For many years we did not know that God had seven Spirits! Although we had read the Bible through, and were raised in a "Spirit-filled" environment, we had never seen or heard anything about seven Spirits. We all knew that "there is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling" (Eph. 4:4). We all thought that when we received the one Spirit, in the baptism in the Spirit, that was the beginning and the finish of it! We spoke in tongues and prophesied, did a few miracles, danced in the Spirit and rejoiced with unspeakable joy, and that was it! This is all we knew God had for us this side of heaven."Seven Spirits" means, in the original text, seven Spirits. The question follows: Are there seven Spirits of God? Does God indeed have seven Spirits? Whether you can accept this or not, the scriptures do speak of more than one Spirit. The Holy Spirit is variously defined as - "The Spirit of God, of Christ, of Holiness, of Truth, of a Sound Mind, of Liberty, of Burning, of the Father, of the Son, of Promise, of Meekness, of Understanding, of Adoption, of Prophecy, of Glory, of Counsel, of Grace, of Adoption, of Prophecy, of the Lord," etc., etc. These various titles, repeated many times, and used interchangeably, give us a full, proper assurance that they all relate to the same HOLY SPIRIT. In the Old Testament we see the Spirit of God coming upon men. In the New Testament we have the Holy Spirit entering into them and dwelling within them, abiding, always working from within, working outwards and upwards. In the Old Testament we have the Spirit of God as the Spirit of the Almighty and Unapproachable One. In the New Testament we have the Spirit of the Father, in and through Jesus Christ. This Book, The Seven Spirits of God will let us take a closer look at some of these characteristics of the Holy Spirit
