The Spirit - Isaiah 11:2

Isaiah 11:2 ESV 

And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,

the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,

the Spirit of counsel and might,

the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.


Isaiah 61:1 ESV 

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,

because the Lord has anointed me

to bring good news to the poor;

he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,

to proclaim liberty to the captives,

and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;


Mark 1:9-11 ESV 

In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”


The Spirit of the Lord upon the Son of Man is the sign He is the Son of God. We see in Mark that the Father gives witnessing ss to the Son. 


The same Spirit gives witness to our spirits that we are sons of God and children of the light. He is the mark and seal that we are His. We are beloved and please Him with our faith.
