Heavenly Father spoke to my spirit a special message of refreshing and recovery for you.
He’s releasing the air of Heaven, encircling you.
His word is: Breathe.
Father’s breath of life awakened Adam into a living soul.
Listen to the sound of your breath.
Breathe in through your nose (and mouth, if needs be).
It’s a wind-like sound, a slight, almost imperceptible, “Yah.”
Breathe out through your mouth.
It’s a sigh, a slight, “Weh.”
Yahweh.
Our breath.
Paul wrote, “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” (NIV, Romans 10:8).
So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit” (NIV, 1 Corinthians 15:45).
Jesus is The Word, and His nearness is literally breathing life through our mouths. Father’s name, which starts with Shin (which looks somewhat like an English W and is the first letter in Shaddai, Shalom, Shabbat), is literally shaped in the organ and ventricles of our hearts.
Shock and trauma that can accompany sudden bad news interrupt our breath and heartbeat. This is called a heart-shock. When we don’t recover our breath to normalcy fairly soon, it shifts our frequency and the inner flow of our life. The blood and lymph become restricted, which affects all types of functions in the body.
If the central nervous system freezes in the heart-shock (or trauma) state, chronic health patterns develop. Further, if you know or suspect that your CNS has frozen in one of these states, breath work with meditation in Holy Spirit will also begin or accelerate your recovery. By breath work, I’m referring to intentional time, focus, and space for breathing with meditation, not toil, strain, or striving.
Breath work with meditation is your intention and focus set on Holy Spirit and the Word. Together, these greatly expand your capacity to trust Him and reduce your physical pain level by the process of recalibrating your CNS. In this process, you allow Heavenly Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit access to your physical biology through your spirit (meditation) and your soul (intention to breathe and focus). His life actually soothes and energizes your physical biology through your partnership here.
Listen to this good news about the heart benefit of trust:
“Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever.
They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear; in the end they will look in triumph on their foes” (NIV, Psalm 112:6-8).
Heavenly Father is creating space in this time for you to recover your breath.
He’s breathing life into your soul.
I encourage you to stop and receive it.
Below is Laura C’s song “Shalom.” Listen as you can, and allow your breathing to sync to Father’s breath of life and the air of Heaven. His Shalom enveloping you is helping refresh you and recover your breath.
