INTRODUCTION:
The breath of God is evidence of His power and strength in the life of man, infusing life into him to function as a living being. In the rhythm of life, there comes a profound longing for renewal, a desire for God to breathe afresh on weary souls. There is a tendency for someone to lose strength and courage due to life’s situations and challenges. Everybody needs to examine oneself and desire refreshment in preparation for a new beginning. The essence of people going on vacation is to relax and refresh mentally and physically.
In Genesis 2:7, after God created man, he could not do anything until God breathed into man; then, great ideas and innovation began to flow through man. It is the same process when feeling worn out and stuck – one needs to go back to God and breathe afresh for new revelation and innovation. In this article, some points that encourage positioning oneself for the move of God will be well explained.
1) Breathing New Life into Your Daily Struggles:
Life’s challenges can weigh heavily on the human soul, and the plea for renewal becomes more poignant. The prayerful request to “refresh a steadfast spirit” acknowledges the need for resilience and unwavering commitment. This point encourages believers to draw strength from God, allowing Him to breathe new life into their daily struggles.
2) Seeking Divine Revival:
To revive means to bring back to life and reposition for greater value and functions. Just as Ezekiel called for the breath of life to revive the lifeless, individuals yearn for a spiritual revival. This point emphasizes the importance of actively inviting the divine breath into our lives, anticipating a revitalization of purpose and passion.
3) Position Yourself for the New Breath of God:
The instruction of Jesus Christ to his disciples when preparing them for the fresh breath of God through the Holy Spirit empowerment was that they should wait and position themselves for the move. The metaphor of the four winds in Ezekiel’s vision symbolizes the comprehensive nature of divine renewal. It speaks to the idea that God’s breath can come from every direction, touching every aspect of our lives if we are rightly positioned. Believers are encouraged to be open to transformative winds, allowing God to breathe afresh into their relationships, careers, and personal growth.
Conclusion:
The imagery of breath infusing life into lifeless bones paints a vivid picture of spiritual resurrection. This point delves into the idea that God’s breath has the power to bring new life, resurrecting dormant dreams and passions. It encourages individuals to embark on a journey of spiritual rebirth, trusting in the divine breath to bring forth a vibrant and purposeful existence.
Finally, the quick way to receive God’s breath is to be on God’s side. This can only happen if you give your life to Jesus Christ. If you have not encountered Jesus Christ, He is calling you today; kindly accept His invitation and be saved.
Let’s Pray:
- Lord Jesus, I thank you for how far you have led me.
- My Lord and my Father, breathe afresh on me with great ideas and innovation.
- Lord, let me operate under divine favor this year. Amen!
