Revelation 1:4

⁴ John to the seven assemblies (churches) that are in Asia: May grace (God’s unmerited favor) be granted to you and spiritual peace (the peace of Christ’s kingdom) from Him Who is and Who was and Who is to come, and from the seven Spirits [the sevenfold Holy Spirit] before His throne,

·        The number 7 represents God’s timing, His completion, His fullness, blessing, sanctification, rest, kingship, or rule in prophecy.

·        Asia means: sunrise.

·        Grace comes from the Greek word: Charis it means that which affords joy, pleasure, delight, favor, loving kindness. The merciful kindness by which God exerts His influence on our souls, turns them to Christ, strengthens us, keeps us and increases our faith.

·        Laboring together [as God’s fellow workers] with Him then, we beg of you not to receive the grace of God in vain [that merciful kindness by which God exerts His holy influence on souls and turns them to Christ, keeping and strengthening them—do not receive it to no purpose]. 2 Corinthians 6:1

·        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 of the reverential and obedient fear of the Lord-- Isaiah 11:2

·        The Seven Spirits is an explanation of all that our Father’s Spirit, the Holy Spirit, does for us. John tells us that the Seven fold Spirit is before our Father’s Throne. He tells us that the Seven Fold Spirit is before the Throne to show us that He is serving us while we are still on the earth; the Spirit is before the Throne not in the Throne, thus indicating serving the children of God on the earth. The Holy Spirit is wise and He causes us to be wise as well. The Holy Spirit is understanding, He lead us to salvation even when we were lost, without any works, and He causes us to forgive as we have been forgiven. The Holy Spirit counsels us, He teaches us all things. Our Father is mighty and so is His Spirit and the Holy Spirit causes us to be more than conquerors through Christ Who loves us. He is greater in us than anything that is in this world. Our Father is knowledgeable, He knows why everything is and where it is going, and Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to show us plainly things to come. The Holy Spirit causes us to be reverent towards our Father. He causes us to be deeply respectful of our Father. Then finally the Holy Spirit causes us to obey our Father. He causes us to walk in our Fathers statutes and He causes us to keep our Father’s judgments. 

·        So one of the first things that Jesus tells us with His Revelation of the end times is that our Father will absolutely keep us and empower us. He tells us that His Grace and His Spirit will cause us to be all that He has called us to be.
