Sevenfold Spirit of God

Mon, 12/05/2008 - 09:14 -- James Oakley

Peter Leithart is characteristically rich in his Pentecost Homily from yesterday.

Just two sentences to whet the appetite, and then I’ll leave you to go read. (Anyone who has read any of his Blessed Are the Hungry will know how enjoyably rich it will be.)

“What do we have when we have the seven Spirits of God? We have creative wisdom, power, effective speech. And more.”

“What do we have when we have the seven Spirits of God? We have the breath of life; we have God’s wind that tears down and builds up; we have God’s anointing oil of joy and gladness; we have God’s rain, who refreshes the wilderness.”

Now enjoy reading how he develops that throughout Scripture
