"So, what I love about this, folks, is that right out of the gate, the very first references we find in the very beginning of the Bible, has to do with the connection of the word pneuma, or the idea of the spirit.

And all of a sudden, God breathed in his breath of God, and brought order out of the chaos." [58:44] (27 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)

But then you stand back and they oh yeah, I know I now I see it gone. I see how you're revealing. So here's your homework assignment today. Ready? I want you to think about all over the next week."
