PMS? Just feed me sugar, and lots of it, preferably in the form of Belgian Buns

Amen, the Lord has a remnant in this country and He is building His church! This country has certainly changed within my lifetime. "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust" "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places"

Hi Dani, Thanks for starting this thread, should be interesting. Seven spirits are mentioned later on in Revelation too: Rev 3:1 ...'These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars' Rev 4:5 'And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire [were] burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. ' Rev 5:6... And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.' There is similar imagary in Zechariah 4 These seem to refer to the seven spirits as God - which would be consistent with the context in the greeting: Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ one interpretation I've come across is that the seven spirits refers to 7 aspects of the Holy Spirit as mentioned in Isaiah 11:2 '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.'
