1 Corinthians 15:45
A Quickening Spirit
And so it is written, “The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit”.
Our Savior is a quickening spirit-a revitalizing, breath of life giving “resuscitator” of weary souls. When your spiritual breath rate seems too heavy and the pace impossible, it’s probably a sign that you’re functioning only with Adam’s race, a race whose breath is in its nostrils. What we all need is a “spiritual-breath”, and in Jesus’ name, our Quickening Spiritual, it is available.
To pray in Jesus’ name, our Quickening Spirit, is to stop periodically and take a deep breath of His fresh, supernatural, “life-giving” air. It is to “catch our breath” in His promise: “Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not faint” Isaiah 40:31. Here’s a promise of spiritual vitality that is linked to waiting upon the Lord. We’re called to slow down in the Lord.
