Snow White And The Seven Spirits of God!

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God!  said Jesus in Matthew 5:8. John also said in 1 John 3:2-3, Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone that has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.  

Remember in the Gospel of Matthew 17:1-2, Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves, and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as the light.

Jesus became dazzling before the guys. I have  question to ask you.  Can you see character? What does it look like?  What does bad character look like or what does godly character look like?  Right, you cannot see any character from our natural eyes, but you can see the fruit of either godly or bad character. We live by what is in our hearts. Jesus’ heart was manifested before the three guys to let us know that is how godly character or the presence of the Holy Spirit in a man looked in the flesh. He was DAZZLING and BRILLIANT.

The definition of snow in Strong’s Concordance is to be snow white with the linen clothing of the slain… The definition of white from Strong’s is dazzling, sunny bright, evident, clear, dry, plainly white. The word pure in Strong’s Concordance in Hebrew is to be bright, to be pure, sound, clear, unadulterated, uncontaminated, innocent, holy, be, make self clean, cleanse, self purge, purify self. Hey, everyone, we are also dazzling with His Spirit too!

There is more than just the forgiveness of sins in God’s intent in redeeming mankind. God’s love is so immense and beyond what we can comprehend, He has much more in store for us…We are also risen to the Resurrection Life that is found in Christ, when we abide in Him, (His Word). His Word points us to His will. The Seven Spirits of God, the Holy Spirit, is  cleansing our ways and empowering us to continue to live white as snow…. in purity and in faithfulness in obedience.. to God.

We can try to pull the wool over our eyes and the eyes of people, but God sees the heart.  Jesus, our Leader, only had eyes to please the Father, not men. That is why men slandered Him to the point where He was deemed a criminal to warrant a death penalty.  People, mostly the religious, envied and hated the blatant obedience  and relationship Jesus had to Our Heavenly Father.  He spoke to Our Heavenly Father as if He could see Him….hmmmm

Proverbs 1:1-8 and Isaiah 11:2-3, speak of the anointing of the Holy Spirit. This is the character Jesus is expecting to find in us first, then we can minister Him to others.  This scripture in Isaiah is always referenced to Jesus, especially since He spoke it in the temple in Luke 4. However, God’s will is we are to live by His Spirit and Word in Proverbs 1:1-8. Check it out!  If you study these verses, they will show the intent of God for us is to live by His Spirit and His Word too.

(There is a reason there are 31 chapters of Proverbs, do you think it is one per day for the month? Yep! Don’t forget that it is written that God says My people perish for the lack of knowledge (I add- of the Truth). That was side note!)

We are washed as pure as snow, baptized into the fire of His Spirit. We walk with the Holy Spirit of God(Isaiah 1). His Spirit gives us gifts that are written out by Paul in 1 Corinthians 11.  If you study the gifts you will see they resemble the instructions of insight we are to obtain  in Proverbs  chapter 1:1-8 and Isaiah 11:2-3.  All gifts in the presence of the Holy Spirit enable us to walk  in the godly purity that Jesus expects us and to give God glory in His workings in men… It is written in Colossians 1:21-23, And you, who once were alienated by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.

In Strong’s concordance, the word transfigured and transformed are the same word to mean metamorphism,  change, transfigure, transform— in the Webster’s dictionary, the word transform means to change in nature…..

As I wrote in my book, we are little burning bushes that are consumed in fire but are not consumed! The Great Seven Spirits of God now are within us! The Holy Spirit is Counsel, Might, Understanding of the right ways of God, Wisdom, Knowledge and the Fear of the Lord, as well, as godly Judgment.   WOW!    This Great Spirit is within us with these character traits  making  our dark, light. This includes our understanding and discernment of all things pertaining to this life.

Picture you are driving in the dark, but then a Voice tells you to watch out for the ditch in front of you. You heed the Voice, and stop, you get out of the car….. Wow, there is the ditch, just as the Holy Spirit spoke…  God sees in the darkness, for light and darkness are the same to Him.  His Light illuminates our way that is in the dark, for nothing is hidden in His sight.  Even if we don’t see the ditch or the trap, He does and warns us. It is written His light is our light.

I wrote about this in My book in Revelation 19:7-8, Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready. And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints(that’s us- snow white!).  Also in Revelation 21:23, The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.

When walk by the Spirit and not by the flesh, we are illuminated in our natural dark sight to see the Truth as He sees. We get to see things as the Lord does with His eyes…. This life is the transforming of the saints of God…..His Spirit within us is the glory of God. ( Our only hope of glory.)

Something would be really wrong if after I brought in the stray animals to my home if they acted and looked like they did on the “streets/world”.  They have been transformed, their outside markings may look the same but their coats are shiny, their eyes are bright, full of health and may be a little pudgy. This is the proof that they are loved and their old life  is gone and forgotten. Even their actions are relaxed and softened, they trust us to take care of them.  They tend to look at me with excitement of what is the adventures today in this house?

Shouldn’t we have the same look of excitement and trust  towards our King   knowing His glory, the living Spirit of God, hidden from our  sight, is  living within us.  His Spirit, our Guide, is ready to show us  the hidden secrets in the Word and of heaven and earth. Remember to ask Him! Remember to seek Him! Have you knocked on His door?   You shall receive if you ask, seek and knock. Our God, the Holy Trinity, is always home!

The same Holy Spirit who warned Joseph to flee to Egypt is within you too. The same Holy Spirit who was with Daniel in the lions den is within you.  I, like David,  cry out,  give me Your grace but do not take Your Spirit away from me. For You are My Inheritance and my life, O Holy One. All love to the One who I do not see and believe,  He is here watching  and loving me.

Because His Love Never Fails! Tune in next time, for climbing higher to apprehend the One we love who dwells on High and also within our hearts… Hmmm….
