Spiritual Resuscitation

This afternoon while I was talking on the phone I lost the connection due to high winds. I looked at the phone and it read "No signal". Then it switched to say "Searching" and this word "Searching" continued to flash for some time. I went to my door to see what was happening outside. As I watched the winds blowing fiercely, the Lord gave me this word. Many of you feel as if you lost your spiritual reception and you need a fresh breath of God. The word breath in the Old Testament is translated "Ruach" and in the New Testament it is "Pneuma". In most scriptures this word is also used interchangeably with the word "Spirit". When God breathe into Adam, He released life to him (ruach). When Jesus breath on his disciples He said: Receive the Holy Spirit (pneuma). Some of you are so exhausted and  spiritually fatigued that you feel as if the breath was knocked out of you. Jesus wants to revive you once again.

The Lord says to those of you who are spiritually famished, allow Me to breathe My breath back into you. Just as Elisha brought the Shunammite woman's dead son back to life as he laid on the boy mouth to mouth, eye to eye, hand to hand and the boy was restored back to life. I am your Ruach. I am your Pneuma. Allow Me to resuscitate you with My breath and revive those dead areas in your life. I will breathe upon you to rekindle the fire that you once had. I will breathe upon you to refresh you once again. As I breathe upon you, you will receive authority in My name. And In the same way that I breath upon My disciples after I walked out of the tomb, and walked through the door where they were staying, I say "Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you." In the same way that I breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. You will also receive power as I breathe upon you to commission you into what you were called to do.

And as I breathe upon you, you will receive My anointing to do great exploits and learn how to walk in a new dimension of signs and wonders. You will have dominion over the kingdom of darkness and all the powers of the enemy. You will be activated once again in the gifts that have been assigned to you. As you allow Me to breathe My breath into you, you will speak with other tongues, you will prophesy, you will see visions and dream dreams. Just as I used my disciples I will use you in the same way to lay hands on others and transfer My glory to them. Just as I used them to lay hands on the sick, you will be appointed to do the same and the sick shall recover. Just as the day that the Holy Spirit fell upon those in the upper room I will visit you once again in a mighty way. Do not fear this intimacy but receive My glory and as you do, all things will be transformed in your life says the Lord.

2 Kings 4: 32 - 35

When Elisha came into the house, there was the child, lying dead on his bed. He went in therefore, shut the door behind the two of them, and prayed to the Lord. And he went up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, his eyes on his eyes and his hands on his hands; and he stretched himself out on the child, and the flesh of the child became warm. He returned and walked back and forth in the house, and again went up and stretched himself out on him; then the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.

John  20: 21-22

Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you." And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. 

Acts 4:31

And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
