Isaiah 11:1-10“The spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him: a spirit of wisdom and of understanding, A spirit of counsel and of strength, a spirit of knowledge and of fear of the Lord.”
The Spirit of the Lord, the Holy Spirit, rests on Jesus. Wisdom and understanding, counsel and strength (Love, joy), knowledge (Understanding of God). Here, fear is trust in God. Either we trust or we do not trust in God.
Luke 10:21-24
“Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit.”
The reality of the Holy Spirit is joy, peace, and life.
