Catch Your Breath

Elohim Ruach – Hebrew name for the Spirit of God

Read the three verses below intentionally; do not miss the impact straight from the Spirit of God.

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God; Romans 8:16 (WEB)

 you have not glorified the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways.

Daniel 5:23 (WEB)

God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7 (WEB)

God has shared a secret with every single believer. That secret is the Breath of Life. Believers know Him as the Holy Spirit who lives in our hearts.

But the wicked king to whom Daniel was speaking in Daniel 5:23 disregarded God until his heart was gripped with a fright like he had never known. And then, it was too late.

Many people in our world live just like that today.

But Daniel, and believers who have lived fully engaged in the faith have a different story.

 But as it is written,

“Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear,
    which didn’t enter into the heart of man,
    these God has prepared for those who love him.”

1 Corinthians 2:9 (WEB)

Believers don’t know everything about God or eternity. We don’t know the answers to why, concerning many questions pertaining to our lives here on Earth. We don’t understand how God could love sinners, nor why He chose us. We don’t know the mysteries of Heaven. Believers never will know the sorrows and horrors of Hell.

But we know the big secret. We know the very Presence of God through the Holy Spirit Who lives in us. We know that we are redeemed, even though we sometimes face fears and doubts. But the Spirit knows just how to restore us. And true believers can know that they will never slip from the grasp of God.

But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

1 Corinthians 2:10 (WEB)

A most captivating thought is that through the Spirit we have the mind of our lovely Christ.

“For who has known the mind of the Lord that he should instruct him?” But we have Christ’s mind. 1 Corinthians 2:16 (WEB)

Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus. Philippians 2:5 (WEB)

The Spirit which we have received, doesn’t teach us things that are of the world, but lifts us up to God. We can count on the Spirit to teach us Godly wisdom through God’s Word, in prayer and in our commitment to Him through faith.

It is the simple and yet profoundly majestic words of the Spirit that convinces us of the Truth of God.

Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind.
    Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down.
    Yahweh loves the righteous.

Psalm 146:8 (WEB)

You see, the wisdom of the world is perplexed by our faith. They simply cannot understand because they are without the Spirit. Like all sin, their disdain is against the Spirit of the Living God.

Though He draws everyone, many remain willfully blind

Because He is the Teacher, you don’t need my words of wisdom or explanation. You simply need the Holy Spirit, who lives in your heart.

If you have rejected the drawing voice of the Holy Spirit, the Bible gives you a warning.

For he says, “At an acceptable time I listened to you. In a day of salvation, I helped you.”

2 Corinthians 6:2 (WEB)

Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

Romans 2:4 (WEB)
