You probably weren’t thinking about breathing until you read this, but now you notice it, don’t you? Maybe you’ve even taken control of your breath. You can even hold your breath if you want to do that. You can slow or quicken your breath. What you cannot do is stop. If you were to try that, if you were fantastically successful, you would eventually loose consciousness, and once that happened, your body would take over and you would begin to breath again. In fact, that happens to you each night when you lay down to sleep. Even though you are not aware of it, you continue to breath without trying to do it. Most of your life, you pay no attention at all to the slow rhythm of your body pulling air in and letting it go. In Hebrew and in Greek, the words that describe this process of moving air into and out of your body are respectively “ruach” and pneuma.” The idea in these words is that of moving air. There is another word for “life-breath” in Hebrew (nephesh), but the word ruach” is a common one for breath. Interestingly, the word for the moving of air that gives life to breathing animals is also the word for the moving of air on the earth. Both ruach and pneuma are sometimes translated into English as “wind.” To we English speakers, the words “breath” and “wind” are distinctly separated concepts. For those who spoke these two ancient languages, however, the idea of life- giving movement of air that is breath was the same word for the movement of air that ruffles your hair and makes the leaves of the trees to sing. In their minds, it was as if the earth were breathing. The moving air was like creation breathing, or perhaps the breath of God himself. There is one other way these words might be translated into English: “spirit.” If you see the word “spirit” in your scripture, always remember that to the ancients, this word was suggestive of the idea of moving air. Like the wind or even your own breathing, it was something that moved without your will to make it move. Like the wind, the idea of “spirit” was of something mysteriously power- ful. Like your breath, the idea of “spirit” was of something that gave you life. Now become aware of your breathing again. In. Out. In. Out. The ever moving air that is giving you life. But of course, you know that the true life is coming from another breath. The breath of God, the divine wind, the Holy Spirit - this is what moves in and through you, and it is He that has truly given you life. - Ethan Brown

Take a moment as you read this and become aware of your breathing. You probably weren’t thinking about breathing until you read this, but now you notice it, don’t you? Maybe you’ve even taken control of your breath. You can even hold your breath if you want to do that. You can slow or quicken your breath. What you cannot do is stop. If you were to try that, if you were fantastically successful, you would eventually loose consciousness, and once that happened, your body would take over and you would begin to breath again. In fact, that happens to you each night when you lay down to sleep. Even though you are not aware of it, you continue to breath without trying to do it. Most of your life, you pay no attention at all to the slow rhythm of your body pulling air in and letting it go. In Hebrew and in Greek, the words that describe this process of moving air into and out of your body are respectively “ruach” and “pneuma.” The idea in these words is that of moving air. There is another word for “life-breath” in Hebrew (nephesh), but the word “ruach” is a common one for breath.

September Prayer Requests

September Missions Update:

Greetings from our family. This is our 12th year of laboring in the mission work in the kingdom of Thailand. God has blessed and brought fruits in His work. Up to the present time we have had 2

new congregations established (Kalasin and Kuchinarai), 2 dying congregations have been

re-established (Amnatcharoen and Roi-Ed). Plus, a small, longtime established group of believers in Surin province who have been taught through our weekend Bible school. We are thankful for these 5

faithful congregations here in the NE region—a total of 93 believers, 10 little children altogether, who desire to learn, live and serve God together.
