BREATH OF LIFE
BREATH OF HOLY SPIRIT
“Lord,
I am consistent,” I smiled. Then I said, “I am consistently inconsistent.” Why?
I
felt His answer: “Because you know you are not your own and that My ways are higher
than man’s ways. You chose to follow Me. I blessed you with My Holy Spirit to hear
My instructions. Those who hear My voice will follow Me. Those who take time to
hear will hear. It’s the Path of Peace.
“The
things of earth are growing strangely dim for you aren’t they? [Yes, Lord.] Except
for the natural beauty you see in My hill country and in the face of new Believers.”
Oh
Father, help them all today. Protect them, guide them, let them hear your Voice and Yours
only. I know You mark out a straight path for them today because I ask.
After
a little more discussion, my mind wandered to the verse: This is the day the Lord hath made. I
will (my choice) rejoice and be glad in it.”
[1]
Hmmm. This
is a new day, like each new day He creates. God is always creating. He set the world
in motion so that it constantly creates one new day after the next.
Like
winding a perpetual clock. But I like to think of my Father… literally creating each
new day out of nothingness…completely by His will and Word.
What
if, one day He didn’t get up and breathe out His Breath of Life into the world? Everything
that has breath would stop. Breathe out from your own lips gently now and see how it feels
to breathe the breath of life into your day. Knowing where your very breath comes from.
I
began to see this as a new way to pray…as an additive to my prayer life. By faith in
the authority that God has given us, I can Breathe the Breath of Life into those I pray for, as
a Creative Spirit.
Well,
thank goodness, I don’t have to be concerned about God not getting up each morning. His
Word says that He never slumbers or sleeps.
[2]
But we have to get up. And
as He breathes His daily life into us…even before we have read His Word, His love has
hovered over His creation during the night according to His plan for His beloveds to sleep.

Morning
by Morning, He awakens them. (Barbara Arbo use to quote this scripture and live by it. The
world stretches…the animals go into their dens…man comes forth to work and walk
in God’s light.
To
all those who call on Him, God Breathes His blessings of faith, strength, wholeness, power, and
wisdom. All that is essential for their work on earth.
His
greatest desire is to walk with them through their day…to live His life through them. To
discus past victories and reveal new truths from His Eternal Word.
Oh,
His children are so in quisitive…but God likes that. He made us so. He delights
in our questions because He has all the answers…and it’s by walking with Him and allowing
Him to live in us, bit by bit, day by day…He reveals Himself more fully to us.
As
the old childhood saying goes: “It’s for me to know and you to find out.” J It’s
for God to know and for us to find out. As we search the scriptures we find life. His
life in us. His Holy Spirit inspired Word abides in us. We become one with Him.
The
things of earth are all examples of God’s love. Every thing we see and every experience
we have, leads to more questions of how they relate to God and life with Him and in Him. So
we seek Him for our answers. We hear. We obey. We grow more into His likeness. Our
fellowship with Him becomes more bonded with each step we walk together.
The
closer we are to Him, the more He breathes His desires into our hearts and soon we don’t
know the difference between His and ours. We become one as Jesus prayed for us in John 17:21-23. [Look
it up and read it if you don’t believe me. J]
BREATH
OUT THE BREATH
OF
THE HOLY SPIRIT
“…He
giveth to all life, and breath, and all things.”
(Acts 17:25b).
“Then
said Jesus to them again, even so send I you. And when He had said this, HE BREATHED ON
THEM, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost.” (John
20:21-22).
Thank
You Jesus for transmitting the Power of the Holy Spirit to us.
