THE BREATH OF LIFE

Sunday, Sept. 21, 1997 pm



Spirit (pneuma - nyoo-mah) of God is breath of God.

Jesus said we must be born of the water and Spirit in order to enter the Kingdom - this new world.

Bible speaks of Spirit-filled Christians as new creatures.

When we lose air we become unconscious of surroundings

Our hearts have ears and eyes.

Jesus said His WORDS are spirit and life. BREATH OF LIFE to an unconscious spirit.

LIKE A SEED.

RESCUE THE SOUL!

The spirit only hears words uttered by one IN THE SPIRIT. A DRY LECTURE WILL NOT DO THE DEED! Jesus called the Spirit rivers of living water. Breath is so fundamental to our existence. Since the fall of man, the human spirit has gasped fro breath of life - unconscious until man's conscience could not operate properly. The human spirit is barely surviving. In swimming, a person sometimes slips up due to weakness and loses breath. Dead words flowing from the mind into the mind will not revive the dying spirit.
God longs to reach into the spirit of all people.
What a responsibility we have to BREATH LIFE TO THE WORLD. Prov 20:27 The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.

Matt 5:14-16 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

FIRE NEEDS AIR

On the day of Pentecost, a WIND blew into the room, and there appeared flames of fire over each person.

You must seek it in importunity.
