The seven spirits of God are seven aspects of the Holy Spirit of promise that Yashua gives us. All seven spirits of God rest fully upon our Lord. The Spirit of the Lord is the Spirit of Truth that bears witness to us. The Wisdom of God is foolish to men but to us it is the revelation in the knowledge of Him. By departing from evil and every false way we can more clearly understand the deep things of God, His words and precepts.
Purpose is established by a multitude of Counselors. He gives power to the faint and strengthens those who wait upon Him. When we give ourselves to Yashua, He knows us and we know Him. Just as He loves us, we love one another. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom by which we depart from evil and get understanding.
Rev 3:1 RV And to 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 thou art dead.
Rev 5:6 RV And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth.
The seven spirits of God are seven aspects of the Holy Spirit of promise that Yashua gives us.
Isa 11:1-4 RV
(1) And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots shall bear fruit:
(2) 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;
(3) And his delight shall be 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:
(4) 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.
All seven spirits of God rest fully upon our Lord.
1. Spirit of the Lord
1Jn 5:6-8 RV
(6) This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood.
(7) And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is the truth.
(8) For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three agree in one.
Joh 15:26 RV But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall bear witness of me:
The Spirit of the Lord is the Spirit of Truth that bears witness to us.
2. Spirit of Wisdom
1Co 1:19-24 RV
(19) For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And the prudence of the prudent will I reject.
(20) Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
(21) For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom knew not God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save them that believe.
(22) Seeing that Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom:
(23) but we preach Christ crucified, unto Jews a stumblingblock, and unto Gentiles foolishness;
(24) but unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Eph 1:16-18 RV
(16) cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
(17) that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
(18) having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
The Wisdom of God is foolish to men but to us it is the revelation in the knowledge of Him.
3. Spirit of Understanding
1Co 2:9-10 RV
(9) but as it is written, Things which eye saw not, and ear heard not, And which entered not into the heart of man, Whatsoever things God prepared for them that love him.
(10) But unto us God revealed them through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
Job 28:28 RV And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
Psa 119:103-105 RV
(103) How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
(104) Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
(105) NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and light unto my path,
4. Spirit of Counsel

5. Spirit of Might
Isa 40:28-31 RV
(28) Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard? the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary; there is no searching of his understanding.
(29) He giveth power to the faint; and to him that hath no might he increaseth strength.
(30) Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
(31) but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
1Pe 5:8-10 RV
(8) Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
(9) whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world.
(10) And the God of all grace, who called you unto his eternal glory in Christ, after that ye have suffered a little while, shall himself perfect, stablish, strengthen you.
He gives power to the faint and strengthens those who wait upon Him.
6. Spirit of Knowledge
1Jn 4:4-8 RV
(4) Ye are of God, my little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.
(5) They are of the world: therefore speak they as of the world, and the world heareth them.
(6) We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he who is not of God heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
(7) Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God.
(8) He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Isa 28:9-12 RV
(9) Whom will he teach knowledge? and whom will he make to understand the message? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts?
(10) For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little.
(11) Nay, but by men of strange lips and with another tongue will he speak to this people:
(12) to whom he said, This is the rest, give ye rest to him that is weary; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
Joh 10:5 RV And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
Joh 10:14-15 RV

(15) even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
