Revelation, Chapter 1, 4: John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;


Revelation, Chapter 3, 1: And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.


Revelation, Chapter 4, 5: And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.


Revelation, Chapter 5, 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.
 
The 7 Spirits are symbolic for the universality, plenitude, and perfection; that unity amidst variety which marks the work of the Spirit and the sphere of it, the Church. In the Spirit's substance and existence He is One. In the Spirit's work, He is many.
 
Romans, Chapter 8, 2: For the law of the Spirit of life
in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.


Revelation, Chapter 11, 11: And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.


The Seven Spirits of God


1. The Spirit of Life
 
The seven spirits referenced in Revelations may refer to the spirits mentioned in Isaiah 11.

Spirit of the Lord
Spirit of wisdom
Spirit of understanding
Spirit of counsel
Spirit of might
Spirit of knowledge
Spirit of fear of the LORD

1 A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;
from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.
2 The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him—
the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of might,
the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the LORD—

It may also refer to the seven qualities mentioned in 2 Peter 1:5-7.

goodness
knowledge
self-control
perseverence

5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.

SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD

Revelations 4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knowth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.
Ephesians 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Hebrews 10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
1 Peter 4:14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

Lean not to thine own understanding. Amen. It is so important to learn how to read the Word of God. We must give attention to every detail of it. Examples: Capital F (Father) Father God; little f (father) man; Capital S (Spirit) God, little s (spirit) man. We also must read punctuation marks, who is speaking and to whom are the speaking to. Amen. When one comes across a question mark; go back and read it like a question. Do the same thing when it is an exclamation point! Amen. This is so important. Don't just blow through it like you think you know something. Ponder it, mediate on it, pray about it; SEEK HIM. He will open up the hidden mysteries of the gospel of Jesus Christ to you too.

I would not know these things either, but the Spirit of truth (my other comforter) pointed these things out to me and I want you to know them as well. Amen. It was freely given to me and I freely give it to you. If the blind lead the blind; shall they not both fall into a ditch? Amen. Little children; do not be deceived anymore. The Holy Ghost is the only true Teacher. Amen. I give to you what He gives to me. Amen.

All praise, honor, and glory be to God. Amen
 
And I know them all. I have fellowship with each one of them.

I know their laws and statutes.

There is nothing hidden that shall not be revealed. Amen
Funny thing is "innocent Stephen", you fought me and scoffed at me on worthychat just a couple months back.
God doesn't have 7 Spirits, you said. I took you in the Word and pointed it out to you.
Now, you are here, still scoffing, and trying to force feed your false doctrine.
When the spirit within us does not bare witness; it does not bare witness.
In order to be having fellowship with the 7 Spirits of God; I believe, first, one must know what 7 Spirits of God are.
You have listed, what you may think, or believe, they are, but what you listed is not the 7 Spirits of God.
Have you yet to realize; that maybe it is not everybody else that is wrong; maybe you need to start judgment within yourself, first. Amen
I encourage you to not lean to your own understanding. God is in control, not you.
May the Lord bless you in Spirit and in Truth. Amen
