The breath of life

Posted on by asherdc89

God is as intimately real to us personally, as the very breath we breathe in our mortal bodies. This same breath is in every single living thing.

This breath is as intangible as the wind. Even though it’s invisible to the eye, we can see its effect on almost everything else.

And is a everyday miracle, which we often trivialise and take for granted.

In Hebrew it’s called Ruah. Ruah is the breath of life, which comes directly from God to make things living. As He is the author of all life being life itself.

Another word for it is spirit. But it’s not in this sense a conscious entity of what it embodies. It’s just life which comes from God to makes something a living thing. For even God and His Angels as well as the devil and fallen angels are also described as spirits.

For example: God forms man out of the dust of the ground before making him a living soul. After He forms him out of dust, He then breathes into him the breath of life to make him a living being.

Thus, dust+ Ruah,(breath)= living soul.

For this very reason, let everything that has breath give God the honour and the glory. And may His name be praised and highly exalted. Magnified above all things. Amen and Amen.

Since 2010, I've experienced promptings, encouragement as well as assistance from the Holy Spirit. The promptings led me to the word of God. This was the start of my own personal journey as I sought after the truth. God was then calling me as I sought after the truth according to His word. The truth was leading me to the decision to give my life to Him. I gave my life to God on the 28th of January 2012. Instantly, I had the desire to share with others the truth of God, that God is a God of love, truth, righteousness, holiness, mercy and justice. I couldn't keep something like this to myself in a lost and dying world, a world in a fallen state, and a world steeped in confusion concerning the view of who God is. My journey wasn't without struggle though, I realised through suffering we come to know God. To not only be humble, but to be empathic and not detached from people who are suffering. Sometime in 2012, God inspired me to become a writer just after my prayer to fulfill my purpose, the purpose of the reason of my existence. My prayer was a reflection of Isaiah 43:1-7. So I started writing essays pertaining to His word. I shared what I wrote with my family and friends. Therefore, the aspiration to help people globally, came with the realisation to give God the honour and the glory. To be part of making a difference. The inspiration to start blogging was impressed upon me to do. Through prayerful guidence, I believe God has led me to this point, which I believe is for His glory.
