DAY 39 with Teresa Ann:

BREATH OF GOD
I love how the Hebrew alphabet also has numerical value. For instance, the Hebrew letter “He” is the numerical value of 5, which is the divine breath of GOD.
When I began to learn this, it made me think of even the name change over Sarai and Abram. When GOD changed their names to Sarah and Abraham; the “H” was what I would like to believe as that HIM breathing on them; the Divine Breath of GOD entered their situation and soon came Isaac, the promised one.
Even in this, what about the scripture, Psalm 150:6? It records, “Let everything that has breath praise the LORD!”
It’s with great wonder and majesty to remember that the Breath of GOD goes right along with GRACE; the supernatural empowerment of GOD’s divine creativity. God breathes on our natural to see that HIS supernatural breath within us causes us to arise to do something…to declare HIS great glory!
HIS grace is HIS breath and when HE breathes on it, no one can stop it. When GOD’s breath comes upon Creativity; the gift of prophecy is seen. Whether it’s realized or not.
With that said, it causes me to realize what we walk in. Whether it’s through writing, poetry, dancing, singing, drawing, painting, or even a speaker whose tongue is like the pen of a skillful poet as recorded in Psalm 45:1; or creating pieces of art whether with pottery, jewelry, fabric, etc. His prophetic breath on each of us is drenched in HIS love. There is such intentionality and we know we have been breathed on by HIM and so we can’t help but praise HIM.
Even think about this…HIS breath on our artwork or whatever reveals creativity and even HIS breath on the inanimate object becomes this living matter that can’t help but praise HIM!
HIS breath is HOLY SPIRIT which is evidence of HIS intimacy; HIS nearness that is more near than we could imagine.
May we “Selah” and bask in WHO HE IS. May we remember WHO resides in us as our very expressions convey what no words could. Just marveling in Who HE is in whatever we do. Letting HIS breath, HIS Spirit be so evident in our lives.
You are evidence of HIS breath.
REVEALINGS OF THE WORD WITH HOLY SPIRIT:
Psalm 45:1; Psalm 150; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Psalm 104:29-30; John 20:21-22
LET’S TALK:
- How do you now see HOLY SPIRIT WHO lives within you? I pray you’re in such awe.
- The HOLY SPIRIT is EVERY GIFT and EVERY GIFT FLOWS FROM THE GREATEST GIFT WHICH IS LOVE; GOD HIMSELF WHO IS LOVE!
- Do you see how you do not produce the FRUIT of THE SPIRIT? Who does?
- So in The Spirit of GOD, HE is the one that we rely on. HE is not in us just because we need HIM; HE is in us so that HE can do what we could not do in our own ability!
- For instance, by ourselves we can’t reveal CHRIST JESUS; but with Holy Spirit, we reveal our JESUS who reveals the Father GOD and in turn we point people back to HIM.
- What would you like to share concerning the Breath of the Living GOD?
- Do you have a story revealing HIS breath?
I broke down yesterday!! June 3, 2019!!! I finally screamed and let it all out!! I was mad, angry, frustrated, and just tired!!! After a long day at the clinic and even though we had good news for my Donovan I still came home feeling empty. My house is a wreck. I came into my room and had a tantrum with God!! I told him I gave up! That I couldn’t do this anymore. As I am here watching my Son Donovan’s hair just falling in clumps and his head is pretty much bald, I just get mad all over again!! Why aren’t you coming and getting a hold of my children!! I stalked out of my room and screamed at my children, maybe I should just take the easy way and kill myself!! I should just commit suicide since none of ya’ll care about God or at least want to pray about what is happening in our family!! And then i went back into my room!! Knowing darn well i shouldn’t have said those words!! But I couldn’t help it at the moment!! I was in my pity party!!! Asking God Why do I feel as if things are going in circle!!! Why are we still going through this!! We were suppose to have been done with this!! I am suppose to be shouting to everyone you did a Miracle on my son!!! But yet here we are still going through this God!!! I finally said I couldn’t and felt something being released from me!! It was as if God had taken what I just told him I couldn’t do anymore from me and it scared me!!! It was a different feeling!! I couldn’t quite understand what had just happened But God lovingly took it all away from and showed me he didn’t want me to be in this kind of turmoil!! I didn’t like that feeling!! It was a feeling of emptiness but an emptiness of feeling he wasn’t there and that this time he wouldn’t be able to forgive because I had really went overboard!! I didn’t like that feeling!! I wanted to feel my God’s presence!! I wanted to feel my loving father next me even as I am battling what I am battling, knowing I couldn’t keep going without him even though I had said such words to him!!
I repented and apologized to our Father in Heaven for saying such things!!! Because I do want his will for me!! I want to live only for him!! I want to fight and be in his word and promises!!! I spent all day just crying and praising and in his word… I needed my father to comfort me because without him I am nothing!! He is my Breathe Of Air!! He is the only one that I can rely on to get us through and he showed me so lovingly yesterday and in my dream from last night!! He gave me the number 5 in my dream last night! Gave me the word Christ!! As I was reading this from Teresa, I am in Aww to see what God just showed me and that I know he is for us. That he shows us things through our family that are praying and standing with us!! He knows exactly what to show us and when!! I love this!!
I was so sorry for even letting myself feel that way but he let me and just loved me, even after i felt such a conviction in my heart because he is so dear to my heart that I couldn’t believe I would hurt our God like this!!! But he took it and let me have a moment knowing that after I had it I would understand so many things!! That my heart hurt so much because I am in love with a father that will never leave me nor forsake me!!!! That he understands me like no one will ever understand me!!! That in my dream he showed me he loved me by showing me the number 5!!! That God is our Fresh Breath in this life here on Earth and that he will forever get us through what we need to get through because he is such a loving Father!! GOD LOVES US!! HE LOVES US SO MUCH AND WHEN WE CARRY THAT LOVE IN US, THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN COME BETWEEN US!! NOTHING!!! BECAUSE IT IS THAT TANGIBLE LOVE WE CARRY THAT WE CAN’T HELP BUT SAY I AM SORRY LORD, PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!! FORGIVE ME FOR MESSING UP BECAUSE I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT YOU, BECAUSE I LOVE YOU BACK SO MUCH!!! THINGS WILL GET BETTER THIS WAS JUST ONE DAY AND IT IS THE PAST ALREADY!!! I KNOW THAT NOW!!! I HAVE STARTED A NEW DAY AND IN THE PRESENCE OF MY ONE TRUE LOVE, MY GOD, MY FATHER, MY ELOHIM, MY JEHOVAH JIRAH, MY JEHOVAH NISSI, MY EVERYTHING AND THERE ISN’T ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD THAT COULD EVER MAKE ME FEEL THIS WAY BUT OUR GOD!!! I LOVE YA’LL LADIES SO MUCH AND AM GRATEFUL TO HAVE EACH ONE OF YA’LL ON THIS GREAT JOURNEY GOD HAS FOR ME AND MY FAMILY!!! SORRY SO LONG!! FELT THE NEED TO WRITE THIS!! HOPEFULLY IT’S NOT TOO MUCH. IF IT IS FEEL FREE TO TAKE IT DOWN!! HEHE!!
This is raw…it is real…it is your experience and I am honored that you would choose to share your angst from the deep. Please remember this…GOD can never be hurt by you – HE only hurts FOR you Renee. You are so beautiful and to know that you have been overwhelmed like this only makes us know how much we need one another and to point each other back to HIM as HE is our only Refuge and Strength. You are a blessing and continuing to pray for your Donovan and your family. Praying reinforcements in to help and assist you as well.
