If your breathing is agitated today, take notice.

Your instincts will tell you that you just need to work harder. Resist the urge to push through the pain and continue producing stagnant air.

Waving your arms wildly and rushing ahead when your breathing is compromised will only damage your heart further.

Here’s the thing, you don’t have to struggle. Your job is not to generate oxygen. God has already provided the atmospheric conditions you need to live freely.

And, because your Creator knows you so intimately, He understands you are going to struggle. That’s why He’s provided you with a breathing coach.

When you slow down and listen for His still small voice, He will infuse you with fresh wind and empower you. Under His direction, you’ll intake freely and fearlessly.

You are breathing in tandem with the Holy Spirit of God.  

Breathing Exercise:

Read Acts 2:1-28 & Acts 4:31-33. How did the wildfire breath of God give fearless confidence to the early church?

Research Galatians 5:13-23 noting every evidence of a Spirit-led life.

Raise your heart in reverential worship. Open wide every dusty corner that you’ve held back as you listen to this Holy Spirit Anthem. Continue in worship and welcome the wind of the Spirit in to stir things up a bit with this second breathtaking song.

Breathe a prayer to the God who is a Consuming Fire. Ask Him to light an unending flame in your heart.
