OUR FATHER WHOSE SPIRIT GIVES POWER TO LIVE IN GOD

The book of Isaiah chapter 11 verse 2 says this;

The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord—

This verse, speaking of the Messiah who was foretold, details the nature of His spiritual endowment.

The Messiah would first have the Spirit of the LORD rest upon Him which was fulfilled when the Holy Spirit rested upon the Lord Jesus Christ after His baptism in the River Jordan.

The Spirit of the Lord, working in the Lord Jesus Christ, would express the Spirit of Wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of Counsel and might, the Spirit of Knowledge and the fear of the Lord.

The ministry of the Lord Jesus would demonstrate all these manifestations of the Spirit of the Lord from the great  miracles that were performed to the teaching that conveyed great wisdom and knowledge.

And by the Spirit, the Lord Jesus, in the Spirit of the fear of the Lord, maintained a life of absolute obedience before His father.

Such was the expression of the Spirit of God through the life of the Lord Jesus.

Amen.
