In The Presence Of God/The Lord

"Revelation 4:2-5 - Seven Lamps Of Fire Were Burning Before The Throne Which Are The Seven Spirits Of God!"

---

Good morning, good morning to you. I hope you had a wonderful night well rested. Ready for another day in the Lord. Let's go to the Lord in prayer. Heavenly Father, we come before you this morning. We thank you for your goodness, your mercy towards us.  

This is the day that you have made, we are rejoicing and we are colliding. Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, and we are crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, we live, would hit us, but Christ lives by faith in us, his word, his scriptures dwells in us richly.  

We are able to stand and say we are blessed, we are healed, we are set free, sickness cannot dwell in us. The number of our days you will fulfill. Sin will not dominate us because the seed of God's word lives in us.  

We believe that Jesus came and died on the cross and we now have the abundant life and the victory that he provides. No weapon formed against us and we are more than conquerors because of his great love greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world.  

And we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us as the redeemed of the Lord we say so. We thank you for this very moment that you're opening your ears to be attentive to us as we devote this portion of the day to you, Lord.  

Open our eyes, open our ears so that we can hear the very essence of your spirit speak to us and in return we will say Amen and Amen, knowing Lord that your word is true, yay and it's Amen.  

So bless us this day as we look at this passage of scripture in Jesus name, Amen. We are looking at things that takes place in God's presence. So that we, you and I can have a clear understanding and have greater expectation every time when the presence of God is with us.  

So for today we are in Revelation 4, now I love the Book of Revelation and for the first reason, I love the Book of Revelation is that God gives us insight to things that are to come and it's a privileged and honor that he could actually do that. 

Otherwise there is really no reason why he would and you could have just hidden this from us and kept it a mystery. But the fact that he chose, in his infinite wisdom to give this insight and vision to John so that you and I have an idea of what's coming, it's that in itself is remarkable.  

This is why this book, when we read it as a very beginning of it, it says blessed are the people. We will read the words in this book allowed so in this moment, as you're about to read this.   

You and I have to know that we are blessed because we are about to read this book aloud, because that's what it says, that if you read this book aloud, you will bless so which means that the days that you feel kind of down.  

The days things are not going on well. You can just go and read the Book of Revelation aloud and God says you are blessed if you do that. So let's go, we are in chapter 4:1, now before I read something 4 the start of chapter 4. 

In Chapter 3 God shows John, these seven different churches that will exist towards the or nearing the return of Christ. He gives them 7 so that people are not mistaken. So that even as you attend churches, as you attend places, you can look at this chapter here and find out what kind of a church you are part of. 

So that you also are not found without this information. So God is so intricate that he says John, right to the whole of human race that they should know that towards my return these are the seven chase type of churches that will exist.  

So that we can make a choice, so we can make informed decision as we continue with this journey of life. So after God shows John vision of the seven churches in Chapter 4 he proceeds to show John the throne in the heaven.  

So John then starts off with this, he says after this I looked and there before me was the door standing open in heaven and the voice I heard first, the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet and it said come up here and I will show you what must take place after this.  

These words are just read we have written over 2000 years ago. Which means that in God's calendar, whatever that's going on right now is what was shown to John and come up here. 

Let me show you very quickly what must take place and at once I was in the spirit and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it and the one who set the has the appearance of Jasper and Ruby.  

A rainbow that shone like an emerald in cycled the throne surrounding the thrones were 24 other thrones were 24 other thrones and seated on them were 24 elders, they were dressed in white and they had crowns of God on their heads from the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and pearls of thunder. 

In front of the throne 7 lamps were blazing, these are the seven spirits of God and also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass. Clear as crystal in the center around the throne, with four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes in front and back.  

The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox. The third had a face, like a man. The 4th was like a Flying eagle each of these four living created at six wings and was covered with ice all around, even under its wings day and night. 

They never stop saying Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty was and is and is to come when the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits On the throne and will live forever and ever the 24 elders. Fall down before him, who sits on the throne and worship him, who lives forever and ever.  

They lay their crowns before the throne and say you are worthy, our Lord God, to receive glory and honor and power for you created all things and by your will they were created and we have their being. Beautiful scene, beautiful scene.  

So the second thing, the second thing that God shows John right after he shows the seven churches. Is shores in my throne and on the throne, he sees worship now. So we are getting a privilege and a vision of worship taking place in heaven to give us a clear understanding of what's coming.  

Now the thing I want us to focus on today is the seven spirits of God. We remember, Lord prayer says our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thine and thy Kingdom come and thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  

They will be done on Earth as it is in heaven, and a few weeks ago we said that the reason why that prayer is structured in that way is because God's will was not being done on Earth. That's why Jesus will say when you pray, make sure you include these words. Because prior to my coming, the will of God was not being executed in Earth.  

So now once you are born again and you're walking, make sure that you pray these words because God's will must be done on earth as it is in heaven. Now we are seeing heaven and was taking place. Which tells us that we must do the will of the Father as it is in heaven, and the will of this and the will of the Father is to be worshipped.  

So we see was she taking place in the heaven, the 24 elders and the angels. They never stopped night and day to sing Holy, Holy the Lord God Almighty and the elders in rare response also worshipped him. And the scripture tells us that as they were doing this. There was 7 spirits of God and for you and I, we need to know this.  

Because in his presence, where there is fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore. We have to know that God 7 spirits will always be present, will always be present every time we encounter his presence.  

So the seven spirits of God, Isaiah also mentioned this in Isaiah 11:2. He describes the Messiah being filled with the spirit of God. And then he lists several aspects of the spirit of God and here we go. Wisdom 1, understanding 2, counsel 3, mighty 4, knowledge 5 then and the fear of the Lord and the spirit of the Lord.  

So this is what we should expect when we encounter God's presence. That in his presence, in his presence. There's going to be spirit, there's going to be wisdom. There’s going to be understanding, counsel, might, knowledge and the fear of the Lord.  

And as I was reading this scripture, I realized why over and over again in the scriptures, when everybody, when every person who encounters God's presence, the first thing, the angels that came to visit would say, is fear not, fear not.  

Now these scriptures are incredibly fascinating and they say fear not. And then they also have the scripture say fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom. So encounters we see in the scriptures.  

We see where an angel says fear not, because in his presence the fear of God is accentuated. Can you imagine encountering a being that is infinite? As big as God is. If you are to encounter his presence of course we are going to be afraid in our fleshly ways. 

Hence, we hear fear not. That we should expect understanding when we meet God. We should expect the fear of the Lord when we meet him. We should also expect wisdom. We should expect counsel.  

This is why guys every time you are in his presence. You are either going to experience these 7 here. You might be counseled and given instructions of things to do, you might be given power to go and execute something you have to be given knowledge of something to come.  

Like writing this in Revelations 4, John is being given knowledge of things to come and of course, definitely you're going to fear the Lord. And when you do that, when you experience that sea of the Lord, that's the onset, the onset of your wisdom.  

So in other words, we get wisdom in his presence. Because of our fear of his presence. Man we serve such a beautiful girl. The way he has structured his relationship with us is unbelievably intricate. That he knows exactly what we need.  

And as a Father he made it in a way that every time he encounters any human being in his presence that we are going to experience or one of these seven spirits. So that we are continuously being refined. So which means you could experience God in one particular day and it gives you knowledge of things to come. 

Then you would experience in tomorrow and he gives you wisdom of things to come. Then you could experience them on another particular day and the spirit of counsel shows up. This is why we can be in a church service hence lifted up high as the presence of God is in the place and every single person gets what they want. 

Because when we experience his presence, these seven spirits of God comes with it. That's the God we serve. That’s to God we serve. That's how much he loves you and I.  

So brothers and sisters when we raise our expectations now or when we encounter the presence of God. We should all know after the encounter what did God come to give me, was it wisdom? Was it counsel? Was it the power of his might? Was the fear of the Lord? Was it spirit we enjoyed?  

Was it knowledge? Was it understanding? And knowing this it raises your expectations and then you're never, you're never trying to figure this out. Rather we will be full of knowledge of what it is we walked away with when we experienced his presence.  

Now the scripture says to you and I, says my people who? You and I he says we perish because we lack knowledge. So God is trying to give us the knowledge that we need as we encounter him so that we never perish. That's how intricate God is.  

So the seven spirits of God. We are going to encounter them every time we are in his presence. And we should know what they are so that when you give, you are never in doubt of what just took place. Never in doubt.  

So today we are blessed because we read the words of this prophecy aloud. So God is blessing us today and in his presence their pleasures forevermore. So even this encounter here is in this moment here that we are gathered on this prayer call in his presence.  

Everybody's walking away with something and you should know what it is that you're walking away with. In order to continue enhancing your existence and your relationship with him. So let us pray.  

Heavenly Father our wonderful savior. Words cannot express the magnitude of who you are. The way you've layered yourself and where you have put things in place and structured them in such an incredible phenomenal way.  

That when we encounter you, every single person will receive whenever they so desire, according to the will and your riches in glory. And we know your riches in glory, includes the enjoyment of the spirit of God. 

It includes wisdom in a close understanding, counsel, might knowledge and the fear of the Lord. So we thank you, Heavenly Father for who you are in us and we thank you for laying things so intricate that we in an effort to continue to bless us in our journey towards heaven.  

We thank you, Holy Father for your goodness and your mercy, we thank you, Lord, for every single time that your presence shows up. So we bless you Father, we would thank you for all that you have done and what, you're still going to do. May our days be filled with your presence.  

May our days be filled with joy at the right hand of the Father and the pleasures that you supply to every single one of us, according to your riches and glory. So Father as we go through this day open our eyes and our ears as we encountered different ones.  

As we encounter different situations and remind us the day and nights, as elders and angels in the heavens worshipping your day and night.  

Hence we will, we will, and we will never start a worship sad rather than we join in with what's already taking place in the heavens. To help us on days that we sing along in worship, help us as we sing along some songs that touches our souls.  

To remember that we are always joining in with the angelic hosts that is worshipping your day and night in the heavens. It's a privilege and honor that you revealed yourself in the events that takes place on the throne of grace.  

Father, we are blessed because we have insights to that which is coming. So we bless you and honor you. Help us in our quest to continue practicing what we will forever be doing for the rest of our lives. That’s worshipping you around the throne of grace. 

Thank you that we are surrounded by a cloud of witnesses. Those who died for this gospel. Who were executing their work in the heavens in order for us to follow, in the path where they laid out for us.  

So help us in our desire to do what's right. Help us in our desire to do what is according to the scriptures. We know, Lord, that our efforts don't mean anything if your presence is not there.  

So I thank you Lord that even in our desire to do right, sometimes we make mistakes but you Lord we know that in your presence we find counsel, knowledge, understanding, wisdom, fear of the Lord. And we thank you, Lord, that you have this corrective measures to help us in our quest to do that, which is right. 

So Father as we go through this day here, may you continue to bless your people for everything that we need. Where you supply according to your riches in glory.

I pray Lord, that may you continue to yield every single one of us physically, emotionally, mentally or any other way that you saw desire to do whatever you desire to do in us.  

Lord, we give you permission to help us in our quest to be righteous and holy with you. Father, we pray, Lord, that as we continue to study your presence that you are setting the pathway for us to experience what is coming.  

So we bless you in advance for all that you are fixing in us and all that you are doing in us and adding in us so that when we get to the other side, we surely know that God was with us. We bless every family.  

Every child that is represented here and those who are connected to us, those we have met, those who became family in Christ, we blessed them. Knowing fully well that our prayers are being heard in the heavens and God, you are so quick to execute your will in the earth.  

So bless our children, even as they're getting ready to go back to school. We thank you, Lord, that this has been an incredible, phenomenal summer and as it winds down, we pray for an accident free end of summer.  

And Father, I pray Lord, as you ready them to go to school. May your spirit govern every thought and every idea in the name of Jesus. Bless the seniors amongst us. Good health, strength and wisdom, spirit of counsel.  

So that what they have learnt in experience can teach those who are coming behind them. So I pray for wisdom to be our daily portion for seniors amongst us. And I pray Lord that may you give them an opportunity to minister to someone who desperately need wisdom. 

Thank you for their journey. Thank you for their experiences. And we pray, Lord that may you continue to bless and strengthen Sarge, Nina, Mother Mary, mother Carrie. Mother Jones. Blessed these amongst us that you have given to us as the measure of wisdom because of their experience. 

We pray, Lord that made your hand continue to be upon them as you heal every single part of their body. And we pray, Lord, that in these wise years that God good health is part of their portion in the name of Jesus.  

We pray for clarity of mind that they will not deal with any of these 21st century diseases in the name of Jesus, we command the blessing of the Lord to be upon them. That God, they have a place amongst us in the name of Jesus.  

So heal and bless and strengthen all the seniors amongst us in the name of Jesus, we commit them to you and we thank you for their journey and what they represent in faith.

Now bless them mightily that they will lack for nothing. That their children and grandchildren will be blessed and that they're all coming to the knowledge of Christ.  

May you hear and honor their prayers in the name of Jesus. These intercessors amongst us. Those you have walked with for a long time now, we thank you Lord for you have placed them in our midst.  

And we bless them in the name of Jesus, who bless every mother for all they have done to raise these wonderful souls and gifts you have given to us, may you continue to place every single mother with ideas and things to execute in order for our families to continue standing in your presence. 

I pray for fathers that the spirit of teaching may rest upon us so that we continue to teach the things that shall become sound doctrine. And I pray for wisdom, knowledge, understanding to the part of our position as we execute the roles that you have placed us to execute in this earth may grandfathers have access to their grandchildren.  

May our voice have true meaning to every single one of those you have given to us. Father, your word says that we have the ability to affect 3rd and 4th generation. So we know Lord, that our voices are tremendous weights to those who we have sired.  

So, Father, I pray that as we pray for them. That may we affect 3rd and 4th generation according to your will in the scriptures. We bless you and honor you. We pray for aunts, nieces, nephews, cousins that God, may the blessing of God, be extended to them due to what we are doing.  

And will forever be grateful to you, if there's anyone sick amongst us, I pray that may your presence yield every single one of us. Take away pain, take away physical and bodily pain, take away Lord emotional pain.  

If there's things that have taken place in our lives that has left a mark in our souls. I pray Lord, that may your spirit come and remove that which is establishing block in our lives. Above all else give us Jesus.  

Because we are desperately in need of him in this hour. Thank you for all that you do for us. So as we lean and go through this day. Let your will be done in our lives as it is in heaven and may you continue to lead us not into temptation, but to deliver us from the evil one, for the thy is the Kingdom, the power and the glory, forever and ever, Amen.  

Brothers and sisters the seven spirits of God that we will encounter in its presence you know them and he should know after you have encountered the Lord what you got.

Because God is never going to show up and not leave something for us to enjoy or for us to fix, or for us to gain understanding or knowledge or wisdom.  

Whatever he desires to give us. But know it so that these moments and these times are never wasted. May the Lord bless you, bless your families, your children, nieces and nephews and cousins. 

And may you not want for anything as God supplies according to his riches and glory, and remember the just shall live by faith.  

May the Lord bless you. Thank you for praying for us. We got here safely and we continue to pray for us as we pray for you and as we continue to strengthen one another in Christ.
