Reynolda Church: Audio Podcast

“Inspire” means literally “to breathe in.” The breath (“ruach”) of God hovered over the face of the deep. Before He uttered a word of creative force, God breathed deeply. He “hovered” or “brooded” over the face of the waters. God’s Spirit is His breath; His breath is His Spirit. His Word is full of His breath – His Spirit. God’s presence is issued and received like a deep breath. When Jesus issued the Holy Spirit to the disciples He symbolically breathed on them. Deep calls unto deep. The more deeply we “breathe” in God’s life, the more deeply we know His goodness. The more we take in His Word, the more we are “inspired.”
