So, are we given one, or are we supposed to be patient while God builds in us several?
These are gifts of THE SPIRIT but there is only ONE SPIRIT of ONE GOD7 Spirits of God to man. The first person mentioned in Scripture to be given 7 Spirits of God was named Bezaleel. He was responsible for building the tabernacle and everything in it under Moses' administration so he carried out the instructions given to Moses by Yahweh. "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship." "...they may make all that I have commanded thee;" Exo 31 plus many other chapters.
"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 of the fear of the Lord;" Isa 11:2
This wisdom isn't naturally obtained. The spirit of wisdom is the truth (Pro 2:6-7). "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." James 1:6 So without rebuke or blame, He gives us wisdom. The fear of The Lord contrast with the fear of man (such as Saul I Sam 13; 15).
You could also look into the STONE with seven eyes on itRevelations 5:6 - And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
There are different things associated with each, but I've only found them online. I've not read enough into it to know if the purpose of each is to be known by us at this time.
seven seven is perfect and holy and complete
But there is only ONE HOLY SPIRIT who gives gifts according to HIS purpose which is the building up of HIS BODY...THE CHURCH...HIS BRIDE
And THE BRIDE and THE SPIRIT glorify HIM
