The Breath of Life - Pastor Greg Jones

``It's the breath of god. That fresh wind and breath of god in our life where we are refreshed and renewed. Amen. It it's what god does to to get us to that place to where where we're not just, you know, I've had this happen multiple times where come to church and you're just dragging, you're tired, had a long week, everything's coming against you, it seems but when you get in his presence and and the worship starts and all of a sudden, I can breathe. I I feel, I feel that strength and that from god. Amen. That's the refreshing that he's talking about that where god breathes fresh life into us. [00:10:45] (60 seconds)  #GodsBreathRefresh

We wanna talk about the ruach, the spirit of god, and that's good. I love talking about the ruach of god. I I love dealing with all that and the and the and the pneuma. They're both one and the same. One's just Hebrew, one's Greek. Amen. I I I love that. I love dealing with the spirit of god, but the breath of god is deeper than the spirit of god. It it it it represents the desire of what god wants in our lives. It represents the thoughts of man becoming what god wants us to think. It it it's where that literal living part of man makes him alive. That's what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about alive just breathing and alive on this earth. I'm talking about alive. We had a theme one time called alive in him. Amen. I'm that's what I'm talking about. Being alive in god and letting god be alive in us. Come on, somebody. We've gotta have the breath of god.

We want help me, Jesus. We want pulpits, and we want pianos, and we want instruments, and we want microphones, and we want all this to be a witness for god which none of that has nothing to do with being a witness. We were given power to be a witness to this world, to show this world god in us and god through us and god helping us. Amen. And god gave us that power. We didn't come up with this power. We didn't do it on our own. We didn't infuse us into ourselves. No. No. No. No. God gave us power when we received the baptism of the holy ghost. That pneuma, that breath of god that flowed into us.

Word impartation, a lot of people's taken in thinking that humanity can impart something to another human, and and there's this idea that prophets of today can impart no. No. No. No. You can't part anything but the word. We can preach the word and impart the word, and that's it. I can't impart spirit. I'm sorry. And there's too much of that trying to go on in our in our Christian world today. These guys calling themself prophet this and prophet that, and I'm imparting this into you. No. You can't. You can't can't impart that. You can impart knowledge, and that's it. You want scripture? I'll give it to you. We gotta go to this to find out what's right. But god can impart. He can impart his divine life into us. That power. [00:06:19] (65 seconds)  #OnlyGodImpartsLife

So I came to tell us, I believe god wants to touch our world, and I'm trying to get our church to that place to where we ask god to touch our world. We need to pray more than we've ever prayed. We need to worship harder than we've ever worshiped. We need to love him more than we've ever loved on him. Amen. And then here's the other side to that. Our world is depending on us. Or depending on us to be the church [00:14:29] (47 seconds)  #ChurchForTheWorld

When she gets up here, one of them, whoever does it and they get up here and read that we are here for the hurting. We are here to see the hurting healed. Amen. Can I tell you that is not inactive? That is very active because that's what god is trying to do. He's trying to get the church out there to touch people and to change people's lives. We are the living, breathing church of almighty god. We gotta let him work through us. [00:32:03] (37 seconds)  #ChurchForTheHurting

Y'all, if we're going to be what we need to be for god, we gotta let god. We gotta let him breathe into us. This setting back and and waiting on god to do everything. No, no, no, no. He's going to do it through you and me and so we gotta let him breathe into us. Amen. We gotta let him do what he wants through us and in us. That's what god wants to do. That's why he's waiting on us. He he he's waiting on us. He's waiting on us to surrender our way and our will to him. [00:20:39] (48 seconds)  #LetGodBreatheThroughUs

Amen. Imma tell you. We were we were put in this church to be alive and not dead. The church is a living organism of god. It's not a dead flesh. It's not a dead, dry bean. It's not just not just bones. No. It is a living, breathing, active thing that god made to change this world, to turn this world upside down. Amen. [00:30:42] (43 seconds)  #LivingBreathingChurch
