Breathe!

Lord, Help! I need inspiration. Do you ever experience those times when you just don’t seem to have any new revelation?

Inspiration is defined as “the act of inspiring or breathing in; breath” (Web.1913) When you’re out of you feel “out of breath.” or even like you’re under water. When you’re there all you want is air.

Inspiration is also defined as “1: arousal of the mind to special unusual activity or creativity 2: a product of your creative thinking and work” (Word Net) This simply means that when you’re “out of breath” you mind is oxygen deprived and you’re non-inspired.

But the breath of God will feed your creative thinking if you will draw it in. Sometimes you just have to stop and breathe and remember what you already believe. God’s Word is like clean and crisp mountain air and there’s more than enough of it to inspire the entire creation. So when you don’t get something new, then just go with what you know. Breathe His Word in again and again, your life will renew as His Spirit flows through.

Ezek 37:1-14
1 The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. 2 Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry. 3 And He said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?"

So I answered, "O Lord God, You know."

4 Again He said to me, "Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, 'O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: "Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. 6 I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord."'"

7 So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them.
9 Also He said to me, "Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, 'Thus says the Lord God:"Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live."'" 10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.

11 Then He said to me, "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say,'Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!' 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, 'Thus says the Lord God: "Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 13 Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves. 14 I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it and performed it," says the Lord.'"
