Continuing with, The Seven Spirits of GOD

I am still looking into the Seven Spirits of God as mentioned in Revelation 4:5 and spoken of in Isaiah 11:1-5, this number speak of perfection as being GODS number for redeemed man. Who by the Holy Spirit begins to walk in agreement by regeneration and then by entry into the narrow pathway. Enters His, "so great a Salvation," wherein mans perfection begins. Whereas the number eight is for completion, and six is for all things of the world under unredeemed mans influence, such as religion, government, and finance. These areas are subject to the influence of the evil one, who rules through the agent of mans flesh, as the prince of the powers of the air and false prophet or anti-Christ. We are to encourage and thereby strengthen one another to stay the course of faith as victors of our former way of separation life to resist all evils of this worlds influence upon us. Paul speaks of gifts given redeemed men, which also lends itself to our study. Now for the "Seven things Opened," to Redeemed man, redeemed from mans fallen nature of slavery and heavy bondage to an evil task master.


Seven things Opened:

Hands, for benevolence in Deuteronomy 15:7-11, "If among you, one of your brothers should become poor, in any of your towns within your land that the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother, but you shall open your hand to him and lend him sufficient for his need, whatever it may be. Take care lest there be an unworthy thought in your heart and you say, 'The seventh year, the year of release is near,' and your eye look grudgingly on your poor brother, and you give him nothing, and he cry to the LORD against you, and you be guilty of sin. You shall give to him freely, and your heart shall not be grudging when you give to him, because for this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake. For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, 'You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.'"


Eyes, for vision in 2Kings 6:15-19, "When the servant of the man (Elisha) of God rose early in the morning and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was all around the city. And the servant said, "Alas, my master! What shall we do?" He said, "Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them." Then Elisha prayed and said, "O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see." So the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. And when the Syrians came down against him, Elisha prayed to the LORD and said, "Please strike this people with blindness." So He struck them with blindness in accordance with the prayer of Elisha. And Elisha said to them, "This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek." And he led them to Samaria."


Ears, for hearing in Psalm 40:6-8, "In sacrifice and offering You have not delighted, but You have given me an open ear. Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required. Then I said, "Behold, I have come; in the scroll of the book it is written of Me: I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart." (John 4:34; Hebrews 10:5-7)


Lips, for testimony in Psalm 51:14-17, "Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O God, O God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of Your righteousness. O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise. For You will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; You will not be pleased with a burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise."


Windows, for prayer in Daniel 6:10-13, "When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house where he had windows in his upper chamber open toward Jerusalem. He got down on his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously. Then these men came by agreement and found Daniel making petition and plea before his God. Then they came near and said before the king, concerning the injunction, "O king! Did you not sign an injunction, that anyone who makes petition to any god or man within thirty days except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?" The king answered and said, "The thing stands fast, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be revoked." Then they answered and said before the king, "Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or the injunction you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day."


Hearts, for God's message in Acts 16: 10-15, "When Paul had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them. So, setting sail from Troas, we made a direct voyage to Samothrace, and the following day to Neapolis, and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We remained in this city some days. And on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together. One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. The LORD opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul. And after she was baptized, and her household as well, she urged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the LORD, come to my house and stay." And she prevailed upon us."


Doors, for service in 2Corinthians 2:12-13, "When I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ, even though a door was opened for me in the LORD, my spirit was not at rest because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I took leave of them and went on to Macedonia."
