THE OUTPOURING OF THE 7 SPIRITS OF GOD, PART 1

THE OUTPOURING OF THE 7 SPIRITS OF GOD, PART 1

Text:           Revelation 5:1-6

1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

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.

Introduction

I have had opportunities, by the grace of God, to witness some elections in Nigeria. Of all the elections I have witnessed, one thing that I have found to be common is the way electioneering campaigns were done.

The political parties would always start their campaigns slowly, in trickles, and then progressed heavily like torrential rains as the election day approached. Then, they would bombard every nook and cranny with their campaign materials – posters, banners, souvenirs and more. All the electronic, print and social media would become inundated with campaign adverts and jingles. All available campaign resources in their storage had to be poured out at the electorates in a last minute effort to win their votes by all means

This is the most logical thing to do in every electioneering campaign because once the election is conducted; no campaign can be done again. And all the campaign materials you failed to use will not be useful anymore. Campaign after election is useless.

In a similar manner, God is pouring out all the resources in His arsenals upon all men, women, young and old, trying to win their souls to Himself as the day of rapture approaches. Once rapture takes place, the door of grace will be closed and no any tangible soul-winning effort can take place again.

To this end, God is pouring out His campaign materials, which includes, vision, dreams, prophecies, revelations and angels. Principal among the outpouring of God, at this end-time, is His Seven Spirits of God.

This teaching is meant to expound what the Seven Spirits are meant for, why God has to pour Him, and how we can be a partaker of Him.

Jesus Christ, The Owner of The Seven Spirits of God

Revelation 5:6                                                                              

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.

From the scripture above, the following points are to be noted

-1. There was a slain Lamb that had Seven Eyes and Seven Horns.

This Lamb is the Lamb of God who was slain for the sins of the world and His name is Jesus Christ.

-2. The Seven Eyes and Seven Horns are the Seven Spirits of God.

-3. Jesus Christ is the owner of the Seven Spirits.

-4. The Seven Spirits are sent forth into all the earth.

Are there Seven Different Holy Spirits or One?

Let there be no confusion, the Spirit of God is One Spirit. However, He can pour Himself out upon anyone principally in seven major diverse manifestations. This is why He is referred to as the Seven Spirits of God.

Let us consider the scripture below.

1 Corinthians 12:7-11                                                                 

7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

9  To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

10  To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

From the underlined words from the scripture above, we can see that Holy Spirit can pour Himself out in wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing and diverse manners but is the One and Selfsame Spirit, The Holy Spirit of God; and not seven different types of Spirit.

Seven Physical Manifestation/Depiction of The Holy Spirit in the Bible

The Holy Spirit either physically manifested or is physically depicted in many ways in the Bible. However, the followings are the seven principal ways that the Holy Spirit physically manifested or is the depicted in the bible.

-1. As Cloud

Exodus_13:21                                                                                    

21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:

Exodus 19:16                                                                                

16And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.

-2. As Fire

Exodus_13:21                                                                                              

21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:

Act 2:3                                                                                               

3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 

Act 2:4  And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 

The Holy Ghost manifested physically to Moses and the Israelites as both Cloud and Fire, and also as Fire to the disciples on the day of Pentecost.

-3. As Wind

John 3:8                                                                                              

3 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Act 2:1-4                                                                                             

1  And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 

2  And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 

3  And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 

4  And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 

The Lord, Jesus Christ, introduced the Holy Ghost as Wind and the Holy Ghost also physically manifested to the disciples as mighty rushing Wind at Pentecost.

- 4. As Oil

2Kings 4:3-6                                                                                      

 3  Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. 

4  And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.

5  So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out. 

6  And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed. 

The encounter, here, between Elisha and the widow is a physical prophetic representation of how God shall fill His servants with the Holy Ghost till they overflow.

The empty vessels, here, represent those God calls to be His servant. They are always empty when God calls them. Then, they are anointed with oil till it run over them the way the empty vessels are filled by the widow, till they overflowed. This represents the filling of the empty vessels with oil. And then, they are filled with the Spirit of God to the full.

         

Psalm 23:5                                                                                          

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Mathew 25:2-4                                                                               

2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

-5. As Wine

John 2:7-10                                                                                         

7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.

9  When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

This miracle performed by the Lord, Jesus Christ, was a physical prophetic depiction of how God shall fill His servants with Holy Spirit to the full in the end-times and that latter anointing shall be better than the former one.

Can you notice the comment of the governor in verse 10 that the common practice was to bring out the best wine at the beginning of an event, and then to bring out the bad ones at the end. But what Jesus did was contrary. He brought out the best wine at the end.

By this, a prophetic depiction of the greatest outpouring of the Holy Ghost at the end-time was being given.

Can you notice that, as was with the pot of oil in 2 Kings 4:3-6, the pot of water was also filled to the brim?

Consider the scripture below which talks about the breaking of one of the seven seals of the book of revelation.

Revelation 6:5-6                                                                           

5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

When the black horse was released, it was commanded by God not to hurt the oil and the wine. These oil and wine, two of the physical depiction of the Holy Spirit, represent those who will be filled the seven Spirits of God, at the end. They will not be hurt. God will give them a special protection from the black horse and its rider.

-6. As Dove

                                                                                       

Mathew 3:16-17                                                                                 

16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 

17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

-7. As Water/River

John 4:13-14                                                                                         

13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

Ezekiel 47:3-5                                                                               

3 And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.

4 Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters wereto the loins.

5 Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.

The first scripture depicts the Holy Spirit as water springing from within a believer, while the second scripture depicts the Holy Ghost as a river and the different levels to which the depth of a river can reach in a man -the ankles, the knees and the waist represent the different degrees to which a person can be filled with the Holy Ghost.

Ultimately the river can be so big that it can even submerge a person and carry him away. This represents how that a person can be filled with the Holy Ghost to the full that it is now the Holy Spirit that moves the man the way the Holy Spirit wants. This is the same way the river carries a submerged man anyway and anyhow.

For now, we will not be able to dig deeper into the details of these physical depictions as regards the personality of the Holy Spirit.

The Seven Spiritual Manifestations of The Spirit of God

It has just been mentioned above that the Holy Spirit is the Selfsame and only One Spirit of God and not seven different holy spirits. The seven physical depictions of the Holy Ghost were also mentioned.

Now, let us highlight the seven major spiritual manifestation of the Holy Ghost.

Isaiah 11:1-3                                                                                

1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

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 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:

From the scripture, again, the following Seven Spirits can be highlighted.

-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

By these highlighted seven spirits of God above, we mean that when the Holy Spirit pours Himself upon a person, for instance, the manifestation can be in wisdom. When this happens then the Holy Spirit has poured Himself upon that person as Spirit of Wisdom. The same goes for the rest of the seven Spirits of God.

This analysis agrees with Revelation 5:6 which tells about a Slain Lamb (Jesus Christ) having Seven Spirits on Him.

Revelation 5:6                                                                              

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.

Summary

We have shown that the seven Spirits of God are the seven spiritual manifestations of the same One and Only Spirit of God, and not seven different Holy Spirit. The seven different manifestations were mentioned together with the seven different physical depiction of the Holy Spirit.

Lastly, we were able to show that the outpouring of these seven Spirits of God is reserved for this end-time.

Conclusion

The Holy Spirit of God is being poured out as promised by God. Anyone that is born again and willing to use the seven Spirits of God for what purpose He is poured out for, will receive from the outpouring.
