More pneuma

When Ezekiel obeyed God and proclaimed, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord...live ...and know that I am God' the Bible says: 'The bones...came together ... but….there was no breath in them' (Ezekiel 37:7-8 TLB). So at that point He ceased talking to the dry bones and went directly to the source - the wind, the pneuma which is God's Spirit, saying: 'Breathe upon these slain, that they may live' (v9). You will never experience a divine visitation or a supernatural solution by looking to flesh and blood; that kind of experience comes only from God Himself. When you need His help, you must go directly to the source!

Today if you are struggling with financial pressures, health issues, addictions, or relationship problems, you need a fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit. Job said, 'The breath of the Almighty gives me life' (Job 33:4 NIV). So call 'time out,' get alone and pray, 'Holy Spirit breathe on me.'
