Well what you wrote doesn't make much sense to me, so I had hoped you would try to explain what you meant in easier to understand English. I'll just have to guess at what you meant.
I had said that Isaiah 11:2 mentioned God's spirit (His Holy Spirit is just one spirit - right?) and then six qualities, or attributes, of His spirit. You then wrote, "You ignoring the SPIRIT of God with (resting ON) that individual DOES NOT apply to me". My best guess is that you meant to say something like "You're ignoring 'the spirit of God' but I am not ignoring it. I therefore think that the verse is describing 7 spirits". That still seems like an incorrect understanding of the verse. These translations more clearly show the intended meaning:
GNB:
(2) The spirit of the LORD will give him wisdom and the knowledge and skill to rule his people. He will know the LORD's will and honor him,
NET:
(2) The LORD’s Spirit will rest on him – a Spirit that gives extraordinary wisdom, a Spirit that provides the ability to execute plans, a Spirit that produces absolute loyalty to the LORD.
Please give a reference and quote. The only mention of "seven spirits" in the Bible that I can find are those in Revelation, which I have already pointed out are refering to seven angels.
I can put it simply…but not necessarily in a brief text.
God IS Spirit, and HAS Spirits, all being His ONE SAME SPIRIT.
Gods ONE WHOLE FULL SPIRIT, is HIS.
Gods ONE WHOLE FULL SPIRIT, IS HIS…
SUPREME POWER, His GLORY, to which…
HE
GIVES the WHOLENESS of HIS FULL SPIRIT TO…… NO ONE.
However GOD DOES “GIVE” PARTICULAR “portions” of HIS SPIRIT, to “PARTICULAR” individuals.
The WHO (particular individuals)…are:
OT Prophets, OT Faithful Believers, NT Believers, NT Faithful Confessed Committed Converted (called Saved and Born Again).
These “Particular” “THINGS” are IDENTIFIED, are Particular Gifts, Particular Blessings, Given “TO” such “Particular” Individuals.
(These are “stand out” blessings /gifts, expressly IDENTIFIED)…
Different than BLESSINGS…God gives to NON-particular individuals…believers, non-believers….giving them Rain, sunshine, protection via holy angel servants of God, Guidance of Right and Wrong, etc.
ALL of manKIND individuals :
ARE a body, conceived from a “corrupt” SEED of man, Formed by God, naturally born “IN SIN” (meaning Not Knowing, Loving, Believing IN God…aka Against God).
THAT BODY’S natural “LIFE” is it’s BLOOD.
ALL of manKIND individuals :
AT TIME of Separation (delivery) from Mother’s (life line); They ARE GIVEN (a new lifeline of sorts), something blown DIRECTLY INTO their FORM-ED BODY’S “nostrils”,
BY God…called A SOUL.
The LIFE “IN” that SOUL, IS “Gods Breath”.
(All souls, and the life within the soul…BELONGS TO GOD…It is HIS to GIVE and HIS to TAKE as HE Pleases).
Once the delivered BODY of that babe IS delivered AND GIVEN a “NAME”…The SOUL within that BODY, is ALSO associated, and called by the NAME, given that BODY.
The SOUL & Gods Breath of Life within the SOUL…”activates” Particular BODY parts to “FUNCTION”….for the PURPOSE of THAT BODY to “Communicate”….with and among OTHER manKIND of beings…
What DOES the SOUL “activate”/
Eyes……..can now SEE
Ears………can now HEAR
Nose……..can now SMELL
Tongue….can now TASTE
Mouth……can now UTTER SOUNDS
Flesh……..can now FEEL TOUCH
(None of those things functioned, while the babe was in the womb). In the womb, the LIFE LINE to the mother, was for the purpose of FEEDING nutrients, minerals, vitamins, to the babe, giving it Oxygen, and carrying AWAY waste, while the babe was in development, BEING “FORMED” by the Hand of God.)
After the babe IS Delivered forth out of the womb…having received a SOUL, and Gods Breath of Life IN the SOUL…
…the babe begins being INTRODUCED to knowledge, given it from its PARENTS…or in many cases in this ERA…one parent, babysitters, schools, orphanages, governments, gangs
whomever is GIVEN charge OVER the babe, toddler, youth, teen, young adult, adult…
* AND DURING THAT Period…(which may be Different for every born babe)…IS WHEN the individual BEGINS deciding his Own Beliefs…IN His “CARNAL MIND”….
AND his OWN natural TRUTH in his HEART
Any individuals
Carnal Mind, can believe truths, yet lie, deceive, plot, consider to act on whims, unsure schemes….and regardless of what his CARNAL MIND thinks and does…..
his own HEART, will hold the secrets of his OWN TRUE BELIEF, even IF it is in Opposition of his Carnal Mind, and what his mouth speaks forth.
The “TRUTH” in an individuals HEART…IS the “NATURAL SPIRIT” of manKIND.
The Three “parts” of a WHOLE man…
IS…he has a natural body (from a mans seed)
IS…he has a soul (from God)
IS…he has a natural spirit.(truths in his heart)
His BODY has LIFE….BLOOD
His SOUL has LIFE….Gods Breath
His SPIRIT has “his” TRUTH…
God OFFERED manKND…an “order and way”…..TO: Receive…FROM GOD…
* Forgiveness unto His corrupt BODY
….and PROMISE of a new body
* Forgiveness unto His having corrupted his SOUL
….a restored soul
* A means to RECEIVE a NEW TRUTH, from, by, through, of the Word of God (aka Jesus), the Power of God (aka Christ), the Seed of God (aka Christ the Lord Jesus)…
…Baptism of, by, through, from the HOLY SPIRIT of God.
Offerings ARE NOT FORCED…they are PROVIDED, AVAILABLE, For manKIND….
TO TAKE…(according to the terms of the Offering, as provided according to Gods terms)
Or
REJECT
Terms…
A willingly Given DEAD BODY given unto God.
Agreeing to Receive a Restored soul. (ie back to very good, as it was when God gave it.)
Agreeing to Receive Gods SEED.
Agreeing to Receive Gods “SPIRIT OF (His) TRUTH”.
A man AGREES…with God….uh, by Calling on the Lord Jesus, that HE WILL HEAR your news of your desire and your agreement TO Receive His OFFERING…ACCORDING TO GODS TERMS..…which a man DOES, with his natural true BELIEF, in his natural heart”….and CONFESSES with his natural mouth, speaking forth his natural truth (from his natural spirit) in his heart.
God, being Righteous, does as He teaches…test, try, search everything….He AS WELL “tests, checks, searches, looks into” that individuals natural spirit, natural truth in his heart….to DETERMINE…”IF” that CONFESSION that individual CONFESSED unto the Lord God…….IS in FACT
TRUE or NOT!
Remember, COMMUNICATION, WITH GOD, is ALWAYS “via” the spirit of man…natural or “IF AND WHEN” the man receives “A NEW, born again spirit OF Gods Seed….communication with God is ALWAYS, via spirit “OF” man to Spirit of God, WHO’s WHOLENESS IS SPIRIT.
When an individual elects, decides, AND “makes” his own TRUE “spiritual” and FAITHFUL Commitment unto God…
THEN, does…PARTICULAR BLESSINGS/GIFTS Become a “HIGHLIGHT” unto THAT particular individual…
Gifts and Blessing God bestows, AS HE is all Knowing, and KNOWS….which of His “particular” gifts and blessing WILL greatly BENEFIT, particular individuals, who have Freely and Willingly Committed unto HIM, and IN-TURN, Gods own NAME, shall be glorified…
By, through, of the BLESSING and GIFTS God bestows upon Committed and Converted men.
Particular blessings and gifts…are called the Seven Spirits of God.
THEY are EACH severally, and individually FROM the WHOLE ONE SPIRIT of GOD.
These Blessing and Gifts are Given the Faithful /Converted /Committed.
ALL Converted men…
#1 RECEIVE “Gods Spirit of Truth”
SOME, severely, individually receive certain gifts, (#2 -#7)but not others.
No man RECEIVES ALL of Gods Offered Gifts. Severally and Individually are Gods Gifts given from God.
Isaiah 11:2
1) The Spirit of the LORD…(1 John 4:6)
2) The Spirit of wisdom
3) The Spirit of understanding
4) The Spirit of counsel
5) The Spirit of power
6) The Spirit of knowledge
7) The Spirit of the fear of the Lord
Revelations gives visuals regarding the SEVEN Spirits of God.
Words of God = Gods truth
Seven Lamps burning = Light Gods Omnipotence.
Seven Horns = Authority Gods Omniscience
Seven Eyes = Gods omnipresence
A jewish menorah … tradition, seven stems, seven burning LIGHTS of candles, chanting words, ritual of remembrance and submission to Gods supremacy.
God being his own WHOLENESS of SPIRIT…
Is HIS unto Himself…
What God promises, and gives of Himself to others is according to Gods Order and Way…
IF it remains a mystery to you WHAT, HOW MUCH, WHEN, WHY, and to WHOM God gives “portions” of His SPIRIT and His POWER TO….guess you had best ask the SOURCE …
Glory to God,
Taken
