A number of times in the Book of Revelation there is a reference to the "seven Spirits."John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne (Revelation 1:4).References to the seven Spirits are also made in Revelation 4:5 and 5:6. Who are these "Spirits"?
And to the angel of the church of Sardis write, "These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars (Revelation 3:1).
But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills (1 Corinthians 12:11).To this verse many others could be added. The united testimony of Scripture is that there is only one Spirit of God.
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 (Isaiah 11:2).Therefore, the "seven Spirits" are not different spirits but most likely refer to the complex ministry of the one Holy Spirit.
