Isaiah 11:3
And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears.
Having a desire to please God is a common attribute of a believer or one who is born again but beyond the mere desire to please God in our day to day lives, there is a level of seeking to have a revelation of who God is, so that you may worship and fear Him as we ought to.
One way to acquire the fear of God is by understanding His word. Through the study of the Word, prayer, and intimacy, you begin to learn to fear him. When you gain an understanding of the fear of God, then you can attract the spirit of the fear of God.
Whenever your heart is set on seeking the understanding of who God is, you attract the spirit of the fear of the Lord and thereby grow in the fear of the LORD by understanding. This creates a ready atmosphere for the revival as God will not show up where there is no understanding of his personality.
