1. DOVE - a very gentle, quiet, pure bird that is not intimidated. The Dove is very loyal. When taken miles away and released the dove will fly back to its owner/master.

Matthew 3:16-17  NIV

¹⁶ As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. ¹⁷ And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

2. FIRE - purifies and cleanses. Fire burns away the dross; the weeds and stubble. Fire separates us from our sins and purifies us to be used by God.

Acts 2:3  NIV

³ They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.

3. WIND - can be very powerful like a tornado ripping apart and carry off anything in its path. A person cannot control the wind or God. One must flow with the wind and the same is true of the Holy Spirit. A person needs to flow and be sensitive to the HOLY SPIRIT to truly see the power of God in action.

John 3:8  NKJV

⁸ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

4. WATER - is life. It is refreshing and the Holy Spirit wants to flow over people like rivers of living waters making them clean, rehydrated and satisfied. Without the rivers of living waters, a tree will dry up and its leaves fall off as they die and so does a person that does not drink and bathe in the rivers of the Holy Spirit.

John 7:38-39  NKJV

³⁸ He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” ³⁹ But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Psalm 46:4  NKJV

⁴ There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.

5. OIL - represents oil. The Holy Spirit anoints us to pass on anointing to all that are open and desiring God’s character and personality and power.

Luke 4:18  NJKV

¹⁸ “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed;

 Matthew 10:1-2  NKJV

The Twelve Apostles

¹ And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. ² Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother…

1 Samuel 10:1-13  NKJV

Samuel Anoints Saul

¹ Then Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him and said: “Is it not because the Lord has anointed you commander over His inheritance? ² When you have departed from me today, you will find two men by Rachel’s tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, ‘The donkeys which you went to look for have been found. And now your father has ceased caring about the donkeys and is worrying about you, saying, “What shall I do about my son?” ’ ³ Then you shall go on forward from there and come to the terebinth tree of Tabor. There three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin of wine. ⁴ And they will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall receive from their hands. ⁵ After that you shall come to the hill of God where the Philistine garrison is. And it will happen, when you have come there to the city, that you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with a stringed instrument, a tambourine, a flute, and a harp before them; and they will be prophesying. ⁶ Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man. ⁷ And let it be, when these signs come to you, that you do as the occasion demands; for God is with you. ⁸ You shall go down before me to Gilgal; and surely I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and make sacrifices of peace offerings. Seven days you shall wait, till I come to you and show you what you should do.” ⁹ So it was, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, that God gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day. ¹⁰ When they came there to the hill, there was a group of prophets to meet him; then the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them. ¹¹ And it happened, when all who knew him formerly saw that he indeed prophesied among the prophets, that the people said to one another, “What is this that has come upon the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?” ¹² Then a man from there answered and said, “But who is their father?” Therefore it became a proverb: “Is Saul also among the prophets?” ¹³ And when he had finished prophesying, he went to the high place.

Psalm 92:10-11  NKJV

¹⁰ But my horn You have exalted like a wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil. ¹¹ My eye also has seen my desire on my enemies; My ears hear my desire on the wicked Who rise up against me.

6. SEAL - is security like the seal of Rome or on the right of a diplomat etc. In the book of Revelation the angels seal the elect and nothing can separate us from God.

Ephesians 1:13  NJKV

¹³ In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

Revelation 22:4  NKJV

⁴ They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.

7. EARNEST - like in real-estate where earnest money is placed down to ensure the property is yours. So is our salvation ensured by the Holy Spirit who reserves it for you and I.

Ephesians 1:14  NKJV

¹⁴ who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

8. RIVER - is life and the Holy Spirit promises to give abundant life using figuratively “leaves that never go dry.” Without the Holy Spirit a person grows weaker and weaker and eventually becomes a swamp that is dying.

Revelation 22:1-3  NKJV

The River of Life

¹ And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. ² In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. ³ And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.

Psalm 1:1-3  NKJV

The Way of the Righteous and the End of the Ungodly

¹ Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; ² But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night ³ He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.

9. LIGHT - of the Holy Spirit is critical for abundance. Without light a person shrivels up and dies likewise without the Holy Spirit one’s spiritual life is in constant decay until death is the inevitable result.

Revelation 22:5  NKJV

⁵ There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.

2 Corinthians 4:6  NKJV

⁶ For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Genesis 1:1-2  NKJV

The History of Creation

¹ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

CONCLUSION:

1 Corinthians 7:22-23  NKJV

²² For he who is called in the Lord while a slave is the Lord’s freedman. Likewise he who is called while free is Christ’s slave. ²³ You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.

1 Corinthians 12:7  NKJV

⁷ But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:

1 Corinthians 1:18  NKJV

¹⁸ For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Psalm 51:10  NKJV

¹⁰ Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ESSENTIAL FOR ABUNDANT LIFE AND PROSPERITY.

THE HOLY SPIRIT POWER IS UNBEATABLE AND GIVES THE ONE WHO POSSESSES IT FORCES THAT CANNOT BE STOPPED.

THE HOLY SPIRIT ALLOWS A PERSON TO LIVE AND MOVE IN THE SUPERNATURAL WHERE NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE GOD IS THE HIGHEST FORCE OF POWER.

BE DAILY FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND MOVE WITH THE DOVE, the FIRE, the WIND, the WATER, the OIL, the SEAL, with EARNEST, the RIVER AND finally the LIGHT.
