Let's talk about each one...
Wisdom.
To have wisdom is to be skillful, wise & prudent.
When you're prudent you know how to make 'careful' decisions.
Wisdom is applied knowledge.
Understanding.
To have discernment, to act, to object to knowledge, personified.
The concept of being able to not just receive information, but gain illumination is how understanding works in the believers life.
Counsel.
To get advice & plan.
Wise counsel is biblical.
14 Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety. (Proverbs 11:14)
Might.
To have strength, valor, brave, mighty deeds of God.
We need His strength all through our life.
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. (Ephesians 6:10)
Knowledge.
To have perception, skill, aware, discernment, & understanding.
Make sure the information you're receiving is biblical and from the Lord.
Fear of the Lord.
To have respect and reverence for God.
This is not the fear the world gives us.
13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate. (Proverbs 8:13)
Spirit of the Lord.
Ruah the breathe of God.
We need God's presence wherever we go.
We need God's breathe that gives us life.
Praise God!
Please go study Ephesians 1 the whole chapter.
You'll find a lot of these in that chapter alone.
If you want to know who you are in Christ... go read Ephesians.
It shows the believers who they are and the authority we carry.
In Jesus name!
