Seven Spirits of God
Isa. 11: 1-3 A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.
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—
3 and he will delight in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears;
Here we have Jesus, He is the vine, But, we are the branches. We have been engrafted into this. We are all one.
John 15:5 NIV “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
These same spirits are to be in us. This is our inheritance. To bare much fruit. This is what is being worked out in us. What is happening this day the word of God is being engrafted into us. So, we will have the same nature as Jesus. Spiritually we are being transformed by the renewing of our minds.
For this to happen we are going through the fire, the storms, the lightings, the thunder & the earthquakes of Revelation so Jesus Christ can be unveiled in these mortal bodies. These mortal bodies must put on immortality, a new body, a new creation in Christ Jesus. You don’t go by the way of the grave for this to happen. Our last enemy death we will overcome. You don’t overcome death by dying, you overcome death by living being transformed by the renewing of our minds. Having the power of the endless life, as Jesus did on the mount of transfiguration. You are the Temple of the Holy Spirit, this is where God wants to reign in your being. He wants the Temple to be high & lifted up & that His train fills the Temple. He does not want to lose His temple. He wants to sit on the throne (mind of Christ) of His Temple. I have a vision, I want life & that which is more abundant. Glory! My Full inheritance.
We need to walk this out! Come into the full mature mind of Christ. Know HIM in Spirit & in Truth. You don’t die & go into the Kingdom of Heaven. The Lord’s prayer tells us, “Thy Kingdom come thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.”
He is not talking about the earth or round ball we call earth. He is talking about you earth that your formed from. Glory to God!
The ones that have passed on, their spirit goes back to the Father, who gave it, until resurrection time. God’s love is so great, one cannot imagine such love, He does not forget anyone.
Rom. 8:23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.
1Cor. 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
55 “O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?”
56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. We are no longer under sin, the law was taken away by Jesus. The strength of the law is SIN to us.
In this study I want to show what God is doing in our lives. Everything lines up in the scriptures, precept upon precept, here a little, there a little.
The seven Spirits of Isa.11 & the 7 spirits around the throne in Rev. the rainbow around the throne in Rev. is all God & His people that are becoming mature Sons of God, the overcomers. Let us bring some of these scriptures to light.
Ezekiel 1:28 NIV
28 Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking. The Lord appeared to Ezek. In a rainbow in the clouds. It was the Glory of the Lord.
In Heb12: 1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about* with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
We are the great cloud of witnesses, what does clouds & rain bring? A Rainbow!
In Rev. it tells us where this rainbow shines, around the throne.
Rev. 1:1-5 1 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”
2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it.
3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne.
4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. (The 24 elders are the Priests, dressed in white, purity, their crowns were gold, wisdom of the Lord. Did He not tell us He will make us Kings & Priests?)
5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God.
Now let us tie this all together from Isa 11 The seven spirits of God. In front of the throne, seven lamps are blazing, (fire of God.) These are the seven spirits.
We know that according to Eph. 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; (But, out of the one spirit, manifests the other six Spirits.)
In Isa. 11:1-3 vs.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— each one of these spirits has a color, they are the rainbow around the throne of God. Let us look at the allegory that the Lord is showing us in the rainbow & the seven spirits of God.
If you would take a pure white light & put it under a prism, you would see the colors of the rainbow manifest itself from that white light. God is all light & one spirit, but from that light of God manifests itself into the other 6 spirits. They manifest in the beautiful colors of the rainbow which is also around the throne.
White is the purity & all light of God, from that spirit we have the
Spirit of Wisdom. Wisdom is the color of Gold. Every instruction that was given for the tabernacle was given by the wisdom of God & it was made from pure gold. Now we are the temple of God.
Prov.2:2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
He tells us to in
Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see.
The Spirit of Understanding is Red, we come through the blood of Jesus, Jesus our elder brother, our example. Commissioned by Jesus to do the same works as He did & even greater.
Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
The Spirit of Council is orange. To be able to minister to God’s people you must have the wisdom of God (Gold) & understanding of God (Red). Mix these to colors & you have orange. Council
The Spirit of Might is blue. We have the heavenlies, which is a high realm in Spirit or a high consciousness of your mind. To have the Power of God working in our lives as the first son of God did, Jesus Christ. You will set God’s people free from the bondage of corruption of this world & bring them into His marvelous light. Setting them free from their captivity, by the word of the Lord.
John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from (your) the earth, will draw all men unto me. This is the Power of God.
The Spirit of Knowledge is green. Look all around you in nature, the trees, plant life is green which is living, it is life. For us to seek the ways of the Lord it is life to us.
Proverbs 9:10 NIV The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
The Spirit of Fear of the Lord is purple (fear reverence of the Lord) Majesty, Royalty, Praises to my Lord. He is my God, my Love, My redeemer. I Am one in Him.
Genesis 9:16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”
We are the cloud of witnesses & the rainbow will appear. We will speak & walk in wisdom of our God & with it we will have understanding, we will council in His name. The power of God will work through us, as we will be that mighty Army, as we go about doing the Father’s business. We will have a heart of Praise, gratitude & love & serve His people & our Father.
He is still working on us to come to this Glorious place. The seals are still being opened. The work that He started in us, He will surely finish.
Revelation 3:18 (King James Version)
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see.
What an awesome God!
