7 more days!!!

The Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation

This is the topic of one of 3 essays that is due of the Bible class that I’m taking. As I was typing the essay I was struck by something.

Ephesians 1:17“I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ…may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.”(Paul’s prayer for the believers at Ephesus)

Isaiah 11:2“The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him- the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and power, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord-“(a prophecy about the Lord, Jesus)

Revelation 4:5 “…Before the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God.” (John’s vision of the throne of God)

. In all of the above Scriptures, we read about seven spirits and are told about those seven spirits are. (This is not a big theological something, I promise!! Jgave up on big theological ‘somethings’ a while back and am more into falling in love with the King who relentlessly pursues me!!!) Back to what I was saying. The thing that struck me about these Scriptures is the unity of God. He blends everything and everyone together in a way that is beautiful, right and pleasing to Him. The different, ‘spirits or anointing’ mentioned above work together in perfect and beautiful unity; the Father, Son, and Spirit dwell together and work together; the Lord Jesus prayed that we, His disciples would be one just as He and the Father are one. ..God delights in unity; not in holding hands because someone told us to, but in dwelling together, loving, living working in a beautiful harmony that reflects Him and allows Him to do His work. Unity isn’t this cheesy, fake thing; no its’ a powerful, beautiful, very God-like thing that I am just beginning to learn about….and so ready to learn so much more about…

Psalm 133

“How good and pleasant it is

when brothers live together in unity!

It is like precious oil poured on the head,

running down on Aaron’s beard,

down upon the collar of his robes.

It is as if the dew Hermon were falling on Mount Zion.

For there the Lord bestows his blessing,

even life forevermore.”
