Welcome to God Focus This Morning

The title of today’s episode is, “Breath of God”

When Adam was created God breathed into him the breath of life.

Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

This was the beginning of physical man in the earth. Over the centuries we have multiplied and been through many things. I want to talk today about how God created a body of believers. There are more people that we know that believes in Jesus and the power of the cross. Those of us who are born again have been breathed on by God. As he did to create Adam physically, he breathed on the believers and the bride was born spiritually.

The spirit that was in Jesus returned to earth in the form of a wind to breathe life into the church. In Acts Chapter 2. This is when God came to earth in the form of the Holy Ghost to fill all the believers. That is why we are called the broken body of Christ. We all got a little piece of that spirit that unites us as believers.

We as a whole body have allowed the world to creep in and slowly change our beliefs and direction of our feet. Many things are tolerated in the name of love and acceptance. But our perception of love is tainted. If we truly love people we will tell them the truth. Not brutally, with anger or yelling, but compassionately with God’s love.

Vultures of sin, tolerance, ignorance of the word, being distracted with building our own kingdoms, being laid back and in some cases being asleep have put the church on life support. The vultures have picked apart the bones of the church. Which brings me to the story of Ezekiel. It is time we are like Ezekiel and prophesy to the dry bones to live. God will send His Spirit like a whirlwind to bring to life, renew and make new the church. We will be a great army ready to fight our enemy and take back our territory.

Ezekiel was a prophet of God. He saw a future when Israel would stand strong as one army. God would breathe into the dry bones new life. The true church of today, is in desperate need of a fresh breath of air from God. We need him to blow away mans ideas and tolerances. Denominational boundaries have divided people for too long. We need a fresh anointing and understanding of who we are in the earth. We are children of the most high God. We are his chosen people. He called us out of death and breathed into us new life.

Ezekiel 37:1-2  The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, 2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

Is the church as a whole dry bones? Many lack true anointing. We have slowly settled for crumbs of truth. Just enough to ease our conscience. But lack the desire for true change and a real and honest walk with God. Many are just going through the motions. I don’t want to settle for going through the motions. I don’t want crumbs of truth. I want to walk in God’s strength and the power of his love.

Eze 37:3-7 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest. 4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5 Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:  6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord. 7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. 8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

The army was just a bunch of flesh with no life. There is no life without breath. We need God to breathe on us a fresh understanding and anointing. We can speak life into our situations. It is about focus. The things we focus on become bigger in our eyes. When we look at the situations all around us, it is easy to get down and discouraged. But we have the power within our mouth to pray and praise. We can speak to our situations. We as the body of Christ can speak life into the situations of our country.

God adds and multiplies, the enemy subtracts and divides.  Every time we speak negatively, we are only making the situation worse by giving the enemy fuel. Think about what we say as wood for a fire, there is a fire of good and a fire of evil. Every positive, encouraging, prayer and scripture we speak, every time we say God has got this, it adds flames to the fire of good. When we speak about how bad things look, how dark they are, how it will not get better, we throw wood on the fire of evil. We want God’s fire to burn out all the evil in this world. It is time we speak life and encouragement.

EZE 37:9-10 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

When we speak the word of God and speak about how God is in control and will take care of his people, we cause the army to get stronger. Right now we need to tell satan his plans will not work. It’s ok to talk to the enemy as long as we tell him he is powerless and the forever loser. We should never listen to his lies and fearmongering. Remember he is here to subtract and divide.

He wants to subtract our joy, peace, happiness, and strength and cause people to dismiss the message of the cross. He wants to divide the body with negativity and the doctrines of men.

Jesus came that we may have life and have it more abundantly. He wants us to be blessed in this life. He will pour out blessings, not to make us rich, but to give us resources to bless others.

It is up to each of us to speak life, speak victory and say the church will be full. The harvest is ripe and ready, people are starving for the message of Jesus.

We need to truly grasp the meaning of 2 Cor 5:7…for we walk by faith, not by sight.

Learning to walk by faith is not always easy. Our five physical senses get in the way. But even more than the five physical senses, we need to learn to walk with our spiritual senses. Allowing God to breathe life into us, so that we can be ready to fight the good fight of faith.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
