PROVERBS AND THE SEVEN LAMPS OF FIRE
PROVERBS AND THE SEVEN LAMPS OF FIRE
Tuesday Morning Bible Study
October 28, 2025, the Year of Our Lord
Pastor Carolyn Sissom
The purpose of the Book of Proverbs is plainly stated in Chapter 1:
1:2-7: To know wisdom and instruction, to perceive the words of understanding, to receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, judgment, and equity; to give prudence to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. A wise man will hear and increase learning. A man of understanding will attain wise counsel. To understand a proverb and an enigma, the words of the wise and their riddles. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
THE BEGINNING OF KNOWLEDGE.
The Fear of the Lord, one of the seven spirits of God is mentioned 14 times with either blessing or correction. In the above verses, Wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and counsel are decreed. These five are of the seven spirits of God and repeated throughout the Book.
1. The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him. (Isa. 11:2)
2. Wisdom is repeated 49 times.
3. Knowledge is repeated 35 times.
4. Understanding is repeated 53 times.
5. Counsel is repeated 15 times.
6. Might is translated as “strength” and is repeated 5 times.
7. The Fear of the Lord is repeated 14 times.
Prov.1:7: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Prov. 9:10: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Proverbs manifests the necessity of wisdom, which the N.T. informs us is found in Christ alone. Wisdom is a person.
Col. 2:2-3: That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Solomon personifies wisdom as the Creator of the world. (Prov. 8; Jn. 1:2).
Jn. 1: 1-2: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
As I searched through my notes, I found I only have one sermon titled Proverbs. However, I have written volumes on “Wisdom.” To be exact, I counted eighteen 18 sermons on “Wisdom.”
At the Fireplace Conference, one of the things I preached on was the “Seven Lamps of Fire” which are the Seven Spirits of God.
Rev. 4:5: There were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne which are the seven spirits of God.
Darlene Goss sent me a vision given to Veronika West, a prophetess from Ireland. She was taken by vision into the Seven Realms of Glory of the Seven Spirits of God:
Paraphrased to shorten: “Each realm burned with a different expression of the full essence of the Godhead…each realm spoke of His character and His multifaceted Divine Nature.
Each realm was alive and moved in perfect harmony. All seemed to flow together as one River of Divine Fire…and Light, that vibrated with power and purity. ‘I knew I was seeing the Seven Realms of Seven Spirits of God.’ The fullness of the Spirit that rested upon Christ and which now calls the sons and daughters of Glory to walk in his likeness.
“The first realm of the Spirit was the Realm of Wind, “The Spirit of the Lord. ---a Glory dimension that was Alive and pulsated with the Resurrection Breath of God…the Ruach realm of the Glory that gives life to all things. It is the Spirit of the Lord, the very breath that hovered over the waters in Genesis 1. It is here…where we as Believers receive the Breath of Resurrection Power and divine empowerment…the Supernatural Anointing to move, to speak, to act and to obey under divine command… The Glory realm releases authority and intimacy… the place of Divine exchange and impartation…it is where the Living Breath, the Ruach of God awakens dead things, revives callings, and reveals true identity and destiny; the place where Holy vessels are filled with the living fire of His Glory. The birthing place of the Glory Carriers.
Zech. 4:6: Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit…says the Lord of hosts.
The second realm I entered was the realm of gold and silver keys… the Spirit of Wisdom. I saw each key shining…radiating…and glistening with pure gold and silver light… Light that was multi-dimensional and multi-faceted… This is the realm of the Spirit of Wisdom, where divine strategy and the eternal blueprints of God are unraveled and revealed to His Righteous Remnant…to His Radical Reformers…
I knew by revelation that in this dimension of the Glory…the Spirit of Wisdom gives supernatural insight…not just to know what to do…but how and when to do it…this was the Realm where the Tribe of Issachar would draw from. This Wisdom is the Spirit that governs kings, apostolic architects, and kingdom reformers... gold and silver keys of wisdom that unlock doors of Revelation, divine influence, opportunity and power both in Heaven and on earth.
Proverbs 9:1: Wisdom has built her house. She has hewn out her seven pillars.
Suddenly the Realm of Scrolls stood before me in the Vision,… The Spirit of Understanding.
The Realm of Ancient Scrolls opened up before me…where I saw and heard the Sacred Seals being broken and where I then saw ancient Scrolls of Hidden Mysteries and Secret Revelation unfolding before me like waves of Light…
I knew by the Spirit this was the Realm of the Spirit of Understanding whereby is the supernatural ability to perceive and receive the deeper meaning and purpose behind His Mysteries…
An Understanding that does not merely see revelation but has the power and ability to interpret it and then to accurately communicate it to the Body of Christ and to the World.
Here in this Realm of the Glory are the hidden things,…the ancient Secrets of God’s heart are made plain to the Remnant…those that will draw and lay claim to this dimension of the Glory is granted the capacity to discern the times and seasons,…the motives of men’s hearts, and the Divine Movements of the Spirit…!!!
Luke 24:45: Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures.
I was then taken even higher,…to where I was shown a Realm of books…a Realm and dimension of “The Spirit of Knowledge.”
The Realm was filled with books…as far as my eyes could see …I saw what looked like books both ancient and new.
I could see what looked like a heavenly Library, the vastness was too hard to comprehend, the weightiness of the atmosphere too difficult to describe or take in, …a Holy and Sacred place filled with living records, …I saw written entries, …inscribed in gold even before the foundations of the Earth.
I could see and hear the books of nations and of people, of every tribe and tongue being flipped open and yet also being shut. I saw what looked like scales that sat upon a great and beautiful marble table …Scales of Justice. This was a realm and dimension of the Spirit of Knowledge, where the mind of Christ was revealed.
In this place, every truth of God’s character and Divine nature is made manifest and every work of His hand is written and preserved for all of eternity.
This deep realm carried powerful Prophetic Intelligence,…the ‘knowing’ of Divine Mysteries,…the awareness of Heaven’s Divine Order, and the understanding of God’s dealings in the earth realm.
A realm of Divine Knowledge not for pride that puffs up, but Knowledge for the Purpose of supernatural partnership and covenant relationship…
Hab. 2:14: For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.
Then Suddenly, I was lifted higher…and “the Realm of Swords” opened up before me, and I heard, ‘The Realm of The Spirit of Might.’
As I was permitted entrance into this dimension of the Glory, the Realm of Swords drew me in, and I could suddenly and tangibly feel the Spirit of Might rising up within my inner being, a blazing and intense radiant strength rising. I knew that if I had opened my mouth my voice would give way to a Roar that would lift me upon the Wings of a Mighty Eagle to soar.
Suddenly, I heard these words, ‘This is the Spirit of Might,…the realm and dimension of Divine Power and dominion…Where the Mighty Warriors of God are trained for War,…and where Spiritual authority and a Revelation of true identity is forged and fashioned.’
As I stood in that place, I knew by the Spirit of Revelation that this was the realm of breakthrough, and supernatural Deliverance, a Realm of Contending and Conquest, where Faith takes flight and where the Seed of Faith births Action and where Authority and Power is made manifest.
The Spirit of Might that equips the Saints, and enables the sons to stand, to fight, and to overcome by the Word of their Testimony and by the Power of the Blood of the Lamb.
Exodus 15:3: The Lord is a man of War, the LORD is His name.
From Glory to Glory, I continued to ascend into the Realm of Fire, the all consuming Realm of His Glory, “the Spirit of Counsel!”
I was drawn into the Realm of Fire, a realm and dimension of His glory that burned with a Fire that declared his divine purpose and direction.
This Realm of the Spirit of Counsel, was a place where the still small voice of God speaks forth like the roar of a thousand waterfalls, a Voice of Thunder that brings supernatural guidance, that warns, and instructs the Remnant, that brings divine correction, clarity and discipline, the birthing place of destiny where lives are aligned with heavens Time and the Will of the King.
The Realm of the Spirit of Counsel that ignites divine passion, that steers the sons and daughters toward radical obedience, where the Spirit of Counsel deals with every spirit of confusion and confronts the spirit of deception. The Spirit of Counsel ignites a Holy Zeal for the Presence that sets the course of nations and God’s people according to the Divine plan and Kingdom purposes of God.
Isa. 30:21: Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, … This is the way, walk in it.
The Realm of Thrones and Crowns broke open before me,…a Realm of the Glory where… “the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord” dwells.
I was lifted higher and descended even deeper into the Realm of Thrones and Crowns. Again, by Revelation and by the Spirit this was the highest realm of the Seven Realms of the Seven Spirits.
A Realm and dimension of the Glory that was radiant beyond words, a Holy and sacred place where Angels fear to tread, where Kings bow low, where High Priests tremble, and where every crown is cast down before the Throne.
Behold, this is the Realm of the Spirit of the Fear of the LORD, the realm of Holy Awe and reverential Fear and Pure Worship…not in song but in the Spirit and in Truth.
A higher real of Thrones and Crowns where the true essence of sonship is fully revealed and expressed, where authority and anointing are perfect in humility and purity, where Glory and manifest power are revealed through total surrender and submission.
The Realm of the Fear of the Lord, not of terror, but of Holy and Reverential love and freedom, the awareness of His Holiness and Mercy that produces purity, radical obedience, and everlasting peace.
Proverbs 9:10: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
I was suddenly lifted out of the open vision encounter and I began to pray fervently in the Spirit.
“I decree the Seals are being broke, the Revelation of the fullness of the Sevenfold Spirit is being released to the Rising shining Remnant in this hour of great shifting and sifting, in this hour of divine transition and war.
A new dimension of glory is breaking forth upon the nations, and the sons and daughters of Radian Light are being awakened, freshly anointed, and divinely aligned to move and advance in the complete manifestation of His Seven Spirits.
The righteous remnant is rising in the full expression of the Seven Spirts of God, in the full manifestation and with a supernatural demonstration of the Spirit and power of Elijah, a Holy Remnant moving and advancing as One Fire, as One Mighty River, and as One Radiant Light.
The ascending ones, those with clean hands and pure hearts shall see Him, shall encounter Him, and shall be taken from Glory to Glory in the coming days.
Together they shall form the Sevenfold Flame of His Glory, that same glory that rested upon Christ and now that seeks to rest upon His sons and daughters in purity and manifest power.
Today, I hear a clarion call to lay hold of the glory within.
Through these powerful encounters came the realization of what God has already made available to us by revelation and by His Spirit, all we need to access within the realms of His Glory.
Everything that Heaven contains has been deposited within us through Christ in us, the hope of Glory…”
When we are in Christ, we are in His Glory.
“Every realm of Glory, every dimension of the Sevenfold spirit of God is open and available to those who will ascend in the secret place, those who will walk in Purity, humility and total devotion and obedience to the King.
Purity is the key that unlocks greater ascension and deeper access. Humility and submission are the keys that release manifest power and divine dominion.
Come let us ascend to the High Places, not striving outwardly in our flesh which only reaps death, but choosing to yield inwardly to the Glory dimensions of the Spirit and Power of Elijah that already abides within us by His Grace.” (End of Vision and exhortation given to Veronica West).
Prov. 10:27: The Fear of the Lord prolongs days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
Prov. 14:27: The Fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
Prov. 15:33: The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honor is humility.
Prov. 22:4: By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honor, and life.
Prov. 8:14: Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom. I am understanding. I have strength (might).
Prov. 19:20: Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end.
Prov. 1:29: That they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD.
Prov. 2:2-11: So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
And apply your heart to understanding. If you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom. From His mouth comes knowledge and understanding. He stores up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk uprightly…When wisdom enters your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul, discretion will preserve you. Understanding will keep you.
