The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD. Isaiah 11:2

The original teachings of the “Gifts of the Holy Spirit” was actually revealed by Isaiah. When Jesus preached in the synagogue about the “The Spirit of Yahweh” being upon him (Luke 4) the religious leaders quickly wanted to kill him. Why? Because they knew exactly what he was saying, here is another example of the Trinity, where the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit come together in complete unison

You might say why would Jesus need the Holy Spirit when he is the Son of God? Remember Jesus came to Earth in human form as a man, to become The Lamb of God to take the punishment for our sins. In order for Jesus to accomplish this, he must have become human just like us

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:4

The Gifts of The Holy Spirit which Paul teaches about here are the same that Isaiah revealed which were demonstrated through Jesus Christ.  Each one of us has different gifts given to us by God, but regardless of how different we may all be spiritually , all the gifts come from the Holy Spirit

Some are anointed to preach, some are anointed to heal, whatever your gift is don’t compare yourself to other Christians. We all have our purpose to serve in Gods Kingdom! Jesus had all the gifts, showing that he was truly the Messiah, the Son of God

Heavenly Father, we pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit, may we empower us in Jesus Name Amen

And the light of Israel will become a fire and his Holy One a flame, And it will burn and devour his thorns and his briars in a single day. Isaiah 10:17

Its no mistake that God would reference his Holy One a flame and a fire. The coming of the Holy Spirit which was fulfilled on the day of Pentecost is referenced as a flame and fire throughout the Bible. So why fire? Because fire is used to transform , just as heat is used to forge things or transform a rock into a diamond. It is also used to devour and eliminate such as dead wood or brush

And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them. Acts 2:3

When the Holy Spirit came to Jerusalem it was described as “tongues of fire” The Holy Spirit that was fortold by Jesus came to empower The Church. Just as the prophet Isaiah fortold the Holy One (the Holy Spirit) is a flame. How can the gospel of Christ be spread so quickly to establish the Church? The fire of the Holy Spirit, which broke down all nationalities and language barriers to bring everyone to salvation

for our God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:29

God , the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, is a consuming Fire! The fire that will empower and strengthen the lost and weak, the same flame that will devour the wicked and evil. Invite the Holy Spirit into your life today, the consuming fire in Jesus Name Amen!

The people who walk in darkness Will see a great light; Those who live in a dark land, The light will shine on them. Isaiah 9:2

Jesus is The Light of The World, he has brought hope and life, to a lost and broken world. Who are the people who walk in darkness? We all are, we are all sinners and condemned by the wages of our sins. However Jesus Christ, The Light of the World, took upon himself the penalty of our sins, so we can come out of the darkness

Who lives in a dark land? This is reference to us the Gentiles, who now through Jesus Christ can be children of God. Remember the Jewish people had a personal covenant with God and that excluded all Gentiles. Through Jesus Christ, he has created a New Covenant to allow us to be part of his eternal Kingdom

Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” John 8:12

Jesus declared he is The Light of The World, fulfilling the Isaiah prophecies among many. Those who understood this prophecy, understood what Jesus was saying. Follow Jesus and come out of the darkness of this world. Only through Christ can we inherit eternal life and be a part of Gods Kingdom

Heavenly Father, thank you for the light given to us even though we don’t deserve it, may the world recognize this light and repent in Jesus Name Amen

When they say to you, “Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter,” should not a people consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living? Isaiah 8:19

Who do you turn to in your time of need? Who do you thank when you are blessed?  In todays world we see people going to different sources for answers or maybe internal peace. People are consulting with fortune tellers, tarot cards, and Ouija boards. Any contact with the dead is strictly forbidden for a good reason, they are really demons!

Some people use these various methods out of desperation, some use them for entertainment. Regardless you are opening a portal to the demonic world. Jesus spent most of his ministry “casting out demons” from people. With all the evil in our world its easy to see that demons are still influencing and possessing people today. Don’t allow yourself to be overtaken by this evil

“Now He is not the God of the dead but of the living; for all live to Him.” Luke 20:38

Our God is a God of the living and not the dead, so why do you try to consult the dead for answers. True answers, True peace, True power comes from our God. Call upon God and he will send you The Holy Spirit for wisdom, peace, and strength. Don’t open the door for Satan, because Jesus Christ is the only door to eternal life Amen!

Heavenly Father, guard us from demons and evil, keep us protected under your wing , in Jesus Name Amen!
