THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD…


Revelation 5:6 – And I saw between the throne (with the four living creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing, as if slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.”

What I want to share is not some new prophetic insight but something that has enabled me to embrace God’s fullness and perfection even more.

In Revelation 5 and many times in Revelation, the term “Seven Spirits of God” is used.   What are the Seven Spirits of God?  Is the Holy Spirit Seven separate beings?  No!  Then what could that mean, or what could the phraseology’s purpose be?

I offer this:  Seven is the number of completion or perfection.   The judgments are in sevens – completion.  Seven days of creation, with the 7th being the symbol of completion. But what are the Seven Spirits of God?

  • The Spirit of Wisdom.
  • The Spirit of Understanding.
  • The Spirit of Counsel.
  • The Spirit of Power.
  • The Spirit of Knowledge.
  • The Spirit of Reverence (Fear of God).
  • The Spirit of Prophecy.

Revelation 5:12 says of Jesus that He is Worthy to receive Power, Riches, Wisdom, Might, Honor, Glory, and Blessing (sevenfold).

We are IN Christ, and He is IN us. His Holy Spirit empowers us with all His attributes.   We are heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus.  We have His authority, and in that, we have all His attributes to fulfill His purposes and our calling.

James said that if we need Wisdom, Ask!  Therefore, if we have access to ALL of Jesus and ALL the Holy Spirit, why do we not live like that is true?

I stand in faith and declare, “As He is, so am I in this present world.”  Declare that, believe that, and live like God is telling the truth! He has given us the Kingdom, so we need to stop living like beggars and start living like heirs.

Are we going to ride like princes and princesses or like beggars?  The choice is ours based on God’s promises.

What do you need?  He IS.  So, Why Not Now?

May the Love, Peace, Power, and Provision of God be your constant guide!
