All that is here is seeming and illusion the only substantial existences lie within the veil. The things which are signify, I suppose, the unseen realities which flashed upon the inward eye of the solitary seer for a moment in symbol when the door was opened in Heaven. He has closed the eyes of your prophets and visionaries.John received a double commission, to write the things which are and the things which shall be. "For the LORD has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep. (This spirit was sent to punish the Egyptians, thus, it is of the Spirit of Judgment.) They cause the land of Egypt to stagger like a sick drunkard." "The LORD has sent a spirit of foolishness on them, so all their suggestions are wrong. He will cleanse Jerusalem of its bloodstains by a spirit of judgment that burns like fire." "The Lord will wash the moral filth from the women of Jerusalem. "Come here and listen to me! I'll pour out the spirit of wisdom upon you and make you wise." So the people of Israel obeyed him and did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses." "Now Joshua son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline." That is how we know if someone has theSpirit of truth or the spirit of deception." If they do not belong to God, they do not listen to us. "But we belong to God that is why those who know God listen to us. He will not be presenting his own ideas he will be telling you what he has heard. "When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will come to you from the Father and will tell you all about me." "But I will send you the Counselor-the Spirit of truth. It's the Holy Spirit's mission - with our consent - to produce this "mind" in us, so that we can "live the truth" and the Gospel can be passed on to others. Isaiah 11:1-2: "And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots : 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 the Fear of the Lord " My understanding for this seven-fold process of thinking comes from …. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God that are sent out into every part of the earth." "I looked and I saw a Lamb that had been killed but was now standing between the throne and the four living beings and among the twenty-four elders. And in front of the throne were seven lampstands with burning flames. And from the throne came flashes of lightning and the rumble of thunder. They were all clothed in white and had gold crowns on their heads. "Twenty-four thrones surrounded him, and twenty-four elders sat on them. Your deeds are far from right in the sight of God." Now wake up! Strengthen what little remains, for even what is left is at the point of death. This is the message from the one who has the sevenfold Spirit of God and the seven stars: "I know all the things you do, and that you have a reputation for being alive-but you are dead. "Write this letter to the angel of the church in Sardis. All praise to him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by shedding his blood for us." Grace and peace from the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come from thesevenfold Spirit before his throne and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness to these things, the first to rise from the dead, and the commander of all the rulers of the world. "This letter is from John to the seven churches in the province of Asia.
