WELCOME THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD.
A man led by the Spirit of God is a man guided by the Spirit of the Lord, the spirit of wisdom, the spirit of knowledge and understanding, the spirit of counsel, the spirit of might, and the spirit of the fear of the Lord. Each of these seven aspects of the Spirit should shape a person continually. You should advance from one level in the school of the Spirit to another level in the school of the Seven Spirits of God.
This is an active, continuous, and progressive process. That’s why, if you claim to be led by the Spirit but lack wisdom, you are mistaken. If you say you are filled with the Spirit but lack divine counsel, lack understanding, or don’t even know the Holy Spirit, you are mistaken.
The seven spirits of God begin with the Spirit of the Lord, who is, of course, the Holy Spirit. He is the overseer who controls the other spirits. He is the host, the administrator of the other spirits. When the Bible speaks of the Spirit of counsel, it refers to God’s wisdom released at each moment.
The Spirit of knowledge will guide your thinking, and suddenly, wisdom will descend into your consciousness, and you will know what to do.
“A wise man will hear and increase in learning, and a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel.” Proverbs 1:5
“The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.” Proverbs 12:15
“Where there is no guidance, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors, there is safety.” Proverbs 11:14
Imagine if you welcomed the spirit of counsel. The spirit of counsel walks within you, the spirit of counsel is upon you. Every time Satan throws deceitful challenges your way, your desires, you receive the Holy Spirit’s counsel, and he will ask how you knew.
Having the Holy Spirit is not just about experiencing spiritual chills. God wants to elevate you to represent Him in wisdom, in knowledge, and in understanding. God wants you to become the light of the world, to bring relevance in a dark world, to gain dominion in the marketplace, to participate in the economy of this world.
Don’t you know that God’s upcoming movement requires your financial dominance? Wisdom will lead you to the wealth reserved for the righteous. To welcome the seven Spirits of God, each of the seven Spirits of God would agree to come upon you. You should undergo tests, schooling, and institutions of the seven Spirits of God, through the Spirit of the Lord.
You should enter and be enrolled in or admitted to the University of the School of Wisdom. I don’t know how many years it would take to educate you through wisdom. Understand that Wisdom is a person. The Bible calls Christ the Wisdom of God. Christ is the radiance of God’s glory and light and manifests in many ways.
The Bible says Christ is made unto us righteousness, redemption, sanctification.
“It is by Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.” 1 Corinthians 1:30
Christ is the righteousness of God revealed. Christ is the love of God manifested. Christ is the Son of God, the way, the truth, and the life; He thus embodies the diversity of Zion’s treasures. I want you to understand that Wisdom is a spirit. Before the Spirit of wisdom can enter a man and dwell in him, that man must go through the refinement, the workings of God’s wisdom.
When the Bible says wisdom is the principal thing, what does it mean? It means that Wisdom is the foundation of every area of life. Do you have wisdom for marriage? Do you have wisdom for your health? Do you have wisdom for your finances?
“The Spirit of the Lord will rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. He will delight in the fear of the Lord; he will not judge by what he sees, nor decide by what he hears.” Isaiah 11:2-3
The seven spirits are:
- The Spirit of the Lord
- The Spirit of Wisdom
- The Spirit of Understanding
- The Spirit of Counsel
- The Spirit of Might
- The Spirit of Knowledge
- The Spirit of the Fear of the Lord
Each of these spirits represents faculties in the university of the Spirit of God. Just as when you attended university, you followed several study disciplines and took exams. You were in class. I want you to know that when the Bible says the Spirit of the Lord will come upon us, the Spirit that will come upon us is the fullness of the Spirit.
Note that the Spirit will only come upon those who have completed the school of the seven Spirits of God. If you do not submit to the Holy Spirit for training now, you risk missing out on something. Remember that the Bible speaks of the seven lampstands.
“I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned, I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands, someone like a son of man, dressed in a long robe with a golden sash around his chest.” Revelation 1:12-13
Each lampstand has a candle and a light on it. There are seven lampstands that should be in your spirit to welcome and become a distributor of the fire of the fullness of the Holy Spirit. This is the most authentic way. Then, you can distribute the fire with authority. As you grow and mature in understanding and practicing these seven spirits, you graduate from a spiritual university, becoming a true vessel and distributor of God’s fire…
