Answer:
We have so much literature on this subject that I will not go into it here. For further study on this subject, the following materials may be requested: “The Love of God,” “God’s Plan to Save You,” “The Truth About God,” “The Importance of Knowing the Truth About God,” “The Holy Spirit,” “Satan’s Deadliest Lie,” “Which God,” “The God of the Bible,” and “The Formulation of the Doctrine of the Trinity.”
The seven spirits in Revelation 1 refer to the angels. “Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits [Angels—see Revelation 3:1; 4:5; 5:6; 8:2; Zechariah 4:10; Hebrews 1:14; 1 Timothy 5:21; and Adam Clarke’s Commentary.] which are before his throne; And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth.” (Revelation 1:4, 5) It is true that the angels minister the Holy Spirit to us just as God has commissioned us to minister the Spirit to others. (See Galatians 3:5; Zechariah 4 and the April 1999 issue of Present Truth for a thorough study on this subject.)
