My Power or My Sovereignty;
come and seek Me in simplicity of the
heart, do not remain in debt to your sin,
ask for forgiveness and I shall forgive
you; ask for the Spirit of Fear to
discipline you into keeping My Name
Holy;
let My Spirit robe you with honour
and reverence – a gift and a rare
treasure, a sign of loving faithfulness –
learn to bow your head low so that I may
be seen, learn to lower your voice so that
you may begin to hear My Voice and
discover My intentions, My desires and
My Will; learn to raise your voice only in
praise for My Glorious Presence; learn to
raise your head only in search of Me and
of what is heavenly .... many influential
men have been put low, for they have
neither honoured Me nor shown Me any
reverence;
you want to know what “the Fear of
the Lord” means? the Fear of the Lord is
the beginning of Wisdom, the Fear of the
Lord is the crown of Wisdom; it is he
who receives
Me graciously,
acknowledging Us as Thrice Holy with
reverence, faithfulness and honour; to
Fear Me is to humble yourself in Our
Presence, pleading with Me to forgive

In the sense of being glorified.
you so that I make out of you an
everlasting altar on which I would place
all My Knowledge, My Precepts and My
Law;
I will place on your Holy Fear My
confidence, My treasures, with learned
sayings revealing My mysteries and My
secrets; I will show you the mysteries of
My Heart, those hidden treasures in
your Holy Fear, and you will learn then
that I am God in whom you can obtain
Everlasting Life, Everlasting Joy and
Peace; you will learn from My Spirit of
Fear that submissiveness seduces Me;
stern as it might appear, it is The
Opening for Me to enter in your heart
and do My Will;
I will receive your submission with
your Holy Fear as one receives a royal
crown of splendour and We, the
Trinitarian God, for Our part, will dress
you in Our invincible Holiness so that
any trace of lawlessness remaining in
you will dissipate from you like morning
mist; born and renewed by My Spirit,
you who in My grief had ceased to be,
will once more be; many of the dead will
look at you, uncomprehending, that you,
once dead but now alive behave as We
would have you behave, sagaciously and
with Holy Fear;
learn that the Lord of All offers grace
and mercy for those who fear Him and
fear His Name; I will get My honour, if
you praise My Name thrice Holy,
everywhere you go; and that incense
2
offered to Me from your heart in My
Name is like a pure offering to Me; it is
time to seek for this gift of My Spirit of
Fear
– weapon for combating rebellion
– element to prevent you from falling,
and sceptre of My Kingdom
– stoop down to Me and I will lift you
lovingly; lower yourself so that in My
Mercy My arms lift you; like someone

It means: prayers.
