HOLY SPIRIT - THE BREATH OF GOD

PENTECOST SUNDAY MESSAGE AT BETHEL
(Below is an excerpt of Pastor Rick's message from Sunday, June 4th)

“Four days removed from life, in a sealed grave, the darkened atmosphere hung heavy with the stench of death. Then came the command of Christ roaring upon the silent void of this macabre scene.

The captor released its grip upon the tomb’s incumbent and lifeless frame, as the breath of God filled depleted lungs with resurrection life. The immaterial was re-joined with the physical as the insatiable appetite of decay was itself put to death.

The tomb was flooded with the breath of God's presence, delivering heaven’s command through the lips of the Resurrection and the Life, that this dead man, should not remain as such.

The fragrant breath of The Almighty blew the stench of death off of one no longer held its captive. Resurrected by The Word and Breath of God, Lazarus emerged from the darkness a dead man no more, that all the World should see that Jesus does not come to one’s grave to perfume decaying flesh, but to impart the breath of God.

​In Christ no dead man is ever left behind.”
