RECEIVING HIS BREATH

[Albert Finch]

John 20: 21-22 "So Jesus said to them again, 'Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.' And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, 'Receive the Holy Spirit.'"

Many believers are searching as if they lost their spiritual reception and they need a fresh breath from God.

Job 33:4 "The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life."

The word "breath" in the Old Testament is translated from the word "ruach," and in the New Testament it is translated from the word "pneuma." In most Scriptures this word is also used interchangeably with the word "spirit." When Jesus breathed on His disciples, He said, "Receive the Holy Spirit (pneuma)," and they were filled.

Some believers are so exhausted and spiritually fatigued that they feel as if the breath was knocked out of them.

JESUS WANTS TO REKINDLE THE FIRE

Allow Him to breathe His breath back into you. Just as Elisha brought the Shunammite woman's dead son back to life as he laid on the boy mouth to mouth (2 Kings 4:32-35), eye to eye, hand to hand, and the boy was restored back to life, He will breathe the ruach that will restore life to you and the pneuma that will fill you once again.

Allow Him to resuscitate you with His breath and revive those dead areas in your life.
He will breathe upon you to rekindle the fire that you once had.

He will breathe upon you to refresh you once again. In the same way that He breathed upon His disciples after He walked out of the tomb, and walked through the door where they were assembled, and said, 'Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.' In the same way that He breathed upon them, and said to them, 'Receive the Holy Spirit,' you will also receive power as He breathes upon you to commission you into what you were called to do.

LAUNCHING INTO GOD'S PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE

As He breathes upon you, you will receive His anointing to do great exploits and learn how to walk in a new dimension of God's purpose for your life. As you receive His anointing, you will have dominion over the kingdom of darkness and all the powers of the enemy. The gifts that have been dormant in your life will be activated once again. As you allow Him to breathe His breath into you, you will prophesy, you will see visions and dream dreams.

Just as He used His disciples, He will use you, in the same way, to lay hands on others and transfer His glory into them.
Just as He used them to lay hands on the sick, you will be appointed to do the same and the sick shall recover.

Just as the day that the Holy Spirit fell upon those in the upper room, He will visit you once again in a mighty way. Do not fear this intimacy but receive it, and as you do, you will be transformed and His glory will prevail in your life.

Acts 4:31 "And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness."
