WHEN THE WIND BLOWS
MEMORY VERSE
And with the
blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood
upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.

send I you.

If you want to
belong to the reigning team, sign a pact with the Holy Spirit. Severally in
scriptures, the Holy Spirit is compared to the wind. Understanding some
characteristics of the wind gives us some insight into the personality of the
Holy Spirit. The wind as breeze can blow gently, we see the Holy Spirit
exhibiting this trait in Samson. The Spirit first began to move him gently once
in a while in Judges 13:24-25. The Holy Spirit can also behave like a rushing
mighty wind blowing suddenly, as was the case in Acts 2: 1-7. He can also move
massively like a storm. At the front of the Red sea, Moses lifted his hands and
the east wind blew throughout the night until the Red sea parted (Exodus
14:19-22). While describing the experience later in Exodus 15:8, Moses said,
“And
with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods
stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the
sea.”
In other words,
this can be pictured as God sneezing and emitting the Spirit in the form of air
from His nostrils, and He parted the mighty Red sea into two. What a Mighty God
we serve!
It is the wind
that gives a mighty aeroplane its lift. The reason an aeroplane runs very fast
before takeoff is because air at a higher speed has a lower pressure than air
at a lower speed. The air above the wings of the aeroplane before takeoff is at
a higher speed that the air beneath it. The resulting higher pressure beneath
the wings gives lift to the aeroplane taking it to the next level in flight. In
2 Kings 2:9-15, two people were promoted to another realm when the wind of the
Holy Spirit blew massively: Elijah got transported into the heavenly realm,
while young Elisha – a servant
of the prophet was promoted to become father of the prophets. As you key into
the supernatural, you shall be lifted to another level in Jesus name. However,
when the wind comes, it is capable of filling every available space. In John
20:21-22, when Jesus wanted to fill the disciples with the Holy Ghost, He
breathed on them; meaning that the Holy Spirit should go and fill every space
in the disciples. What space do you have for the Holy Spirit to fill? The more
space you take away from the flesh the more you make available to Him.
KEY POINT
John the Baptist
decided to decrease in order to create more room for Jesus. How much room do
you have for the Holy Spirit?
