Jesus: He Who Has the Seven Spirits of God and the Seven Stars
who has the seven Spirits of God
Jesus is He Who Has the Seven Spirits of God. This is not a reference to seven different spirits sent by God; but rather, this is a reference to the One Spirit of God who will minister to you and to the Church in various ways. Jesus can send the Holy Spirit to do many things in your life. The Spirit can convict of sin, regenerate, indwell, baptize, seal, guide and give you spiritual gifts. Jesus can send the Holy Spirit to make you holy and to make you spiritual; receive what He sends.
Lord, I receive all the various ministries of the Holy Spirit into my heart. Work in my life today.
Jesus is He Who Has the Seven Stars. These stars were churches (Revelation 2:1). These churches were dear to Him, as are all churches and all believers in them. However, there were some problems in these churches. To the church in Sardis, He said, “You have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent” (Revelation 3:1-3). No matter how spiritual—or carnal—a church, Jesus knows, and He works in that church to make it godlier. Jesus is He that is coming as a thief in the night, in an hour when we do not expect Him (Revelation 3:3). So walk faithfully before Him in love, because those who are overcomers will be clothed in white and their names will not be blotted out of the Book of Life (Revelation 3:5).
Lord, send the Holy Spirit to make me more godly. You are the coming One; I wait for Your appearance. Amen.
