Spirit or breath or wind.....those are translations of the Greek word 'pneuma'.....and all of them give the impression of something fleeting, just out of our grasp, always on the move. That description works. God's Spirit moves among us, tantalizing us like the touch of a breeze or the mere wisp of a fragrance. The Spirit is always on the move - bringing life to others and others to a place of life.
If, however, you are under the impression that this moving, changing, ephemeral Spirit lacks power then I want to remind you of two things: Hurricane Sandy and the resurrection. A wind that knocked houses off their foundations and a tomb that could not contain death.
Never underestimate the power of God's breath at work.
