John 3:8 NIV ~ “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.”
Acts 2:1-2 NKJV ~ “When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.”
I was listening to a sermon by Kevin Wallace, and it let a fire under me as he gave the analogy of the box fan and the Wind of God! You do know what that is correct? It’s a fan made like a box and if you ever went to your grandmother’s house as a little child you know exactly what it is! This fan could cool a whole room in the evening, and the sound it made is one that will always be a memory for you. In this sermon, Rev. Wallace could not find the fan, but he had an app that sounded like a fan! But no wind! This app was a counterfeit for the original. I mean, sometimes all it takes is the appearance of something being real, and we will take this and run with it! The thing with this counterfeit, it sounded good, it may have even looked good, but there was no evidence of the wind!
As for you, when you try and perpetuate as a Christian, you look good, you sound good, but there is no evidence of change in your life, there is no fruit! (Matthew 7:20, “Therefore by their fruits you will know them.”) Fake and phony can never replace real and authentic, no matter what you do! When you have the real Holy Ghost in your life, you will fill the wind of the Holy Ghost upon you! And this means that you have consecrated yourself before God and you are choosing to live a Holy and Righteous life!
As you have been consecrating yourself this week and going through the sanctification process, I want to know if you need a revival in your soul? If your answer is yes, ask God to let His Wind blow upon you, for when the wind the blows, there will be movement. For the Holy Spirit is like the wind and when the Holy Spirit blows into your life, something has got to change! Wind cannot be seen, but the effects can be felt and hear, just like the Holy Spirit, you can’t see but you know it’s there. You can feel the effects of His Presence and His Power. For on the Day of Pentecost, the sound filled all the house where they were sitting, and the wind of God cover each one of them right where they were!
As you consecrate and sanctify yourself before God, you will feel the Anointing of God, fall all over you like a Mighty Rushing Wind, blow wind blow! When the Holy Ghost, comes in the Room, it brings deliverance to the room and it sets the captives free, (Luke 4:18)! This is freedom like you have never known or felt before! When the wind blows, it will remove the silence out of you and expose what you have been trying to cover up! No longer will you be bound, and your soul will be saved, (Galatians 5:1)! When the wind of the Spirit of God blows upon you it blows life back into you again, and you will no longer lack Power from on High!
For when the Wind of the Holy Spirit blows on you, it will cause your vision to come alive with the life of God! Now if you like your quiet and quaint relationship with God, you are in for some noise, because you see when the Holy Spirit’s Wind blows, it is not going to be a quiet affair. It is going to be a powerful force that brings sound and sweeps downward from Heaven like the roaring of the sea!and your fruit will be seen by others after the wind blows!
Think about the wind and breath of God like this, when God formed man, He formed him perfectly, but he wasn’t alive until God breathe life into him (see Genesis 2:7)! So, you see you were lifeless until God breathed His breath of life in you! Just like when the Church was assembled on the Day of Pentecost, it had no power until the Holy Spirit was breathed into that place. The Wind came in loud and exploded upon everyone that was gathered there, and the Power of God came upon all of them and they all were empowered by that Mighty Force of Wind!
You see it was at that moment of the wind blowing that the exchange changed, and the Holy Spirit moved in! You see the Holy Spirit brings change like the wind! Did you know that energy is produced by the wind blowing and when the Holy Spirit moves in this manner, He supplies Supernatural Energy that will empower you to do what you could not naturally do on your own, but now you can since God has blown His Supernatural Wind of His Holy Spirit on you!
I want you to know that you cannot fake this! Either you are filled with the Anointing of the Holy Spirit, or you are just full of it like the Fan App! You look good and sound good, but there is no power in you and it is evident by your lack of fruit that you are producing, (John 15:4)! When the Holy Spirit comes in, He’s like a whirlwind shaking loose that which needs to fall from you, something in you is about to change! And this is not a fake it until you make it moment, this is real! Get real before God, He’s waiting for you at the Altar of Consecration! Do you want to be filled with the Holy Spirit or just be a form? Today, you need to really look at yourself and see what the wind needs to blow away so that when the Wind of God blows on and over you it will be able to settle in and become established in you!
Let’s Pray:
Father, I thank You for the blowing of the Holy Spirit that came to empower me and to make me alive in You and to represent You well on the earth! Father, I’m asking You to blow Your Wind upon me, upon my family, my church, my job, my neighborhood, my city, my state, my world and the nation so that they all will moved by the Holy Spirit and be Supernaturally empowered to do the work that You created us for from the beginning! Father, I decree and declare that I will not be satisfied until the fresh wind of the Holy Spirit has blown upon me today and has given me fresh manna, a divine life and divine energy, for I know that without You I can do nothing, but when Your Spirit blows upon me suddenly I am empowered to do what I could have never done before. Father, right now I am opening myself up to the rushing mighty wind of Your Holy Spirit. I am ready to receive a fresh infilling of Your Divine Winds and to empower me for Your Glory and Service. In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
Blessings…
Love, Minister Jean
