How to Flow with the Breath of God

by Pastor Dag Heward-MIlls

The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. Job 33:4
The wind of God and the breath of God are the greatest life-giving powers on earth.  When we speak of the breath of God we speak of something that gives life.
When God breathed into Adam, he received the life of God.

1. God the Father brought life into the earth by the breath of God. Flowing with the breath of God is flowing with the life of God. 
But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE; AND MAN BECAME A LIVING SOUL. Genesis 2:6-7

All other planets in the solar system lack one thing. They lack life!  There is no breath of God on Mars, on Venus, on Jupiter or on Mercury. All the other planets have mountains, hills and vast expanses of rock and sand.  Mars has a mountain far taller than Mount Everest.  Venus has rain, though it is sulphuric acid rain. Venus has clouds just like the earth. Titan, one of the moons of Saturn, has seas and lakes of liquid ethane and methane.   However, none of these places have any life.
Life comes from God. It is only when the breath of God came into the dust of the earth that human life was created.   When God breathed into the dust, the dust became a living soul.  When you die, you return to dust and become dust! Within a few years your body is not distinguishable from the earth’s dust.  No one can find you nor your bones any longer.    It is the breath of God that gives you life.

2. Jesus believed in the breath of God.  
And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: John 20:22

Flow with the breath of God by believing that when breath comes into you, life comes into you.  Jesus believed in the wind of the Spirit and breathed on His disciples. When Jesus breathed on the disciples, they received the Holy Spirit. I believe that the disciples received life in that moment.
Breathing the breath of God is a way of ministering the Holy Spirit to people.  It is a way of ministering life to people.

3. Ezekiel believed in the breath of God. 
God commanded Ezekiel to prophesy to the wind.  When he prophesied to the wind, breath entered into bones and they came alive.  When the breath of the Holy Spirit comes into you, life will come into you.

So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. THEN SAID HE UNTO ME, PROPHESY UNTO THE WIND, PROPHESY, SON OF MAN, AND SAY TO THE WIND, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; COME FROM THE FOUR WINDS, O BREATH, AND BREATHE UPON THESE SLAIN, THAT THEY MAY LIVE. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
Ezekiel 37:7-10

Seven Things That Happen When the Breath of God comes into You
1. Flow with the breath of God and begin to move. You receive life when the breath of God comes into you: Anything that has life has movement.
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly THE MOVING CREATURE THAT HATH LIFE, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
Genesis 1:20

“If the breath of the Holy Spirit is working in you, you will move according to His plan. Movement is the greatest evidence of life. When someone lies still without movement, everyone fears that he is dead.  When the breath of the Holy Spirit is in you keep moving in the will of God. You may move into the evangelistic ministry, you may move into the prophetic ministry. You may move into other realms of ministry. You may even change location.  Do not be worried when you are transferred.  It is a sign of life that you keep moving. Dead things do not move!

2. Flow with the breath of God and begin to communicate. You receive life when the breath of God comes into you: Life has communication.
Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
Psalms 150:6

“When the breath of God is in you, you will praise the Lord. When the breath of God is in you, you will speak and you will communicate. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Whatever has life must communicate! When the anointing of the spirit of God is upon you, you will communicate. Dead people do not speak. Pastors who do not communicate do not have the Holy Spirit in them.
There are many people who do not communicate as they ought to. It is the number one sign that they lack the spirit.  When my father died, the thing I noticed most was the fact that he did not speak any more.  His voice was a strong guiding factor in everything I did. The absence of his voice was quite remarkable. Even at his funeral I thought he would give instructions and tell everyone what to do! But somehow, he lay there silently and never said a word again up till now.

3. Flow with the breath of God and begin to see, to hear and to feel.  You receive life when the breath of God comes into you: Life has feelings, life has sight and life makes sounds.
One of the things that will shock you about dead bodies is the way they do not respond to a knife cutting them. During post-mortem examination, they do not flinch or show any feelings at all.  It is amazing to see how a person accepts to live in a fridge for two weeks without complaining. This is only because the person is dead.  He is without feeling, without sight and without sound. He does not mind the silence in the fridge or the cold of the fridge.  When you are flowing with the wind of the Spirit you will enjoy the work of God. You will have feelings.  You will enjoy what you do. You will like it. You will love it. When the wind of the Spirit is flowing, you will see visions and you will hear the voice of the Lord.

Indeed, many people complain that they are having sex with a virtual dead body when their partners do not make any sounds or show any feelings.   When people do not show any interest in the sexual act, you cannot blame their partners for thinking they are interacting with a dead body. The lack of feelings always speaks of death.
Everything that has life has feelings. Everything that has life can see and can hear.   This is why the inability to see or to hear is a severe handicap that demands great compassion from fellow human beings. Any creature that can neither see nor hear nor feel is virtually experiencing death.  When the wind of the Holy Spirit blows on you, you start to see, you start to hear and you start to feel.

4. Flow with the breath of God and begin activities.  You receive life when the breath of God comes into you: Life has activity.
“When the wind of the Spirit is in you, there will be activity. Churches that have activity prove that the Spirit of God is moving in them. Where there are no activities, there is no Spirit.  When a person is dead, he does not get involved in parties, he does not go to school, he does not go to work and he does not go to church. There is no more activity for him.  A sign of the presence of the breath of the Spirit is lots of activity.
And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. Genesis 7:21-22

6. Flow with the breath of God and begin to grow.  You receive life when the breath of God comes into you: Life has growth.
Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
Psalms 104:29
Wherever there is life there is growth. All creatures, once they are dead, stop growing. A church which does not grow does not have the mighty spirit of God moving in their midst. A ministry that does not grow is not alive. If the mighty breath of God is there, there will be life and there will be growth.  Is your church growing? Are the numbers increasing? Is the Spirit there? Is there life there?

7. Flow with the breath of God and begin to reproduce. You receive life when the breath of God comes into you: Life has reproduction.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the LIVING CREATURE AFTER HIS KIND, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
Genesis 1:24
When there is life, there is reproduction. All living creatures reproduce after their own kind.  Once there is life there is reproduction. A church that is alive reproduces other churches.  A minister who has the breath of God reproduces other ministers after his own kind.  Reproduction is always a sign of the breath of God.  It is time to reproduce pastors! It is time to reproduce bishops! It is time to reproduce churches. It is time to reproduce choirs. It is time to show that the breath of God is in you!
