The Holy Spirit like the Wind
(Jn. 3:1~13)
Genesis 1:2 says, “Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.” When the Holy Spirit who is the Spirit of God hovered, the third dimensional material world that is formless and empty and filled with darkness was changed into a good place in God’s eyes.
1. The Holy Spirit who brings change and creation
1) If you look in John, Jesus described the Holy Spirit as the wind. Jesus said to Nicodemus, “The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” (John 3:8)
2) The wind is invisible and untouchable. Even though the Holy Spirit is invisible, He is always with us and brings changes and creation in our life.
2. The Holy Spirit who leads and helps us
1) Although the Holy Spirit is invisible like the wind, He is always with us.
2) Changes and creation of life do not come with man’s strength. When we acknowledge, welcome and invite the Holy Spirit, He will work, and the works of changes and creation in our life will come.
3. Be filled with the Holy Spirit through prayer
1) In order to receive the help of the Holy Spirit, we must pray fervently. Romans 8:26 says, “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.” When we pray, the Holy Spirit works and brings wonders and miraculous signs.
2) If the wind of the Holy Spirit blows, the works of life are revealed in places where there is death. The wind of the Holy Spirit blows away sins, transgressions, diseases, curses and death and fills the life of God within us.
Conclusion
The wind of the Devil is the wind of death. The wind of the Holy Spirit is the wind of life that saves all things. Therefore, we must pray fervently so that the wind of the Holy Spirit blows in individuals, families, societies and countries. Then, individuals, families, countries and people will live within the Lord.
