Sprit. Wind. Breath. Soul.
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Gen 1:2
In a recent study of Earth Science i learned that the winds that blow across the planet are what moves and divides the firmaments as well as influence the currents and storms that move the storms and oceans.
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, (rather interesting considering he later cursed the ground) and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
I wish i could find it now that i want to pass it on… there was a video i saw recently that talks about the word Yahweh (the Jewish spelling, “Yhwh”, uses no vowels) is actually the representation of the sound of God’s breath. My connection is that when he breathed into us the breath of life, his breath, he breathed into us the same “Sprit” that moved across the face of the deep, the same “Wind” that separated the firmaments, the same “Breath” that gave us life, our “Soul”, the Holy Ghost and with each breath that we take we are to be returning praise to Him.
At the time of the triumphal entry the High priests were rebuking Jesus to tell those shouting Hallelujah and praising him to tell them to stop. Instead he rebuked the leaders.
I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out. Luke 19:40
After his resurrection, Jesus appeared into a locked room among his disciples.
‘Peace to to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.’ And when He had said this, He breathed of them, amd said to them, ‘Recieve the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any they are retained’. John 20:21 – 23
He showed himself alive for 40 days before his ascension. He told them he would “baptize them with the Holy Ghost” soon and gave them their commission.
…you shall receive power, after the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and you shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:8
Then then the day of Pentecost…
…suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Acts 2:2 – 4
The Spirt of God spoke through them just as His Spirt can and will speak through the rocks if we do not praise Him.
