Sonship & the Seven Spirits of God

advertisement

It is important to understand the biblical promise for fullness and
Sonship before we can broach the subject of the seven spirits of
God. Why understand the Seven Spirits of God if we do not have a
belief that we can possess them.

Then we must understand the timing. Are we living in the age
promised to inherit this destiny?

We must see our biblical right to believe for this manifestation.

Can we expect to do the works Jesus did with any less of a
manifestation of His Spirit.

What do the Old Testament types and shadows point to that match
our New Testament promises?

We can examine the lives of the forerunners and get a picture of
what this life in God looks like.

We do not preach prophetic messages from where we are but
where we can be. We set a vision in front of the people and
someone will apprehend it.
Sonship & The Seven Spirits of God

Matthew 3:16-17—After being baptized, Jesus came
up immediately from the water; and behold, the
heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God
descending as a dove and lighting on Him, and
behold, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is My
beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased.“

Romans 8:19—For [even the whole] creation (all
nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for
God's sons [huios] to be made known [waits for the
revealing, the disclosing of their sonship]. AMP
Huios Sons are Led by the Spirit

Mark 1:10-12—Immediately coming up out of
the water, He saw the heavens opening, and
the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him;
and a voice came out of the heavens: "You are
My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased.
Immediately the Spirit impelled Him to go out
into the wilderness.
Fulfilling Isaiah’s Prophecy

Isaiah 11:1-2 –Then a shoot will spring from the stem
of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will bear fruit.
The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him, the spirit of
wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and
might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the
LORD.

John 14:10 –Do you not believe that I am in the
Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say
to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the
Father abiding in Me does His works.

John 20:21-22—So Jesus said to them again, "Peace
be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send
you.“ And when He had said this, He breathed on
them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.
Earnest Vrs Fullness
Ephesians 1:13-14—In Him, you also, after listening to
the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation-having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the
Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our
inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God's
own possession, to the praise of His glory.

Pledge/Earnest= arrhabon (ar-hrab-ohn'); of Hebrew
origin; a pledge, i.e. part of the purchase-money or
property given in advance as security for the rest:

I John 3:2—Beloved, now we are children [teknon] of
God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be.
We know that when He appears, we will be like Him,
because we will see Him just as He is.

Living Beyond Until

Ephesians 4:11-13—And He gave some as apostles,
and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and
some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of
the saints for the work of service, to the building up of
the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of
the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to
a mature man, to the measure of the stature which
belongs to the fullness of Christ.

Daniel 7:21-22—I kept looking, and that horn was
waging war with the saints and overpowering them
until the Ancient of Days came and judgment was
passed in favor of the saints of the Highest One, and
the time arrived when the saints took possession of
the kingdom.

Galatians 4:1-5—Now I say, as long as the heir is a
child, he does not differ at all from a slave
although he is owner of everything, but he is
under guardians and managers until the date
set by the father. So also we, while we were
children, were held in bondage under the
elemental things of the world. But when the
fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son,
born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He
might redeem those who were under the Law, that
we might receive the adoption as sons.

Romans 11:25—For I do not want you, brethren, to
be uninformed of this mystery-- so that you will
not be wise in your own estimation-- that a partial
hardening has happened to Israel until the
fullness of the Gentiles has come in;
The Greater Works

John 14:11-17—Believe Me that I am in the Father and the
Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works
themselves. 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. Whatever you ask
in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified
in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.

If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. I will ask the
Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be
with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world
cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but
you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.
Moving Beyond Pentecost

Leviticus 23:16-17—You shall count fifty days
to the day after the seventh sabbath; then you
shall present a new grain offering to the LORD.
You shall bring in from your dwelling places
two loaves of bread for a wave offering, made
of two-tenths of an ephah; they shall be of a
fine flour, baked with leaven as first fruits to
the LORD.

Only Feast that allowed Leaven. Time now to
put away corruption and move into fullness.
Zerubbabel—A Type of Christ

Zerubbabel=seed of Babylon or on sown in Babylon

A legend preserved in the apocryphal book of 1 Esdras describes the young

Zerubbabel as one of the wisest men in the Persian Empire, in a story reminiscent of
the prophet Daniel. According to chapter 3:1-5:3 of this work, Zerubbabel and two
other young guardsmen-courtiers of King Darius—agree to engage in a public
dispute over the question of what is the strongest thing in the kingdom. The king
approves of this contest and declares that the winner of the debate will receive great
honor and royal favors.
The first contestant holds that wine is the strongest thing in the kingdom, because
"it leads astray the minds of all who drink it. It makes equal the mind of the king and
the orphan, of the slave and the free, of the poor and the rich." The second debater
declares that men are the strongest, ruling over both land and sea; but he
flatteringly adds that the king is even stronger, because "he is their lord and master,
and whatever he says to them they obey." Zerubbabel then ironically argues that it
is women who are strongest, since they give birth to men and kings alike, and men
leave their mothers and fathers to serve women. He then adds that truth is even
stronger than women: "The whole earth calls upon truth, and heaven blesses her….
Truth endures and is strong for ever, and lives and prevails for ever and ever.“
The king concurs with Zerubbabel and, at the young Jew's request, appoints him to
lead a wave of Jewish exiles from Babylon to Jerusalem to complete the restoration
of the Temple. Zerubbabel is also given sanction to return the sacred vessels that
the king had preserved.
The Plumbline and the Seven Spirits

Zechariah 4:10-11 –For who has despised the day of small
things? But these seven will be glad when they see the plumb
line in the hand of Zerubbabel-- these are the eyes of the LORD
which range to and fro throughout the earth. Then I said to
him, "What are these two olive trees on the right of the
lampstand and on its left?"

Revelations 4:5—Out from the throne come flashes of lightning
and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were seven lamps
of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of
God;

Zechariah 6:12-13 – "Then say to him, "Thus says the LORD of
hosts, "Behold, a man whose name is Branch, for He will
branch out from where He is; and He will build the temple of
the LORD. "Yes, it is He who will build the temple of the LORD,
and He who will bear the honor and sit and rule on His throne.
Thus, He will be a priest on His throne, and the counsel of
peace will be between the two offices."'
From Frances Metcalfe

I saw that hitherto I had been an “eagle-saint” a
prayer wait-er and warrior. I was now to be changed
into a dove-saint. (The doves typifying the company
who shall ascend and descend and finally be
translated.)

I was also reminded of the descent of the Holy Ghost,
in the form of a dove, upon our Lord at His baptism in
the Jordan River. At that time the Father spoke out of
heaven: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased.” (Matthew 3:17)

I saw that the dove was a symbol of Sonship, of purity
and of sacrifice—as well as of the Holy Spirit.
God is Stirring the Remnant

Haggai 1:14—So the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of
Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak,
the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they
came and worked on the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,

Haggai 2:21-23—"Speak to Zerubbabel governor of Judah, saying, "I am
going to shake the heavens and the earth. I will overthrow the thrones of
kingdoms and destroy the power of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will
overthrow the chariots and their riders, and the horses and their riders will
go down, everyone by the sword of another.‘ On that day,' declares the
LORD of hosts, "I will take you, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, My servant,'
declares the LORD, "and I will make you like a signet ring for I have chosen
you,"' declares the LORD of hosts.
In all of this Zerubbabel was a type of Christ. Servant of the Lord, chosen of
Him, and set as signet or seal upon the hand of the Father—the express
image of His Person. (Hebrews 1:3
The Spirit of the Lord
Isaiah 11:2—The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him, the
spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of
counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and the
fear of the LORD.

Fulfillment of the Redemptive Names of
Jehovah in the Person of Jesus

JEHOVAH-JIREH — The Lord will provide.
Genesis 22.14
BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD - (JOHN 1:29)
MY GOD SHALL PROVIDE...ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY BY
CHRIST JESUS (PHIL. 4:19)
His pre-vision means His pro-vision which is what is meant by His combined name
that Abraham gave to the place where He found the ram provided as a substitute for
Isaac. This miracle was not of a normal significance but rather was a creative miracle
by God for the sacrifice in the same sense that the Lord created a body through the
miraculous conception for the substitute sacrifice for man.

JEHOVAH-ROPHI— The Lord our Healer/Physician. Exodus 15.26
HE HEALED ALL MANNER OF SICKNESS AND DISEASE. (MATT. 11:45)
From Israel we learn that in times of sickness God heals, for He is our Jehovah Rophi, "I
am Jehovah thy healer". To express God's grace in restoring spirit life, He declared
that He healed all of our diseases, spiritual as well as physical. (Psalms 103:3)

JEHOVAH-NISSI— The Lord our Banner. EXODUS
17:15-16
BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF
THE LORD. (Matt. 21:9)

Moses took care that God should have the glory for the victory over Amalek.
Instead of setting up a trophy in the honor of Joshua, though it had been a
standard policy to put marks of honor upon men, rather he built an altar to
the honor of God. What is most carefully recorded is the inscription upon
the altar, Jehovah-Nissi - The Lord my banner. The presence and power of
Jehovah were the banner under which they enlisted, by which they were
animated and kept together.
Jehovah Nissi in literal Hebrew means "A hand upon the throne of Jehovah".
Jehovah will have war with Amalek from generation to generation. Amalek's
hand had dared to assault Jehovah's throne to overturn it and so He gave
Israel the authority and power of that throne to overwhelm Amalek. The
uplifted hands of Moses symbolized this banner. Here we have an illustration
of the hand of faith outstretched in prayer.

JEHOVAH-M'KADDESH— The Lord Who Sanctifies
SANCTIFIED IN TRUTH - HE IS TRUTH INCARNATE.
(JOHN 17:17)
SANCTIFIED IN CHRIST JESUS. (I Cor. 1:2)

The term holiness is from the Hebrew word "Kodesh" and is
allied to "sanctify" and is translated as dedicate, consecrate,
hallow and holy in various translations. "I am Jehovah
M'Kaddesh - The Lord who sanctifies you". This term's main
influence relates to moral and spiritual purity.
In the New Testament many scriptures relate to the process of
sanctification, the sum of which are provided to the church
through the atoning work of Christ.

JEHOVAH-SHALOM—The Lord our Peace--Judges 6.42
HE IS OUR PEACE. (Eph. 2:14)
PEACE I GIVE UNTO YOU. (JOHN 14:27)
The word "Peace" and its cognates appear over
400 times in scripture. It is one of the most
precious and fundamentally essential
ingredients for a believer to be at peace with
God and know the peace of God. It relates to a
harmonious relationship obtained through
reconciliation of a debt paid in full.
Peace or "Shalom" is often translated - welfare,
good health, prosperity, favor, rest whole,
finished, restitution or repay and perfect.

Jehovah Tsebahoth - The Lord of Host— I SAMUEL 1:3
SON OF MAN...AND ALL THE HOLY ANGELS (Matt. 25:31)
ANGELS OF GOD ASCENDING AND DESCENDING UPON THE SON OF MAN. (JOHN
1:51)

This term in Hebrew is taken from sabaoth, meaning host or hosts with special reference to
warfare or service and often appears as the Lord of Hosts. This Hebrew term has also rendered
armies and also appointed for service. This reference for Jehovah appears fourteen times in the
book of Haggai and twenty-four times in the book of Malachi.
In Zechariah, the Lord of Hosts, occurs fifty-three times and is of great interest seeing it is
connected with God's action in judgement and blessing upon Israel. The expression "Thus saith
the Lord of Hosts" implied divine revelation and divine authority. A phrase like "Holiness unto
the Lord of Hosts", Zechariah 14:21.
When the conquest of Canaan was about to begin the Lord was revealed as the unknown
warrior with naked sword standing before Joshua. When Joshua asked the question, "are you
for us or against us"; the reply came, "I am Prince of the Host of Jehovah", therefore Joshua
humbly surrendered his sword to Jehovah Tsebahoth.
The whole of His creation is under His control and obeys His sovereign command, willingly or
otherwise. HE is:

The Lord of all the animal hosts (Is. 11:6)
The Lord of all the human hosts (Is. 40:15)
The Lord of the satanic hosts (Matthew 28:18)

JEHOVAH-ROHI— The Lord My Shepherd
I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD (JOHN 10:14)
THE LAMB IN THE CENTER OF THE THRONE SHALL BE THEIR SHEPHERD. (REV.
7:17)

Although Israel learned to magnify the Lord for life, healing, victory, holiness, peace, and
protection, they were still pilgrims and were in dire need of divine provision in their wilderness
journey with all its weariness, physical needs, duties, dangers and difficulties. Thus there came
the revelation of God as their Jehovah Rohi, the One whose Shepherd love, care and resources
they could depend upon in all the untrodden and unknown pathways of the future.
Thus the Lord is the feeder to provide, keeper to protect, companion to cheer, friend to help,
pastor to comfort, herdsman near to us, as His frequent revelations as such proves.
The twenty-third Psalm contains eight redemptive names of Jehovah;
1. Jehovah Rohi (Psalm 23:1) - Jehovah is my shepherd.
2. Jehovah Jireh (Psalm 23:1) - I shall not want.
3. Jehovah Shalom - The Lord is my peace. (Psalm 23:2) He makes me to lie down in green
pastures. He leads me beside still waters.
4. Jehovah Rophi - The Lord my healer. (Psalm 23:3) He restores my soul.
5. Jehovah Tsidkenu - The Lord is righteousness (Psalm 23:3)
He leadeth me in paths of righteousness for His name sake.
6. Jehovah Nissi - The Lord is my banner (Psalm 23:5) Thou preparest a table before me in the
presence of my enemies.
7. Jehovah M'Kaddesh - The Lord my sanctifier. (Psalm 23:5)
Thou anointest my head with oil.
8. Jehovah Shammah - The Lord is there (Psalm 23:4) Thou art with me.

JEHOVAH-TSIDKEENU— The Lord our Righteousness Jeremiah 33.6
CHRIST JESUS...MADE UNTO US RIGHTEOUSNESS (I COR. 1:30)
THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD...FAITH IN JESUS (Rom. 3:22)

In the Old Testament there is evident revelation of Israel as being a nation
seeking after righteousness, yet in its passionate desire for righteousness,
the people discovered their own unrighteousness. Therefore, we become
people that are seekers after hearts of purity and after communion with God
in holiness. The Greeks sought after wisdom and the Romans sought after
power and world dominion. But there is ever a remnant of God's chosen
people who seek after God and His righteousness.
To the glory of the gospel is that Jehovah Tsidkenu became flesh and was
made unto us righteousness (I Cor. 1:30). A righteous God pronounced
death as the penalty of sin, yet that same God became flesh, the righteous
branch, to taste death for every sinner and provide the righteousness that is
transferred or imputed to the believer and is thereby accepted before God.
Acceptable righteousness therefore is not attained but obtained.

Jehovah Heleyon - The Lord Most High
THE MOST HIGH DOES NOT DWELL IN HOUSES MADE BY HUMAN
HAND (Acts 7:48)
THESE MEN ARE SERVANTS (OF CHRIST) OF THE MOST HIGH GOD
(ACTS 16:17)

Jehovah Heleyon is frequently used in the Psalms as a declaration of God's
highest position or kingship. This title reveals God as the high and lofty one
that inhabits eternity (Is. 57:15). Prophetically speaking of Jehovah's reign
over the earth at the time of Israel's restoration or the restoration of God's
chosen people.
It is also reassuring for us to know that during these difficult days that the
Most High rules in the kingdom of men also (Daniel 4:25). This redemptive
name places God at the highest place of every realm of life so that He can
fulfil His will in and through us. When applied to God, this redemptive name
reveals that though He is the highest, there are others below Him endowed
by Him with like natures and therefore in some way related to Him by His
Spirit.

Jehovah-Makkeh - The Lord Who Smites— Ezekiel 7.9
WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE CHASTENS (HEBREWS 12:6)

The Lord has given Israel to us as an example of His dealings
with man. He set Israel in the midst of heathen nations as His
witness but instead of revealing and glorifying Him she
changed His judgements into wickedness greater than all the
nations she was suppose to influence for Him. Therefore He
said, "You shall know that I am Jehovah-Makkeh", the Lord
who smites thee. (Ezekiel 7:9)
Daniel in the 9th chapter reveals that Israel found themselves
in captivity because they refused to heed the voice of the Lord
their God which was set before them by His servants, the
prophets. Consequently, as a result of their disobedience the
Lord smote Israel and disciplined her because of her unbelief
and rejection of His true revealed word. The church has also
experienced a similar disciplinary period over the past forty
years because of her rejection of the true revealed word as
brought to the church by His servant the, the prophets.

JEHOVAH-GMOLAH— Lord Who Recompenses
Jeremiah 51:16
VENGEANCE IS MINE...SAITH THE LORD (Romans 12:17-21)

The scriptures declare that retribution or recompense does not
belong to us but rather it belongs to God. In Jeremiah 51, the
Lord declares that He will severely punish Babylon because of
their harsh dealing with Israel thereby revealing Himself as the
God of retribution. The same was true of Egypt when they
placed the nation of Israel under a heavy burden and struck
the apple of His eye. When a person is shamefully treated or
misjudged, even wrongfully condemned or blamed when
innocent, it becomes very difficult not to take up our own
defense and leave our reputation to God. Yet this is the precise
way that He has instructed for us to respond. Retribution and
recompense belong only to him. Vengeance is His and He
promised to repay. (Deut. 32:35; II Thes. 1:8)

JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH— Lord Who is There/Present
Ezekiel 48.35
THE WORD BECAME FLESH AND DWELT AMONG US (JOHN 1:14)
THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME EMMANUEL, EZEKIEL 48:35
The name of the city revealed through Ezekiel is Jehovah Shammah, the
Lord is There, so called because of the manifest presence and power of
Jehovah residing therein. We also know from scripture that God does not
dwell in temples made by hands but rather we are the temple of God.
This is the last of Jehovah's redemptive titles in the order of their Old
Testament occurrence. It discloses the consummation of His progressive
self revelation.
The people of Israel were brought out of the bondage of Egypt by His
manifest presence (Deut. 4:37). However, the people willfully and
continually sinned and the conscious manifest Presence of God was
rescinded. Yet when the people repented of their gross idolatry, because
of His love and pity, the angel of His presence redeemed them once again
(Isaiah 63:9).
The apostle Paul describes the church as a habitation of God, a house of
God, and the building growing unto a holy temple in the Lord. The
question remains, Does the Glory of Jehovah fill Jehovah's house and are
we members of that house displaying His Glory? GOD WITH US. (MATT.
1:23)
The Spirit of the Lord is Upon Me

Luke 4:18-21—The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to
the poor; he has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of
sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are
oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the
Lord. Then He closed the book, and gave it back to
the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who
were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He
began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled
in your hearing.“

the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of
counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and the
fear of the LORD. And He will delight in the fear of the
LORD, and He will not judge by what His eyes see,
nor make a decision by what His ears hear.

3. The Plumbline Ministry involves the Seven Spirits of
God —Zechariah 4:10.
The Seven Spirits of God Defined
Gods "Sevenfold Spirit" is a wonderful mystery to highlight the
functioning of the Lord's Spirit in the earth. It is not in
contradiction to the triune nature of God but a perfect and
complete expression of His Spirit that demonstrates the fullness
of His character and power. The Spirit of the Lord doesn’t
have wisdom and revelation, counsel and might, knowledge
and reverential awe; He IS all of these.
The Book of Revelations uses the phrase "Seven Spirits of God" in
four passages. It is taken from two Greek words:


Hepta= meaning seven or more appropriately sevenfold.
Pneumata= meaning a plural rendering of spirits, breath or
wind that can also be used to describe a singular object or
person.
Who He is and What He Does

The seven aspects of the Holy Spirit provide a more clear
definition of His nature. The Spirit of the Lord is an expression
of who He is while wisdom and revelation, counsel and might,
and knowledge and the reverential fear of God are what He is.

The Jewish Bible records Revelations 4:5 as follows: From the
throne came forth lightnings, voices and thunderings;
and before the throne were seven flaming torches,
which are the sevenfold Spirit of God.

The sevenfold Spirit is a complete representation of His
revelation (seven eyes) and power (seven horns) essential to
accomplish His plan in the earth. In order for the Church to do
the works that He did, fulfilling John 14:12, this same
manifestation of the Spirit must also rest upon her! The Lord
promised to baptize us in the Holy Spirit and fire; the Seven
Spirits of God are manifested in fire.
The Eyes of the Lord
Zechariah 4:9-10—The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the
foundation of this house, and his hands will finish it. Then you
will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. For who
has despised the day of small things? But these seven will be
glad when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel-these are the eyes of the LORD which range to and fro
throughout the earth.“

Complete Power and Revelation
Revelations 5:6—And I saw between the throne (with the four
living creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing, as if slain,
having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits
of God, sent out into all the earth.
Divine Pairs

The Seven Spirits of God work together in
pairs. The spirit of wisdom and the spirit of
understanding work in harmony with one
another. The spirits of counsel and might
work in unison as do the spirits of knowledge
and reverential fear of God, all flowing from the
manifestation of the Spirit of the Lord.
Spirits of Wisdom & Understanding

Wisdom & Understanding Defined

—The spirit of wisdom is the supernatural ability of God that
comes upon our spirits to see Jesus as He is and receive a
spiritual understanding and knowledge of God’s word that
enables us to know what to do, when to do it and how to do it
in every situation. It also reveals God’s manifold and
unsearchable wisdom and secrets affecting His plans and
purposes usually spoken in a mystery. It means a deeper
intimacy into the things of God.

Daniel 9:21-23—While I was still speaking in prayer, then the
man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision previously, came to
me in my extreme weariness about the time of the evening
offering. He gave me instruction and talked with me and said,
"O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you insight with
understanding. At the beginning of your supplications the
command was issued, and I have come to tell you for you are
highly esteemed; so give heed to the message and gain
understanding of the vision.

The spirit of revelation/understanding is a comprehension of
the things of God providing understanding with the mind giving
insight with perception. Wisdom and understanding means the
insight into the true nature of things with the ability to discern
mode of action with a view to their results. It is the ability to
not only know the things of God but also the application of
them practically.

Revelation is the comprehension imparted into our spirits from
the Holy Spirit and transmitted into our minds. It is the voice
of God speaking to our spirits and informing our minds of that
which God is going to do; the unfolding of hidden secrets to us
by the Holy spirit; and the revealing of mysteries and insight
into the future.

As demonstrated in the life of Daniel, humility and an excellent
spirit are vital attributes in the operation of the spirits of
wisdom and revelation.
Contending for These Endowments

For the release of the mantle of wisdom and understanding we
must pray and ask for it and the integrity to steward it well.
The apostle Paul taught us that in Ephesians 1:17-19.
Equipping and instruction will result, helping us to appropriately
understand the Biblical offices and administration. We must
earnestly desire these mantles and pray for the maturity,
character, and grace to be endowed with them. Their benefits
are enormous.
The eyes of our hearts are enlightened
 Insight to know what is the hope of His calling
 What are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints
 What is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who
believe

Numbers 9:21-23—If sometimes the cloud remained
from evening until morning, when the cloud was lifted
in the morning, they would move out; or if it remained
in the daytime and at night, whenever the cloud was
lifted, they would set out. Whether it was two days or
a month or a year that the cloud lingered over the
tabernacle, staying above it, the sons of Israel
remained camped and did not set out; but when it
was lifted, they did set out. At the command of the
LORD they camped, and at the command of the LORD
they set out; they kept the LORD'S

Deut 33:18-19—Of Zebulun he said, "Rejoice, Zebulun, in your
going forth, and, Issachar, in your tents. They will call peoples
{to} the mountain; there they will offer righteous sacrifices; for
they will draw out the abundance of the seas, and the hidden
treasures of the sand.“

Genesis 49:13-15—Zebulun will dwell at the seashore; and he
shall be a haven for ships, and his flank shall be toward Sidon.
"Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the
sheepfolds. When he saw that a resting place was good and
that the land was pleasant, He bowed his shoulder to bear
{burdens} and became a slave at forced labor.

Judges 5:14—Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against
Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir
came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the
pen of the writer.

Isaiah 9:1-2—But there will be no more gloom for her
who was in anguish; in earlier times He treated the
land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali with
contempt, but later on He shall make it glorious, by
the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles. The people who walk in
darkness Will see a great light; those who live in a
dark land, the light will shine on them.

Matthew 4:13-16—Leaving Nazareth, He came and
settled in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the
region of Zebulun and Naphtali. This was to fulfill what
was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: "THE LAND
OF ZEBULUN AND THE LAND OF NAPHTALI, BY THE
WAY OF THE SEA, BEYOND THE JORDAN, GALILEE OF
THE GENTILES--THE PEOPLE WHO WERE SITTING IN
DARKNESS SAW A GREAT LIGHT, AND THOSE WHO
WERE SITTING IN THE LAND AND SHADOW OF
DEATH, UPON THEM A LIGHT DAWNED."

Caleb and I were walking out into Our Connection and this is
soooooooooooooooo very crazy but Paul Keith was out there
playing a slot machine.....The slot machine was dinging and
flashing. Huge Sand dollars were flying out of the slot machine
and piling up on the floor all the way up to his knees. Paul
Keith had a huge grin on his face...He was laughing
and shouting, " I just won a Million bucks and I was playing
this thing with my left hand!“
Right after that I woke at 5:07....I did feel like the
left handed connection was significant....The Lord reminded me
about the Left-handed Benjamites and how Benjamin was the
Son of the Father's right hand.....Also as I copied the verses in
Isaiah I noticed mention of help from the Father's right
hand. There is much to say about the tribe of Benjamin.
....I also thought of the tribe of Issachar and the blessings of
the sands in regard to Paul Keith winning those SAND dollars in
the Connection....(Deut 33:18-19)

Thursday at the mine northeast of Pretoria, South Africa .
 Johan Dippenaar, the company's chief executive said in a statement Tuesday that
the 507.55-carat gem was of "exceptional color and clarity."

Paul Keith,
Pray things are going well for you in S. Africa. It is a wonderful place and I am sure you
are enjoying the people and the beauty of the land. I sent a email to Wanda, but
thought I would pass along some prophetic to you since it pertains to S. Africa and
William Branham.
We had a Rosh Hashanah service last Friday night and our speaker was from
S.Africa. During the meeting she brought a very prophetic friend with her
from S Africa (she is what they call the Coy people from Africa, real seer's). This
woman is amazing, she has visions and sees numbers. The numbers are numbers
from the Strong Concordance. She doesn't know what they mean, she just sees
them and you look them up. This is her first time to America and she knows nothing
about our ministry, she was just a guest of our speaker.
Well, during the service she sees a vision of William Branham come into the meeting
and he has 2 scrolls in his hand. Each scroll has a number on them. The first one in
the Concordance means appointed time, and the 2nd one is Mt. Sinai. There are
thousands of numbers in the Strong's and these are the 2 she gets. The meeting
was powerful and our ministry has gone to a new level.
I just thought it was interesting that we had S. Africans seeing this and you are there
now. I believe this is a word for all who are going after what Branham brought, the
appointed time has come to go up the mountain and get the word of the Lord.
God bless and we are praying you have great meetings this weekend,
Tim and Susan

Joshua 1:2-9—Moses My servant is dead; now therefore arise, cross this Jordan, you
and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel.Every
place on which the sole of your foot treads, I have given it to you, just as I spoke to
Moses….No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I
have been with Moses, I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you. Be strong
and courageous, for you shall give this people possession of the land which I swore
to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous; be careful to do
according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from
it to the right or to the left, so that you may have success wherever you go….Have I
not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for
the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.
From Jason Hooper:
When I was praying on Rosh Hashannah, I saw you standing on the coast, a beautiful
beach behind you a blue & green ocean in front of you. You were fishing with your
pants rolled up to the knee. I saw your line had been cast both far and deep.
I heard the scripture, Ecc 11:1-Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after
many days. Directly after I heard this scripture, I saw you draw in your line and
I felt that the "fish" that you had caught was the return of "the big one that had
gotten away."
Spirits of Counsel and Might
Around the throne were twenty-four
thrones; and upon the thrones I saw
twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white
garments, and golden crowns on their
heads. Out from the throne come flashes
of lightning and sounds and peals of
thunder. And there were seven lamps of
fire burning before the throne, which are
the seven Spirits of God;
—Revelations 4:4-5

It is the anointing Jesus functioned in.

The Spirit of Counsel Defined

The Spirit of Counsel is advice, plans, or admonitions
of prudence to provide leadership and proper
decision-making to achieve God's plan and purpose.
The Hebrew word for Counsel used numerous times in
the Old Testament is etsah and is translated as
counsel, advice, advisement, or purpose. One of the
first occurrences is and Exodus 18:9 when Jethro
gives counsel to Moses concerning the leadership of
Israel. The Spirit of Counsel grants advice from God's
throne and provides the perfect plan or strategy to
achieve a specific mandate. The Lord is the Spirit of
counsel (see Isaiah 9:6). Isaiah 28:9 declares that this
also comes from the Lord of hosts, who is wonderful
in counsel and excellent in guidance.
The Spirit of Might Defined
Might is taken from the Hebrew word gebuwrah and is
defined as power, strength, or force producing valor,
victory, and mighty deeds. The Spirit of Might
illustrates and demonstrates the marvelous acts and
miraculous powers of the Holy Spirit. Careful
adherence and response to His Counsel releases the
Spirit of Might
 Deuteronomy 3:24 –O Lord GOD, you have begun to
show your servant your greatness and your strong
hand; for what god is there in heaven or on earth who
can do such works and mighty acts as yours?

Old Testament Accounts of Counsel and
Might

Moses Flowed in the Spirit of Counsel and Might in Delivering
Israel from Egypt. He never acted on his own but only after
the counsel of God. Go and stand next to the river Nile and
stretch out your rod. Obedience on the counsel releases the
power.

Elijah and the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18:21-36)

1 King 18:36 Then it came about at the time of the offering
of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near
and said, "O LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel,
today let it be known that Thou art God in Israel, and that I
am Thy servant, and that I have done all these things at Thy
word.

Elisha and Naaman (2 Kings 5:1-10)
Counsel and Might in the Ministry of
Jesus

Jesus Did Only What He Heard and Saw the Father
Doing.

John 9:6-7 When He had said this, He spat on the
ground, and made clay of the spittle, and applied the
clay to his eyes, and said to him, "Go, wash in the
pool of Siloam" (which is translated, sent). And so he
went away and washed, and came back seeing.

Mark 8:23 And taking the blind man by the hand, He
brought him out of the village; and after spitting on
his eyes, and laying His hands upon him, He asked
him, "Do you see anything?"
Knowledge & Reverential Awe

Isaiah 11:3-4 –And He will delight in the fear of
the LORD, and He will not judge by what His
eyes see, nor make a decision by what His ears
hear; 4 But with righteousness He will judge
the poor, and decide with fairness for the
afflicted of the earth; and He will strike the
earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the
breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.
Lessons from the Garden of Eden
Access to God’s supernatural knowledge
without the corresponding anointing of
reverential awe is dangerous.
 Adam ate from the “tree of the knowledge of
good and evil” and forfeited his Fellowship with
God.
 He exchanged his reverential fear for the Living
God to become afraid of God and hid himself.
 It is God’s earnest desire to reveal Himself to
His children and share His secrets.
 We do not have a spirit of fear but the spirit of
the fear of the Lord.


Genesis 3:8-10 –They heard the sound of the
LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of
the day, and the man and his wife hid
themselves from the presence of the LORD God
among the trees of the garden. Then the LORD
God called to the man, and said to him, "Where
are you?“ He said, "I heard the sound of You in
the garden, and I was afraid because I was
naked; so I hid myself.“
Afraid=yare’ =to fear or cause to frighten.
 Fear= yir’ah=awesome or terrifying; respect,
reverence, and piety.


Ps 25:12-14 –Who is the man who fears the LORD?
He will instruct him in the way he should choose. His
soul will abide in prosperity, and his descendants will
inherit the land. The secret of the LORD is for those
who fear Him, and He will make them know His
covenant.

Genesis 18:17 –The LORD said, "Shall I hide from
Abraham what I am about to do.

John 15:15 –No longer do I call you slaves, for the
slave does not know what his master is doing; but I
have called you friends, for all things that I have
heard from My Father I have made known to you.
Spirit of Knowledge & Awe Defined
The Spirit of Knowledge is very simply
accessing the omniscient nature of God. He
knows all things even to the numbering of the
hairs of our head. The unveiling of this
dimension of His nature opens the door for the
manifestation of reverential awe through a
demonstration of supernatural information and
insight.
 Spirit of Fear is a healthy awareness of God’s
omnipotent nature with a view of the vastness
of His being and the unlimited nature of His
power.

Old and New Testament Examples

II Kings 6:12 –One of his servants said, "No, my lord,
O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells
the king of Israel the words that you speak in your
bedroom.“

II Kings 5:26-27 –Then he said to him, "Did not my
heart go with you when the man turned from his
chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money and
to receive clothes and olive groves and vineyards and
sheep and oxen and male and female servants?
Therefore, the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you
and to your descendants forever." So he went out
from his presence a leper as white as snow.

John 4:25-29 –The woman said to Him, "I know that
Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ); when that
One comes, He will declare all things to us.“ Jesus
said to her, "I who speak to you am {He.} “…So the
woman left her waterpot, and went into the city and
said to the men, Come, see a man who told me all the
things that I have done; this is not the Christ, is it?“
John 1:46 & 49 –Nathanael said to him, "Can any
good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him,
"Come and see.“…
 Nathanael answered Him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of
God; you are the King of Israel."
