In the church life we should not care primarily about a position but about shining: we need to be those shining and living, the living stars in the Lord’s hand. The Lord has the seven stars in His hand these are the seven messengers in the churches. I can’t go on living a routine Christian life and serving in a routine way in the church life. Come as the Spirit and search all my inward parts with my motive, desires, intentions, thoughts, decisions, and everything within. I need to be searched by the sevenfold intensified Spirit. Lord, I need to be burned by Your Spirit. It is good to open to the Lord and tell Him, The Lord needs to get through in us: He is the One with the seven stars and the seven Spirits, and He wants to search us and burn in our being until we are fully purified, made living, and intensely shining as His testimony on the earth. We need to not merely gain more knowledge about the condition and situation of the church but experience the Lord’s seven Spirits searching us and burning in us, searching and burning all our inward parts and our heart. We all need to open to the Lord and experience Him as the seven lamps of fire and the seven searching eyes so that we may be burned and searched. To the dead and dying church, Christ comes as the One with the seven Spirits as the seven lamps of fire to burn us, and the seven eyes of the Lamb to search us. 4:5, these seven Spirits are the seven lamps of fire burning before the throne of God they are the seven burning flames, and they are the seven piercing, searching, eyes of the Lamb. Just as a lamp can be turned up sevenfold to shine brighter because of the darkness around it, so the Spirit has been intensified sevenfold to counteract the degradation of the church.Īccording to Rev.
The seven Spirits of God are not yet another Spirit but the Spirit of God, the life-giving Spirit, the consummated Spirit, who in the book of Revelation has been intensified sevenfold due to the degradation of the church. To the dead and dying church in Sardis the Lord introduces Himself as He who has the seven Spirits of God (to make the church intensely living) and the seven stars (to make the church intensely shining), as per Rev.
