The Holy Breath of YHWH

There at conception was the tailor of my soul.

He birthed me and guided me, until His story was told!

Six years of my life he gently whispered, “Come unto me.”

Willingly, surrendering, I heard his love story.

Without hesitation, my broken-child’s-heart, responded to the Lord!

I heard Him knocking, so I opened the door!

A breath of fresh air blew into my being…

What is this? I couldn’t believe the wonder I was receiving…

The old life vanished and, in an instant, I was made new…

This is what he had promised when I didn’t have a clue!

Five more years I walked with the life-man, then I heard Him whisper,

“Child, I have someone for you to meet, He will help you understand!

He’ll comfort you in brokenness, guide you through the wilderness, protect you from the enemy, Tell you all about me. He’s gentle and caring, he won’t force his ways on you. But lovingly and tenderly, He’ll show you, how to live this life with grace and gratitude.”

“Oh yes Adonai, I’d love to meet him too!”

His name is Holy-Spirit, full of Power, Love and Self-Control, He longs to live within you and make you completely whole! One with the Father, One with the Son, open your heart child and Holy-Breath and Fire will come!

The encounter…

Seeking, the Way-Maker, Truth-Teller, Life-Sustainer, I humbly pray. Jesus, I love you I’ll do what you say!

Overcome in Brilliant-Light’s-Flow, languages I did not know…it fills my mouth and takes control…Heavenly words on thee, I bestow! A power so intense I cannot comprehend, covers me inside and out…Oh, let this never end!

He’s been a friend that has never left me, and He never condemns. He’s taught me about love, patience, longsuffering, joy, gentleness, faith, goodness and self-control; all these are his character straits, I too, can have these, when I’m humble, yet bold!

He’s healed me, delivered me, shown me mysteries and has loved me even when I was not so lovely… Oh do not grieve him in unbelief…

But ask him and he’ll show you how to believe!

He will never, ever leave me, won’t desert me, or cast me upon life’s tattered shore!

He’ll comfort me and guide me, to Heaven’s open door…

Then, I will see Him face to face, Gracious-Holy-Spirit-of-Truth and His Amazing Grace!

I’ll see Jesus and Papa God and Mama and all the rest…

And worship with the Angels in blessed holiness!

Until then, I will continue to let Him dwell within!

“I’m telling you these things while I’m still living with you. The Friend, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send at my request, will make everything plain to you. He will remind you of all the things I have told you. I’m leaving you well and whole. That’s my parting gift to you. Peace. I don’t leave you the way you’re used to being left—feeling abandoned, bereft. So don’t be upset. Don’t be distraught. John 14:26-27 The Message

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8 New International Version

 A Sound Like a Strong Wind When the Feast of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Without warning there was a sound like a strong wind, gale force—no one could tell where it came from. It filled the whole building. Then, like a wildfire, the Holy Spirit spread through their ranks, and they started speaking in a number of different languages as the Spirit prompted them. Acts 2:1-4 The Message

While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on Gentiles. For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God.

Then Peter said, “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water. They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.” So, he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days. Acts 10:44-48 New International Version

 Jesus Promises Another Helper “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

Indwelling of the Father and the Son “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”

Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”

Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.

The Gift of His Peace “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. Peace, I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.

“And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe. I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here. John 14:15-31 New King James Version
