SOAR ON WINGS LIKE EAGLESIsaiah 40:31but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 11:2(NIV)2 The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord—

Isaiah 33:6 He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich
store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is
the key to this treasure. [1]
1.) RICH STORE OF SALVATION, WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE
KNOWLEDGE OF SECRETS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD
• Matthew 13:11(NIV) He replied, “Because the
knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.
2.) WISDOM
• Proverbs 9:10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
• Psalms 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.
• Proverbs 15:33 The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom, [3] and humility comes before honor.
4.) PREVENTION OF UNTIMELY DEATH BUT ADDITIONAL YEARS IN LIFE.
• Proverbs 14:27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death.
• Proverbs 10:27 The fear of the LORD adds
length to life, but the years of the wicked are cut short.
• Psalms 34:7 The angel of the LORD
encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.
6.) INCREASING ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
2 Corinthians 1:21-22(NIV)21 Now it is God who makes both us and
you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, 22 set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.[a]

presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.
•Matthew 13:12(NIV) Whoever has will be
given more, and they will have an abundance.
Whoever does not have, even what they have will
be taken from them.
1 Corinthians 12:7-11 (NIV)77 Now to each one the
manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,
9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,
10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b]
11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.
