The expression of the Spirit

“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 of the fear of the LORD;”          
Isaiah 11:1-2(KJV)

The word translated spirit in verse two of our opening scripture is the Hebrew word 'ruach'. It refers to breath, wind, or spirit especially of a rational being. That suggests to us that the Holy Spirit has intelligence. In  Romans 8:27 the Bible talks about the mind of the Spirit. So we can deduce that the Spirit of God has a mind.

The word spirit in our opening scripture also refers to the functions and the expressions of the Spirit. So when we talk about the Spirit of wisdom, it does not mean that there is a spirit called wisdom or another spirit called knowledge, or counsel. No. It refers to the functions or the expressions of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

I want you to know that there are various expressions of the Holy Spirit in our lives. In other words, the Holy Spirit can express Himself in your life as wisdom, knowledge, understanding, counsel, might, etc. Therefore if there is any area of your life where you are experiencing any weakness, I encourage you to take advantage of any of the expressions of the Spirit that you desire in your life to augment your potential today.

PRAYER
Dear Father I ask for the supply of your spirit towards me today. Thank you for the Spirit of Lord rest upon me, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord functions in me in their fullness today in Jesus Name. Amen.
