The 7 spirits of YHW are the 7 characters of YHW represented in the Menorah. “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 fear of the LORD.” Isaiah 11:2. I have been having an
ongoing relationship with all 7 to a larger degree with Wisdom, as she was the first Spirit I met in
heaven. And when you read about this “Paint My Message” encounter you will truly begin to get a
glimpse of her genius (research the Hebrew word for wisdom in Genesis and you will see she is
female). Understanding and Knowledge are crucial to the activation of Wisdom and “The fear of the
Lord is the beginning of wisdom” Psalm 111:10. Together, the three facets of YWH enmeshed with
the Spirit of Council and Might will catapult your grasp of Our Creator (Go to the Gate of the Armor
of YHW to get a preview of the multifaceted YHWH we serve). For more engagement with these
Spirits of YHW, I encourage you to connect with them in your regular prayer life. Details of the
encounters I have had with these individual characteristics of the Lord will be found in Gate 3 but
that doesn’t mean it isn’t time to begin your acknowledgment of YHWH’s nature and His direct
interest in your daily walk.
