Open Heavens Daily Devotional Written by: Pastor E.A. Adeboye Tuesday 18th June, 2013 WHEN THE WIND BLOWS Memorise: And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea. Exodus 15:8 Read: John 20:21-22 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. John 20:21 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: John 20:22 Message If you want to belong to the reigning team, sign a pact with the Holy Spirit. Severally in scriptures, the Holy Spirit is compared to the wind. Understanding some characteristics of the wind gives us some insight into the personality of the Holy Spirit. The wind as a breeze can blow gently, we see the Holy Spirit exhibiting this trait in Samson. The spirit first began to move him gently once in a while in Judges 13:24-25. The Holy Spirit can also behave like a rushing mighty wind blowing suddenly, as was the case in Acts 2:1-7. He can also move massively like a storm. At the front of the Red sea, Moses lifted his hands and the east wind blew throughout the night until the Red sea parted (Exodus 14:19-22). While describing the experience later in Exodus 15:8, Moses said, “And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.” In other words, this can be pictured as God sneezing and emitting the Spirit in the form of air from His nostrils, and He parted the mighty Red sea into two. What a mighty God we serve! It is the wind that gives a mighty aeroplane its lift. The reason an aeroplane runs very fast before takeoff is because air at a higher speed has a lower pressure than air at a lower speed.what space do you av 4 D̶̲̥̅εε Holy spirit to fill?
