This same BREATH... by Mettabel Okulaja


This same BREATH...

The Spirit of God- He is the breath, the‘Pneuma’ and the ‘Ruach’ of God.
He quickened The Lord Jesus Christ and raised him from the grave translating him from mortality to immortality, from corruptible and death to incorruptible and life everlasting! The grave, the horrifically marked body of the Lord, demons, soldiers, and even hell could not escape, nor go beyond the reach of the ‘breath’ of the Lord… Whoosh!!!

This breath… The same breath God breathed into us, when we became his children; this same breath is the one that animates us;This same breath is the one who gives power beyond our mortal existence.
The wind blows and no one knows from whence it comes, or where it goes, but we all feel its effect.  So is the Spirit of God! He reaches below,above, across, as high as, as deep as, any situation, any circumstance, any deadness, any hopelessness… His breath is everywhere and couldn’t reach anyone…He raises from death; He restores from stripes and beatings, He heals from disease; He redeems from poverty… This same Spirit… He clothes from nakedness and he lets them the depths of despair to the excellence of the halls of hope the night in rapturous wonder!


THIS SAME SPIRIT… He brings to our remembrance all things that the Lord has told us, He leads us into all present truth, He tells us of things to come… How then can we worry, how can we then live in doubt and fear, how then can we live wondering what is to become of us?  This same breath… for scripture says in Him we live, moves, and have our being -- This same breath!


There is no place you are right now that the Breath of God cannot reach you. There is no situation of deadness that He cannot resurrect. There is no height too high for Him to lift you up to!
He came on the day of Pentecost because he was sent to us; He came and since then he has dwelt here! In us!!! He has never left us and will NEVER leave us as long as we honor him… How do we honor him?By acknowledging his presence, by speaking the word of God without which he cannot move or work in our lives!

He is here! Jesus sent Him to us!! He came to dwell in us!!!

His power to save, to, deliver, and to set free both in life now and in eternity is here, but he needs us to die to the world so that we may live in Christ… He needs for us to have Emanuel in us, and with us that He may have that with which He may quicken us with so that we can be raised to life!
For to be raised to reign, we must lift up the gates of our hearts so that the King of Glory may come in… Who is this king of glory!? Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.


Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in... Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory… Jesus He is the King of Glory! He is the way! He is the truth! He is the life! No man comes to the Father but by Him. But... in the same way that newborns register their presence to dwell in the kingdom of this world, by the inspiration of breath, the same way the Spirit waits for us to register our presence by the inspiration of‘Ruach’ to dwell and abide in the Kingdom of God! Whoosh!!!...


So that He, The Spirit who broods when the Word is spoken… may now with great power ACT… And there was!!!! 


This same BREATH... Selah
