These are my notes from some study I did looking into the Seven Spirits of God. “Word to …” is a word that was said to be from the Lord. As you see, there are two “words”. These were two different words, on the same topic, to two different groups of saints; two Ekklesia. Based upon these two words, I began to look into the topic. I share my notes here for your consideration.

Word to The Ministry at City 4

Study the 7 Spirits of God have an awareness of how one of each of the seven spirits in one of each of the seven counties and them swapping back and forth between counties from time to time.

Word to The Ministry

Study the 7 Spirits of God have an awareness of how they function, how they interplay between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Revelation 1:4-5a KJV

John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth.

Revelation 3:1 KJV

And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.

Revelation 4:5-6a KJV

And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

Revelation 5:6 KJV

And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

Zechariah 3:9 KJV

For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

2 Chronicles 16:9a KJV

For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.

Proverbs 15:3 KJV

The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

Isaiah 11:1-5 KJV

And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: and 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; and shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: but with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

Isaiah 11:1-5 are the verses that are commonly used to define the seven Spirits of God in Revelation. In my searches I have found no other passages that allow scripture to interpret scripture. What I have found, however, are variations of defining the Isaiah account in commentaries.

It is easy to see seven titles.

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

Six of the seven spirits are grouped into pairs; all but the spirit of the Lord.

The spirit of wisdom and understanding
The spirit of counsel and might
The spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord

So, does this really tally only four spirits? I tend to agree with those who say there are seven spirits, but they are paired up for very good reason.

Proverbs 1:11 KJV

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

So we see in this example, that knowledge and the fear of the Lord are connected. However, the fear of the Lord is also connected to wisdom in other passages.

Psalm 111:10 KJV

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

Proverbs 9:10 KJV

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Here we also see knowledge connected to understanding. The message I see here is that the seven Spirits of God do work together in there intended purpose. One without the others will not give the fullness of maturity that the heavenly Father intends for us. As we develop an understanding of each of these spirits, we see the interplay between them. The deeper our experience in each will reveal the greater need for the others.

Paul Keith Davis has a webinar, “The Seven Spirits of God”, in which he lays out the idea of the connectedness of the pairs through the use of the menorah. The spirit of the Lord is the center pipe, which is sometimes taller than the others. Each of the pairs are on corresponding pairs with the same pipe feeding each pair.

Wisdom, Counsel, Knowledge –

Spirit of the LORD

– Fear of the Lord, Might, Understanding

Here we have pairs that are connected and that work together.

The pairs are connected on the same line from left to right.

This is a good visual representation of the seven and the pairs, but I have yet to find that it is accurate to the menorah.

As this was something described to Moses to produce for the temple, it may well be the seven lamps before the throne described in Revelation 4:5.

Ian Clayton has a teaching, “Seven Spirits of God”, in which he uses the rainbow to assign a color to each of the spirits. I have yet to discern if the color even matters or to see if the meanings of the colors correspond to the spirit. Colors would be another study, but here is what he has presented.

Red	The spirit of the Lord
Orange	The spirit of Wisdom
Yellow	The spirit of Understanding
Green	The spirit of Counsel
Blue	The spirit of Might
Indigo	The spirit of Knowledge
Violet	The spirit of the Fear of the Lord

I have seen commentaries that seem to suggest that these seven spirits are in fact the Holy Spirit, and thus represent the fullness of the Spirit of God.

Benson Commentary on Isaiah 11:2 states:

“and the Spirit of the LORD” – The Holy Ghost by which He was anointed (Acts 10:38), and by whose power His human nature was formed in the womb of the virgin (Luke 1:35).

Acts 10:38 KJV

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

Luke 1:35 KJV

And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

This indeed refers to the baptism and conception of Jesus in which the Holy Spirit is expressly present. But is that the same as the spirit of the LORD in Isaiah?

Here is the conclusion of the article on BeginningAndEnd.com, “The Seven Spirits of God – A Biblical Study”:

The Seven Spirits of God represent both the Holy Spirit and the spiritual qualities that establish a godly person. Jesus Christ embodied all of these spirits perfectly and thus can proclaim Himself to be “he that hath the seven Spirits of God.” Christians today should also strive to embody and live up to the standard and example set by Jesus. By living a spirit-filled life with belief and faith in God and His counsel, Biblical knowledge and obedience from a respect and love for God, a Christian can grow and be a greater glory in this world to The Lord who made us all.

I can agree with this conclusion if by representing the Holy Spirit is to mean the Holy Spirit has the fullness of these spirits just as Jesus Christ does, as well as the Father. If the case is that this is the Holy Spirit, then I must take issue.

It would be a separate study to delve deeply into Holy Spirit. Suffice it to say that I do believe Holy Spirit is a member, a person, in the Trinity, the Triune God; Father, Son, Holy Spirit. As such, God is on the throne. How that looks, I am not sure. The father is on the throne and Jesus is seated at His right hand. I always picture Holy Spirit as being right there with them. He is co-equal in every way.

The seven spirits are before the throne. They are not on the throne. This suggests a subservient spot to Almighty God, who is high and lifted up, and seated upon the throne. In the Isaiah passage, the word spirit for each of the seven spirits is in lower case “s” suggesting it is not Holy Spirit.

I am operating under the assumption that the seven spirits are not Holy Spirit. I do believe they do represent the fullness of God in respect to the operation of God with man. I believe Jesus operated in full cooperation with the seven spirits of God and was, as we have seen, anointed by Holy Spirit.

Likewise, we receive the baptism of Holy Spirit and we are expected to grow and mature in the ways of God. I believe this growth is, in part, due to instruction of the seven spirits and gaining all that they have to offer us.

KHouse.org has an article, “Sevenfold Spirit of God”, that suggests Holy Spirit:

Works “with us” (para) to lead us to Christ
Comes “in us” (en) to indwell us permanently
Comes “upon us” (epi) for a supernatural empowering to be His witnesses
Continually “refills us” (pleroo) so that God’s life can continue to flow from our hearts into our lives
This “fullness of God” is what we are talking about here with the mind of Christ. It’s a continual refilling and overflowing of God’s Spirit in a cleansed and empty vessel.

The word to The Ministry included the phrase, “how they interplay between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.” “They” with “Holy Spirit implies the two are different. Or is this not a word from the Lord?

The word to The Ministry at City 4 spoke of one of each of the seven spirits in one of each of the seven counties and them swapping back and forth between counties from time to time. If they are each individual spirits, are they together as one, as Holy Spirit? Or is this not a word from the Lord?

The phrasing of these words from the Lord, though not scripture, lead me to believe that the seven spirits are other than Holy Spirit. The instruction of learning the interaction between one another (The Ministry at City 4) and between them and the members of the Trinity (The Ministry) lead me to believe that they are seven individual spirits.

I believe the seven spirits of God are separate and individual though they work in unison with one another, at the direction of Holy Spirit, in communion with the will of Father, and directing all to Jesus.

I further believe that each member of the Godhead fully envelopes and displays in fullness these seven spirits of God. In addition, I am of the belief that believers ought to be striving to display and walk in the fullness of these seven spirits as led by Holy Spirit.

I believe it is Holy Spirit that directs the seven spirits of God as he sees fit in our development as sons of God. Holy Spirit instructs us and leads us into all truth, and I believe that He uses the seven spirits to hone in on what we need at specific times.

As such, that the seven spirits are not Holy Spirit Himself, they are not omnipresent. But as God is not limited by time and space, the classroom is always open to us as we seek God and maturity in Christ. Just another mystery to wrap our heads around. They are before the throne of God and sent out as God sees fit. They have a specific purpose and the intention is to mature us into sons of God.

Christ is in us. Holy Spirit indwells us. The seven spirits are external to us, just as they are before the throne, not on it. All seven spirits are expressed in the life of Christ and I believe it is the intention of God that they are to express themselves in our lives as we grow in Christ’s likeness and as we do what He did in His life.

Ian Clayton puts it like this:

They are given a purpose, a mandate, and the authority to do a job.
Not just sent out as a good thing; sent out to do a job.
We are called to be the sent out ones of the Father.
The seven spirits are to empower us to establish the Kingdom and to express it, as heirs of God, to the world around us, to enable the world to encounter Him.
They are sent out and expressed through us, as we go out, carrying their expression to the world as sons of God.
You cannot express something until you’ve experienced it.

Revelation 1:4-5a KJV

John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth.

This greeting implies multiple levels of relationship. The letter to the seven churches in Asia shows greetings from:

John
From him which is, and which was, and which is to come (God)
And from the seven Spirits which are before his throne
And from Jesus Christ

This leads me to think that there was an understanding of the seven spirits at that time. They are also before “his” throne. A greeting would imply some sort of relationship, or at the very least a call to remembrance.

The site is designed to glorify God alone as the information is available to all who can glean a nugget to use in their ministry efforts. The Ministry for our ministry name, City for our city name, and various names being used for persons who may be identified in a story, such as Wallace or Beulah. My prayer is that the Lord will keep your focus on what He is trying to show you.
