The Breath of Life in Man's Nostrils

Posted by Mike

I had been considering what to post here, and the thought came to mind about how the Lord had breathed into mans nostrils the breath of life.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why man's nostrils? Every class in CPR and every doctor and medical professional will all tell you that to revive a person, you use the mouth, not the nose. Why did the Lord choose man's nose?
The reason is simple. Man is first a natural being, second a spiritual being.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1Cor 15:46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Lord's plan and will was to minister equally to the physical as well as the spiritual, to give His eternal life not only to the spirit, by also to the physical. Two nostril, one for the physical nature, and one for the spiritual. This, then, is also what we are looking forward to attaining again, through Jesus' atoning death on the cross, and by His victorious resurrectoin.
Take a look at these verses in 1Cor 15:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thus originally Adam was a perfect, immortal being. The Lord had breathed into his physical body as well as his spiritual being, His very own breath of life, and man had become one with the Spirit of God in both realms! This then is how Adam could walk and talk with the Lord face to face. As a side note, it's interesting how Adam later on heard the voice of the Lord walking.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Genesis 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Lord is His voice, and His voice is the Lord, for His voice is the creation of His word, which is one of the things which He is. When He later told Abraham that His name was "I AM that I AM" it was an all-encompassing I and and all-encompassing AM. Presoton Eby once wrote that the Lord created spirit and the spiritual realm, therefore the Lord is as far above being just a spirit as the universe is above a postage stamp, but has allowed Himself to take on a spiritual existence in order that He may fellowship with His creation.

To get back to the breathe in the nostrils, then, we see that the Lord breathed equally into both the flesh and the spirit of man His divine life, His divine nature and His living spirit. Let's follow the breath. Up it goes into the sinuses, cooling and ministering to the brain, which within us has begun to become the mind of Christ, which is to say the mind of God's Annointed one as well as the mind of God's annointing.
This spirit breath of God's ministers to both sides of the brain, the logical as well as the creative. Let's look at what scientists have said are the attributes of man's brain (copied from the Dai;y Telegraph):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS - PHYSICAL (my note)
uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science
can comprehend
knowing
acknowledges
order/pattern perception
knows object name
reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS - SPIRITUAL (my note)
uses feeling
"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice how even scientist, who have no knowledge of God, have categorized the separate parts eaually. The spirit breath not only ministers to each side separately yet equally, but also cools the brain, and without that cooling system, the brain would soon overload and "burn up" for lack of a better term the same as would an air cooled engine.
The sinuses are med of of many air pockets, holding within them the hidden things of the spirit, and only by breating deeply can one dislodge and make use of the hidden pockets of the Lord's spiritual truths, which is what we do when we meditate in our minds about the mysteries of God, when we stop all else and empty ourselves of the cares of the day, and allow our minds to be ministered to by the Lord Himself.

From the sinuses, the breath then enters the throat, where it mingles together, physical and spiritual, making a complete and perfect mixture, where spirit and physical become one, where to be a physical child of God is to be a spiritual child of God, and vice-versa. We don't see this happening yet, but as it happens with our pysical breath, both side being co-mingled, we anticipate and come closer daily to the spiritual co-mingling also. This is the message of reconciliation coming to pass. This is what Paul was speaking of in the above verses from 1Cor 15.

From the throat, the breath now separates again into twon, with half going into the right lung, the other half into the left, from whence it is absorbed equally into the body, where it enters the blood, and is pumped to various parts of the body, keeping the whold alive.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Genesis 9:4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.

Genesis 9:5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.

Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

Leviticus 17:14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.

Deuteronomy 12:23 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.

John 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

John 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We can see here that the life is in the blood, and makes no distinction between the spirit or the physical, but where did the blood get the life? From the spirit breathe of the Lord as it is absorbed through the lungs. There is a difference in the breath as it enters the lungs. It has been mingled. So now you have a lung for the physical man, and a lung for the spiritual man, only now, due to the mingling, you now have a physical lung made perfect and complete by the infusing of the spirit, and a lung for the spirit lung made perfect and complete by the infusing and joining of the pysical, and both are so comlete that there is no way to separate the two ever again.

Now where does the breath go? It comes out of the mouth, the door, and as we form words, the breath of life gives sound and life to these words and in turn share that life with those who hear. That's the true creative power of the Word. The word is given life by the now complete spirit breath and ministers life to all it touches and to all who hear the sound of that breath. Jesus said tha He is the door. This is more than just a door on a house allegory. It is speaking of His words coming forth from deep within, coming out the door of His mouth, entering into the windows of our ears, revealing the hidden truths and mysteries of the kingdom, experientially creating the mind of Christ within us, which is again ministerd to within us by the life breath of God, running it's course throughout or body, and again coming out of our mouth as the creative Word of God.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We can see this happening to a small degree today, but this, however, is God's plan of the ages made manifest in His first creation man.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know that some of you are going to be thinking what a shame it is that Adam fell and that death entered in. This is a lie. Man had to acquire the knowledge of good and evil in order to experience being a separate living being. Without this knowledge he could have had no fellowship with the Lord, and could not have known the fullness of all that the Lord had prepared for him. He would have been no more than a robot, and because of this, death is not a curse, but a blessing. Imagine what it would have been like to live forever in carnality, in pain, in death, and in sickness, that was all brought about by the disobedience to God, and incidentally, it was not the disobedience which directly caused all of that. It was something else. The Lord had given control of creation to Adam, and by God's own higher laws, this control was passed on by word of mouth, or in other words, by the creative Word of God. That's why a lot of times Jesus spoke the words of healing and deliverance. He acted upon the word of the Father, Those words came forth from His lips and something was created. That's why Jesus could say that He is the Word. He had become what he had spoken by acting upon it as it mingled with every fiber of His being in all realms, and He was created as the very Word itself! Man completes the creation within himself and all he has control of as he absorbs that Word by means of hearing and understanding as well as acting upon that word, The serpent then spoke a word. Man absorbed that word and acted upon it. Man created a new thing within himself. He created a new thing to be used in the control of creation. He had created within himself a carnal nature. Then by acting upon the word spoken by the serpent, man turned control of creation over to the serpent. Whoever we submit to becomes our master, an d the master of all we own conntrol. Wether or not it was a real serpent or not, it is symbolic of our flesh man, our carnal nature. Perfect nature was now under imperfect control, and things went wrong. The system crashed, and crashed with a bang! All that the earth has become is the result of our own carnal nature being given control.

Now can you see why death was a blessing? Would you really want to live for all ages the way you are now, getting older and older, sicker and sicker, more and more problems, and never, ever, being able to die? Living forever in the carnal thoughts and desires, finally driving yourself mad, all with no escape? Incurable cancer with no relief? Never-ending pain?

God, in His mercy, gave us a way out, and that way was death by withdrawing all access to the tree of life. Man should have thanked Him for that blessing. Instead, we cursed the blessing, and in doing so turned more and more of creation over to the carnal, or evil, until there was no hope. Then came the law, and with law, the covering of sin in ordr that man could once again come before God, although it could never be in the spirit at that time, for the Word was the life, the life was in the blood, and the blood flowed through the physical.

Without death there would have been no shedding of blood, and without the shedding of blood, neither covering nor remission of sins could evr have been possible, and if there could have been no remission of sins, no law concerning it, and if these conditions had never been present, Jesus could have neither died nor risen. Wasn't it a blessing, then, that man was thrown out of the garden, and death entered in?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So then, acting upon what we hear creates something. Acting upon the spiritual creates spiritual, whereas acting upon the physical creates physical. We reconciliationist long for the mingling to again take place within. We long for the when the physical and the spiritual will again become one, for it is at that time that we shall be changed, and become not only what Adam had been created to be, but also a part of the body of Christ, and as the word Christ means annointed, we not only become a part of the Lord, we also become a part of the annointing, which is the cause of the experiential cleansing and perfection of all of creation. We long for the day when we can act fully upon the knowledge, wisdom and understanding which we have been given, and create a new thing and an old thing mingled together with Him.

JAMES 3
1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
3 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity; so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
See the creative power of the word uon our tongues. This is why we haven't seen it yet, but it is coming soon. It may not be in this lifetime, but there is the possiblility as the breath of life flows in and out of our nostrils, ministers to the mind of Christ within, mingles within our throats, is absovbed into our very lives, becomes and creates life within our own blood, which in turn has been mingled with the attoning blood of Jesus, and if we will allow only that living breathe of live to take hold of our voice, it shall be created.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In closing, here is something to meditate on. The Lord has given us a new name, which is His name. His name by transliteration is the fuur letters YHWH. This is un-pronounceable to the tongue, so the Jews changed it to Yahweh, which can be spoken, and was later changed to Jehovah, because the name Yahweh was considered too holy to say. To this day, when they write the name Yahweh, they use a symbol called 'yud which is an abbreviation, believing that the name is even too holy to write.

However, YHWH is the sound you make while inhaling and exhaling air. Try it. Inhale loudly and you will hear "YH" and when you exhale you will hear "WH" which is the name of God. No wonder Paul could say the following:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit , the redemption of our body.
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All in which there is the breath of life calls upon the Lord continously, with every breath (see especially verse 22 and 26). What is the groaning that cannot be uttered? The name of God, who is called upon with every breath we breathe.

Let's all make that calling and groaning and yearning and travailing concious to ourselves, and just see what we can create!

Ministry of the Manchild in Feeding the Multitudes

Posted by Mike

The other day the Lord gave me a teaching on the manchild and a small part of his ministry to the church as he beigins to be birthed from within us.
Joh 6:3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
Joh 6:4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
Joh 6:5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
Joh 6:6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
Joh 6:7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
Joh 6:8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,
Joh 6:9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
Joh 6:10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. Joh 6:11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
Joh 6:12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
Joh 6:13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
Jesus had taken the apostles, His remnant seed, up into a high place in the Lord (the mountain), and the church world had taken notice, due to the feast at hand, the passover (the message of the "normal" church world today), which the writer makes sure to note is for the Jews ONLY (only the Christians can participate in anything of God type message).
Jesus then asked the elect, the first-fruits company, if you will, the UR people, what they would give them to eat, and nothing was found, but one of the remnant, Andrew, the one who believed upon hearing the first words Jesus spoke to him, found within the church a lad. Strongs translate "lad" thusly:
G3808pa?da´????paidarionpahee-dar'-ee-on Neuter of a presumed derivative of G3816; a little boy: - child, lad.
literally, a MANCHILD!
Yes, the manchild had been found at last in the midst of all of the confusion and death, a manchild with a basket (our fleshly bodies) and in the basket 5 loaves, and 2 fish.
The 5 loaves were of barley, the most expensive grain of the day, the best of the Word of God, concealed in a basket of flesh.
This is an allegory of the true Word ministering the truth to the 5-fold ministry, which is NOT 5 kinds of ministers behind a pulpit, but rather a 5-fold ministry, as in a paper folded 5 ways. Same paper, 5 sides. 5-fold ministry, same ministry within all, yet 5 manisfestations as the Lord sees for to use us.
There were also 2 small fish, the beginning of the rule and reign of the king and priest ministry. There were the "meat" within our basket.
Jesus then made the people sit down, in other words, shut up, quit doing your own thing, stop everything, and I will feed you.
Because of the manchild ministry, the Word was magnified, glorified and multiplied within their midst, and the people were fed. Now it is the custom of every culture to make sandwiches, or else to roll or bake whatever you eat INTO the bread. When the people ate, the fish was in the middle (or midst) of the bread. The king and priest ministry comes forth from within the midst of the 5-fold ministry, giving life.
When they were done, there were 12 baskets of fragments, crumbs. Crumbs have one thing in common: they are all mixed together. They cannot be separated anymonre. There is no longer a difference in the Word we minister and give out. There are to be 12 baskets. 12 being the number of resurrecton, the "quickening" we are all anticipating as the manchild is birthed forth from within, contianed in baskets of gloried bodies, which has been supernaturally blessed.
I personally believe that these baskets were given back to the manchild ministry to re-distrubute to the people, ministering a new resurrecton life into the earth.
There are some reading this who are still in the passover feast, some who are ministering in the 5-fold only, the pentecost feast, and some are beginning to travail in birth of the manchild, and some have brought forth a manchild, who is still a small lad, and others are giving forth the bread and fish, while others are eating in abundance.
One more thing: the term "manchild" had 2 meanings, the first being the description given to any child who happens to be a male, and the term conferred upon a boy at his bar-mitzvah. When Jesus was taken to the temple at about 12 years of age to be presented, this was His bar-mitzvah. He was now considered a man, yet He was still a young boy, a "man-child."
That's why his parents forgot Him. He was considered a man now. He was found disputing with the elders and scribes and priests, as some of us are now doing, yet His time had not yet come, so He was taken home to grow and learn until the fullness of time was come. There are some living in that very realm today.
