Additional Verses

📖 Isaiah 11:1-9; Matthew 10:5-20; 1 John 2:20; Revelation 1:9-20

The prophet Isaiah lists the seven Spirits of God which you must have in order to fully experience God’s blessings upon your life. “The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him. The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of Counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.” (Isaiah 11:2) You cannot have the fullness of the Spirit of God when you miss one of the above listed Spirits of God. Once you have all the seven Spirits of God functioning in you, you will experience God’s glory to the fullest. However, the fullness of the Spirit of God can only come about in your life when you have the hunger and thirst for the Word of God. In John 7:37-38, the LORD Jesus Christ assures you that He is always ready to give this fullness of His Spirit to anyone who comes to drink from Him. The fullness of the Spirit of God can only come about when you spend more and more time feeding and drinking from His Word and allowing it to control and lead your life. This is what the other great men of God who include Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Daniel, the Apostles, Paul and many others did. It is the Spirit of the LORD that gives birth to you as a child of God or that makes you a new creation. However, it is not enough just to say you are a child of God without the Spirit of wisdom and understanding. The Spirit of wisdom and understanding reveals to you the mysteries of God as you study His Word. It makes you to be able to discover His purpose for you in His Word as God created you according to His purpose. The Spirit of Counsel produces in you the virtues of the fruit of the Spirit which includes peace, joy, patience, self-control, long suffering and gentleness while the Spirit of the LORD fills you with God’s love, and the other virtues of the fruit of the Spirit which include goodness, gentleness and faithfulness. The Spirit of mighty, makes you master over every situation just like what the Bible says about David when he defeated Goliath and when he killed a lion and a bear when they had attacked his father’s flock. Also Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego when they were thrown into the fire, because they believed in the living God, not even their hair or clothing were burnt. It was also the same again with Daniel, when he spent the whole night in the den of lions and they did not even touch him. The Spirit of knowledge gives you the ability to know things beyond the ordinary human reasoning. You just know the right way to respond to situations and the right words to say without thinking at all. Jesus Christ was referring to the Spirit of knowledge, in Matthew 10:19-20, when He said to His disciples, “But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak; for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.” The Spirit of the fear of the LORD always reminds you to consult with the LORD in everything you do. It is that Spirit that brings perfection in everything you do, for God is perfect and He is the only source of perfection. Proverbs 16:1 says, “To humans belong the plans of the heart, but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue.” All in all the seven Spirits of God in us brings the nature of God which righteousness and this makes us a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that we should show forth the praises of him who hath called us out of darkness into his marvelous light. Alleluia!

Prayer

Dear LORD Jesus Christ, I thank You for Your Spirit. I ask that I may have the fullness of Your Spirit so that I can be raised higher and understand Your Word more. Thank You Father, in Jesus Christ’s name, Amen.
