Breath of the Spirit


A baby is born – you slap them on the behind (do they really do that or is that TV myth?) and they take their first independent breath and maybe even a howl and cry. As time progresses that first breath moves beyond cries to words and as we learn and grow and are inspired by the Holy Spirit the words become prophecy.

Acts 2:16-18  16 No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:  17 'In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.  18 Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.

The Spirit dares us to dream dreams and to be the voice for the voiceless that the Realm of God may be lived among us.

Come hear the voice of God through today’s disciples; young and old, male and female.

Open yourself to the word of God still speaking today.
