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. Isaiah 11:2 NIV
God is releasing the ability to flow and operate in the 7 Spirits of the Lord starting this week. We need this to help us reboot our ability to hear the Lord. Not everyone will operate in all seven, but you will have access to them as you need.
[Tweet "God is releasing the ability to flow and operate in the 7 Spirits of the Lord starting this week."]The 7 Spirits of God in Heaven
The 7 Spirits of God are mentioned throughout the book of Revelation.
Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads. And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. Revelation 4:4-5 NKJV
When John was getting the insight of the Book of Revelation, the angel who visited him referred to the 7 Spirits of God.
Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne … Revelation 1:4 NKJV
The 7 Spirits of God on Earth
In Isaiah 11:2, the 7 Spirits of God are listed as the Spirit of the Lord, wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
Notice 6 of the Spirits are in pairs:
- Wisdom and Understanding
- Counsel and Might
- Knowledge and the Fear of the Lord
These Spirits are the source of the spiritual gifts found in 1 Corinthians 12.
Having the “Spirit of the Lord” rest on you is the ability to move in the gifts of the Holy Spirit and enter into the Lord’s authority and rest.
[Tweet "Having the “Spirit of the Lord” rest on you is the ability to move in the gifts of the Holy Spirit and enter into the Lord’s authority and rest."]The Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding will give you prophetic insight into what is beneath the surface of things and connect you with the wisdom of Heaven.
The Spirits of Counsel and Might will bring the ability to resolve disputes, be a peacemaker and bring supernatural strength. Being a peacemaker is a major ingredient needed to flow in the Spirit of wisdom.
The Spirit of Knowledge will bring words of knowledge and access to revelation of Heaven.
The Spirit of the Fear of the Lord is not being afraid of God, but a reverent respect and understanding of the Father’s heart.
This is the start of hidden mysteries and revelation
We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 1 Corinthians 2:6-7 NIV
The Lord is now beginning to release mysteries and hidden wisdom. [Tweet "The Lord is now beginning to release mysteries and hidden wisdom."]There’s a lot of wisdom of the Word and a mixture of new age, psychology and worldly wisdom out there. Prophetic wisdom, discernment and understanding will help you to know if something is from the Lord or not and how to respond. These are underutilized gifts and are needed in our current season.
This week is the start of the release of a higher-level revelation and deeper understanding, including the Lord opening the Bible up.
God wants to release the 7 Spirits of the Lord in your life! To get ready for this powerful release, join me for this very important and timely workshop—Growing in Prophetic Wisdom, Discernment & Understanding! I’ll help you get positioned to grow in these three areas of spiritual gifting we need right now for the next level of supernatural breakthrough.
