How To Live, Forever Part 2

Chapter Ten: The Seven Spirits Of God

(Isaiah 11:2 "And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord")

1. The Spirit of the LORD - God gives you his Spirit when you accept him into your life. When you give him your all, and give up your worldly life by doing everything for him and being baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. (John 3:3-5 "3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.")

2. The Spirit of Wisdom - God KNOWS and OWNS EVERYTHING and he will never lead you down the wrong path If you are doing everything for him. So let God lead you by his Spirit and make you wise. (1 Peter 3:8-18 "8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. 13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? 14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror,
neither be troubled; 15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. 17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. 18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:")

3. The Spirit of Understanding - Through his Spirit, God gives you all understanding especially what is right and wrong in his eyes. (Proverbs 3:13 "Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.")

4. The Spirit of Counsel - God gives you advice on what you need to do in your everyday life. If it's by helping someone, going somewhere you are led to, or just anything that you do, God will tell and show you. He will also tell you the best way to handle any situation like he would. God is always there for you. You just have to his will. (Proverbs 3:5-6 "5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.")

5. The Spirit of Strength - Nothing has power like God, and he doesn't want you to be weak. You are his Child, and he wants you to be strong like him. From mental strength to physical strength, God will build you up to be Strong like him. (Isaiah 41:10 "10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.")

6. The Spirit of Knowledge - Knowledge is the key to get the Kingdom of Heaven. You have to take time out of your day and read the Bible to learn his word and become everything like he is. God will not just tell you everything, you have to read and work for it. God will lead you into what you need to know.(Matthew 6:33 "33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.") He will show you Bible verses you need to see, and lead you in the right path in the right time. You just have to be patient and let God lead your life (James 1:5 "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.")(Proverbs 4:11 "I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.")

7. The Spirit of the fear of the LORD - The only thing you fear, is God. If you fear anything else, than your not allowed into Heaven (Revelation 21:8 "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.") No matter what, you can only be afraid of God! Not anything on this earth. No matter if a man comes up to you with a gun, someone jumps out and scares you, or anything involving fear other than God, is death forever. (Proverbs 9:10 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.")
