The Holy Spirit is revealing Himself to you and I. He is not only revealing the heart of the Father, and the voice of the Son, He is showing us His nature. What a privilege! To be more acquainted with the Holy Spirit is our desire! I strongly encourage you to listen to this session. Here are a few overviews and highlights:
Jesus said, “The Holy Spirit is the ONE who gives life, that which is of the natural realm is no help. The words I speak to you are Spirit and Life.” John 6:63 TPT
Life flows from Him to you. He is the One who ignites our lives, within, with a holy fire. We long in our spirit’s to be ablaze with Truth. We long to be like Jesus.
Jesus said, “I have come as a LIGHT to shine in this dark world so that all who trust in Me will no longer wander in darkness.” John 12:46 TPT
Jesus is a burning flame of truth.
The Holy Spirit speaks through Romans 12:11-12, “Be aglow with the Holy Spirit!”(TPT) or “Don’t burn out, keep yourselves fueled and aflame! (MSG). 1 Thessalonians 5:19 also says, “Never restrain or put out the fire of the Holy Spirit”. The fire of the Holy Spirit burning within you is important to God, it should be important to us.
The truth is, as a believer, you are either diminishing or growing in the fire of God. To grow in the fire of God is to allow the fullness of God to invade your life. Experience Him!
We become so united to the truth, so immersed in who He says we are, our lives become the promise.
“We become His poetry (written by God: we become all He says we are). We are a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny He has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. …Now, because we are united to Christ, we have equal and direct access to the realm of the Holy Spirit before the Father.” Ephesians 2:10,18
Equal and Direct access! Did you catch that?
“Now is the time to be made new by every revelation that has been given to you. (It is time!) Be transformed as you embrace this new life in union with Jesus Christ. For God re-created you in His perfect righteousness and you now belong to Him in the realm of true holiness (or in the Holy Spirit’s realm).” Ephesians 4:24 TPT
Grow in the fire! Allow the fullness to invade your life! A new life, a new realm, a new reality is available to you. Now is the time.
Jesus said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven” (Matthew 5:3). The poor in spirit are those who have relied on the poverty of their own spirit to live life. Man’s determination and effort leads to emptiness and death. But a new realm has been released! God’s wealth has been release to us through Jesus. God’s wealth is Himself, His gift of holiness, His wisdom and His voice, His authority and His strength. He is Lord of all! The Holy Spirit is the One who beautifully distributes this wealth.
Jesus told us that when we receive the Holy Spirit, He releases power from on high!
Where is the “On High”? Here:
“The kindness of God’s grace and peace overflow to you from Him who is, and Who was, and Who is coming, and from the Seven Spirits who are in front of His throne, and from Jesus Christ the Faithful Witness, the First born from among the dead and the ruling King, who now rules over the Kings of the earth!” Revelations 1:4 TPT
The Seven Spirits?
“Instantly I was taken up into the spirit realm, and behold- I saw a heavenly throne set in place and Someone seated upon it. His appearance was sparkling like crystal and glowing like a carnelian gemstone (blood red). Surrounding the throne was a circle of green light, like an emerald rainbow…pulsing from the throne were blinding flashes of lightning, crashes of thunder, and voices. And burning before the throne are seven blazing torches, which represent the Seven Spirits of God.” Revelations 4:2-6 TPT
The one Holy Spirit…the Seven Spirits of God. How do we understand this?
This is the seven-fold spirit of the Holy Spirit. Our God is ONE and He expresses Himself in three: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We were made in His image and we are one, expressing ourselves in three: spirit, soul, and body. Jesus is like us, having a spirit, soul, and body but also part of the Godhead(This is why He is so special). The Holy Spirit is not a man (John 4:24). The Holy Spirit is One and expresses Himself in seven.
These seven Spirits are the seven flames that burn as one.
On the day of Pentecost in Acts 2, we know that “tongues of fire separated and rested on them and they were filled with the Holy Spirit”. Other translations say “divided tongues of fire”. In each flame we find the fullness of a part of the Holy Spirit, a fullness of a gift. In each flame we find a part or different dimension which contains a God-possible reality.
The seven fold Spirit of God is a seven part illuminating influence over God’s people.
What are the Seven Parts? We find them in the prophetic word about Jesus from Isaiah 11:2-3.
“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— and he will delight in the fear of the Lord.” Isaiah 11:2-3 NIV
Jesus was given these flames and now, you have been given these flames as the Spirit releases them to you. They reveal the Father in His glory and kindness, they give access to His manifest Presence, they identify us as His own, they restore our relationship (intimacy) with God, they give us power to walk closely with the Spirit, they bring us into the power Jesus told us to go with into all the world.
Receive the fullness of the Seven-fold Spirit and you will be filled with the full measure of the fullness of Christ.
Our part is to receive. He gives us more than we can imagine. “How much more will the Perfect Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit’s fullness when His childeren ask Him?!" (Luke 11:3)
