“Don’t Hold Your Breath”

~Leah Shephard

” Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’ Ezekiel‬ ‭37‬:‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

As a child I remember playing games with my peers: holding our breath and counting the seconds. We selected the winner by their ability to hold the longest. Children underestimating the value of each breath, coupled with the danger associated with holding our breath too long. Obviously unaware that our future lives would be subjected to unwarranted occurrence’s that would seemingly snatch our breath away.

Can you recall an experience in your life that knocked the wind out of you, unexpected news that left you gasping for air? Are you holding your breath, afraid to exhale because the sound of your pain is deafening?  Is it disappointment, grief, divorce or emotional trauma?

Whatever you’re facing, God is here the giver of life. Breathing new life, strengthening, healing and empowering you.

I implore you to read Ezekiel 37:9-14

Breathe…”Our lives are but a vapor” James 4:14. Regard every breath as precious. Don’t hold your breath! I urge you to speak (prophesy) to any areas of your life that are slain. (Joy, hope, ambition or dreams) Reactivate them!

Your presence in the earth today confirms Gods purpose for you is greater than the fear that tried to suffocate you. Live! in Jesus name.

Exhale ~ The Kingdom is Yours!
