WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE:  THE WIND OF GOD ON DRY BONES

In yesterday’s episode we made a connection of wind or the Hebrew word Ruach to being born of the Spirit or as Jesus said to Nicodemus, being born again. When God’s Spirit or wind blows something always happens. Take the story of Ezekiel for an example.

 Ezekiel 37:1-8 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. 3 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.

Notice there was a noise and a shaking, and the bones came together but there was no breath in them. They didn’t have life without the breath. Just like we do not have spiritual life without the breath of God or the Holy Ghost.

Ezekiel 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.

The wind of God blew and restored breath to the bodies and they lived and stood up upon their feet a great army. As children of God we are a part of a great army. But we do not fight with conventional weapons, but be fight with prayer and the power of the Holy Ghost within us.

Notice until the wind blew, there was no life. Just like we do not have spiritual life until the spirit of God breathes or blows over us.

This vision of Ezekiel has significance in showing that God can restore even that which is dead. Jesus came out of the grave with power over death, hell and the grave. But it also can show the significance of how God’s power is needed to bring spiritual life to our dry bones and give us new life. His Spirit puts us in the family of God, the body of Christ, or the army of God. It takes the breath or wind of God to create within us a spiritual life.

Gen 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.

God formed Adam from the dust of the earth. But until God breathed into him he was just dirt. He had no life. Notice he formed man then breathed into him the breath of life.  All other creation on the planet he spoke into existence. But man was different, he was special he breathed into him and made him a living soul.

The wind or breath of God, The Spirit of God, The Holy Ghost is also needed to breathe spiritual life into us.  Just as Adam was not alive without God breathing life into him in the natural. We are not alive until God breaths his Holy Spirit into us. Watch tomorrow for part three of this subject of wind of the Spirit.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
