wisdom of God is diluted, the body members becoming only partial and<br />

blurred images of the original Pattern Son, fragmented lights of Him<br />

who is the True Light. This, dear friend, is not the ultimate even for this<br />

present age! The cry in the hearts of God’s apprehended ones in this<br />

hour is not for another revival, another miracle, or another gift of the<br />

Spirit, but for the FULLNESS <strong>OF</strong> <strong>GOD</strong>! The fullness of which we speak<br />

is <strong>THE</strong> <strong>SEVEN</strong> <strong><strong>SPIRIT</strong>S</strong> <strong>OF</strong> <strong>GOD</strong>.<br />

I am sure that among the fifty-thousand believers in Ephesus there<br />

were many that had received a “gift” of a “word of wisdom.” And yet<br />

Paul asked very distinctly for the Ephesians that the Father would still<br />

give them “the <strong>SPIRIT</strong> <strong>OF</strong> WISDOM” (Eph. 1:17). The “gift” of a<br />

“word of wisdom” was given “by” the Spirit, but these believers needed<br />

to transcend the gift and receive the fullness of <strong>THE</strong> <strong>SPIRIT</strong> <strong>OF</strong><br />

WISDOM who had given them the gift! In like manner we cannot be<br />

wrong in praying definitely for the “<strong>SPIRIT</strong> <strong>OF</strong> <strong>MIGHT</strong>.” Or, let us take<br />

that other prayer of Paul (Eph. 3:16), and plead that He would “grant<br />

unto us to be <strong>MIGHT</strong>ILY STRENG<strong>THE</strong>NED by His Spirit.” Let all<br />

who aspire to be sons of God know that it is unceasing prayer, it is in<br />

bowing our knees, it is in waiting on God, that from Himself will come<br />

what we ask, be in the Spirit of Might or the Might of the Spirit. The<br />

Spirit is never anything separate from god; in all His going out and<br />

working He is still ever the inmost SELF <strong>OF</strong> <strong>GOD</strong> – God Himself who<br />

is the Mighty One inworking in us and manifesting through us – His<br />

fullness.<br />

Let us also see and make no mistake about the condition of the<br />

investment of the Spirit of Might. He that would command nature must<br />

first, and most absolutely, obey her. He who drives a car must first<br />

subject himself to the laws and principles by which an automobile<br />

functions. It is such an easy thing to ask for power, even the power of<br />

the Spirit. Who would not be glad to have power? Many pray earnestly<br />

for Power in and upon the work they are doing: their witnessing, their<br />

programs, their plans, their methods, efforts, labors etc., and they receive<br />

it not, simply because they do not accept <strong>THE</strong> ONLY POSTURE in<br />
