GOD BREATHS LIFE INTO US

GOD BREATHS LIFE INTO US


God breathed life into me
The first time
Om January 19^th, 1955-


UNFORTUNATELY-I didn't
Always get it right


And FORTUNATELY for me
He BREATHED LIFE into me
For the second time in a life
And death situation
That began in January of 1977


And still exists today
As a chronic condition


God GAVE me eternal life-
Through his Jesus-and he
GAVE it to you too


“........The Lord
FORMED man out of the clay
Of the ground


And blew into his nostrils
THE BREATH OF LIFE
And so man became
A living being” Genesis 2:7


It is-of course-God-
And his Son-Jesus
Who CONTROL life and death
In this world
And the next


But there ARE times
One man can HELP another man
Physically-spiritually-and emotionally


HELP each other
With the breath of life
UNDER God's control


ONE WAY we can help another
IS with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
Or even by donating
A body part


Emotionally=by keeping on ENCOURAGING
And spiritually by PRAYING for one another


MIRACLES come in ALL shapes and sizes
But it is God and Jesus
Who ULTIMATELY control
All of them


It is God and Jesus
Who BREATHE LIFE into us


Life in this world and ETERNAL LIFE


“For with you
It is the FOUNTAIN of life
In your light-WE SEE the light” Psalm 36:9


“The fear of the Lord
Is a fountain of life


TURNING a person
From the snares of death” Proverbs 14:27


“As for you
See that what you have heard
From the beginning
REMAINS in you


If it does
You will also remain
In the SON-
And in the Father


And this is what
He PROMISED US-ETERNAL LIFE” 1 John 2:24-25


Our CHRISTIAN FAITH
Calls us to embrace
The TRUTH that there is NO DEATH


I TOTALLY believe that-DO YOU?


Our physical death
Is merely just a PASSAGE
From this earthly life


To the heavenly life
With God and Jesus


WHEN we breathe our last breath
In this life


God will draw NEAR
And breathe life into for us
For yet a SECOND TIME


God BREATHES LIFE into us
Yet again


And we will RISE AGAIN
To life


In Jesus' name,
