“How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you" (Proverbs 1:22-23).
There is more than one spirit that the Lord is capable of pouring out, and I'm not I'm not saying that these are spiritual entities as a person as personages like the Holy Spirit is a personage but there's more than one way to understand “spirit.” A lot of times and sometimes the spirits in the Bible are not personages either good or evil.
“For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered" (Isaiah 29:10).
Now, what this verse is saying is that your eyes are your prophets and seers. If you were in Old Testament Israel and your prophets and seers no longer heard from God, you were in big trouble. You were a blind man. Apply it to our day. When the preachers are no longer preaching the word God, then America is in trouble. Now, on a personal basis, all that are saved are a priest of God. If your heart is not right and you're not reading the Bible to get anything from it and not praying; then your eyes are closed and you're in trouble, and what's poured out upon you as a spirit of deep sleep.
We live in a country that is in a deep sleep. Many people are walking in their sleep. One of the things about a guy this is sleeping, and enjoys his sleep, he doesn't usually want to be waked up. Trying to wake somebody up is like trying to wake up a badger. They come up biting and clawing and snarling. Paul wrote, “Awake thou that sleepest and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light” (Ephesians 5:14).
“Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you."
