LIKE A MIGHTY WIND


READ: EZEKIEL 37:1-10
The Spirit of God has been likened to the wind. The wind needs an outlet to blow on man, animals and plants. When there is a free flow of air, there is refreshing. People normally complain of discomfort; choking and loss of balance in an airless environment. To maximally benefit from the blessings of open heavens, let us focus on another important benefit. The second function of a window is to allow air to blow through. We human being need air to live but the Almighty God is self-existent. He can never die. He does not rely on anything to live. Therefore, when the windows of Heaven open, it is not for air to blow in but for air to blow out. The air of God shall blow on you. The Bible tells us, in John2:21-22, that when the disciples were gathered in a house with the doors and the windows locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came in through the walls. He greeted and breathed on them and gave them part of the divine power within Him. When God breathes on you, part of His power will come into you. The breath of God will usher God’s power into your life. In our text, the Spirit took the man of God to a valley full of dry bones. Ezekiel said it was only God that knew if those bones could come alive again. He was told to prophesy to these bones to come together and he did and the bones came together. When the bones came together and the flesh covered them, they were still dead and the Lord told him to prophesy for the wind to blow o them. As soon as the wind blew on them, life came into them and they jumped to their feet. When the windows of Heaven open, the wind of God will blow. Today, you must pray, asking the Lord to cause His wind to blow on you. You need a refreshing air from the presence of the lord. Pray until you are saturated by God’s mighty wind.
MEMORIZE: JOHN 9:5 –As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
