The seven Spirits of God who are before His throne in Revelation are the one Spirit who has been intensified sevenfold in its function and operation to counteract the degradation of the church; the seven Spirits are working in the churches, so the churches will surely go forward, and we need to see and experience the sevenfold intensified Spirit today!
Lord Jesus, unveil us to see that the Spirit has been intensified sevenfold to counteract and overcome the degradation of the church. Oh Lord, in this dark age when the church is in degradation, may we open to Your seven Spirits, the sevenfold intensified Spirit. Come in, Lord, as the seven Spirits to operate in us, work in us, intensify Your organic salvation in us, save us from any degradation, and make us Your overcomers. Come, oh seven Spirits, come, and do Your recovery work, Your sanctifying work, and Your bride-producing work! Amen!
Our Christ today is not only in resurrection but also in ascension, and He is the Son of Man as a High Priest. Even more, He is the Lion-Lamb-stone; He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the redeeming Lamb of God, and the stone for God’s building.
What God is after today is the building up of the church for the bringing in of the new man, the bride of Christ, and the New Jerusalem.
He wants to gain a corporate group of people who are not only redeemed and regenerated but are also renewed, transformed, conformed to the image of Christ, and glorified, and they are built up to be the reality of the Body of Christ.
For this, Christ is the Lamb with seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth in all the earth. Wherever we are, the seven Spirits are there as the seven eyes of the Lamb.
When someone looks at us, when we behold his face and in particular his eyes, we see what he wants, we sense what he feels, and we know whether he is happy or not with us.
When we behold the Lord face to face, both in our time with Him personally and in the meetings of the church and also throughout the day, when we turn our heart to Him and just touch Him in spirit, the seven eyes of the Lamb are there to look at us.
At first, we feel judged and exposed, for the Lord is faithful to shine and expose anything that is not according to Him in us, in our living, in our expression, in our speaking, and even in our attitude.
If we just say Amen to His shining, He removes what needs to be removed, and He infuses us with what He is to make us the same as He is, shining and bright, even those who are the testimony of Jesus today!
The Seven Spirits of God: the one Spirit is Intensified Sevenfold for God’s Move and Work and to Counteract the Degradation in the Church

The book of Revelation reveals to us the seven Spirits – not just one Spirit but seven Spirits (Rev. 1:4; 4:5; 5:6). Wow, there are seven Spirits today!
From Genesis all the way to Revelation we see the Father, the Son, and the Spirit, and the Spirit is one; however, in Revelation, the Spirit is seven Spirits, and even more, in Revelation 1:4 the seven Spirits are mentioned as the second when John mentions the Triune God.
In Matthew 28:19 we are told of the Father and the Son and the Spirit; in Revelation 1:4 we see the Father and the seven Spirits and Christ – the order has been changed.
There are seven Spirits before the throne of God. The seven Spirits are undoubtedly the Spirit of God because They are ranked among the Triune God.
But why are they seven, and are there really seven different Spirits today, not one Spirit? The number seven in the Bible is the number for completion in God’s operation; the seven Spirits must be for God’s move on the earth.
We need to see that, in essence and existence, God’s Spirit is one; however, in the intensified function and work of God’s operation, God’s Spirit is sevenfold.
This is similar to the lampstand in Zechariah 4:2; there is one lampstand, but the function is of seven lamps. One lampstand, seven lamps.
We may have such a light fitting in our house that has levels of brightness which can be increased; there is a lower level, then higher and higher until it reaches full light, even the brightest light as we turn the knob of the dimmer or use the switch.
The Spirit is one in His essence, but He has been intensified sevenfold today because of the dark age today. At the time the book of Revelation was written, which is also the time of today, the church became degraded.
Today the age is very dark, and darkness is prevailing. Even more, the church is degraded, for in general, the church today is in degradation, not being up to the Lord’s standard.
The sevenfold Spirit of God is needed for God’s move and work on the earth.
Because of the degradation of the church in this dark age, the one Spirit of God has been intensified sevenfold to counteract the degradation of the church, produce the overcomers, and consummate the New Jerusalem.
Seven is the number of completion in God’s dispensational move; twelve is the number of completion in God’s eternal administration.
God created the earth in six days plus one Sabbath day; seven days for God’s move and work. In the book of Revelation we see seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven bowls – all are for God’s dispensational move.
The Spirit of God has been intensified sevenfold, on the negative side, to counteract the degradation in the church, and on the positive side, to carry out God’s move and work today, consummating in the New Jerusalem.
We can testify that the age today is dark; it is darker today than it was many years ago.
You only need to turn on the news or go among people today and you realise that darkness has been normalised, truth is being trampled underfoot, lies and untruths prevail, and immorality and crime prevail.
Even in the church among the genuine Christians, degradation prevails, and it seems that not many are seeking after God, not many desire His return, and the love of many is growing cold.
But we need to lift up our eyes from the current situation of degradation and look to the Lord, who as the Spirit has been intensified sevenfold!
We now live in the age of the Spirit, for the Spirit speaks to the churches (Rev. 2:7, 11, 17, 29; 3:6, 13, 22; 14:13; 22:17) and works all over the earth to carry out God’s administration and consummate the New Jerusalem!
There is a crucial need for the seven Spirits today for the Lord’s move on earth and for counteracting of the degradation in the churches!
Lord Jesus, unveil us to see that the one Spirit of God has been intensified sevenfold to be the seven Spirits of God! Hallelujah for the sevenfold intensified Spirit! Wow, there are seven Spirits of God before the throne, and they are sent all over the earth to carry out God’s move! Amen, Lord, intensify Your organic salvation in us. We open to You as the seven Spirits to come in and counteract any degradation in the church. Shine brighter and brighter in us, among us, and through us, especially in this dark age. We praise You as the sevenfold intensified Spirit in God’s move! We open to You! Bring Your work in us to consummation. Save us from any darkness and degradation. Make us Your overcomers. Produce and consummate the New Jerusalem! Amen, Lord, even in this age of degradation, may You not only save us from degradation but even more, gain Your overcomers, gain Your bride, and gain the New Jerusalem! Hallelujah, the Spirit of God is intensified sevenfold in God’s move and work today!
In this Dark Age, we need to See and Experience the Sevenfold Intensified Spirit in the Churches

We may read the book of Revelation and see things such as a Lamb with seven horns and seven eyes, seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, and seven Spirits of God, and we may be quite confused, for we may not know what this is and how it relates to our Christian life.
However, if we open to the Lord and allow Him to shine, and if we get into the truth in God’s word with the help of the ministry of the age, we realise that, in this dark age, we need to see and experience the sevenfold intensified Spirit in the churches.
We are now in the age of the Spirit, for today the Spirit is intensified sevenfold to intensify God’s work in all of us to produce us as the overcomers, carry out God’s administration, and consummate the New Jerusalem.
There’s a crucial need for the sevenfold intensified Spirit to counteract the degradation of the church for God’s move.
Today the seven Spirits are working in the churches, so the churches will surely go forward. On our side, we need to see and experience the sevenfold intensified Spirit – the Spirit of recovery.
Thank the Lord that we are in the local churches, where the sevenfold intensified Spirit operates and works.
Because the seven Spirits work in the churches, we will definitely go on. We need to pray and open to the Lord to operate in us as the sevenfold intensified Spirit. We may even ask Him to intensify us for His move.
We simply need to open to the seven Spirits to work in us and operate in us. How does He work or operate in us for God’s move?
The seven Spirits of God are the seven eyes of the Lamb (Rev. 5:6), and these eyes are for moving. If we’re blind, it will be difficult for us to move, but if we see things properly, we can move and work freely.
Today the seven eyes of the Lamb are watching, observing, and transfusing. When we look at someone who loves us, we can sense their love in their eyes, for their love is transfused into us through the eyes.
When Christ looks at us with His seven eyes, we may be terrified at first, for His eyes as lamps of fire expose and burn anything negative in us. But as we open to Him, these seven eyes will transfuse the element of Christ into us.
As we behold the Lord, we also reflect Him (2 Cor. 3:18), and we are transformed into His image, even from glory to glory.
Outwardly, the outer man is decaying, but inwardly, the inner man is being renewed day by day as allow the Lord to look at us, judge us, search us, and infuse us with Himself (2 Cor. 4:16).
We do not look at what we see, for the things that are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal (v. 18).
We simply open our being to Him. This is what He wants: to open to Him. If we simply give Him the ground in the depths of our being, even though there may not be a lot of changes outwardly, the Lord has a way as the sevenfold intensified Spirit to do much in us.
We are in the age of the Spirit, and the Spirit has been intensified sevenfold; if we open to Him just a little, He is able to do so much, for He is intensified!
We may have wandered far from the Lord and far from the church life, and we may think there’s not enough time for us, now that we have returned to the Lord, to be the Lord’s overcomers.
But the Lord is recovering us and He is intensifying His organic salvation in us. If we’re serious with the Lord for His economy at the end of this age, the seven Spirits of God will work in us.
If we are not held back by our previous experience and we do not linger in the past but simply open our whole being to Him, the sevenfold intensified Spirit is able to do so much!
May we not believe the lie of the enemy who says that we have wasted so much time, we are so far from the Lord, and we have not been regular in the meetings of the church.
May we just open to Christ as the sevenfold intensified Spirit today. May we come to the Lord again and again and ask Him to operate in us.
We refuse to listen to the enemy’s lies and we simply apply the blood of the Lamb, wash our robes, and come forward to eat the tree of life (Rev. 22:14).
We believe in the blood, not in our capacity to improve; we believe in the Lord’s intensified work, not in our ability to change for the better.
And we depend on the Lord. We ask Him to come as the seven Spirits and accomplish His recovery work in us.
We allow Him to search us, burn us, and sanctify us thoroughly as we live the Christian life in the church life in the local churches.
May we see and experience the sevenfold intensified Spirit, the Spirit of recovery, in the local churches today!
Lord Jesus, we want to see and experience the sevenfold Spirit, the intensified Spirit, the Spirit of recovery! Oh Lord, we do not listen to the enemy’s lies and distractions: we simply come to You and we open to You! We open to You from the depths of our being. Look at us with Your seven eyes. Keep us beholding You. May You expose, judge by enlightening, and purify us of anything that doesn’t match You. Oh Lord, infuse us with Yourself by looking at us! Keep us beholding You until we are made the same as You are and we reflect You! May Your seven eyes transfuse the element of Christ into us. Amen, Lord, come as the seven Spirits and carry out Your recovery work in us! Come, seven Spirits, come, and do Your sanctifying, cleansing, and building work in us! We in the local churches are fully open to You as the sevenfold intensified Spirit! Intensify us for Your move. Intensify Your organic salvation in us and in all the saints. Gain the opening You need in us for You to produce us as Your overcomers!

Morning Nourishment
Praise the Lord.
At the time that the book of Revelation was written, the church had become degraded and the age was exceedingly dark hence Revelation 1:4 speaks of “the seven Spirits who are before His throne”.
As seven is the number for completion in God’s operation, so the seven Spirits are for God’s move on the earth. In essence and existence, God’s Spirit is one; in the intensified function and work of God’s operation, God’s Spirit is sevenfold.
The sevenfold intensified Spirit of God was needed for God’s move and work on the earth. This reveals the importance of the intensified function of the sevenfold Spirit of God. as confirmed by the repeated emphasis on the Spirit’s speaking.
Praise the Lord that the seven Spirits are working in the churches, to counteract the degradation of the church for God’s move so the churches will surely go forward.
Today we need to see and experience the sevenfold Spirit, the intensified Spirit, the Spirit of recovery.
There is a crucial need of the Spirit today for God to counteract the degradation of the church.
For God’s move in today’s darkness, the one Holy Spirit is intensified sevenfold; the Spirit’s function is sevenfold.
Seven is the number of completion in God’s dispensational move. The sevenfold Spirit is also the seven eyes of the Lamb.
The Lamb’s seven eyes are for searching, observing & transfusing.
We can be terrified at the thought of seven eyes looking at us, but eventually those seven eyes will transfuse Christ into us.
Hallelujah for the seven eyes of the Lamb and for the sevenfold intensified Spirit of God. Yes, all the churches are for Him. He is our church-loving Christ.
