Now here is the mystery of the unseen: These two words Holy Spirit, are mentioned seven (7) times through the holy scriptures. Do you remember that in Revelation 5:6, we have the seven Spirits of God. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
  Let’s recap: first, there is ONE God and Father of the redeemed, and there is only ONE mention of Holy Father, and this is by the holy child Jesus, who is called holy child twice. So, we see two positions in the Godhead fulfilled in both word and numbers. Now we must investigate the seven mentions of the Holy Spirit to conclude the fulness of the Godhead, the fullness of the Spirit as the unseen God. So, with this journey before us, let us allow God to unveil His Spirit in the seven mentions of the Holy Spirit in the holy scriptures. (Psalm 51:11)
The words Holy Spirit Mentioned Seven Times in Scripture
1. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. (Psalm 51:11)
2. But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, [and] he fought against them. (Isaiah 63:10)
3. Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, [and] his people, [saying], Where [is] he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where [is] he that put his holy Spirit within him? (Psalm 63:11)
4 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? (Luke 11:13)
5. In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, (Ephesians 1:13)
6. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. (Ephesians 4:30)
7. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. (1st Thessalonians 4:8)
  The first mention is found in Psalm 51:11, Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. This is a personal relationship of the psalmist. He has a personal relationship with the indwelling Spirit of God. He is calling on God to keep Him in his presence by the Spirit of God for in God’s presence is the fullness of joy. The psalmist wants to be blessed by the eternal Spirit of God, that this Spirit of God would always be in him. So, he beseeched God, take not thy holy spirit from me.
  In the second mention of the Holy Spirit of God is found in Isaiah 63:10, But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them. Here we have the rebel against God who will neither acknowledge God, nor obey God, and lives in a life of sin away from God. And all of God’s witnesses to the rebel are refused and this vexes the Holy Spirit, so that God has no choice but to be their enemy and to fight against them.
  The third mention is the battle of the unseen that goes on every day in this world. In Isaiah 63:11, we have the opposite of the rebel in a man called Moses. Moses is remembered many years after he walked in the earth and what was special about this shepherd of the flock. The chief Shepherd of 1st Peter (Chapter 5:4) had put His Spirit within Moses, and Moses in his position as shepherd was the first person recorded with the Holy Spirit being within him. Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?
  The fourth mention: we now leave the Old Testament for the New Testament, and we see a similarity in Luke 11:13 with Psalm 51:11, If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? We are the children of grace, and we should ask the Father of lights and perfection for the complete power of the Holy Spirit in our lives. The Lord Jesus has given His children specific commandments; however, they cannot fulfill these commandments without the power of the Holy Spirit in this ungodly world. Remember, the Spirit of God is within you, and the Spirit of God is also around you. In your profession of faith, God has given YOU a new life, and you must fulfill that life through the power of the Spirit of God. You must submit to the power of the Holy Spirit so that He can have full sway in your life, and in my life. It is the Holy Spirit who has separated the good from the evil. It is the Holy Spirit who has transformed us into a vessel of goodness and with the love of God. With such great salvation should we not want to live the fullness of our eternal life even NOW by the Spirit’s presence within us, and our submission to the Spirit of God. We have gone through a transformation from evil to good, from unrighteousness to righteousness, and this has all been performed and accomplished by the Holy Spirit upon us. With our heart crying out to the unseen God, we not only have a revealing of the Spirit of God within us, but we are also sealed by this same Holy Spirit of God.
  The fifth mention, In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, (Ephesians 1:13) We see that all the promises of God are fulfilled by the Holy Spirit of promise. The promises of God the Holy Father, and the promises of the Holy child, Jesus, are all met together in the eternal Spirit of God and SEALED within the redeemed. We are SEALED in God the Father. We are SEALED in Christ our Lord. And we are SEALED in the Holy Spirit of God, the Spirit of promise. He will not depart from those who are SEALED by Him in Christ Jesus.
  Let’s see our sealing from God’s side, from God’s part in this. He has SEALED us with the Holy Spirit of promise. The unseen has redeemed the seen. He has redeemed our heart, soul and spirit, and He has put them in His vault (which is Jesus Christ). And there in Christ we are SEALED forever; this answers the burden of the psalmist in Psalm 51:11. We being in Christ have entered into God’s rest. The completion of our salvation whether seen or unseen is complete in Jesus Christ, and we are SEALED in this rest.
  The sixth mention is in Ephesians 4:30, And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. As the children of God, we are SEALED BY the Spirit of God THROUGH the blood of Christ; thus, we are not to GRIEVE the Holy Spirit of God. We are to obey His prodding through the word of God. We are to keep a clean conscience toward God, and we are NOT to allow sin to abide in us. We are to confess our sin before a holy and righteous God. He already sees you in Christ, His perfect Son. We have put on that perfection of Christ. Christ is our life, so, in this world, we are to wash our hands and our feet in the laver of His love.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (1st John 1:7) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. (1st John 1:8) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1st John 1:9) If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. (1st John 1:10)
  This is your unseen part, and your unseen conscience crying out to God the Father by the Spirit of God to cleanse yourself before the invisible God to have unbroken fellowship with Jesus Christ through the Spirit of God. The throne of grace in Hebrews Chapter 4, is for your spiritual troubles and your own life within more than the outward trials and tribulations that you have. All trials and tribulations can be overcome by a heart, a soul, and a spirit that is close to God, for you feel the presence of the Lord Jesus, as the great High Priest, making intercession before God the Father for His children.
  In Isaiah 63:10, unconfessed sin vexed the Holy Spirit within. This is much more than grieving the Holy Spirit of God. You saw that in Isaiah 63, those who vexed the Holy Spirit, refused the Holy Spirit, and became the enemies of God. Now, in the New Testament it is those who are SEALED under the love of God in our Savior’s blood so that it is our deportment of life in an ungodly world, and because we are in an ungodly world, we NEED cleansing because sin is still part of us and of the world around us, we need to confess sin before God regarding our fellowship with the Spirit of God. Remember, sin is what Adam became. Trespass was what he did.
  God was grieved from that first trespass to our present day. God is grieved in this manner: He is grieved in what mankind has become in his sin. Every day as man passes from this scene, from this world, God is grieved because they have refused and vexed the Holy Spirit of grace. They leave this world without Christ, without being SEALED and therefore, they are cast into a place of torment waiting to be judged and sentenced at the great white throne. As with Ephraim’s rejection of God, in the book of Hosea (Chapter 8) God’s heart is turned within Him because they refused His Son, and the blood of the covenant. It is the unseen God who has sent forth His Holy child Jesus, and the world rejected Him, and the world is still rejecting Him. When the Lord Jesus ascended and sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, God, the Holy Father, sent forth the Holy Spirit; and the world at large has rejected the Spirit of God as well.
  Because of current events, the world has been turned upside down. The proponents of this world have made evil good, and good evil. They have made truth a lie and made a lie the truth. Sound familiar? Go back to Genesis Chapter 3, and you will find the father of lies and the father of evil in the serpent who deceived Adam and Eve. (John 8:44) Soon, mankind will run out of time. Time will be no longer. Time is something that you can calculate, yet you cannot see it. Time is part of the unseen. It is part of God’s tools to measure mankind and his history, to measure man’s iniquity throughout time. Very soon, time will cease. God’s final call will come upon all who dwell upon the earth, and few will answer this call, choosing rather to take the mark of the beast and live rather than to embrace Christ with their dying breathe. Since WWII the people of the world have been led by Satan through his social behavior modification agenda: turning away from good and rather than obeying God they have turned to do evil. The sin of Adam has grown into a great tree and the whole world is under its shadow. Man has become a beast. The whole world will be given over to the kingdom of the beast which will be in all darkness of evil continually. (Revelation 13)
  The seventh mention of holy Spirit is recorded in 1st Thessalonians 4:8. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. In our present world the kingdoms of men despise the kingdom of God. They cannot stand those who are in Christ, those who are just men made perfect in Christ who make up the true Church of the first born.
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, (Hebrews 12:23) And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. (Hebrews 12:24) See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven. (Hebrews 12:25)
  Now unto us, the ones who make up the Body of Christ, He has given us His Spirit to assure us of His unseen kingdom, and the unseen seven Spirits of God. Remember the title of Holy Father, Holy child, and Holy Spirit. To stir your heart, your soul and your spirit in Luke 11:13 is the only place that the name Holy Spirit is capitalized showing the Holy Spirit’s position in the Godhead. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? One more point I need to bring out is that we have a thrice holy God.
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. (Isaiah 6:1) Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. (Isaiah 6:2) And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. (Isaiah 6:3)
 In Isaiah’s vision it is the UNSEEN who reveal themselves. God reveals Himself to Isaiah, through the seraphim crying out to the children of men, Holy, Holy, Holy. This is the only time that the UNSEEN reveals to the SEEN the thrice holiness of God Almighty, it is the UNSEEN angels around the throne of God being revealed in the SEEN to Isaiah. Holy, holy, holy . . . Holy Father, holy child, and Holy Spirit is a cry of worship to the fullness of the Godhead, and the manifestation of the Godhead came forth in Jesus Christ our Lord. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. (Colossians 2:9)
