Breathe of Holy Spirit Healing

The word of God creates heaven and earth. Speaking of “the heavens ... and all their host ...” as well as “the earth ... and all the inhabitants of the world,” the psalm says, “He spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood forth.” In other words, by speaking a command, God created everything. His command contained the understanding of what he wanted to happen, which came from his wisdom or reason. His breath or spirit contained the force or power that brought it into existence. The Spirit with which he breathes his word is creative power itself. Jesus breathed his last breath on the cross as he died for the sins of the world. Then, when he burst forth with resurrection power, he breathed the life of newness. In John 20:22 he breathed on the disciples. And the Bible says he breathed the Holy Spirit on the disciples. Literally, the resurrected son breathed on them, which is the spirit of Christ. the resurrected body was made alive by God with his breath. Adam was basically a sand castle made from the dust of the ground until God breathed into his nostrils. All life is from God. God breathed into Adam and gave life. Jesus breathed into his followers and gave them new life. John 20:22, “And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” So the first Adam was made alive by the breath of God, and the last Adam makes his followers alive by the breath of God. Genesis 2:7 says, “Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” . Adam didn’t have life until he received the breath of God. We don’t have life until we receive the breath of God. The moment, though, Jesus breathes on us is the moment we live forever. We receive the Holy Spirit, the resurrected Christ. When Jesus breathed his last and then breathed his first in the resurrection, he passed from death to life. And because of him, we pass from death to life. we’re alive in Christ. Once we allow God to breathe life into us, we breathe in God and we breathe out God. Prayer is like our spiritual breath. We listen to God, to his word, we speak to God, and then we speak for God. The breath of life. In Job 32:8 says, “But it is the spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding.” In Job 33:4, “The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life.” So we breathe in God. That’s the moment we become Christ followers. But also notice, we breathe out God. God calls us to speak for him. We are designed to talk about God. We’re to have God breath, to speak words of life, blessing, and healing over others. John 7:38, “Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” We need to say God things to people. Also, said God things about yourself. Don’t waste your breath! John 20:19-23, “On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. 21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”” Jesus breathed on the disciples. He exhaled the resurrection power. And this earthly action intended to convey a grander and larger message. He was breathing on them to create an effect. He was breathing the life-giving, spirit-empowering breath of God. The Spirit of God is the breath of God. And God’s spirit brings us to life. He empowers us for our purpose and he points us to Jesus. The Holy Spirit is given to us so that God can fulfill His purposes through us. The Scriptures tell us that Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit who gave Him power to resist Satan, preach God's Word, heal the sick and be obedient to death on the cross. The power of the Holy Spirit isn't given to us for our own self interests of self fulfillment. The Holy Spirit is given to us for : Power to declare our faith in Jesus, Power to help the poor and suffering, caring for their physical and spiritual needs, Power to release captives from spiritual darkness, guilt, and worldliness, Power to stand out and stand up for those who can't Power to bring healing through prayer. Breathing a prayer to God is a simple way of using your body to engage your mind on the Word of God. Whispering the words of Scripture as you are breathing in and out, slowly and deeply, over and over, can help you to “abide” in Christ (John 15:4,5,9). This is a special way to Abide in Prayer. Breathing a prayer is simply a bodily expression of worship that assists us in engaging our whole self in prayer and devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ. Our bodies are temples for the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19). It’s in our bodies and with our bodies that we pray and fellowship with God. Another way to do a Breath Prayer is to develop your own personalized prayer that helps you to connect deeply with God in whatever way you need it the most at that time.
