The seven spirit of God

THE HOLY SPIRIT AND YOU

When a man is not born again, he’s
ignorant of the things he doesn’t know. He’s so blind that he can’t tell what he doesn’t know because he walks according to his senses. If you’re born again, you’re different from the world. Your eyes have been rubbed with the eye-salve of the Spirit of God, and now you can see! The Bible says,“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit
which is of God; that we might know (comprehend, grasp) the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but
which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned”
(1 Corinthians 2:12).

Paul, while writing this scripture, wasn’t
referring to mental knowledge but
revelation knowledge – specific, exact and absolute knowledge. It is possible for us to know the will of God for our lives. The Bible says it can only be spiritually understood; it can only be grasped by the spirit of man.
When your human spirit is enlightened by God’s Word, then you are able to know God’s will for you.
God’s Word is the Light that shines on
your path (Psalm 119:105). However, the fact that the light is shining on your path doesn’t mean you’re traveling the exact route you should, for there could be several routes along your path. This is where the guidance of the Holy Spirit comes in. He’s the One Who guides your steps into the right route along your path. He also opens your understanding of the Word, and teaches you what is right from the Scriptures. You may be at a crossroads in your life right now and asking, “Where do I go from here?” You need a Guide to lead you; that Guide is the Holy Spirit. Knowing Him and walking with Him is the key to that successful life you’ve always desired. He brings you into your inheritance and your destiny in God.
GET TO KNOW THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit of God is not some
smoke or cloud, nor is He a light. He is not a thing! The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Godhead. Why do we call Him the third Person of the Godhead when, in fact, He’s the first Person to be revealed in the Scriptures? This is because He’s the last of the Trinity to be known by us. When you study in Genesis chapter one, it says, “In the beginning God (Elohim) created the
heaven and the earth” (Genesis 1:1).
‘Elohim’ in Hebrew, is plural for ‘God.’
We are then told that the Spirit of God
moved over the face of the deep. Thus, even though the Holy Spirit is the first to be revealed from ‘Elohim,’ He is the last that we get acquainted with, because Jesus said to His disciples in John 14:15-17, “If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another
Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with
you, and shall be in you.” The Holy Spirit is exactly like Jesus. He does not receive power from God. In fact, He is the POWER of God! The Holy Spirit is
the Spirit of truth which proceeds from the Father. He is not less than the Father, nor is He less than Jesus. He proceeds from the Father.
If you went to heaven, you wouldn’t
find the Holy Ghost outside the Father, for He is in the Father. On earth, you’ll find Him everywhere! Why is this so? It’s because everywhere you go as a child of God, the Holy Ghost goes with you and His presence rubs upon everything that concerns you.

What’s His Name? s His Name?

“But the Comforter, which is the
Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name…” (John 14:26). This verse simply implies that the Father will say to the Holy Ghost, “Go in the Name of Jesus...” The Holy Ghost was sent by the Father in the Name of Jesus. The Holy Ghost doesn’t have a name; His name is not ‘Holy Ghost’ or ‘Holy Spirit.’ That’s just a description of His person, His character. The Holy Ghost has no name of His own, but He answers to the Name of Jesus. When you call the Name ‘Jesus,’ the Holy Ghost goes into action. He will have no right to function in the earth the way He does, except if He came in the Name of someone that had a right to the earth. Jesus bought the whole world. He’s called the Son
of man and the Son of God; He’s 100
percent man and 100 percent God. He’s the One with the right to the whole world. He’s the Seed of Abraham.
Now the Holy Ghost has come to earth
in the Name of Jesus. He takes the place of Jesus here on earth. He’s here to do whatever Jesus would have done. He’s not less powerful than Jesus. In fact, He was the One who empowered Jesus. The Bible says in Acts 10:38,
“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.”
He was that Power. Now Jesus is gone
to heaven but the Holy Ghost is here with us. He’s here to help us claim everything that belongs to Jesus. We are His heirs; joint heirs with Christ. The Bible says in 1Corinthians 2:12,
“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God…”The One with whom we’re dealing owns the whole world. The Holy Ghost is not here to beg anybody. He’s here in the
Name of the Seed of Abraham. Remember, God Almighty willed the whole world to Abraham and to his Seed. The Bible says that the Seed of Abraham is Christ and if you belong to Christ, you are Abraham’s seed and therefore, heirs according to the promise (Galatians 3:29). That’s why I just can’t accept poverty. Nobody is going to hand poverty over to me. I refuse to be described as poor because I am Abraham’s seed and therefore, heirs according to the promise (Galatians 3:29). That’s why I just can’t accept poverty. Nobody is going to hand poverty over to me. I refuse to be described as poor because I’m Abraham’s seed. I know who I am. I’m not an ordinary person; I’m an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ! (Romans 8:17). There’s a place for you in God. It’s a place of health where you have dominion over sickness and disease. It’s a place of
wealth where lack, want and poverty are all aliens. There’s such a place and that’s where I live. Paul describes this ethereal place in Hebrews 12:22:
“But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumer-able company of angels”(Hebrews 12:22).
Every time I meet a brother or sister
who’s from this place, I know it. I’ve seen some of them. I also know those who are still looking for this place. They’re trying to get there but it’s no use, because you ought to be born in there! Many are babies in there and don’t know what it is to live there. Some others have strayed out of there to some other city, but the life in the city I’m talking about is one way only.I read a beautiful story about Smith
Wigglesworth. It was said that he was out when his wife died. When he returned home and was told his wife had died, he said, “She didn’t tell me before she died. How could she die without permission?” He then laid hands on her in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and called her back to life. She woke up and he asked her
why she didn’t inform him she was going to die. She told him it was time for her to go and that she really wanted to go. So he said “It’s alright, but you should have told me.”Then he let her sleep and she was gone.That’s a man from our city! Believe this: When the Holy Spirit comes to live in you, you become His headquarters; His centre of operation. He comes alive in your body and makes it His home. “And be not drunk with wine; wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18).

God is saying to us here that He desires that we receive the infilling of the Holy Spirit, whereby He fills us with all of His fullness. This is done so we can experience His power as He imparts our spirits with the divine enablement to live the victorious Christian life.
“How do I receive the infilling of the
Holy Spirit?” you may ask. There are several ways to receive the infilling of the Holy Spirit. During Apostle Paul’s missionary journey through Asia, he met twelve men in Ephesus, who had not received the Holy Spirit. The Bible records that “…when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues,
and prophesied” (Acts 19:6).This is one of the ways to receive the infilling of the Holy Spirit. Those men had to have someone else, who had received the fullness of the Spirit, lay hands upon
them. If you have not received the infilling of the Holy Spirit, you can have someone (who’s full of the Spirit) lay hands on you and you’ll receive. Another way to receive the Holy Spirit
is by asking in prayer. The Lord said in Luke 11:13, “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?” This means when you ask the Father in faith and in the Name of the Lord Jesus, you will receive the Holy Spirit.

You might be reading this book now and it could be that your grandparents were poor people. In fact, everybody in your family has been poor. Now, here you are on the scene and you can hear every voice telling you, “Hey, you’re already poor; you can’t reach for anything more. You’re poor, you’ve always been poor and you’ll always be poor!” If you have in your life this Person I’m introducing to you, then you will hear His voice in you. He will lead you through the wilderness of life and direct your steps. He will tell you what to do and inspire the right thoughts in you. He will give you an earth- shaking idea. He will show you a vision of what He sees you to be. The Holy Spirit will
set a picture before you and help you journey towards that picture!

1* THE SPIRIT OFTHE LORD

And the spirit of the Lord shall rest
upon him…”
(Isaiah 11:2).
The first of the seven Spirits mentioned by the
prophet Isaiah is the Spirit of the Lord. This is also
known as the Spirit of Lordship or the Spirit of
dominion.
THE ONE WHO “COMES UPON”
Many Christians know little or nothing about
this Spirit. He’s the One Who always “rests upon” or “comes upon.” He’s the One Who anoints you
with power for service. Every time you find Him
described in both the Old and New Testaments,
He always “comes upon.”
The Spirit of the Lord gives you boldness and
the sense of dominion. He puts you in charge of
situations. This was what the prophets of old
needed whenever they stood to declare God’s
Word before kings whom they would ordinarily
have been afraid of. Whenever they needed
boldness to dominate their circumstances or to
speak God’s Word without fear or timidity, the
Spirit of the Lord came upon them and empowered
them.
Often, you’ll read concerning the prophets,
“And the Spirit of the Lord was upon him.” That
was the Spirit of Lordship in operation. He took
charge and the one before whom they stood could
do nothing against them.
He’s the reason Elijah could go around looking
for the notoriously wicked King Ahab to deliver
God’s message of judgment to him. Ahab, on seeing Elijah, exclaimed, “Have you found me, oh
my enemy!”(1 Kings 21:20), and Elijah replied,
“Yes, I’ve found you, for you are the enemy of
Israel. You have sold yourself to work evil in the
sight of the Lord!” (1 Kings 21:20). Elijah could
speak with such boldness because he was inspired
by the Spirit of the Lord.
When God called Moses and sent him to
Pharaoh with the message: “Let my people go!”
he didn’t think he could do it, and he started giving
God excuses. But God’s grace prevailed and the
Spirit of the Lord came upon him. It wasn’t the
signs God showed Moses that gave him boldness
to go before Pharaoh as much as the Spirit of the
Lord that came upon him.
When he got to Pharaoh’s palace, he said,
“Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Let My people
go!”
Pharaoh sneered, “Who is your God?” But
that was the worst he could do. He couldn’t order
Moses’ summary ex*****on, which normally
would have been his immediate response to such effrontery. Moses was moved to challenge him by
the Spirit of the Lord.
When Joshua was about to take over the reins
of leadership of Israel from Moses, it was the Spirit
of the Lord Who assured him and said, “No one
will be able to oppose you as long as you live, for I
will be with you just as I was with Moses; I will not
abandon you or fail to help you” (Joshua 1:5 TLB).
He also told him, “Have I not commanded
you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be
afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is
with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9 NKJV).
He said to Paul, “Don’t be afraid! Speak out!
Don’t quit! For I am with you and no one can harm
you. Many people here in this city belong to me”
(Acts 18:9-10 TLB). This emboldened Paul and he
“…stayed there the next year and a half, teaching
the truths of God” (Acts 18:11).
In the Old Testament, the Spirit of the Lord
came upon a young prophet named Azariah, and
he prophesied God’s Word to the king and the
entire nation: “And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah
the son of Oded: And he went out to meet
Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa,
and all Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is
with you, while ye be with him; and if ye
seek him, he will be found of you; but if
ye forsake him, he will forsake you”
(2 Chronicles 15:1-2).
Azariah and many other prophets stood
before kings and rulers and spoke boldly to
them because the Spirit of the Lord came upon
them. In the New Covenant, Paul tells us “God
hath not given us the spirit of fear (or timidity);
but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind”
(2 Timothy 1:7).
If you’ve received the Holy Spirit to live in
you, you’re no longer ordinary. You have the
boldness of God in you to do anything that is
consistent with His will. That’s what we’ve got,
but many of us haven’t understood or taken
advantage of this, because we haven’t really
walked with the Spirit of the Lord as we should.

THE OPERATIONS OF THE SPIRIT OF LORD ...... .......... ........ ......... ........
There’s a special anointing the Spirit of the
Lord brings with Him. We see this anointing in
operation when He visits prophet Ezekiel:
“…This was the appearance of the likeness
of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw
it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice
of one that spake”
(Ezekiel 1:28).
Ezekiel saw the glory of the Lord and he fell
flat on his face, completely overwhelmed by His
awesome presence. Now watch what happens
next:
“And he said unto me, Son of man, stand
upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.
And the spirit entered into me when he
spake unto me, and set me upon my feet,
that I heard him that spake unto me”
(Ezekiel 2:1-2).
The Lord said, “Get up on your feet, I want to
talk to you,” and Ezekiel recounted that when He
said that, the Spirit entered him and set him on
his feet.
This is a special operation of the Spirit of the
Lord. He wasn’t with Ezekiel before this time, but
when He came, He entered him from the outside
and set him upon his feet. He does that for us from
time to time.
Have you ever been in a state where you
thought you were just too weak and tired to pray?
Still you made an attempt to mumble a few words
of prayer: “Father, I thank You for this day. Thank
You in Jesus’ Name…” and you spoke in tongues a
little. Then you heard the Spirit say, “Get up and
pray!” It sounded rather authoritative, but you
thought to yourself, “God understands I’m really
tired,” and continued mumbling weakly in
tongues. But the next thing you knew, you were
wide awake, pacing the floor, speaking so
powerfully in other tongues, and you didn’t have
a clue how it happened.
That was the Spirit of the Lord at work. He
entered you and set you upon your feet, just as
He did Ezekiel!
You see, it’s because we don’t recognize these
operations of the Spirit and feel we’re the ones
doing them by ourselves that the Spirit of God
doesn’t do much more in our lives. All the time,
we give ourselves the credit and say, “I was very
tired when I started praying, but suddenly I just
felt like getting up to pray and I got up and started
praying.” We fail to acknowledge the Spirit.
Ezekiel was smarter than that. He knew he
couldn’t have gotten up by himself because he
was knocked flat out. He recognized it was the
Spirit of the Lord Who entered him and set him
upon his feet and made him alert so he could hear
the words of the Lord. Glory to God!
In chapter 3 and verse 12, Ezekiel said,
“Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind
me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be
the glory of the Lord from his place.” But notice
that it wasn’t mentioned anywhere before this that the Spirit went out of him after He entered
him in Ezekiel 2:2. He hadn’t gone out of him,
yet He took him up again in Ezekiel 3:12.
There’s another interesting operation of the
Spirit in verse 14:
“So the spirit lifted me up, and took me
away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat
of my spirit; but the hand of the Lord was
strong upon me”
(Ezekiel 3:14).
Ezekiel said the Spirit lifted him up and took
him away. That’s got to be an outside force! The
same Spirit of the Lord that entered into Ezekiel
was still ministering to him from the outside.
A similar event is recorded in the New
Testament in Acts 8:39:
“And when they were come up out of the
water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away
Philip, that the eu**ch saw him no more:
and he went on his way rejoicing.”
Every time you find the rendering “the Spirit
of the Lord” in the New Testament, pay close
attention to it. It didn’t just say here that “the Spirit
caught away Philip,” but “the Spirit of the Lord
caught away Philip.” Remember, Philip was born
again and had the Holy Ghost in him. But this was
another function of the Holy Spirit coming from
outside him.
“The Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip…”
That had to have happened from the outside. He
carried Philip away physically and took him
somewhere else (Acts 8:40). Now, that’s some
power! And that’s the Spirit the Lord was talking
about when He said, “Ye shall receive power, after
that the Holy Ghost is come upon you...” (Acts1:8).

THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD
EMPOWERS YOU ....... ........... ........ ......... .....
Jesus told His disciples, “ye shall receive
power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:
and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in
Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” (Acts 1:8). But
before this time, He had told them to wait in the
city of Jerusalem until they were endued with
power from on high (Luke 24:49).
On the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Ghost
came upon them, they received and were endued
(clothed) with supernatural power to preach and
teach the Word of God. When that happened,
they went out and began to speak, knowing that
the Holy Spirit would impregnate their words with
power to save those who heard them.
Peter knew that power had come. That was
why he could tell the man at the Beautiful Gate,
“Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have
give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth
rise up and walk” (Acts 3:6), and when the man
didn’t respond, he grabbed him by the hand and
lifted him up. Then his ankle bones received
strength and he began to walk. Peter knew he had
power; he knew the Spirit of the Lord was upon him.
Let me remind you that the same Spirit that
was upon Jesus, the Chief Cornerstone, is upon
each one of us living stones. Jesus said in Luke
4:18-19,
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because
he hath anointed me to preach the gospel
to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the
brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to
the captives, and recovering of sight to
the blind, to set at liberty them that are
bruised, To preach the acceptable year of
the Lord.”
Did you catch the point of this? It means
that when the Spirit of the Lord comes upon you,
He anoints you to tell the good news. And when
you tell it, it doesn’t come to your hearers as
mere words but with the divine power and
ability to give life.

GET SOME POWER!......... ...... ....... ....... ..........
Some Christians only know to read their
Bibles, teach, preach, sing, pray, and go their way.
They’re in the “meek and quiet” camp. Child of
God, there’s more to your life than that. You’ve
got to have some power in your life! The Bible says
the Kingdom of God is not in Word only, but in
power also (1 Corinthians 4:20).
There’s nothing as uninspiring as a Christian
who preaches power without demonstrating it.
Paul said, “I didn’t come with words of man’s
wisdom, but in the demonstration of the Spirit and
of power; that your faith shouldn’t stand in the
wisdom of men but in the power of God” (1
Corinthians 2:4). Therefore, get some power; get
to know the Spirit of the Lord!
Many times before I minister, I wait for the
anointing of the Spirit of the Lord to come on me.
When it does, I know more than anybody else that
something has happened. Sometimes, when I’m
praying alone, I can tell like Ezekiel, that the Spirit
of the Lord just entered me. It feels as if His hands and legs have just gone into mine. I can tell it’s
not just me moving anymore, but “Someone”moving in me. I can tell that He wants to lay hands
through me and do mighty things through me. Glory to God.

THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD DEALS
WITH THE STORM......... .......... ....... ......... ............ ........
I was preaching at a crusade sometime in
1985, and that was one of the first times I began
to observe this manifestation of the Spirit. A strong
wind began to blow and it looked like the heavens
were about to come down. The place was sandy,
so the wind raised so much dust and sand and
brought it against the people.
I was grieved in my spirit all the time this was
happening. You know, sometimes you can be
grieved in your spirit about something but you
can’t do anything about it yet, because you don’t
want to do something dumb. I kept thinking to
myself, What’s going on? What am I going to do about this?

Some people were trying to shield themselves
from the billowing dust. Others started going away
because it was so cloudy. It was obvious there was
going to be a heavy downpour. By this time my
jacket was already flying in the wind, but I kept
on preaching and many tried to listen.
Then suddenly, that unction came and I
uttered some words. I only remember that the
people started clapping but I didn’t know what I
said until I later heard it on the tape. I said “Wind,
not this way. Turn around and go that way!” When I spoke those words, I saw the wind turn 180
degrees and go in the other direction. Calmreturned, the people were able to receive the message, and we had a glorious meeting.

MIRACLES HAPPEN BY THE SPIRIT
OF THE LORD........ ................ ........... .........
I remember another incident in 1986. I was preaching at a meeting and there was this crippled
young man sitting in the front row with his crutches beside him. I had just started preaching and hadn’t quite gone ten minutes into my
message when, suddenly, I was full of the Spirit.
I hadn’t planned to do this, and I hadn’t even
thought about it, but right in the middle of my
message, I turned abruptly to that crippled fellow,
got hold of him and said, “Walk, in Jesus’ Name!”
I pulled him up, and he started walking! Of course,
everybody was shouting, rejoicing and praising
God to the high heavens. We went on that night
and had more miracles and manifestations of the
Spirit.
That’s what happens when the Spirit of the
Lord takes over. You don’t think about it. You
don’t reason it out and wonder, What am I going
to do now? He just moves you to act.
When He caught Philip away, He didn’t wait
for him to prepare specially for it. Philip didn’t havethe time to announce to the eu**ch who was withhim, “Now I’m about to journey to Azotus.
Nobody knows I’m going there, but I know I am!”
No, he wasn’t squeezing out faith. The Spirit ofthe Lord just caught him and took him away .

HE’S NOT A STILL, SMALL VOICE........ ........ ....... ......... .........

When the Spirit of the Lord comes upon you,you may not be talking but you’ll start seeingthings. There’ll be a new boldness in your soul.
That’s what the prophet Micah meant when hesaid, “I am full of power by the spirit of the Lord,
and of judgment, and of might, to declare untoJacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin” (Micah3:8).
Some think of the Spirit of the Lord as “a still,small voice.” That’s because they don’t know Him.
He’s not a still, small voice; He’s the Spirit ofdominion.
He welled up in Paul when Elymas thesorcerer challenged him, and the Bible tells us that
“Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of theLord), glared angrily at the sorcerer and said, You
son of the devil, full of every sort of trickery andvillainy, enemy of all that is good, will you never
end your opposition to the Lord? And now Godhas laid his hand of punishment upon you, and you will be stricken awhile with blindness. Instantlymist and darkness fell upon him, and he beganwandering around begging for someone to takehis hand and lead him” (Acts 13:8-11 TLB).Now that doesn’t sound like a still, smallvoice, does it.?

PREPARE YOURSELF FOR HIM........... ....... ........... ....... .........
Some say when you pray hard enough that’swhen the power comes. No, it’s got nothing to dowith praying hard but everything to do with yourhunger. You see, the Holy Spirit doesn’t forceHimself on anybody. The question is: How muchdo you want Him?
If you want Him, He will fill you. He nevergoes where He’s not wanted, except when Heshows up to enforce a change or bring judgment.
Remember, He’s Boss, so we don’t stir Him up.
We don’t shake Him up to get Him to do things.
Instead we prepare for Him. The Bible says ifyou’re a vessel that’s prepared, you’ll be ready andfit for the Master’s use (2 Timothy 2:21). God wants to use you, but He wants you to
be ready for Him. He wants you to be cleansed,separated, and sanctified. Then you’ll be ready forHim to use you.

Discover the secrets to living the supernatural life ... Naturally , in yet another riveting masterpieces on the Holy Spirit, Chris Oyakhilome unveils to you new depths of His power and operation in the life of the believer. "The seven Spirits of God- divine secrets to the miraculous" teaches you , (1) what " the seven Spirits of God " means (2) who " the seven spirits of God " are (3) why you must have Them...

When you hear or read the title, “The
Seven Spirits of God” for the first time, the first
question that will likely come up in your mind is,
Does this mean God has seven Holy Spirits?
The Bible does show that there are “Seven
Spirits of God.” It however behooves us to
understand exactly what this means and how it
applies to us in the New Covenant.
To start with, the number Seven (7) is regarded
by the Hebrew people as a sacred number, and
throughout the Bible it is used to symbolize
perfection, fullness, abundance, rest, and completion. The “Seven Spirits of God” therefore
implies a “completeness” or “fullness” of the Holy
Spirit, and this fullness of the Spirit is what every
Christian ought to have, for it is our birthright.
One time, a highly-revered minister (whom I
also hold in very high regard) said something
many believers have accepted: that only Jesus
didn’t have the Holy Spirit by measure, but every
one of us born again, Spirit-filled believers has the
Spirit by measure.
Well, I don’t buy that because it’s not in the
Bible! The reason many Christians have accepted
this is that they don’t understand the
manifestations and capabilities of the Holy Spirit.
They figure that the only way He can spread
Himself throughout the whole world is to be in
Jesus fully and in each of us in smaller measures.
The truth, however, is that when you were born
again and you received the Holy Ghost, you didn’t
receive Him in a measure; you received all of Him!

THE SPIRIT WITHOUT MEASURE
.....................................................
When the Spirit of God came upon Moses,
Samson, Samuel, David, Isaiah and all of God’s
prophets, priests, judges, and kings of old, they
received the anointing in a measure. But the Bible
says of Jesus, “For he whom God hath sent
speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the
Spirit by measure unto him” (John 3:34). Jesus was
the first who didn’t have the Spirit of God (or the
anointing) by measure but in His fullness.
This same Jesus, Who had the fullness of God’s
Spirit, said to His disciples just before He ascended
into heaven, “...as my Father hath sent me, even so
send I you” (John 20:21). Now think about it: If
Jesus required the full measure of the Spirit to do
the work the Father sent Him, and He has sent us
the same way He was sent of the Father, why then
should we be sent with a measure and not the
fullness of the Spirit?
Moreover, Jesus said in John 14:12, “Truly,
truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works
When the Spirit of God came upon Moses,
Samson, Samuel, David, Isaiah and all of God’s
prophets, priests, judges, and kings of old, they
received the anointing in a measure. But the Bible
says of Jesus, “For he whom God hath sent
speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the
Spirit by measure unto him” (John 3:34). Jesus was
the first who didn’t have the Spirit of God (or the
anointing) by measure but in His fullness.
This same Jesus, Who had the fullness of God’s
Spirit, said to His disciples just before He ascended
into heaven, “...as my Father hath sent me, even so
send I you” (John 20:21). Now think about it: If
Jesus required the full measure of the Spirit to do
the work the Father sent Him, and He has sent us
the same way He was sent of the Father, why then
should we be sent with a measure and not the
fullness of the Spirit?
Moreover, Jesus said in John 14:12, “Truly,
truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater {works} than
these he will do; because I go to the Father” (NASB).
How shall we do the same works that Jesus
did, and even greater works, if all we have is a
measure of the Spirit He had while He was here
on earth?
But thank God, we are joint-heirs with Christ
Jesus (Romans 8:17). That means we have the same
anointing that Jesus had. The whole Holy Ghost,
not a part or a measure of Him, is in us, praise
God! Through this book, I seek not only to stir in
you a strong desire for this fullness of the Spirit,
but also to impart to you the revelation knowledge
you require to activate it in your life.
It’s my strong belief and sincere prayer that
through the teachings and revelations that will
come to your spirit as you read this book, you’ll
discover a new and deeper dimension of the Holy
Ghost. You’ll be able to operate in His fullness
always, and you’ll walk in the miraculous and the
supernatural consistently.


THE SEVEN SPIRITS SPIRITS .......................................................
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...”
(Isaiah 11:1-4).
Jesus is the Rod that Isaiah prophesied would
come from the stem of Jesse. Jesse was the father
of David, and Jesus described Himself as the root
and the offspring of David (Revelations 22:16).
That’s because He’s the Root from which David
came forth, but He also came to earth physically
from David’s lineage as his offspring. That’s why
He was severally addressed in the synoptic gospels
as the Son of David.
Isaiah prophesied concerning Him and said
when He comes, He would be so full of the Holy
Ghost, Who would make Him of quick
understanding in the fear of the Lord. As a result,
He would not judge according to His sight, neither
would He reprove after the hearing of His ears,
but would judge the poor and the meek with
righteousness and equity (Isaiah 11:3-4).
However, what I really want you to observe is
the description Isaiah gives of the Spirit upon Jesus. 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;”
(Isaiah 11:2).
This is teaching us something special about
the Holy Ghost. If you speed-read through this
portion of Scripture without studying it carefully,
you won’t understand it. But by revelation, you
can see God showing us through this and several
other Scriptures that there are indeed seven Spirits
of God.
The Scriptures, in several places, speak of the
Spirit as the seven eyes, the seven Spirits, or the
seven lamps. These we would see shortly...,

SEVEN INDEPENDENT
MANIFESTATIONS OF THE SPIRIT..........................................................
In Isaiah 11:2, seven distinct ‘Spirits’ are
mentioned. These are:
1*The Spirit of the Lord
2*The Spirit of Wisdom
3*The Spirit of Understanding
4*The Spirit of Counsel
5*The Spirit of Might
6*The Spirit of Knowledge
7*The Spirit of the Fear of the Lord.

All of these seven Spirits are really one Holy
Spirit in different manifestations. The same term,
“seven Spirits” is also used to portray Him in
Revelation 1:4, Revelation 4:5, and Revelation 5:6.
Revelation 1:4:
“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; Revelation 4:5:
“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.”
Revelation 5:6:
“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.”
The seven Spirits of God refer to seven
independent manifestations of the Holy Spirit. This
is, however, not the same as when we say the
Godhead is made up of three Persons. The Trinity
is a different phenomenon altogether. Each
member of the Godhead—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—is a distinct personality with peculiar
characteristics and attributes.
In the seven Spirits of God, we’re dealing with
one Person (the Holy Spirit) and the seven ways
in which He operates and manifests Himself. We’re
talking about “the sevenfold Holy Spirit of God.”
You’ll find this term in The Amplified Bible
translation of Revelation 1:4:
“John to the seven assemblies (churches)
that are in Asia: May grace (God’s
unmerited favor) be granted to you and
spiritual peace (the peace of Christ’s
kingdom) from Him Who is and Who was
and Who is to come, and from the seven
Spirits [the sevenfold Holy Spirit] before
His throne,”
This verse is quite striking. It’s not talking about
seven separate personalities, but seven separate
and independent manifestations of the Holy Spirit
in the life of the believer, which is indicative of
the fullness of the Spirit.
Isaiah’s prophetic words about these seven
Spirits of God may not be immediately understood
until you read other portions of the Bible.
Zechariah, another Old Testament prophet, helps
shed more light on “the seven Spirits.”
“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”
(Zechariah 3:9).
Keep in mind what Zechariah says here that
“Upon one stone shall be seven eyes.”
Zechariah 4:10:
“For who hath despised the day of small
things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see
the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel
with those seven; they are the eyes of the
Lord, which run to and fro through the
whole earth.” He said upon one stone shall be seven eyes.
Here, in verse 10 of chapter 4, Zechariah refers to
those seven eyes upon one stone as the eyes of
the Lord, which run to and fro throughout the
whole earth.
Revelation 5:6:
“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.”
All three portions of Scripture quoted above
speak of one thing—the seven Spirits of God, or
put otherwise, the sevenfold Holy Ghost and His
operations.
Revelation 1:4 and Revelation 4:5 tell us more
about this:
“John, to the seven churches which are
in Asia: 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…”
“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.”
There it is again: “The seven Spirits.”
Remember that Zechariah prophesied that upon
one stone shall be seven eyes. The Stone he was
talking about was the same one he referred to as
the Branch in Zechariah 3:8 and Zechariah 6:12.
Isaiah also called Him the Branch (Isaiah 11:1).
This means the Branch is the same One called the
Stone, which is the Christ.
Over in the New Testament, Peter calls Him
“the Living Stone” and “the Chief Cornerstone.”
1 Peter 2:3-6:
“If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is
gracious. To whom coming, as unto a
living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also,
as lively stones, are built up a spiritual
house, an holy priesthood, to offer up
spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by
Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained
in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a
chief corner stone, elect, precious: and
he that believeth on him shall not be
confounded.”
Jesus is the Stone, and we also are living stones
formed from and fashioned after Him. Observe
again what Zechariah said: “Upon one stone shall
be seven eyes.” Notice he didn’t say, “Upon the
stone” but “upon one stone,” meaning there are
other stones, and upon each of the stones will be
seven eyes.
Peter also said He (Jesus) is the Chief
Cornerstone and we also are living stones. Each
of us in His presence is a stone.
Again, remember that He is called the Branch,
and He said, “I am the Vine, and ye are the
branches.” That’s talking about us. We’re the branches of the Branch; we’re living stones and
upon each of us should be seven eyes, which are
the seven Spirits of God.

WHY THE SEVEN SPIRITS?............... ............... ......... ...........
When the Bible talks about the Holy Ghost
as the seven Spirits of God, what it implies is the
fullness of the Spirit, which you may or may not
have in your life.
In Ephesians 5:18, Paul charges us, “Be not
drunk with wine wherein is excess but be filled
with the Spirit.” The mere fact that he instructs us
to be filled with the Spirit presupposes that we’re
not always filled with the Spirit. If we were, he
would have said, “For ye are filled with the Spirit.”
When the Holy Ghost comes to live in you,
He’ll always be in you. Jesus said He’ll abide with
you forever (John 14:16), but that’s not to say
you’ll always have His fullness. When you have
less than the seven Spirits of God manifested in
you, it means you don’t have the fullness of the
Spirit. However, God wants us always to be filled with the Spirit. He wants us to have the fullness of
the Spirit in us, and we can, because it belongs to
us!
John 3:34 tells us Jesus received the Spirit
without measure, which means all seven Spirits of
God dwelt in Him. He had the fullness of the
Godhead dwelling in Him bodily, and Paul lets us
know we are complete in Him Who is the Head of
all principality and power (Colossians 2:9-10).
Thus, every child of God ought to have the
fullness of the Spirit. None of us should have the
Spirit with measure. When Paul charged us to “be
filled with the Spirit,” he was talking about this
completeness or fullness of the Spirit.
Revelation 5:6 declares that all seven Spirits
of God have been sent forth into all the earth. This
means every Christian who has received the Holy
Spirit actually has these seven Spirits of God
dwelling in him, more so because Zechariah
prophesied that upon each stone shall be seven
eyes and these seven eyes are the seven Spirits ofGod.
However, to receive the Spirit, and to have
Him fully manifested in your life are two different
things altogether. It’s great to know that we can
have these seven Spirits, but more importantly, we
need to know what they do for us and how to walk
in them. That’s because until the Lord manifests
Himself in your life fully through these seven
Spirits, you’ll never enjoy the best of Christianity,
which is the life of the supernatural and the
miraculous.
