Now you understand that the Holy Spirit can function in your life in a greater measure and you can participate fully in the divine nature. When all seven Spirits of God are functioning in your life, there'll be no confusion. You'll be balanced. You'll be full of power by the Spirit of the Lord and the Spirit of might. You'll also be full of the Word because of the Spirit of wisdom, the Spirit of knowledge, the Spirit of understanding, and the Spirit of counsel. And then, the Spirit of the fear of the Lord will balance these up with humility. You will not become puffed up because of the abundance of power and revelation manifested in your life. In Ephesians 3:16-19, Paul prays for the Ephesian Christians: That he (God) would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God."
This is so beautiful. Here we see Paul praying for the manifestation of the Spirit of might, the Spirit of understanding, and the Spirit of knowledge. Then he caps it all up when he prays, "that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God." That's depicting all the seven Spirits of God. If this was good and necessary for the Ephesians Christians, we need it even more today. God really wants to do something in your life. It's not right for you to walk only in a measure of God's Spirit; you'll lose out that way. You need to be filled with all the fullness of God's Spirit. Now the question is: Do you have room in your life for the Spirit? Is there still any space in your heart for Him or have you clogged your heart with all kinds of cares and concerns? You must consciously get rid of the dross and make room for the Spirit in your life. In Luke 4:18, Jesus said, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised," He's not a thing, nor is He fluid, oil, water, a cloud or gas. So don't think, "Well, they poured the anointing oil on me to ordain me. If it was on me then, it's still on me now." True, the anointing came on you the day you were ordained a minister, but how much anointing are you walking in now? For some people, all they've got left in their life is only one of the seven Spirits of God, Who's there just to make sure they get to heaven. It ought not to be that way. You can be filled with all the fullness of God! Remember, the Bible says, these seven Spirits of God have been sent forth into all the earth (Revelation 5:6). This means the Spirit of God in His full manifestation is working all over the world. He's always doing something big with those who walk with Him. When God sent manna from heaven to feed the children of Israel, He told them, "You've got to eat today's manna today. Don't keep some for tomorrow, for tomorrow, there'll be a fresh one for you to eat" (Exodus 16:19). This is letting us know we're supposed to receive the ministry of the Spirit everyday, because we require His guidance in our lives everyday. Yesterday's guidance will not suffice for today, and today's will not suffice for tomorrow. We have to have a relationship with Him today, and in the "now" of our lives. We must walk with the Spirit and in the Spirit today!
How To PRAY AND BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT If you would pray and get filled with the Holy Spirit and let Him take charge of your day, you'll begin to experience tremendous increase in every area of your life. That's why you've got to learn to pray like this: "Father, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, I understand from the Word of God that you'll take charge of my circumstances if I let You. You are the Lord of my life, and I pray that You order my steps today in the course that You've already planned for me. I want to meet only the people that You plan for me to meet today, and hear the things that You plan for me to hear, and say the things You plan for me to say. "I function as a child of God today in the anointing of the Holy Ghost. I walk in Your light, in the Name of the Lord Jesus. There's nobody coming into my world as an accident today. I refuse to be defeated today, for I'm a victor in Christ Jesus. I'm more than a conqueror, in the Name of the Lord Jesus. "Thank You Lord for Your presence is with me today. I thank You for the Spirit of excellence is at work in me. I do not act foolishly or utter a foolish word. The wisdom of God is found in my mouth, and I give counsel by the Spirit today. I deal with people by the Spirit today. I see with the eyes of God today, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
How can you be defeated when you pray like this? Your spirit has arisen to the occasion! Don't quit praying at this point, because there's more. You continue and declare: "Lord, I thank You for the Spirit of understanding and the Spirit of knowledge are functioning in me. I study the Word of God today and I understand it. I can see the Word, I can hear the Word, I can understand the Word and so it's working in me, and my mouth cannot be shut. I will speak boldly concerning the things of God and the revelations of God that I receive, in the Name of the Lord Jesus. "The nations of the world are waiting for me and I'm coming in the Name of the Lord. I've been commissioned and sent of God. I've got a message from Him to the world, and they will hear it, in the Name of Jesus. Watch out world, I'm coming!" Glory to God! This is how I pray. Now, isn't this better than praying, "Oh God, help me. Oh God, bless me, Oh God deliver me ... "? I can't pray dumb and negative prayers. I lift my hands up to God and declare, "Father, I'm so blessed. I'm such a blessed man. I don't know how to thank You enough, for You've blessed me so much, I'm embarrassed. You said in Your Word that You've blessed me and I looked at my life and found it so, and everybody that comes into my world is blessed. Glory to Cod, I'm blessed!" Even now as you're reading, God's Spirit is already working in you. Something is happening in your spirit right now. The fire of the Holy Ghost is burning in your heart. So don't wait; get in the flow! Go ahead and begin to worship God and thank Him. Begin to declare His Word in prayer, praise, and prophecy. Speak to yourself in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and you will be filled with the Spirit. Remember, we've been made kings and priests unto God (Revelation 1 :6). So begin to pray in the Holy Ghost. Sing in the Holy Ghost. Dance in the Spirit. Laugh in the Spirit. Keep praising God and rejoicing in His presence, for in His presence, there's fullness of joy. Don't hold back. Get so full of the Holy Ghost until you're drunk in Him. That's where you function in all seven Spirits of God, and that's the secret to a life of the unending miraculous.
