And there shall come
forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
And the Spirit of the
Lord shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding, the Spirit of
Counsel and Might, the Spirit of Knowledge and of the Fear of the Lord
Isa 11:1-2 KJV
We have freely received the Holy Spirit, Who is “the
Promise of the Father” as prophesied in Scripture.
Wisdom comes from Him; He is the Spirit of Wisdom.
Divine Understanding comes from Him; the Spirit of
Understanding.
He is the Spirit of Counsel that gives us Counsel.
He is the Spirit of Might by Whom we are endued “with
Power from on high.”
Knowledge comes from Him; for He is the Spirit of
Knowledge.
And, the Fear of the Lord is inherent in us by the same
Spirit of the Fear of the Lord.
THE
SPIRIT OF THE SOVEREIGN LORD is the LORD—THE LORD
is THE SPIRIT (see II Cor. 3:17).
CHRIST is THE
WISDOM OF GOD (see I Cor. 1:24).
HE is UNDERSTANDING
PERSONIFIED (Prov. 8:14), Whom we must receive and comprehend (4:7); we appreciate
HIM by knowing HIM personally (9:10).
HE is THE
SPIRIT OF COUNSEL—Counsel and Sound Judgment are HIS (Prov. 8:14). HE is
wonderful in Counsel … (Isa. 28:29).
HE is THE
POWER OF THE OMIPOTENT GOD. HE comes in Great Power (Jdgs. 14:6; I Sam.
16:13; I Kgs.18:46). In HIS hands are Strength and Power (I Chron. 29:12). HIS
Power is vast (Job 9:4); who can understand the thunder of His Power? (26:14).
HE is THE
SPIRIT OF KNOWLEDGE. By His Knowledge the deep fountains of the Earth were
broken open, and the clouds let drop the dew (Prov. 3:20). Prudence and
Discretion dwells with HIM (8:12). Harmony, Insight and Inspiration comes only
through the Knowledge of the Holy One (30:3). The Earth shall be full of the Knowledge
of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea (Isa. 11:9).
THE
SPIRIT OF THE FEAR OF THE LORD teaches GOD’s children
THE FEAR OF THE LORD (Psa. 34:11). The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of
Wisdom, and of Knowledge (Ps. 111:10; Prov. 1:7). The Fear of the Lord is the
only True Wisdom (Job 28:28). The Fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever
(Ps 19:9). Without the Fear of the Lord, we cannot serve the Lord faithfully
and wholeheartedly (2 Chron. 19:9). The Fear of the Lord adds length to life
(Prov. 10:27). The Fear of the Lord is a Fountain of Life (14:27). The Fear of
the Lord is the Instruction of Wisdom (15:33). Humility and the Fear of the
Lord bring Wealth and Honor and Life (22:4). The Lord is the Sure Foundation
for our times; the Fear of the Lord is His Treasure (Isa 33:6).
Matthew 2:23 states that, the Lord Jesus went and lived
in a town called Nazareth, so that what was spoken through the prophets might
be fulfilled: “He shall be called a Nazarene”— referring to Isaiah 11:1 which
used the word, “Branch,” meaning: ‘Separated One’ (or a Nazarene).
Nazareth, a town in Galilee, separated, generally
supposed to be the Greek form of the Hebrew netser, a "shoot" or
"sprout."
Wisdom is personified in Proverbs 8.
In Revelation 5:5 He is the Root of David Who has
prevailed!
