The Seven Spirits For The Local Churches

Today we need the intensified Spirit because of the degradation of the church. When the book of Revelation was written, the church had become degraded. The Lord became the intensified Spirit because of the degradation of the church. The history of the church tells us that even in the last part of the first century while the apostle John was still alive, the church had degraded from the Spirit to religion. The church had fallen from the living Spirit to dead religion. It was in such a situation that the Lord wrote this book to the seven local churches, using the title of the sevenfold Spirit. Under the degradation of the church, what we need is not religion or doctrines but the intensified Spirit.

The final book of the Bible, Revelation prophesies the ultimate judgement of mankind in a series of allegorical visions, grisly images and numerological predictions. According to these, empires will fall, the "Beast" will be destroyed and Christ will rule a new Jerusalem. With an introduction by Will Self.

The seven Spirits of God are mentioned four times in the Book of Revelation. What are they and hoe do they pertain to us?

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon”. - Isaiah 55:6-7. Revival in a local church occurs when God restores the spiritual health and vitality of His people on a much bigger scale.

Since the writing of the Book of Revelation by the apostle John, there have been many books written about the Seven Spirits of God. The majority of them are based on Isaiah 11:2.
