Weak but strong: Write and speak by the Spirit
“I am weak, but he is strong.” When we know that, ahh, then we can learn to speak and write the powerful words given to us by the Spirit of Christ within us.
What does it mean, and how does it look, to cultivate Spirit-to-spirit intimacy with God?

Spiritual exhaling releases what God breathes into you, for the building of his kingdom and the honor of his name. Exhaling the Breath of God, you release life.
As you inhale, you’re filled with breath. As you inhale spiritually, you’re filled with the Breath of God. Spirit-to-spirit, you receive his life.
As breath is vital to the body, being filled with the Spirit and living in the power of the Spirit are vital to life in Christ.
Any time, ever, that you find yourself lying broken and spent, the Lord has a message for you. It’s his cry to wake you, and his promise to revive and restore.
When God’s people push against, instead of moving with, his Spirit, he knows the situation is dire. He sounds the alarm: My people aren’t breathing! Code blue!
Receiving and releasing the Breath of God is key to getting the toxins out and the life-giving stuff in, no matter what you're going through.
You pursue truth differently when you're desperate, when your life hinges on what you find – and your spirit is released to resonate with the Spirit of God.
Living by the Spirit creates intimate oneness with God. That is, your spirit learns to move with God’s Spirit, as one moves with a lead partner in a dance.
When it comes to dealing with anything spirit, the church has a long history of ignoring, twisting, adding to and taking away from the truth that gives us rest.
